We study the L-series of cubic fourfolds. Our main result is that, if X/C is a special cubic fourfold associated to some polarized K3 surface $S$, defined over a number field K such that S^[2](K) is not empty, then X has a model over K such…

Consider the space $R_{\Delta}$ of rational functions of several variables with poles on a fixed arrangement $\Delta$ of hyperplanes. We obtain a decomposition of $R_{\Delta}$ as a module over the ring of differential operators with…

We discuss examples of non-commutative spaces over non-archimedean fields. Those include non-commutative and quantum affinoid algebras, quantized K3 surfaces and quantized locally analytic p-adic groups.

In this note we study the structure of Lipschitz-free Banach spaces. We show that every Lipschitz-free Banach space over an infinite metric space contains a complemented copy of $\ell_1$. This result has many consequences for the structure…

In this survey, my aim has been to discuss the use of sequences and countable sets in general topology. In this way I have been led to consider five different classes of topological spaces: first countable spaces, sequential spaces, Frechet…

The special case of closed subsets of C^n is briefly discussed.

We deal with a conjectured dichotomy for compact Hausdorff spaces: each such space contains a non-trivial converging omega-sequence or a non-trivial converging omega_1-sequence. We establish that this dichotomy holds in a variety of models;…

We answer a question of Downey and Kurtz on left-orderable groups by showing that there is a computable left-orderable group which is not classically isomorphic to a computable group with a computable left-order.

Lindel\"of spaces are studied in any basic Topology course. However, there are other interesting covering properties with similar behaviour, such as almost Lindel\"of, weakly Lindel\"of, and quasi-Lindel\"of, that have been considered in…

We show that, for Finsler spaces with cubic metric, Landsberg spaces are Berwaldian. Also, for decomposable metrics, we determine specific conditions for a space with cubic metric to be of Berwald type, thus refining the result in [6].

A Hausdorff topological space X is van der Waerden if for every sequence (x_n)_n in X there is a converging subsequence (x_n)_{n in A} where subset A of omega contains arithmetic progressions of all finite lengths. A Hausdorff topological…

Let k be a field and q a non-zero element of k. In Part I, we have exhibited a 6-dimensional k-algebra A = A(q) and we have shown that if q has infinite multiplicative order, then A has a 3-dimensional local module which is…

We investigate singular Finsler foliations (SFFs) on a manifold equipped with an $(\alpha,\beta)$-metric. To be precise, we verify that any SFF of an $(\alpha,\beta)$-space is, under some hypotheses on the metric, a singular Riemannian…

We demonstrate that the set $L^\infty(X, [-1,1])$ of all measurable functions over a Borel measure space $(X, \mathcal B, \mu )$ with values in the unit interval is typically non-polyhedric when interpreted as a subset of a dual space. Our…

The Heisenberg groups are examples of sub-Riemannian manifolds homeomorphic, but not diffeomorphic to the Euclidean space. Their metric is derived from curves which are only allowed to move in so-called horizontal directions. We report on…

In the present paper, we consider two different {\em Finsler} structures $L$ and $L^*$ on the same base manifold $M$, with no relation preassumed between them. \par Introducing the $\pi$-tensor field representing the difference between the…

This article has been withdrawn in 2013. The class of LOTS (linearly ordered topological spaces) contains many important spaces, like the set of real numbers, the set of rational numbers and the ordinals. Such spaces have rich topological…

Let $X$ be a compact metric space. By $2^X$ we denote the hyperspace of all closed and non-empty subsets of $X$ endowed with the Hausdorff metric. Let $f:X\to X$ be a continuous function. In this paper we study some topological properties…

If $Q$ is a surjection from $L^1(\mu)$, $\mu$ $\sigma$-finite, onto a Banach space containing $c_0$ then (*) $\ker Q$ is uncomplemented in its second dual. If $Q$ is a surjection from an ${\cal L}_1$-space onto a Banach space containing…

It is consistent with MA plus not CH that there is a locally connected hereditarily Lindelof compact space which is not metrizable.
