We introduce and investigate a topological version of St\"ackel's 1907 characterization of finite sets, with the goal of obtaining an interesting notion that characterizes usual compactness (or a close variant of it). Define a $T_2$…

Let $Q$ denote the space of signed measures on the Borel $\sigma$-algebra of a separable complete space $X$. We endow $Q$ with the norm $\|q\|=\sup|\int\phi dq|$, where the supremum is taken over all Lipschitz with constant 1 functions…

The space of closed subgroups of a locally compact topological group is endowed with a natural topology, called the Chabauty topology. Let X be a symmetric space of noncompact type, and G be its group of isometries. The space X identifies…

For a domain $G$ in the one-point compactification $\overline{\mathbb{R}}^n = \mathbb{R}^n \cup \{ \infty\}$ of $\mathbb{R}^n, n \ge 2$, we characterize the completeness of the modulus metric $\mu_G$ in terms of a potential-theoretic…

We prove that uniformly disconnected subsets of metric measure spaces with controlled geometry (complete, Ahlfors regular, supporting a Poincare inequality, and a mild topological condition) are contained in a quasisymmetric arc. This…

Let $X, Y$ be separable metrizable spaces, where $X$ is noncompact and $Y$ is equipped with an admissible complete metric $d$. We show that the space $C(X,Y)$ of continuous maps from $X$ into $Y$ equipped with the uniform topology is…

Given a metrizable space $X$, let $AM(X)$ be the space of continuous bounded admissible metrics on $X$, which is endowed with the sup-metric. In this paper, we shall investigate the Borel complexity and the complete metrizability of $AM(X)$…

Bonk and Kleiner showed that any metric sphere which is Ahlfors 2-regular and linearly locally contractible is quasisymmetrically equivalent to the standard sphere, in a quantitative way. We extend this result to arbitrary metric compact…

In this paper, we show that the low energy spaces in the prescribed singularity case $\mathcal{E}_{\psi}(X,\theta,\phi)$ have a natural topology which is completely metrizable. This topology is stronger than convergence in capacity.

We construct new examples of quasi-asymptotically conical (QAC) Calabi-Yau manifolds that are not quasi-asymptotically locally Euclidean (QALE). We do so by first providing a natural compactification of QAC-spaces by manifolds with fibred…

We consider quasiconformal deformations of $\mathbb{C}\setminus\mathbb{Z}$. We give some criteria for infinitely often punctured planes to be quasiconformally equivalent to $\mathbb{C}\setminus\mathbb{Z}$. In particular, we characterize the…

We develop the foundations of the theory of quasi-visual approximations of bounded metric spaces. Roughly speaking, these are sequences of covers of a given space for which the diameters of the sets in the covers shrink to zero and for…

Let $f \colon X \rightarrow Y$ be a resolvable-measurable mapping of a metrizable space $X$ to a regular space $Y$. Then $f$ is piecewise continuous. Additionally, for a metrizable completely Baire space $X$, it is proved that $f$ is…

Let k be a non archimedean field. If X is a k-algebraic variety and U a locally closed semi-algebraic subset of X^{an} -- the Berkovich space associated to X -- we show that for l \neq char(\tilde{k}), the cohomology groups H^i_c (\bar{U},…

Almost-isometries are quasi-isometries with multiplicative constant one. Lifting a pair of metrics on a compact space gives quasi-isometric metrics on the universal cover. Under some additional hypotheses on the metrics, we show that there…

A measure-scaling quasi-isometry between two connected graphs is a quasi-isometry that is quasi-$\kappa$-to-one in a natural sense for some $\kappa>0$. For non-amenable graphs, all quasi-isometries are quasi-$\kappa$-to-one for any…

As part of a programme to classify quasi-Einstein metrics $(M,g,X)$ on closed manifolds and near-horizon geometries of extreme black holes, we study such spaces when the vector field $X$ is divergence-free but not identically zero. This…

We study a model situation in which direct limit ($\text{colim}$) and inverse limit ($\lim$) do not commute, and offer some computations of their "commutator". The homology of a separable metrizable space $X$ has two well-known…

We examine sufficient conditions for the dual of a topological group to be metrizable and locally compact.

A construction analogous to that of Godefroy-Kalton for metric spaces allows to embed isometrically, in a canonical way, every quasi-metric space $(X,d)$ to an asymmetric normed space $\mathcal{F}_a(X,d)$ (its quasi-metric free space, also…
