Let $G$ be a cyclic $p$-group or generalized quaternion group, $X\in \pi_0 S_G$ be a virtual $G$-set, and $V$ be a fixed point free complex $G$-representation. Under conditions depending on the sizes of $G$, $X$, and $V$, we construct a…
Given a commutative ring $R$, a $\pi_1$-$R$-equivalence is a continuous map of spaces inducing an isomorphism on fundamental groups and an $R$-homology equivalence between universal covers. When $R$ is an algebraically closed field, Raptis…
Let $X$ be a locally compact zero-dimensional space, let $S$ be an equicontinuous set of homeomorphisms such that $1 \in S = S^{-1}$, and suppose that $\overline{Gx}$ is compact for each $x \in X$, where $G = \langle S \rangle$. We show in…
In this article, we study compactifications of homogeneous spaces coming from equivariant, open embeddings into a generalized flag manifold $G/P$. The key to this approach is that in each case $G/P$ is the homogeneous model for a parabolic…
Let $G$ be a metric group and let $\sA ut(G)$ denote the automorphism group of $G$. If $\sA$ and $\sB$ are groups of $G$-valued maps defined on the sets $X$ and $Y$, respectively, we say that $\sA$ and $\sB$ are \emph{equivalent} if there…
We show that for any compact connected group G the second cohomology group defined by unitary invariant 2-cocycles on \hat G is canonically isomorphic to H^2(\hat{Z(G)};T). This implies that the group of autoequivalences of the C*-tensor…
We study amenability of definable and topological groups. Among our main technical tools is an elaboration on and strengthening of the Massicot-Wagner version of the stabilizer theorem, and some results around measures. As an application we…
Let $G$ be a group of homeomorphisms of a topological space $X$. $G$ is $\textit{(properly) isometrizable}$ if there exists a $G$-invariant (proper) gauge structure on $X$. $G$ is $\textit{equiregular}$ if for every $x \in X$ and every open…
The paper presents some weak compactness criterion for a subset $M$ of the set $\mathfrak{RM}_b(T,\mathcal{G})$ of all positive bounded Radon measures on a Hausdorff topological space $(T,\mathcal{G})$ similar to the Prokhorov criterion for…
Given a symmetric triple $(G,K,\sigma)$ of compact type, with $G^{\sigma} = K$, the well known Cartan embedding $\hat{\Phi}: G/K \to G$ homothetically embeds the symmetric space $M = G/K$ as a totally geodesic submanifold of $G$. In this…
Let $S$ be a set of transpositions that generates the symmetric group $S_n$, where $n \ge 3$. The transposition graph $T(S)$ is defined to be the graph with vertex set $\{1,\ldots,n\}$ and with vertices $i$ and $j$ being adjacent in $T(S)$…
Let $(G,K)$ be a Riemannian symmetric pair of maximal rank, where $G$ is a compact simply connected Lie group and $K$ the fixed point set of an involutive automorphism $\sigma$. This induces an involutive automorphism $\tau$ of the based…
It is well known that the moduli space of flat connections on a trivial principal bundle MxG, where G is a connected Lie group, is isomorphic to the representation variety Hom(\pi_1(M), G)/G. For a tiling T, viewed as a marked copy of R^d,…
Let $G$ be a topological group and let $\mu$ be the Lebesgue measure on the interval $[0,1]$. We let $L_0(G)$ to be the topological group of all $\mu$-equivalence classes of $\mu$-measurable functions defined on [0,1] with values in $G$,…
We introduce and study a genuine equivariant refinement of the Tate construction associated to an extension $\widehat{G}$ of a finite group $G$ by a compact Lie group $K$, which we call the parametrized Tate construction $(-)^{t_G K}$. Our…
Motivated by proving the loss of ergodicity in expanding systems of piecewise affine coupled maps with arbitrary number of units, all-to-all coupling and inversion symmetry, we provide ad-hoc substitutes - namely inversion-symmetric maps of…
The following selection theorem is established:\\ Let $X$ be a compactum possessing a binary normal subbase $\mathcal S$ for its closed subsets. Then every set-valued $\mathcal S$-continuous map $\Phi\colon Z\to X$ with closed $\mathcal…
This manuscript develops a framework for the strong approximation of Sobolev maps with values in compact manifolds, emphasizing the interplay between local and global topological properties. Building on topological concepts adapted to VMO…
A topological group $G$ is {\em extremely amenable} if every compact $G$-space has a $G$-fixed point. Let $X$ be compact and $G\subset{\mathrm{Homeo}} (X)$. We prove that the following are equivalent: (1) $G$ is extremely amenable; (2)…
We introduce the notion of \emph{topo-symmetric extensions} of topological groups, a new generalization of classical group extensions that incorporates both topological and symmetry constraints. We define morphisms between such extensions,…
