We show that pseudovarieties of finitely generated algebras, i.e., classes $C$ of finitely generated algebras closed under finite products, homomorphic images, and subalgebras, can be described via a uniform structure $U$ on the free…
Motivated by results of J. R. Kline and R. L. Moore (1919) that a compact subset of the plane, homeomorphic to a subset of the reals, lies on the arc, we give a purely topological characterisation of compact sets of the reals. This allows…
We show that the homeomorphism group of a surface without boundary does not admit a Hausdorff group topology strictly coarser than the compact-open topology. In combination with known automatic continuity results, this implies that the…
Wright showed that, if a 1-ended simply connected locally compact ANR Y with pro-monomorphic fundamental group at infinity admits a proper Z-action, then that fundamental group at infinity can be represented by an inverse sequence of…
This paper constructs a continuous decomposition of the Sierpi\'nski curve into acyclic continua one of which is an arc. This decomposition is then used to construct another continuous decomposition of the Sierpi\'nski curve. The resulting…
Let G be a locally compact, Hausdorff groupoid in which s is a local homeomorphism and the unit space is totally disconnected. Assume there is a continuous cocycle c from G into a discrete group $\Gamma$. We show that the collection A(G) of…
We enhance the approximation capabilities of algebraic polynomials by composing them with homeomorphisms. This composition yields families of functions that remain dense in the space of continuous functions, while enabling more accurate…
For a Poisson manifold $M$ we develop systematic methods to compute its Picard group $Pic(M)$, i.e., its group of self Morita equivalences. We establish a precise relationship between $Pic(M)$ and the group of gauge transformations up to…
In this paper, we prove that each injective simplicial map of the arc complex of a compact, connected, orientable surface with nonempty boundary is induced by a homeomorphism of the surface. We deduce, from this result, that the group of…
We present new computational results for symplectic monodromy groups of hypergeometric differential equations. In particular, we compute the arithmetic closure of each group, sometimes justifying arithmeticity. The results are obtained by…
We study analogues of Cartan decompositions of Lie groups for totally disconnected locally compact groups. It is shown using these decompositions that a large class of totally disconnected locally compact groups acting on trees and…
Let $U$ be an open relatively compact subanalytic subset of a real analytic manifold. We show that there exists a finite linear covering (in the sense of Guillermou and Schapira) of $U$ by subanalytic open subsets of $U$ homeomorphic to a…
The main result of this paper is that the identity component of the automorphism group of a compact, connected, strictly pseudoconvex CR manifold is compact unless the manifold is CR equivalent to the standard sphere. In dimensions greater…
A Tychonoff space $X$ is called $\kappa$-pseudocompact if for every continuous mapping $f$ of $X$ into $\mathbb{R}^\kappa$ the image $f(X)$ is compact. This notion generalizes pseudocompactness and gives a stratification of spaces lying…
This memoir is concerned with the generic dynamical properties of conservative homeomorphisms of compact manifolds. Several important techniques allowing to prove genericity results are presented: we emphasize the important role played by…
Finite-sheeted covering mappings onto compact connected groups are studied. It is shown that a finite-sheeted covering mapping from a connected Hausdorff topological space onto a compact connected abelian group G must be a homeomorphism…
A homeomorphism of a compact metric space is {\em tight} provided every non-degenerate compact connected (not necessarily invariant) subset carries positive entropy. It is shown that every $C^{1+\alpha}$ diffeomorphism of a closed surface…
We investigate the mapping class group of an orientable $\omega$-bounded surface. Such a surface splits, by Nyikos's Bagpipe Theorem, into a union of a bag (a compact surface with boundary) and finitely many long pipes. The subgroup…
In this paper, we define (reduced) homeology groups and (reduced) cohomeology groups on finite simpicial complexes and prove that these groups are PL homeomorphsm invariants of polyhedra, while they are not homotopy invariants. So these…
We show that the topology of uniform convergence on bounded sets is compatible with the group law of the automorphism group of a large class of spaces that are endowed with both a uniform structure and a bornology, thus yielding numerous…
