We introduce a homotopy theory of digraphs (directed graphs) and prove its basic properties, including the relations to the homology theory of digraphs constructed by the authors in previous papers. In particular, we prove the homotopy…

A series of recent papers by Bergfalk, Lupini and Panagiotopoulus developed the foundations of a field known as `definable algebraic topology,' in which classical cohomological invariants are enriched by viewing them as groups with a Polish…

This thesis investigates the central role of homomorphism problems (structure-preserving maps) in two complementary domains: database querying over finite, graph-shaped data, and constraint solving over (potentially infinite) structures.…

A map is given showing that convolutions of independent random variables over a finite group and matrix multiplications of doubly stochastic matrices are homomorphic. As an application, a short proof is given to the theorem that the…

Let $G$ and $H$ be locally compact groups and consider their associate spaces of almost periodic functions $AP(G)$ and $AP(H)$. We investigate the continuous group homomorphisms induced by isometries of $AP(G)$ into $AP(H)$. Among others,…

Motivated by constructions in topological data analysis and algebraic combinatorics, we study homotopy theory on the category of Cech closure spaces $\mathbf{Cl}$, the category whose objects are sets endowed with a Cech closure operator and…

We describe the development of the theory of automatic groups. We begin with a historical introduction, define the concepts of automatic, biautomatic and combable groups, derive basic properties, then explain how hyperbolic groups and the…

Working in the framework of Borel reducibility, we study various notions of embeddability between groups. We prove that the embeddability between countable groups, the topological embeddability between (discrete) Polish groups, and the…

This paper presents a discrete homotopy theory and a discrete homology theory for finite posets. In particular, the discrete and classical homotopy groups of finite posets are always isomorphic. Moreover, this discrete homology theory is…

Symmetric homology is an analog of cyclic homology in which the cyclic groups are replaced by symmetric groups. The foundations for the theory of symmetric homology of algebras are developed in the context of crossed simplicial groups using…

We prove that the automorphism group of the Urysohn diversity is a universal Polish group. Furthermore we show that the automorphism group of the rational Urysohn diversity has ample generics, a dense conjugacy class and that it embeds…

Separately continuous bihomomorphisms on a product of convergence or topological groups occur with great frequency. Of course, in general, these need not be jointly continuous. In this paper, we exhibit some results of Banach-Steinhaus type…

Given a locally compact Polish space X, a necessary and sufficient condition for a group G of homeomorphisms of X to be the full isometry group of (X,d) for some proper metric d on X is given. It is shown that every locally compact Polish…

In this paper, we study groups of automorphisms of algebraic systems over a set of $p$-adic integers with different sets of arithmetic and coordinate-wise logical operations and congruence relations modulo $p^k,$ $k\ge 1.$ The main result…

The paper deals with the program of determining the complexity of various homeomorphism relations. The homeomorphism relation on compact Polish spaces is known to be reducible to an orbit equivalence relation of a continuous Polish group…

We investigate fixed point properties for isometric actions of topological groups on a wide class of metric spaces, with a particular emphasis on Hilbert spaces. Instead of requiring the action to be continuous, we assume that it is…

This article is devoted to investigations of a structure and homomorphisms of microbundles. Microbundles are generalizations of manifolds. For manifolds it was studied when their families of homomorphism can be supplied with the manifold…

Any abstract (not necessarily continuous) group automorphism of a simple, compact Lie group must be continuous due to Cartan (1930) and van der Waerden (1933). The purpose of this paper is to study a similar question in nilpotent Lie…

We discuss some finite homogeneous structures, addressing the question of universality of their automorphism groups. We also study the existence of so-called Kat\v{e}tov functors in finite categories of embeddings or homomorphisms.

We study the rational homotopy types of classifying spaces of automorphism groups of smooth simply connected manifolds of dimension at least five. We give dg Lie algebra models for the homotopy automorphisms and the block diffeomorphisms of…
