For a Hausdorff space $X$, a free involution $\tau:X\to X$ and a Hausdorff space $Y$, we discover a connection between the sectional category of the double covers $q:X\to X/\tau$ and $q^Y:F(Y,2)\to D(Y,2)$ from the ordered configuration…

It seems that the index theory for non-compact spaces has found its ultimate formulation in realm of coarse spaces and $K$-theory of related operator algebras. Relative and partitioned index theorems may be mentioned as two important and…

Let $G$ be a connected, real semisimple Lie group. Let $K<G$ be maximal compact, and let $\Gamma < G$ be discrete and such that $\Gamma \backslash G$ has finite volume. If the real rank of $G$ is $1$ and $\Gamma$ is torsion-free, then…

Let (X, t, S) be a triple, where S is a compact, connected surface without boundary, and t is a free cellular involution on a CW-complex X. The triple (X, t, S) is said to satisfy the Borsuk-Ulam property if for every continuous map…

We consider spaces with free involutions that satisfy the Borsuk - Ulam theorems (BUT-spaces). There are several equivalent definitions for BUT-spaces that can be considered as their properties. Our main technical tool is Yang's…

In this paper, uniform versions of index for uniform spaces equipped with free involutions are introduced. They are mainly based on B-index defined and studied by C.-T. Yang in 1955, index studied by Conner and Floyd in 1960 and further…

We introduce the concept of injective category number $\text{IC}(f)$ for a continuous map $f\colon X\to~Y$, and present fundamental results concerning this numerical invariant. The value $\text{IC}(f)$ quantifies the \aspas{complexity} or…

Let $X$ be a $G$-space. In this paper, we introduce the notion of sectional category with respect to $G$. As a result, we obtain $G$-homotopy invariants: the LS category with respect to $G$, the sequential topological complexity with…

This paper establishes a Borsuk-Ulam type theorem for PL-manifolds with a finite group action, depending on the free equivariant cobordism class of a manifold. In particular, necessary and sufficient conditions are considered for a manifold…

In combinatorial problems it is sometimes possible to define a $G$-equivariant mapping from a space $X$ of configurations of a system to a Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^m$ for which a coincidence of the image of this mapping with an…

For finite connected graphs $\Gamma$ and $G$, with $\Gamma$ admitting a free involution $\tau$, we characterize the based homotopy classes $\alpha\in[\Gamma,G]$ for which the Borsuk-Ulam property holds in the sense of Gon\c{c}alves, Guaschi…

We first compute the James' sectional category (secat) of the Ganea map g_k of any map f in terms of the sectional category of f: We show that secat(g_k) is the integer part of secat(f)/(k+1). Next we compute the relative category (relcat)…

In this paper, for fibrations $p:E\to B$, $p':E'\to B$ over $B$ and a free involution $\tau:E\to E$ which satisfy the equality $p\circ\tau=p$, we discover a connection between the sectional category of the double covers $q:E\to E/\tau$ and…

We formulate and prove a version of the Segal Conjecture for infinite groups. For finite groups it reduces to the original version. The condition that G is finite is replaced in our setting by the assumption that there exists a finite model…

For any finite abelian group $G$ and commutative unitary ring $R$, by $R[G]$ we denote the group algebra over $R$. Let $T=(g_1,\ldots,g_{\ell})$ be a sequence over the group $G$. We say $T$ is algebraically zero-sum free over R if…

Palu defined the index with respect to a cluster tilting object in a suitable triangulated category, in order to better understand the Caldero-Chapoton map that exhibits the connection between cluster algebras and representation theory. We…

In this paper we carry the construction of equilogical spaces into an arbitrary category $\mathsf{X}$ topological over $\mathsf{Set}$, introducing the category $\mathsf{X}$-$\mathsf{Equ}$ of equilogical objects. Similar to what is done for…

The genus of a fibration was introduced by Schwarz in 1962. Given a continuous map $g:A\to B$, the usual sectional number $\text{sec}_u(g)$ is the least integer~$m$ such that $B$ can be covered by $m$ open subsets, each of which admits a…

A numerical index is introduced for semigroups of completely positive maps of $\Cal B(H)$ which generalizes the index of E_0-semigroups. It is shown that the index of a unital completely positive semigroup agrees with the index of its…

We discuss the inequalities for $q$-integrals because of the fact that the inequalities can be very useful in the future mathematical research. Since $q$-integral of a function over an interval $[a,b]$ is defined by the difference of two…
