Let $X$ be a smooth dendroid in the plane $\mathbb R^2$. We show that each endpoint of $X$ is arcwise accessible from $\mathbb R^2\setminus X$, and that the space of endpoints $E(X)$ has the property of a circle. In the event that $E(X)$ is…

Given a hypersurface defined by $f$ in a smooth complex algebraic variety $X$, and a point $P$ on this hypersurface, we consider the invariant $\beta_P(f)$ given by the log canonical threshold at $P$ of ${\mathfrak m}_P\cdot J_f$, where…

A topological space $(X,\tau)$ is called a locally LC-space if every point of $X$ has a neighborhood $U$ such that every Lindel\"{o}f subset of $(U,\tau|U)$ is a closed subset of $(U,\tau|U)$. The aim of this paper is to continue the study…

A topological space ${\mathcal X}$ is reversible iff each continuous bijection (condensation) $f: {\mathcal X} \rightarrow {\mathcal X}$ is a homeomorphism; weakly reversible iff whenever ${\mathcal Y}$ is a space and there are…

Let $G$ be a Lie group, $\Gamma\subset G$ a discrete subgroup, $X=G/\Gamma$, and $f$ an affine map from $X$ to itself. We give conditions on a submanifold $Z$ of $X$ guaranteeing that the set of points $x\in X$ with $f$-trajectories…

Let $\alpha(\mathbb{F}_q^{d},p)$ be the maximum possible size of a point set in general position in the $p$-random subset of $\mathbb{F}_q^d$. In this note, we determine the order of magnitude of $\alpha(\mathbb{F}_q^{3},p)$ up to a…

We consider a topological space with its subbase which induces a coding for each point. Every second-countable Hausdorff space has a subbase that is the union of countably many pairs of disjoint open subsets. A dyadic subbase is such a…

As proved in [16], for a Tychonoff space $X$, a locally convex space $C_{p}(X)$ is distinguished if and only if $X$ is a $\Delta$-space. If there exists a linear continuous surjective mapping $T:C_p(X) \to C_p(Y)$ and $C_p(X)$ is…

We work in set-theory without choice ZF. Denoting by AC(N) the countable axiom of choice, we show in ZF+AC(N) that the closed unit ball of a uniformly convex Banach space is compact in the convex topology (an alternative to the weak…

If $f$ is a real valued weakly lower semi-continous function on a Banach space $X$ and $C$ a weakly compact subset of $X$, we show that the set of $x \in X$ such that $z \mapsto \|x-z\|-f(z)$ attains its supremum on $C$ is dense in $X$. We…

Let f be an orientation-preserving homeomorphism of the plane such that f-Id is contracting. Under these hypotheses, we establish the existence, for every periodic orbit, of a fixed point which has nonzero linking number with this periodic…

A set X which is a subset of the Cantor set has property (s) (Marczewski (Spzilrajn)) iff for every perfect set P there exists a perfect set Q contained in P such that Q is a subset of X or Q is disjoint from X. Suppose U is a nonprincipal…

Let $F:[0,T]\times\R^n\mapsto 2^{\R^n}$ be a continuous multifunction with compact, not necessarily convex values. In this paper, we prove that, if $F$ satisfies the following Lipschitz Selection Property: \begin{itemize} \item[{(LSP)}]…

We prove a homotopy invariance result for a certain covering space of the space of ordered configurations of two points in $M \times X$ where $M$ is a closed smooth manifold and $X$ is any fixed aspherical space which is not a point.

Let X and Y be compact, simply connected and locally connected subsets of R^2, and let f : X -> Y be a homeomorphism isotopic to the identity on X. Generalizing Brouwer's plane translation theorem for self-maps of the plane, we prove that f…

For a Tychonoff space $X$, we denote by $(C(X), \tau_k, \tau_p)$ the bitopological space of all real-valued continuous functions on $X$ where $\tau_k$ is the compact-open topology and $\tau_p$ is the topology of pointwise convergence. In…

We give a sufficient condition for the abstract basin of attraction of a sequence of holomorphic self-maps of balls in \mathbb{C}^{d} to be biholomorphic to \mathbb{C}^{d}. As a consequence, we get a sufficient condition for the stable…

It is shown that if a real value PL-invariant of closed combinatorial manifolds admits a local formula that depends only on the f-vector of the link of each vertex, then the invariant must be a constant times the Euler characteristic.

We prove a boundary version of the open mapping theorem for holomorphic maps between strongly pseudoconvex domains. That is, we prove that the local image of a holomorphic map $f:D\to D'$ close to a boundary regular contact point $p\in \de…

Given a finite point set $P$ in the plane, a subset $S \subseteq P$ is called an island in $P$ if $conv(S) \cap P = S$. We say that $S\subset P$ is a visible island if the points in $S$ are pairwise visible and $S$ is an island in $P$. The…
