Let $X$ be a compact metric space, let $A$ be a unital AH algebra with large matrix sizes, and let $B$ be a stably finite unital C*-algebra. Then we give a lower bound for the radius of comparison of $C(X) \otimes B$ and prove that the…

Let $X$ be an infinite compact metric space and let $h$ be a minimal homeomorphism of $X$. We prove that the radius of comparison of the transformation group C*-algebra of $h$ is at most $1$ plus $36$ times the mean dimension of $h$.

The radius of comparison is an invariant for unital C*-algebras which extends the theory of covering dimension to noncommutative spaces. We extend its definition to general C*-algebras, and give an algebraic (as opposed to…

We introduce a notion of mean cohomological independence dimension for actions of discrete amenable groups on compact metrizable spaces, as a variant of mean dimension, and use it to obtain lower bounds for the radius of comparison of the…

We prove that, for any Hausdorff continuum X, if dim X > 1 then the hyperspace C(X) of subcontinua of X is not a C-space; if dim X = 1 and X is hereditarily indecomposable then dim C(X) = 2 or C(X) is not a C-space. This generalizes results…

Recall that the radius of a compact metric space $(X, dist)$ is given by $rad\ X = \min_{x\in X} \max_{y\in X} dist(x,y)$. In this paper we generalize Berger's $\frac{1}{4}$-pinched rigidity theorem and show that a closed, simply connected,…

Consider a minimal free topological dynamical system $(X, T, \mathbb{Z}^d)$. It is shown that the comparison radius of the crossed product C*-algebra $\mathrm{C}(X) \rtimes \mathbb{Z}^d$ is at most the half of the mean topological dimension…

Let (X,d) be a metric space and m\in X. Suppose that \phi:X\times X\to\mathbold{R} is a nonnegative symmetric function. We define a metric d^{\phi,m} on X which is equivalent to d. If d^{\phi,m} is totally bounded, its completion is a…

Let $X$ be a Hausdorff compact space and $C(X)$ be the algebra of all continuous complex-valued functions on $X$, endowed with the supremum norm. We say that $C(X)$ is (approximately) $n$-th root closed if any function from $C(X)$ is…

Let $(X,\tau)$ be a Hausdorff space, where $X$ is an infinite set. The compact complement topology $\tau^{\star}$ on $X$ is defined by: $\tau^{\star}=\{\emptyset\} \cup \{X\setminus M, \text{where $M$ is compact in $(X,\tau)$}\}$. In this…

We prove that, given an $RCD^{*}(K,N)$-space $(X,d,m)$, then it is possible to $m$-essentially cover $X$ by measurable subsets $(R_{i})_{i\in \mathbb{N}}$ with the following property: for each $i$ there exists $k_{i} \in \mathbb{N}\cap…

In this article we study the Ahlfors regular conformal gauge of a compact metric space $(X,d)$, and its conformal dimension $\mathrm{dim}_{AR}(X,d)$. Using a sequence of finite coverings of $(X,d)$, we construct distances in its Ahlfors…

For a compact subset K of the plane and a point x, we define the visible part of K from x to be the set K_x={u\in K : [x,u]\cap K={u}}. (Here [x,u] denotes the closed line segment joining x to u.) In this paper, we use energies to show that…

In the present paper we investigate the properties of the Hausdorff mapping $\mathcal{H}$, which takes each compact metric space to the space of its nonempty closed subspaces. It is shown that this mapping is nonexpanding (Lipschitz mapping…

For a compact connected set $X\subseteq \ell^{\infty}$, we define a quantity $\beta'(x,r)$ that measures how close $X$ may be approximated in a ball $B(x,r)$ by a geodesic curve. We then show there is $c>0$ so that if $\beta'(x,r)>\beta>0$…

If $X$ is compact metrizable and has finite fd-height then the unit interval, $I$, $\ell$-dominates $X$, in other words, there is a continuous linear map of $C_p(I)$ onto $C_p(X)$. If the unit interval $\ell$-dominates a space $X$ then $X$…

Let $G$ be a finite group, let $A$ be an infinite-dimensional stably finite simple unital C*-algebra, and let $\alpha \colon G \to \operatorname{Aut} (A)$ be a tracially strictly approximately inner action of $G$ on $A$. Then the radius of…

As proved by Dimov [Acta Math. Hungarica, 129 (2010), 314--349], there exists a duality L between the category HLC of locally compact Hausdorff spaces and continuous maps, and the category DHLC of complete local contact algebras and…

We prove that compact Hausdorff spaces with a $\mathbb{P}$-diagonal are metrizable.

It is shown that if a compact metric space $(X, d)$ is bi-H\"older equivalent to an ultrametric space, then the logarithmic ratio $R(X,d)$ is finite. Conversely, if the logarithmic ratio $R(X,d)$ is finite and ${\A}^*_p (X) \ne \emptyset$…
