In this paper, we show that the metric space Q is a positively-curved space (PC-space) in the sense of Alexandrov. We also discuss some issues like metric tangent cone and exponential map of Q. Then we give a stratification of this metric…
A topological space $X$ is $strongly$ $rigid$ if each non-constant continuous map $f:X\to X$ is the identity map of $X$. A Hausdorff topological space $X$ is called $Brown$ if for any nonempty open sets $U,V\subseteq X$ the intersection…
Homotopic distance $\D$ as introduced in \cite{MVML} can be realized as a pseudometric on $\mathrm{Map}(X,Y)$. In this paper, we study the topology induced by the pseudometric $\D$. In particular, we consider the space…
In this article, we introduce the notion of a functor on coarse spaces being coarsely excisive- a coarse analogue of the notion of a functor on topological spaces being excisive. Further, taking cones, a coarsely excisive functor yields a…
Shape(-and-scale) spaces - configuration spaces for generalized Kendall-type Shape(-and-Scale) Theories - are usually not manifolds but stratified manifolds. While in Kendall's own case - similarity shapes - the shape spaces are…
For a topological space $X$ a topological contraction on $X$ is a closed mapping $f:X\to X$ such that for every open cover of $X$ there is a positive integer $n$ such that the image of the space $X$ via the $n$th iteration of $f$ is a…
We characterize Ascoli spaces by showing that a Tychonoff space $X$ is Ascoli iff the canonical map from the free locally convex space $L(X)$ over $X$ into $C_k\big(C_k(X)\big)$ is an embedding of locally convex spaces. We prove that an…
We explore aspects of the physics of de Sitter (dS) space that are relevant to holography with a positive cosmological constant. First we display a nonlocal map that commutes with the de Sitter isometries, transforms the bulk-boundary…
We derive the gravitational and electrostatic self-energies of a particle at rest in the background of a cosmic dispiration (topological defect), finding that the particle may experience potential steps, well potentials or potential…
We study the properties of classical and quantum stable structures in a 3D parameter space corresponding to the dissipative kicked top. This is a model system in quantum and classical chaos that gives a starting point for many body…
The notion of soft sets is introduced as a general mathematical tool for dealing with uncertainty. In this paper, we consider the concepts of soft compactness, countably soft compactness and obtain some results. We study some soft…
Since Hochster's work, spectral spaces have attracted increasing interest. Through this note we intend to show that the set of proper ideals of a ring endowed with coarse lower topology is a spectral space.
In [1] we introduced the concept of structured space, which is a topological space that locally resembles some algebraic structures. In [2] we proceeded the study of these spaces, developing two cohomology theories. The aim of this paper is…
We study pullback from a topological viewpoint with emphasis on pullback of covering maps. We generalize a triad of Quillen on properties of the pullback functor.
If $(X,d)$ is a metric space then the map $f\colon X\to X$ is defined to be a weak contraction if $d(f(x),f(y))<d(x,y)$ for all $x,y\in X$, $x\neq y$. We determine the simplest non-closed sets $X\subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ in the sense of…
On a manifold or a closed subset of a Euclidean vector space, a retraction enables to move in the direction of a tangent vector while staying on the set. Retractions are a versatile tool to perform computational tasks such as optimization,…
This paper is concerned with the algebraic dual D*(\Omega) of the space of test functions D(\Omega). The emphasis is on failures and successes of D*(\Omega) as compared to the continuous dual D'(\Omega), the space of distributions.…
We study topologizability and power boundedness of weigh\-ted composition operators on (certain subspaces of) $\mathscr{D}'(X)$ for an open subset $X$ of $\mathbb{R}^d$. For the former property we derive a characterization in terms of the…
In this article we study two "strong" topologies for spaces of smooth functions from a finite-dimensional manifold to a (possibly infinite-dimensional) manifold modeled on a locally convex space. Namely, we construct Whitney type topologies…
The notions of compactness and Hausdorff separation for generalized enriched categories allow us, as classically done for the category $\mathsf{Top}$ of topological spaces and continuous functions, to study $\textit{compactly generated…
