A topological space $X$ is cometrizable if it admits a weaker metrizable topology such that each point $x\in X$ has a (not necessarily open) neighborhood base consisting of metrically closed sets. We study the relation of cometrizable…
A metric space $(M, d)$ is said to be universal for a class of metric spaces if all metric spaces in the class can be isometrically embedded into $(M, d)$. In this paper, for a metrizable space $Z$ possessing abundant subspaces, we first…
We extend the framework of combinatorial model categories, so that the category of small presheaves over large indexing categories and ind-categories would be embraced by the new machinery called class-combinatorial model categories. The…
In this paper we introduce the notion of a relative volutive (higher) category, specializing to the notion of a lax volutive (higher) category. Our primary motivation to study these objects is the following: while any rigid symmetric…
Many of the properties of sectional category, topological complexity and homotopic distance are in fact derived from a small number of basic properties, which, once established, lead to all the others without further recourse to topology.…
We introduce continuous Frobenius categories. These are topological categories which are constructed using representations of the circle over a discrete valuation ring. We show that they are Krull-Schmidt with one indecomposable object for…
It is known that the topology of a Polish group is uniquely determined by its Borel structure and group operations, but this does not give us a way to find the topology. In this article we expand on this theorem and give a criterion for a…
The definition of an S-category is proposed by weakening the axioms of a Q-category introduced by Kontsevich and Rosenberg. Examples of Q- and S-categories and (co)smooth objects in such categories are given.
We introduce a notion of categorical homotopic distance between functors by adapting the notion of homotopic distance in topological spaces, recently defined by the authors to the context of small categories. Moreover, this notion…
We define and study a natural category of graph limits. The objects are pairs $(\pi,\mu)$, where $\pi$ (the distribution of vertices) is an abstract probability measure on some abstract measurable space $(X,\mathcal{A})$ and $\mu$ (the…
When a topological group $G$ acts on a compact space $X$, its enveloping semigroup $E(X)$ is the closure of the set of $g$-translations, $g\in G$, in the compact space $X^X$. Assume that $X$ is metrizable. It has recently been shown by the…
A.V.Arkhangel'skii asked in 1981 if the variety $\mathfrak V$ of topological groups generated by free topological groups on metrizable spaces coincides with the class of all topological groups. We show that if there exists a real-valued…
``An orbifold is a space which is locally modeled on the quotient of a vector space by a finite group.'' This sentence is so easily said or written that more than one person has missed some of the subtleties hidden by orbifolds. Orbifolds…
we prove that if $X$ is a locally compact $\sigma$-compact space then on its quotient, $\gamma(X)$ say, determined by the algebra of all real valued bounded continuous functions on $X$, the quotient topology and the completely regular…
For a metrizable space $X$ of density $\kappa$, let $PM(X)$ be the space of continuous bounded pseudometrics on $X$ endowed with the uniform convergence topology. In this paper, its topology shall be classified as follows: (i) If $X$ is…
We define the notion of {\em classifying space} of a topological stack and show that every topological stack \X has a classifying space X which is a topological space well-defined up to weak homotopy equivalence. Under a certain…
We construct classifying spaces for discrete and compact Lie groups, with the property that they are topological groups and complete metric spaces in a natural way. We sketch a program in view of extending these constructions.
Magnitude is a numerical invariant of metric spaces introduced by Leinster, motivated by considerations from category theory. This paper extends the original definition for finite spaces to compact spaces, in an equivalent but more natural…
We define a new version of Topological Complexity (TC) of a space, denoted as $\text{dTC}$, which, we think, fits better for motion planning for some autonomous systems. Like Topological complexity, \text{dTC} is also a homotopy invariant.…
For a Tychonoff space $X$, we denote by $C_k(X)$ the space of all real-valued continuous functions on X with the compact-open topology. In this paper, we have gave characterization for $C_k(X)$ to satisfy $S_{fin}(S, S)$.
