The locations of massive stars (> 8 Msun) within their host galaxies is reviewed. These range from distributed OB associations to dense star clusters within giant HII regions. A comparison between massive stars and the environments of…

The aim of this note is to complement and extend some recent results on Whitley's indices of thinness and thickness in three main directions. Firstly, we investigate both the indices when forming $\ell_p$-sums of Banach spaces, and obtain…

We say that a Tychonoff space $X$ is a $\kappa$-space if it is homeomorphic to a closed subspace of $C_p(Y)$ for some locally compact space $Y$. The class of $\kappa$-spaces is strictly between the class of Dieudonn\'{e} complete spaces and…

We prove the following results: (i) Every absolutely weakly compact set in a Banach lattice is absolutely weakly sequentially compact. (ii) The converse of (i) holds if $E$ is separable or $B_{E^{**}}$ is absolutely weak$^*$ compact. (iii)…

We use a natural forcing to construct a left-separated topology on an arbitrary cardinal kappa. The resulting left-separated space X_kappa is also 0-dimensional T_2, hereditarily Lindelof, and countably tight. Moreover if kappa is regular…

We identify all the weak sequential limits of smooth maps in $W^{1,2}(M,N)$. In particular, this implies a necessary and sufficient topological condition for smooth maps to be weakly sequentially dense in $W^{1,2}(M,N)$.

Let $X$ be a Banach space and $\mu$ a probability measure. A set $K \subseteq L^1(\mu,X)$ is said to be a $\delta\mathcal{S}$-set if it is uniformly integrable and for every $\delta>0$ there is a weakly compact set $W \subseteq X$ such that…

We investigate star-covering properties of $\Psi$-like spaces. We show star-Lindel\"ofness is reflected by open perfect mappings. In addition, we offer a new equivalence of CH.

We prove that, under CH, any space with a regular $G_\delta$-diagonal and caliber $\omega_1$ is separable; a corollary of this result answers, under CH, a question of Buzyakova. For any Urysohn space $X$, we establish the inequality $|X|\le…

A sequence $\{f_n\}$ of strongly-measurable functions taking values in a Banach space $\X$ is scalarly null a\.e\. (resp. scalarly null in measure) if $x^*f_n \rightarrow0$ a\.e\. (resp. $x^*f_n \rightarrow 0$ in measure) for every $x^*\in…

Any unital separable continuous C(X)-algebra with properly infinite fibres is properly infinite as soon as the compact Hausdorff space X has finite topolog-ical dimension. We study conditions under which this is still the case if the…

Stars are powerful sources for weakly interacting particles that are produced by nuclear or plasma processes in their hot interior. These fluxes can be used for direct measurements (e.g. solar or supernova neutrinos) or the back-reaction on…

A random vector ${\bf X}$ is weakly stable iff for all $a,b \in \mathbb{R}$ there exists a random variable $\Theta$ such that $a{\bf X} + b {\bf X}' \stackrel{d}{=} {\bf X} \Theta$, where $X'$ is an independent copy of $X$ and $\Theta$ is…

Any unital separable continuous C(X)-algebra with properly infinite fibres is properly infinite as soon as the compact Hausdorff space X has finite topological dimension. We study conditions under which this is still the case in the…

We examine the class of weakly porous sets in Euclidean spaces. As our first main result we show that the distance weight $w(x)=\operatorname{dist}(x,E)^{-\alpha}$ belongs to the Muckenhoupt class $A_1$, for some $\alpha>0$, if and only if…

A compact space is said to be weakly Radon-Nikod\'ym if it is homeomorphic to a weak*-compact subset of the dual of a Banach space not containing an isomorphic copy of $\ell_1$. In this work we provide an example of a continuous image of a…

First we prove that if a separable Banach space $X$ contains an isometric copy of an infinite-dimensional space $A(S)$ of affine continuous functions on a Choquet simplex $S$, then its dual $X^*$ lacks the weak$^*$ fixed point property for…

A theorem of Glasner says that if $X$ is an infinite subset of the torus $\mathbb{T}$, then for any $\epsilon>0$, there exists an integer $n$ such that the dilation $nX=\{nx: x \in \mathbb{T} \}$ is $\epsilon$-dense (i.e, it intersects any…

We prove that hereditarily Lindel\"of space which is $F_{\sigma\delta}$ in some compactification is absolutely $F_{\sigma\delta}$. In particular, this implies that any separable Banach space is absolutely $F_{\sigma\delta}$ when equipped…

Some low surface brightness galaxies are known to have extremely thin stellar disks with the vertical to planar axes ratio 0.1 or less, often referred to as superthin disks. Although their existence is known for over three decades, the…
