A topological space is called P_2 ( P_3, P_{<omega} ) if and only if it does not contain two (three, finitely many) uncountable open sets with empty intersection. We show that (i) there are 0-dimensional P_{<omega} spaces of size 2^omega,…
We prove that the space $\mathcal{H}_\infty$ of framed infinite volume hyperbolic $3$-manifolds is connected but not path connected. Two proofs of connectivity of this space, which is equipped with the geometric topology, are given, each…
Topological Ramsey spaces are spaces which support infinite dimensional Ramsey theory similarly to the Ellentuck space. Each topological Ramsey space is endowed with a partial ordering which can be modified to a $\sigma$-closed `almost…
A locally compact stable plane of positive topological dimension will be called semiaffine if for every line $L$ and every point $p$ not in $L$ there is at most one line passing through $p$ and disjoint from $L$. We show that then the plane…
For continuous self-maps of compact metric spaces, we explore the relationship among the shadowable points, sensitive points, and entropy points. Specifically, we show that (1) if the set of shadowable points is dense in the phase space,…
Many concrete problems are formulated in terms of a finite set of points in $R^n$ which, via the ambient Euclidean metric, becomes a finite metric space. To obtain information from such a space, it is often useful to associate a graph to…
Field theories compactified on non-simply connected spaces, which in general allow to impose twisted boundary conditions, are found to unexpectedly have a rich phase structure. One of characteristic features of such theories is the…
Cianci and Ottina proved that a homotopically trivial non-contractible finite $T_0$-space cannot have fewer than nine points and classified all such spaces with exactly nine points. The present paper completes the classification for spaces…
We introduce the notion of echeloned spaces - an order-theoretic abstraction of metric spaces. The first step is to characterize metrizable echeloned spaces. It turns out that morphisms between metrizable echeloned spaces are uniformly…
The rank-three tensor models, which have a rank-three tensor as their only dynamical variable, may be interpreted as models of dynamical fuzzy spaces. In this interpretation, the generalized Hermiticity condition on the rank-three tensor…
Poisson structures vanishing linearly on a set of smooth closed disjoint curves are generic in the set of all Poisson structures on a compact connected oriented surface. We construct a complete set of invariants classifying these structures…
Let $G$ be a connected Lie group acting locally simply transitively on a manifold $M$. By connecting curves in $M$ we mean the orbits of one-parameter subgroups of $G$. To block a pair of points $m_1,m_2\in M$ is to find a finite set…
We define shadowable points for homeomorphism on metric spaces. In the compact case we will prove the following results: The set of shadowable points is invariant, possibly nonempty or noncompact. A homeomorphism has the pseudo-orbit…
The topological complexity of a path-connected space $X,$ denoted $TC(X),$ can be thought of as the minimum number of continuous rules needed to describe how to move from one point in $X$ to another. The space $X$ is often interpreted as a…
Recent developments in ergodic theory, additive combinatorics, higher order Fourier analysis and number theory give a central role to a class of algebraic structures called nilmanifolds. In the present paper we continue a program started by…
The space of directions is a notion of boundary associated to an arbitrary totally disconnected locally compact group. We explicitly calculate the space of directions of a group acting vertex transitively with compact open vertex…
The Chabauty space of a topological group is the set of its closed subgroups, endowed with a natural topology. As soon as $n>2$, the Chabauty space of $R^n$ has a rather intricate topology and is not a manifold. By an investigation of its…
This paper characterizes which subsets of C^n can be the set of positions of n points on a linkage in the complex plane C. For example, assuming compactness they are just compact semialgebraic sets. Noncompact configuration spaces are…
Presented is a wonderful compactification of n distinct labeled points in X away from D, where X is a nonsingular variety and D is a nonsingular proper subvariety. When D is empty, it is the Fulton-MacPherson configuration space.
P. Alexandroff proved that a locally compact $T_2$-space has a $T_2$ one-point compactification (obtained by adding a "point at infinity") if and only if it is non-compact. He also asked for characterizations of spaces which have one-point…
