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.

We prove a generalisation of the $\epsilon$-property, namely that for any dimension and signature, a metric which is not characterised by its polynomial scalar curvature invariants, there is a frame such that the components of the curvature…

For any $1\le r\le \infty$, we show that every diffeomorphism of a manifold of the form $\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z} \times M$ is a total renormalization of a $C^r$-close to identity map. In other words, for every diffeomorphism $f$ of…

We prove that every projective variety of dimension n over a field of positive characteristic admits a morphism to projective n-space, etale away from the hyperplane H at infinity, which maps a chosen divisor into H and a chosen smooth…

We derive sufficient conditions for sampling with derivatives in shift-invariant spaces generated by a periodic exponential B-spline. The sufficient conditions are expressed with a new notion of measuring the gap between consecutive…

We first show that the projection image of a discrete definable set is again discrete for an arbitrary definably complete locally o-minimal structure. This fact together with the results in a previous paper implies tame dimension theory and…

We call a dynamical system on a measurable metric space {\em measure-expansive} if the probability of two orbits remain close each other for all time is negligible (i.e. zero). We extend results of expansive systems on compact metric spaces…

We define the tangential derivative, a notion of directional derivative which is invariant under diffeomorphisms. In particular this derivative is invariant under changes of chart and is thus well-defined for functions defined on a…

We provide examples of nonseparable compact spaces with the property that any continuous image which is homeomorphic to a finite product of spaces has a maximal prescribed number of nonseparable factors.

We define shadowable points for homeomorphism on metric spaces. In the compact case we will prove the following results: The set of shadowable points is invariant, possibly nonempty or noncompact. A homeomorphism has the pseudo-orbit…

We prove that for any compact zero-dimensional metric space $X$ on which an infinite countable amenable group $G$ acts freely by homeomorphisms, there exists a dynamical quasitiling with good covering, continuity, F{\o}lner and dynamical…

For a large class of metric spaces with nice local structure, which includes Banach-Finsler manifolds and geodesic spaces of curvature bounded above, we give sufficient conditions for a local homeomorphism to be a covering projection. We…

Through making use of a Borel measure and a piecewise-Riemannian inner scalar product, it is shown that over a Lorentzian manifold every three diffeomorphisms generate a conformal space, whose elements are smooth vector-valued functions…

We define the notions of unilateral metric derivatives and ``metric derived numbers'' in analogy with Dini derivatives (also referred to as ``derived numbers'') and establish their basic properties. We also prove that the set of points…

A homemorphism between domains in $\mathbb R^n$, $n\ge 2$ is quasiconformal, with its intricate analytic and geometric consequences, if the (pointwise) linear dilatation -- a purely metric quantity -- is uniformly bounded. Gehring proved…

We determine the homeomorphism type of the space of smooth complete nonnegatively curved metrics on surfaces of positive Euler characteristic equipped with the topology of $C^\gamma$ uniform convergence on compact sets, when $\gamma$ is…

We explore the interplay between different definitions of distortion for mappings $f\colon X\to \mathbb{R}^2$, where $X$ is any metric surface, meaning that $X$ is homeomorphic to a domain in $\mathbb{R}^2$ and has locally finite…

For metrizable spaces we replace the notion of almost periodic homeomorphism with a similar notion and verify that the usual characterizations of almost periodic homeomorphisms of compact metric spaces are valid for all metrizable spaces.

Generalized derivatives and infinitesimal spaces generalize the idea of derivatives to mappings which need not be differentiable. It is particularly powerful in the context of quasiregular mappings, where normal family arguments imply…

We prove that a compactly supported homeomorphism of a smooth manifold of dimension greater or equal to 5 can be approximated uniformly by compactly supported diffeomorphisms if and only if it is isotopic to a diffeomorphism. If the given…
