In a recent paper, it was shown that the problem of existence of a continuous map $X \to Y$ extending a given map $A \to Y$ defined on a subspace $A \subseteq X$ is undecidable, even for $Y$ an even-dimensional sphere. In the present paper,…

Suppose $\phi$ is a $\mathbb{Z}/4$-cover of a curve over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $2$, and $\Phi_1$ is a \emph{nice} lift of $\phi$'s $\mathbb{Z}/2$-sub-cover to a complete discrete valuation ring $R$ in…

We show that under the action of $\mathrm{diag}(e^{nt},e^{-r_1(t)},\ldots,e^{-r_n(t)})\in\mathrm{SL}(n+1,\mathbb{R})$, where $r_i(t)\to\infty$, on the space of unimodular lattices in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, the translates of any fixed-sized…

We characterize those mappings from a compact subset of $\mathbb{R}$ into the Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}^{n}$ which can be extended to a $C^{m}$ horizontal curve in $\mathbb{H}^{n}$. The characterization combines the classical Whitney…

In this note we analyze the use of Pad\'e approximants for downward continuation beyond the radius of convergence of spherical harmonic expansions (SHEs), and for identifying the complex singularities of the gravitational potential. SHEs…

A connected compact subset $E$ of $\mathbb{R}^N$ is said to be a strict Whitney set if there exists a real-valued $C^1$ function $f$ on $\mathbb{R}^N$ with $\nabla f|_E\equiv 0$ such that $f$ is constant on no non-empty relatively open…

We first prove a version of Tietze-Urysohn's theorem for proper functions taking values in non-negative real numbers defined on $\sigma$-compact locally compact Hausdorff spaces. As its application, we prove an extension theorem of proper…

Relying on a recent criterion, due to A.~Petrunin [18], to check if a complete, non-compact, Riemannian manifold admits an isometric embedding into a Euclidean space with positive reach, we extend to manifolds with such property the…

We develop a general framework for construction and analysis of discrete extension operators with application to unfitted finite element approximation of partial differential equations. In unfitted methods so called cut elements intersected…

Brehm's extension theorem states that a non-expansive map on a finite subset of a Euclidean space can be extended to a piecewise-linear map on the entire space. In this note, it is verified that the proof of the theorem is constructive…

Let $L^m_p(R^n)$, $p\in [1,\infty]$, be the homogeneous Sobolev space, and let $E\subset R^n$ be a closed set. For each $p>n$ and each non-negative integer $m$ we give an intrinsic characterization of the restrictions to $E$ of $m$-jets…

Let $X$ and $Y$ be finite simplicial sets (e.g. finite simplicial complexes), both equipped with a free simplicial action of a finite group $G$. Assuming that $Y$ is $d$-connected and $\dim X\le 2d$, for some $d\geq 1$, we provide an…

We consider postcritically finite rational maps $f\colon \widehat{\mathbb{C}} \to \widehat{\mathbb{C}}$ whose Julia set is the whole Riemann sphere $\widehat{\mathbb{C}}$. We call such a map an expanding rational Thurston map. Identifying…

We prove an algebraic extension theorem for the computably enumerable sets, $\mathcal{E}$. Using this extension theorem and other work we then show if $A$ and $\hat{A}$ are automorphic via $\Psi$ then they are automorphic via $\Lambda$…

We show that an entire branched cover of finite distortion cannot have a compact branch set if its distortion satisfies a certain asymptotic growth condition. We furthermore show that this bound is strict by constructing an entire,…

Given a positive integer $p$, we consider $W^{1,p}$-maps from a Euclidean domain of dimension $p+1$ into a closed Riemannian manifold $\mathcal{N}$. The target manifold is required to satisfy suitable topological conditions; in particular,…

Let $\Sigma$ be a hypersurface in an $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold $M$, $n\geqslant 2$. We study the isometric extension problem for isometric immersions $f:\Sigma\to\mathbb R^n$, where $\mathbb R^n$ is equipped with the Euclidean…

We investigate a scheme-theoretic variant of Whitney condition a. If X is a projec-tive variety over the field of complex numbers and Y $\subset$ X a subvariety, then X satisfies generically the scheme-theoretic Whitney condition a along Y…

Length-constrained expander decompositions are a new graph decomposition that has led to several recent breakthroughs in fast graph algorithms. Roughly, an $(h, s)$-length $\phi$-expander decomposition is a small collection of length…

We consider the problem of constructing a weakly-continuous mapping extending continuous mapping defined on a dense set of a topological space to the entire space. Theorem on necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of such an…
