Let $M$ be a cancellative commutative monoid and call a submonoid $S$ of $M$ an undermonoid if $\G(S)=\G(M)$ inside the Grothendieck group of $M$. Gotti and Li asked whether the finite factorization property is hereditary once it is known…

Let $p\in[1,\infty]$ and $F:\mathbf{Set}\to\mathbf{Set}$ be a functor with finite supports in the category $\mathbf{Set}$ of sets. Given a non-empty metric space $(X,d_X)$, we introduce the distance $d^p_{FX}$ on the functor-space $FX$ as…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0, and let $V$ be a finite-dimensional vector space. Let $End(V)$ be the semigroup of all polynomial endomorphisms of $V$. Let $E$ be a subset of $End(V)$ which is a linear subspace…

Let $f$ be a $C^r$ surface diffeomorphism with large entropy (more precisely, $h_{\rm top}(f)>\lambda_{\min}(f)/{r}$). Then the number of ergodic measures of maximal entropy is upper semicontinuous at $f$. This generalizes the $C^\infty$…

A topological monoid is isomorphic to an endomorphism monoid of a countable structure if and only if it is separable and has a compatible complete ultrametric such that composition from the left is non-expansive. We also give a topological…

It is proved that epimorphisms are surjective in a range of varieties of residuated structures, including all varieties of Heyting or Brouwerian algebras of finite depth, and all varieties consisting of Goedel algebras, relative Stone…

We prove a generalization of the fellow traveller property for a certain type of quasi-geodesics and use it to present three equivalent geometric formulations of the bounded reduction property and prove that it is equivalent to preservation…

A function $f:X\to Y$ between topological spaces is called {\em compact-preserving} if the image $f(K)$ of each compact subset $K\subset X$ is compact. We prove that a function $f:X\to Y$ defined on a strong Frechet space $X$ is…

We show that, for many holomorphic function spaces on the unit disk, a continuous endomorphism that sends inner functions to inner functions is necessarily a weighted composition operator.

We classify spectrum-preserving endomorphisms of stable continuous-trace C^*-algebras up to inner automorphism by a surjective multiplicative invariant taking values in finite dimensional vector bundles over the spectrum. Specializing to…

We consider convex sets and functions over idempotent semifields, like the max-plus semifield. We show that if $K$ is a conditionally complete idempotent semifield, with completion $\bar{K}$, a convex function $K^n\to\bar{K}$ which is lower…

Assume that $M$ is a c.t.m. of $ZFC+CH$ containing a simplified $(\omega_1,2)$-morass, $P\in M$ is the poset adding $\aleph_3$ generic reals and $G$ is $P$-generic over $M$. In $M$ we construct a function between sets of terms in the…

Based on an idea of Y. P\'eresse and some results of Maltcev, Mitchell and Ru\v{s}kuc, we present sufficient conditions under which the endomorphism monoid of a countably infinite ultrahomogeneous first-order structure has the Bergman…

On a one-sided shift of finite type we prove that for a generic Holder continuous function there is a unique maximizing measure. We show that b-Holder continuous functions can be approximated in the a-Holder topology, a<b, by a function…

Let $H$ be a polynomial automorphism of $\mathbb{C}^2$ of positive entropy and degree $d \ge 2$. We prove that the escaping set $U^+$ (or equivalently, the non-escaping set $K^+$), of $H$ is rigid under the action of holomorphic…

We say that a subring $R_0$ of a ring $R$ is semi-invariant if $R_0$ is the ring of invariants in $R$ under some set of ring endomorphisms of some ring containing $R$. We show that $R_0$ is semi-invariant if and only if there is a ring…

Equivalence relations or, more general, quasiorders (i.e., reflexive and transitive binary relations) $\rho$ have the property that an $n$-ary operation $f$ preserves $\rho$, i.e., $f$ is a polymorphism of $\rho$, if and only if each…

A function on an algebra is congruence preserving if, for any congruence, it maps congruent elements to congruent elements. We show that, on a free monoid generated by at least 3 letters, a function from the free monoid into itself is…

Let $E$ be a two-dimensional real normed space. In this paper we show that if the unit circle of $E$ does not contain any line segment such that the distance between its endpoints is greater than 1, then every transformation $\phi\colon…

Einstein-Maxwell theory is not only covariant under diffeomorphisms but also is under $U(1)$ gauge transformations. We introduce a combined transformation constructed out of diffeomorphism and $U(1)$ gauge transformation. We show that…
