When one considers the collection $\mathcal{H}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ of all compact subsets of $\mathbb{R}^n$ and equip it with a topology, many questions can be asked about the topological space one ends up with. This is an example of a…

We give a proof of the well-known fact that the category of nearness spaces is bireflective in the category of merotopic spaces which uses Zorn's Lemma instead of the usual construction by transfinite induction.

We first generalize a curve selection lemma for Noetherian schemes and apply it to prove a version of Curve Selection Lemma in arc spaces, answering affirmatively a question by Reguera. Furthermore, thanks to a structure theorem of…

We establish a structure theorem on the arc space of a $k$-scheme of finite type. More precisely, we show that the arc space is locally for the pro-smooth toplogy a product of an infinite dimensional affine space and of a non-noetherian…

Homotopy connectedness theorems for complex submanifolds of homogeneous spaces (sometimes referred to as theorems of Barth-Lefshetz type) have been established by a number of authors. Morse Theory on the space of paths lead to an elegant…

Let $A$ be a unital simple separable exact C$^*$-algebra which is approximately divisible and of real rank zero. We prove that the set of positive elements in $A$ with a fixed Cuntz class is path connected. This result applies in particular…

We establish a Sewing lemma in the regime $\gamma \in \left( 0, 1 \right]$, constructing a Sewing map which is neither unique nor canonical, but which is nonetheless continuous with respect to the standard norms. Two immediate corollaries…

Zorn's Lemma is a well-known equivalent of the Axiom of Choice. It is usually regarded as a topic in axiomatic set theory, and its historically standard proof (from the Axiom of Choice) relies on transfinite recursion, a non-elementary…

We formulate a theory of shape valid for objects of arbitrary dimension whose contours are path connected. We apply this theory to the design and modeling of viable trajectories of complex dynamical systems. Infinite families of…

We announce and examine the conjecture that each infinite connected normal Hausdorff space has a quotient homeomorphic to the unit interval, shown to be true with the additional assumption of compactness or local connectedness. Some…

The action of the mapping class group of a surface on the collection of homotopy classes of disjointly embedded curves or arcs in the surface is discussed here as a tool for understanding Riemann's moduli space and its topological and…

Consider a smooth map from a neighborhood of the origin in a real vector space to a neighborhood of the origin in a Euclidean space. Suppose that this map takes all germs of lines passing through the origin to germs of Euclidean circles, or…

While topology given by a linear order has been extensively studied, this cannot be said about the case when the order is given only locally. The aim of this paper is to fill this gap. We consider relation between local orderability and…

We explore an application of homological algebra to set theoretic objects by developing a cohomology theory for Hausdorff gaps. The cohomology theory is introduced with enough generality to be applicable to other questions in set theory.…

We construct a locally compact Hausdorff topology on the path space of a finitely aligned $k$-graph $\Lambda$. We identify the boundary-path space $\partial\Lambda$ as the spectrum of a commutative $C^*$-subalgebra $D_\Lambda$ of…

A vector topology on a vector space over a topological field is a (not necessarily Hausdorff) topology by which the addition and scalar multiplication are continuous. We prove that, if an isomorphism between the lattice of topologies of two…

We show path-connectedness for the space of $\mathbb{Z}^d$ actions by $C^1$ diffeomorphisms with absolutely continuous derivative on both the closed interval and the circle. We also give a new and short proof of the connectedness of the…

This paper constructs a continuous decomposition of the Sierpi\'nski curve into acyclic continua one of which is an arc. This decomposition is then used to construct another continuous decomposition of the Sierpi\'nski curve. The resulting…

We prove a Curve Selection Lemma valid in infinite-dimensional algebraic geometry and apply it, together with a structure theorem of Grinberg-Kahzdan and Drinfeld, to obtain a Curve Selection Lemma in arc spaces.

In this paper we present a proof of the BMZ Reduction Lemma with a motivational perspective, and state this lemma for maps to manifolds using the classical definition of cohomological dimension. The lemma, proved and utilized in [4], gives…
