Let C(K) be the Banach space of all continuous functions on a given compact space K. We investigate the w*-sequential closure in C(K)* of the set of all finitely supported probabilities on K. We discuss the coincidence of the Baire…

If $g$ is a map from a space $X$ into $\mathbb R^m$ and $z\not\in g(X)$, let $P_{2,1,m}(g,z)$ be the set of all lines $\Pi^1\subset\mathbb R^m$ containing $z$ such that $|g^{-1}(\Pi^1)|\geq 2$. We prove that for any $n$-dimensional metric…

A proof using the theory of completely positive maps is given to the fact that if $A \in M_2$, or $A \in M_3$ has a reducing eigenvalue, then every bounded linear operator $B$ with $W(B) \subseteq W(A)$ has a dilation of the form $I \otimes…

A topological space is said to be cardinality homogeneous if every nonempty open subset has the same cardinality as the space itself. Let $X$ and $Y$ be cardinality homogeneous metric spaces of the same cardinality. If there exists a…

Liouville's theorem says that in dimension greater than two, all conformal maps are M\"obius transformations. We prove an analogous statement about simplicial complexes, where two simplicial complexes are considered discretely conformally…

Let $X$ and $Y$ be finite complexes. When $Y$ is a nilpotent space, it has a rationalization $Y \to Y_{(0)}$ which is well-understood. Early on it was found that the induced map $[X,Y] \to [X,Y_{(0)}]$ on sets of mapping classes is…

For every space $X$ let $\mathcal K(X)$ be the set of all compact subsets of $X$. Christensen \cite{c:74} proved that if $X, Y$ are separable metrizable spaces and $F\colon\mathcal{K}(X)\to\mathcal{K}(Y)$ is a monotone map such that any…

The classification of the nilpotent Jacobians with some structure has been an object of study because of its relationship with the Jacobian Conjecture. In this paper we classify the polynomial maps in dimension $n$ of the form $H = (u(x,y),…

Countably infinite groups (with a fixed underlying set) constitute a Polish space $G$ with a suitable metric, hence the Baire category theorem holds in $G$. We study isomorphism invariant subsets of $G$, which we call group properties. We…

A topological space $Y$ is said to have (AEEP) if the following condition is fulfilled. Whenever $(X,\mathfrak{M})$ is a measurable space and $f, g: X \to Y$ are two measurable functions, then the set $\Delta(f,g) = \{x \in X:\ f(x) =…

We study mappings differentiable almost everywhere, possessing the $N$-Luzin property, the $ N^{\,-1}$-property on the spheres with respect to the $(n-1)$-dimensional Hausdorff measure and such that the image of the set where its Jacobian…

We completely characterize the validity of the inequality $\|u\|_{Y(\mathbb{R}^n)}\leq C \|\nabla^m u\|_{X(\mathbb{R}^n)}$, where $X$ and $Y$ are rearrangement-invariant spaces, by reducing it to a considerably simpler one-dimensional…

It is shown that for any Baire space $X$, linearly ordered compact $Y$ and separately continuous mapping $f:X\times Y\to\mathbb R$ there exists a dense in $X$ $G_\delta$-set $A\subseteq X$ such that $f$ is jointly continuous at every point…

Let $f\colon X\to Y$ be a perfect map between finite-dimensional metrizable spaces and $p\geq 1$. It is shown that the space $C^*(X,\R^p)$ of all bounded maps from $X$ into $\R^p$ with the source limitation topology contains a dense…

For metric spaces $X$ and $Y$, normed spaces $E$ and $F$, and certain subspaces $A(X,E)$ and $A(Y,F)$ of vector-valued continuous functions, we obtain a complete characterization of linear and bijective maps $T:A(X,E)\to A(Y,F)$ preserving…

Let $\varphi\colon X\to Y$ be an affine continuous surjection between compact convex sets. Suppose that the canonical copy of the space of real-valued affine continuous functions on $Y$ in the space of real-valued affine continuous…

We propose the notion of countable decomposability of maps on C*-algebras: a bounded linear map $\varphi : \mathscr{A}\to B(\mathcal{H})$, where $\mathscr{A}$ is a C*-algebra and $\mathcal{H}$ a Hilbert space, will be called countably…

Jacobian conjectures (that nonsingular implies invertible) for rational everywhere defined maps of real n-space to itself are considered, with no requirement for a constant Jacobian determinant or a rational inverse. The associated…

Let $X$ be a real Banach space and let $Y \subseteq X^*$ be a linear subspace having the Orlicz-Thomas property, that is, for each $\sigma$-algebra $\Sigma$ and for each map $\nu:\Sigma\to X$, the countable additivity of the composition…

A problem of completing a linear map on C*-algebras to a completely positive map is analyzed. It is shown that whenever such a completion is feasible there exists a unique minimal completion. This theorem is used to show that under some…
