Our main result states that the hyperspace of convex compact subsets of a compact convex subset $X$ in a locally convex space is an absolute retract if and only if $X$ is an absolute retract of weight $\le\omega_1$. It is also proved that…
We provide a ZFC example of a compact space K such that C(K)* is w*-separable but its closed unit ball is not w*-separable. All previous examples of such kind had been constructed under CH. We also discuss the measurability of the supremum…
Intermediate rings of real valued continuous functions with countable range on a Hausdorff zero-dimensional space $X$ are introduced in this article. Let $\Sigma_c(X)$ be the family of all such intermediate rings $A_c(X)$'s which lie…
Theories of classification distinguish classes with some good structure theorem from those for which none is possible. Some classes (dense linear orders, for instance) are non-classifiable in general, but are classifiable when we consider…
We show that the centred Hausdorff measure, $C^{s}(S),$ with $s=\frac{\log3}{\log2},$ of the Sierpinski gasket $S$, is $C$-computable (continuous-computable), in the sense that its value is the solution of the minimisation problem of a…
We introduce C-Algebras of compact Riemann surfaces $\Sigma$ as non-commutative analogues of the Poisson algebra of smooth functions on $\Sigma$. Representations of these algebras give rise to sequences of matrix-algebras for which…
It is proved that no region of a homogeneous locally compact, locally connected metric space can be cut by an $F_\sigma$-subset of a "smaller" dimension. The result applies to different finite or infinite topological dimensions of…
We study the degree spectra and reverse-mathematical applications of computably enumerable and co-computably enumerable partial orders. We formulate versions of the chain/antichain principle and ascending/descending sequence principle for…
We give an example of a unital C*-algebra $\mathbf{A}$ with a computable presentation and for which neither $K_0(\mathbf{A})$ nor $K_1(\mathbf{A})$ has a computable presentation.
We say that two classes of topological spaces are equivalent if each member of one class has a homeomorphic copy in the other class and vice versa. Usually when the Borel complexity of a class of metrizable compacta is considered, the class…
It is shown that there is a computable conformal map of the unit disk onto a domain $D$ that has a computable extension to the closure of the unit disk even though the boundary of $D$ is not effectively locally connected. The proof encodes…
Given uniformly homeomorphic metric spaces $X$ and $Y$, it is proved that the hyperspaces $C(X)$ and $C(Y)$ are uniformly homeomorphic, where $C(X)$ denotes the collection of all nonempty closed subsets of $X$, and is endowed with Hausdorff…
We show that the set $SCL^{rp}$ of stable commutator lengths on recursively presented groups equals the set of non-negative right-computable numbers. Hence all non-negative algebraic or computable numbers are in $SCL^{rp}$ and $SCL^{rp}$ is…
In this paper we study the notion of Salem set from the point of view of descriptive set theory. We first work in the hyperspace $\mathbf{K}([0,1])$ of compact subsets of $[0,1]$ and show that the closed Salem sets form a…
We show that there are Turing complete computably enumerable sets of arbitrarily low non-trivial initial segment prefix-free complexity. In particular, given any computably enumerable set $A$ with non-trivial prefix-free initial segment…
We show that closed subsets of the character variety of a complex variety with negatively weighted homology, which are $p$-adically integral and Galois invariant, are motivic. Final version: Cambridge Journal of Mathematics
Let $X\subset \mathbb{C}^n; Y\subset \mathbb{C}^m$ be closed affine varieties and let $\phi: X\to Y$ be an algebraic bi-Lipschitz homeomorphism. Then ${\rm deg}\ X={\rm deg}\ Y.$ Similarly, let $(X,0)\subset (\mathbb{C}^n,0), (Y,0)\subset…
We study `definable' subsets of Baire space $\mathcal{N}$. The logic of our arguments is intuitionistic and we use L.E.J.~Brouwer's Thesis on bars in $\mathcal{N}$ and his continuity axioms. We avoid the operation of taking the complement…
We study expansive homeomorphisms of a compact metric space $X$ through the lens of the commutative $C^*$-algebra $C(X)$ of continuous complex-valued functions, viewed as observables of the system. We introduce the notion of expansive…
For an infinite cardinal $\kappa$ let $\ell_2(\kappa)$ be the linear hull of the standard othonormal base of the Hilbert space $\ell_2(\kappa)$ of density $\kappa$. We prove that a non-separable convex subset $X$ of density $\kappa$ in a…
