A topology is defined on the mapping class group of a compact connected orientable surface. It is shown that a notion of "genericity" on subsets of the mapping class group arises from this definition. Many plausible results follow from this…
A topological monoid is isomorphic to an endomorphism monoid of a countable structure if and only if it is separable and has a compatible complete ultrametric such that composition from the left is non-expansive. We also give a topological…
A group-category is an additively semisimple category with a monoidal product structure in which the simple objects are invertible. For example in the category of representations of a group, 1-dimensional representations are the invertible…
Various spaces of symmetries of a structure are naturally endowed with both an algebraic and a topological structure. For example, the automorphism group of a structure is, on top of being a group, a topological group when equipped with the…
Some basic notions and results in Topological Dynamics are extended to continuous groupoid actions in topological spaces. We focus mainly on recurrence properties. Besides results that are analogous to the classical case of group actions,…
A typoid is a type equipped with an equivalence relation, such that the terms of equivalence between the terms of the type satisfy certain conditions, with respect to a given equivalence relation between them, that generalise the properties…
We introduce a notion of equivalence on tilings which is formulated in terms of their local structure. We compare it with the known concept of locally deriving one tiling from another and show that two tilings of finite type are…
We show that the fundamental groupoid~\(\Pi_1(X)\) of a locally path connected semilocally simply connected space~\(X\) can be equipped with a \emph{natural} topology so that it becomes a topological groupoid; we also justify the necessity…
In analogy with the classical theory of topological groups, for finitely complete categories enriched with Grothendieck topologies, we provide the concepts of localized G-topological space, initial Grothendieck topologies and continuous…
A group, defined as set with associative multiplication and inverse, is a natural structure describing the symmetry of a space. The concept of group generalizes to group objects internal to other categories than sets. But there are yet more…
We show that the topological full group of a Hausdorff ample groupoid with compact unit space coincides with the group of homotopy classes of invertible isometries in pseudofunction algebras associated with the groupoid. Moreover, if the…
The definition of the complement of a fuzzy subset is algebraic in nature and when it is used in the context of fuzzy topological spaces it does not share any similarity with the usual property of topological spaces that the complement of…
We show that the endomorphisms of a compact connected group that extend to endomorphisms of every compact overgroup are precisely the trivial one and the inner automorphisms; this is an analogue, for compact connected groups, of results due…
This paper gives an introduction to some results on monodromy groupoids and the monodromy principle, and then develops the notion of monodromy groupoid for group groupoids.
We consider a few types of bounded homomorphisms on a topological group. These classes of bounded homomorphisms are, in a sense, weaker than the class of continuous homomorphisms. We show that with appropriate topologies each class of these…
We introduce the notion of wide representation of an inverse semigroup and prove that with a suitably defined topology there is a space of germs of such a representation which has the structure of an etale groupoid. This gives an elegant…
In this paper, we show that every topological group is a strong small loop transfer space at the identity element. This implies that the quasitopological fundamental group of a connected locally path connected topological group is a…
In this paper we investigate some connections between Topological Dynamics, the theory of G-Principal Bundles, and the theory of Locally Trivial Groupoids.
The aim of this paper is to explain, mostly through examples, what groupoids are and how they describe symmetry. We will begin with elementary examples, with discrete symmetry, and end with examples in the differentiable setting which…
We study topological group theoretic properties of algebraic groups over local fields. In particular, we find conditions under which such groups have closed images under arbitrary continuous homomorphisms into arbitrary topological groups.
