The gauge group of a principal $G$-bundle $P$ over a space $X$ is the group of $G$-equivariant homeomorphisms of $P$ that cover the identity on $X$. We consider the gauge groups of bundles over $S^4$ with $\mathrm{Spin}^c(n)$, the complex…

We investigate the properties of digital homotopy in the context of digital pictures $(X,\kappa,\bar \kappa)$, where $X\subsetneq \Z^n$ is a finite set, $\kappa$ is an adjacency relation on $X$, and $\bar \kappa$ is an adjacency relation on…

We show that every non-degenerate homogeneous plane continuum is homeomorphic to either the unit circle, the pseudo-arc, or the circle of pseudo-arcs. It follows that any planar homogenous compactum has the form $X \times Z$, where $X$ is a…

A datatset $X$ on $R^2$ is a finite topological space. Current research of a dataset focuses on statistical methods and the algebraic topological method \cite{carlsson}. In \cite{hu}, the concept of typed topological space was introduced…

In this paper, we prove the following version of the famous Bernstein's theorem: Let $X\subset \mathbb R^{n+k}$ be a closed and connected set with Hausdorff dimension $n$. Assume that $X$ satisfies the monotonicity formula at $p\in X$.…

We study the fixed point theory of n-valued maps of a space X using the fixed point theory of maps between X and its configuration spaces. We give some general results to decide whether an n-valued map can be deformed to a fixed point free…

Let $X$ be a closed oriented connected topological manifold of dimension $n\geq 5$. The structure group of $X$ is the abelian group of equivalence classes of all pairs $(f, M)$ such that $M$ is a closed oriented manifold and $f\colon M \to…

Let $X$ be a compact toric variety. Let $Hol$ denote the space of based holomorphic maps from $CP^1$ to $X$ which lie in a fixed homotopy class. Let $Map$ denote the corresponding space of continuous maps. We show that $Hol$ has the same…

On a Peano continuum, all local stable and unstable components of a continuum-wise expansive homeomorphism are non trivial. In particular, there is sensitive dependence on initial conditions. This generalizes results in \cite{h,l} about…

We discuss homotopy properties of endpoint maps for affine control systems. We prove that these maps are Hurewicz fibrations with respect to some $W^{1,p}$ topology on the space of trajectories, for a certain $p>1$. We study critical points…

In this survey we catalogue the many results of the past several decades concerning bounds on the cardinality of a topological space with homogeneous or homogeneous-like properties. These results include van Douwen's Theorem, which states…

We study the rational homotopy of the moduli space ${\mathcal N}_X$ of stable vector bundles of rank two and fixed determinant of odd degree over a compact connected Riemann surface $X$ of genus $g\geq 2$. The symplectic group…

The main goal of this article is to construct some geometric invariants for the topology of the set $\mathcal{F}$ of flat connections on a principal $G$-bundle $P\,\longrightarrow\, M$. Although the characteristic classes of principal…

Let $X_{\pi}$ be the subspace of fixed vectors for a uniformly bounded representation $\pi$ of a group $G$ on a Banach space $X$. We study the problem of the existence and uniqueness of a subspace $Y$ that complements $X_{\pi}$ in $X$.…

We construct a space $\mathbb{P}$ for which the canonical homomorphism $\pi_1(\mathbb{P},p) \rightarrow \check{\pi}_1(\mathbb{P},p)$ from the fundamental group to the first \v{C}ech homotopy group is not injective, although it has all of…

We classify all $\pi_1$-injective proper maps between non-compact surfaces up to proper homotopy.

Let $M$ be an $n$-dimensional compact connected manifold with boundary, $\kappa>0$ a constant and $1\leq q\leq n-1$ an integer. We prove that $M$ supports a Riemannian metric with the interior $q$-curvature $K_q\geq -q\kappa^2$ and the…

We characterize those planar Peano continua that are homotopy equivalent to 1-dimensional sets. While many planar Peano continua are not homotopically 1-dimensional, we prove that each has fundamental group that embeds in the fundamental…

We introduce the notion of tight homomorphism into a locally compact group with nonvanishing bounded cohomology and study these homomorphisms in detail when the target is a Lie group of Hermitian type. Tight homomorphisms between Lie groups…

An w-limit set of a continuous self-mapping of a compact metric space X is said to be totally periodic if all of its points are periodic. We say that X has the w-FTP property provided that for each continuous self-mapping f of X, every…
