We show that the group of homeomorphisms of a compact contractible $d$-manifold which fix the boundary is contractible, as long as $d \geq 6$. We deduce this from a strong uniqueness statement for one-sided $h$-cobordisms.

In this paper we prove an isoperimetric inequality of euclidean type for complete metric spaces admitting a cone-type inequality. These include all Banach spaces and all complete, simply-connected metric spaces of non-positive curvature in…

For a smooth spacetime $X$, based on the timelike homotopy classes of its timelike paths, we define a topology on $X$ that refines the Alexandrov topology and always coincides with the manifold topology. The space of timelike or causal…

In this note, we verify the classification of local geometries given by A.Z. Petrov. First, we determine criteria for identifying a given 3D Lorentz homogeneous space in Petrov's classification. Then, we identify all inequivalent 1D…

We prove that Alexandrov's conjecture relating the area and diameter of a convex surface holds for the surface of a general ellipsoid. This is a direct consequence of a more general result which estimates the deviation from the optimal…

In this paper we showed that every connected extremal K\"ahler submanifold of a complex projetive space has a natural extension which is a complete K\"ahler manifold and admits a holomorphic isometric immersion into the same ambient space.…

We study groups endowed with Alexandroff topologies and show that no non-discrete Alexandroff topology can turn a group into a topological group. This settles negatively the basic existence problem for Alexandroff topological groups.…

We prove the existence of almost isoperimetric extremisers for two classes of probability measures defined respectively on the Grushin space and a stratified Lie group. It turns out such extremisers can be regarded as a type of anisotropic…

Refining a basic result of Alexander, we show that two flag simplicial complexes are piecewise linearly homeomorphic if and only if they can be connected by a sequence of flag complexes, each obtained from the previous one by either an edge…

Consider the unordered configuration spaces of manifolds. Knudsen, Miller and Tosteson proved that the extremal homology groups of configuration spaces of manifold are eventually quasi polynomials. In this paper, we give the precise degree…

Recently, I. Kossovskiy and R. Shafikov have settled the so-called Dimension Conjecture, which characterizes spherical hypersurfaces in ${\mathbb C}^2$ via the dimension of the algebra of infinitesimal automorphisms. In this note, we…

In this paper, we prove the Lipschitz regularity of continuous harmonic maps from an finite dimensional Alexandrov space to a compact smooth Riemannian manifold. This solves a conjecture of F. H. Lin in \cite{lin97}. The proof extends the…

We introduce a class of proper differential graded algebras which we call Serre cyclotomic. They generalize fractionally Calabi-Yau algebras and categorify de la Pe\~na's algebras of cyclotomic type. Path algebras of affine type and…

A perverse schober is a categorification of a perverse sheaf proposed by Kapranov--Schechtman. In this paper, we construct examples of perverse schobers on the Riemann sphere, which categorify the intersection complexes of natural local…

$\Delta$-spaces have been defined by a natural generalization of a classical notion of $\Delta$-sets of reals to Tychonoff topological spaces; moreover, the class $\Delta$ of all $\Delta$-spaces consists precisely of those $X$ for which the…

In the setting of the multidimensional Mellin analysis we introduce moduli of continuity and use them to define Besov-Mellin spaces. We prove that Besov-Mellin spaces are the interpolation spaces (in the sense of J.Peetre) between two…

We define a notion of a symplectic structure on stratified spaces, and demonstrate that given a symplectic structure on a stratified space $X$ with integral cohomology class, $X$ can be symplectically embedded in some complex projective…

We prove that the morphisms from a minimal Sullivan algebra $\Lambda V$ to $A_{PL}(|\Lambda V|)$, the algebra of polynomial differential forms on its realization, can be quasi-isomorphic if and only if the cohomology $H(\Lambda V)$ is of…

As a continuation of [MY], we determine the topologies of collapsing three-dimensional compact Alexandrov spaces with nonempty boundary.

A classical theorem of Alexandroff states that every $n$-dimensional compactum $X$ contains an $n$-dimensional Cantor manifold. This theorem has a number of generalizations obtained by various authors. We consider extension-dimensional and…
