Let X be a h-homogeneous zero-dimensional compact Hausdorff space, i.e. X is a Stone dual of a homogeneous Boolean algebra. It is shown that the universal minimal space M(G) of the topological group G=Homeo(X), is the space of maximal…

There is a well known link between (maximal) polar representations and isotropy representations of symmetric spaces provided by Dadok. Moreover, the theory by Tits and Burns-Spatzier provides a link between irreducible symmetric spaces of…

We give a new and elementary proof showing that a homeomorphism of a compact metric space is positively expansive if and only if the space is finite.

Let $\pi: P\to B$ be a locally trivial fiber bundle over a connected CW complex $B$ with fiber equal to the closed symplectic manifold $(M,\om)$. Then $\pi$ is said to be a symplectic fiber bundle if its structural group is the group of…

For a continuous action $G\curvearrowright X$ of a countable group on a compact metrizable space we show that the following are equivalent: (i) the action $G\curvearrowright X$ has the small boundary property and no finite orbits, (ii) for…

We develop the theory of subproduct systems over the monoid $\mathbb{N}\times \mathbb{N}$, and the non-self-adjoint operator algebras associated with them. These are double sequences of Hilbert spaces $\{X(m,n)\}_{m,n=0}^\infty$ equipped…

The group of compactly supported homeomorphisms on a Tychonoff space can be topologized in a number of ways, including as a colimit of homeomorphism groups with a given compact support, or as a subgroup of the homeomorphism group of its…

We construct different types of quasiperiodically forced circle homeomorphisms with transitive but non-minimal dynamics. Concerning the recent Poincar\'e-like classification for this class of maps of Jaeger-Stark, we demonstrate that…

We introduce a type of zero-dimensional dynamical system (a pair consisting of a totally disconnected compact metrizable space along with a homeomorphism of that space), which we call "fiberwise essentially minimal", and we prove that the…

A reductive homogeneous space $G/H$ is always diffeomorphic to the normal bundle of an orbit of a maximal compact subgroup of $G$. We prove that if $G/H$ admits compact quotients, then the sphere bundle associated to this normal bundle is…

In the first part of the paper we construct a ring structure on the rational cobordism classes of Morin maps (i. e. smooth generic maps of corank 1). We show that associating to a Morin map its singular strata defines a ring homomorphism to…

Results of Sierpinski and others have shown that certain finite-dimensional product sets can be written as unions of subsets, each of which is "narrow" in a corresponding direction; that is, each line in that direction intersects the subset…

The first author introduced a measure of compactness for families of sets, relative to a class of filters, in the context of convergence approach spaces. We characterize a variety of maps (types of quotient maps, closed maps, and variants…

We introduce the notion of a ``sofic $\mathcal{C}$-action'' of one group on another by automorphisms, for $\mathcal{C}$ a class of groups. We show that if $\mathcal{C}$ is the class of (i) sofic, (ii) hyperlinear, (iii) linear sofic or (iv)…

The free loop space of a Lie group is homeomorphic to the product of the Lie group itself and its based loop space. We show that the coproduct on the homology of the free loop space that was introduced by Goresky and Hingston splits into…

For $C^*$-algebras $A_1, A_2$ the map $(I_1,I_2)\to ker(q_{I_1}\otimes q_{I_2})$ from $Id^{\prime}(A_1)\times Id^{\prime}(A_2)$ into $Id^{\prime}(A_1\otimes_{\mathrm{min}} A_2) is a homeomorphism onto its image which is dense in the range.…

For two not necessarily commutative topological groups G and T, let H(G,T) denote the space of all continuous homomorphisms from G to T with the compact-open topology. We prove that if G is metrizable and T is compact then H(G,T) is a…

Let nbar=(n_1,...,n_r). The quotient space P_nbar:=(S^{n_1} x...x S^{n_r})/(x ~ -x)is what we call a projective product space. We determine the integral cohomology ring and the action of the Steenrod algebra. We give a splitting of Sigma…

A coproduct on a vector space $A$ is defined as a linear map $\Delta:A\to A\otimes A$ satisfying coassociativity $(\Delta\otimes\iota)\Delta=(\iota\otimes\Delta)\Delta$. We use $\iota$ for the identity map. If $G$ is a finite group and if…

Let $X$ be a Hausdorff topological group and $G$ a locally compact subgroup of $X$. We show that $X$ admits a locally finite $\sigma$-discrete $G$-functionally open cover each member of which is $G$-homeomorphic to a twisted product…
