The following is an open problem in topology: Determine whether the Stone-\v{C}ech compactification of a widely-connected space is necessarily an indecomposable continuum. Herein we describe properties of $X$ that are necessary and…

In this paper we investigate more characterizations and applications of $\delta$-strongly compact cardinals. We show that, for a cardinal $\kappa$ the following are equivalent: (1) $\kappa$ is $\delta$-strongly compact, (2) For every…

We consider a continuous analogue of Babai et al.'s and Cai et al.'s problem of solving multiplicative matrix equations. Given $k+1$ square matrices $A_{1}, \ldots, A_{k}, C$, all of the same dimension, whose entries are real algebraic, we…

Recall that a topological space is said to be a $k_\omega$-space if it is the direct limit of an ascending sequence of compact Hausdorff topological spaces. If each point in a Hausdorff space $X$ has an open neighbourhood which is a…

Let $X$ and $Y$ be topological spaces. Let $C$ be a path-connected closed set of $X\times Y$. Suppose that $C$ is locally direct product, that is, for any $(a,b)\in X\times Y$, there exist an open set $U$ of $X$, an open set $V$ of $Y$, a…

For every finite closure space $X$ one can define a finite topological space $\operatorname{Top} X$ together with a natural projection $\operatorname{Top} X\longrightarrow X$. This could allow to apply the techniques of topological…

We study metric invariants of Riemannian manifolds $X$ defined via the $\mathbb T^\rtimes$-stabilized scalar curvatures of manifolds $Y$ mapped to $X$ and prove in some cases additivity of these invariants under Riemannian products…

Let $f:X\to Y$ be an algebraic fiber space with general fiber $F$. If $Y$ is of maximal Albanese dimension, we show that $\kappa (X)\geq \kappa (Y)+\kappa (F)$.

We study conditions on closed sets $C,F \subset \mathbb{R}$ making the product $C \times F$ removable or non-removable for $W^{1,p}$. The main results show that the Hausdorff-dimension of the smaller dimensional component $C$ determines a…

Let $\Delta$ be a spherical building each of whose irreducible components is infinite, has rank at least 2 and satisfies the Moufang condition. We show that $\Delta$ can be given the structure of a topological building that is compact and…

For a compactification $\alpha X$ of a Tychonoff space $X$, the algebra of all functions $f\in C(X)$ that are continuously extendable over $% \alpha X$ is denoted by $C_{\alpha}(X)$. It is shown that, in a model of $\textbf{ZF}$, it may…

The present paper improves a result of V. Gutev and T. Nogura (1999) showing that a space $X$ is topologically well-orderable if and only if there exists a selection for $\mathcal{F}_2(X)$ which is continuous with respect to the Fell…

We show that if $X$ is a separable locally compact Hausdorff connected space with fewer than $\mathfrak c$ non-cut points, then $X$ embeds into a dendrite $D\subseteq \mathbb R ^2$, and the set of non-cut points of $X$ is a nowhere dense…

We prove the formula \begin{equation*} \text{cat}_G(X\vee Y)=\max\{\text{cat}_G(X),\text{cat}_G(Y)\} \end{equation*} for the equivariant category of the wedge $X\vee Y$. As a direct application, we have that the wedge $\bigvee_{i=1}^m X_i$…

It is known that there exists an explicit function $F$ in $L^2(\Omega)$, where $\Omega$ is a given bounded open subset of $\mathbb{R}^N$, such that the corresponding weak solution of the Laplace BVP $-\Delta u=F(x)$, $u\in H_0^1(\Omega)$,…

Let $M^2_{g,k}$ and $M^2_{g',k'}$ be compact Riemann surfaces with punctures ($g,g'\ge 0$ - genuses, $k,k'\ge 1$ - number of punctures). For any Hausdorff space $X$ the quotient space $\mathrm{Sym}^nX := X^n/S_n$ is the $n$-th symmetric…

A special case of the satisfiability problem, in which the clauses have a hierarchical structure, is shown to be solvable in linear time, assuming that the clauses have been represented in a convenient way.

If kappa is strongly compact, lambda > kappa is regular, then (2^{< lambda})^+ --> (lambda+eta)^2_theta holds for eta,theta<kappa.

Suppose $\kappa$ is a singular strong limit cardinal of countable cofinality and let $\langle \kappa_{n}: n<\omega \rangle$ be an incrasing sequence of regular cardinals cofinal in $\kappa$. We show that if $cf(2^\kappa)= \kappa^+$, then…

Let $X$ be a smooth compact complex surface subject to the following conditions: (i) the canonical line bundle $\mathcal{O}_X(K_X) $ is very ample, (ii) the irregularity $q(X): = h^1(\mathcal{O}_X) =0$, (iii) $X$ contains no rational normal…
