Strongly zero-dimensional topological groups $G_1$, $G_2$, and $G$ such that $G_1\times G_2$ has positive covering dimension and $G$ contains a closed subgroup of positive covering dimension are constructed. Moreover, all finite powers of…
Two (strongly) zero-dimensional Lindel\"of topological groups whose product has positive covering dimension are constructed. An example of a Lindel\"of (strongly) zero-dimensional space whose free and free Abelian topological groups are not…
We study topologization of the semigroup $\mathscr{O\!\!I}\!_n(L)$ of finite partial order isomorphisms of a bounded rank of an infinite linear ordered set $(L,\leqslant)$. In particular we show that every $T_1$ left-topological…
In this note we show that every definably connected, definably compact abelian definable group in an o-minimal expansion of a real closed field of dimension not 4 is definably homeomorphic to a torus of the same dimension. Moreover, in the…
A natural topology on the space of left orderings of an arbitrary semi-group is introduced. It is proved that this space is compact and that for free abelian groups it is homeomorphic to the Cantor set. An application of this result is a…
We show that there are infinitely many nonisomorphic quandle structures on any topogical space $X$ of positive dimension. In particular, we disprove the conjecture, asserting that there are no nontrivial quandle structures on the closed…
Using elementary algebraic arguments, it is shown that $SU(2)^{m}:=SU(2)\times \cdots \times SU(2)$ ($m$ times) admits no left-invariant hypercomplex structures for all $m\ge 1$. This result answers (in a clear and easily accessible way)…
We show that on a totally disconnected compact metric space every separating homeomorphisms is expansive except at periodic points. We conclude that minimal separating homeomorphisms are expansive and that every separating homeomorphism has…
We prove existence of extension dimension for paracompact spaces. Here is the main result of the paper: \proclaim{Theorem} Suppose X is a paracompact space. There is a CW complex K such that {a.} K is an absolute extensor of X up to…
It is known that a definably compact group G is an extension of a compact Lie group L by a divisible torsion-free normal subgroup. We show that the o-minimal higher homotopy groups of G are isomorphic to the corresponding higher homotopy…
We show that for any connected smooth manifold $M$ of dimension different from $3$ the restriction of the compact-open topology to the diffeomorphism group of $M$ is minimal, i.e. the group does not admit a strictly coarser Hausdorff group…
We show that for a compact surface without boundary $M$ the set of cw-expansive homeomorphisms is dense in the set of all the homeomorphisms of $M$ with respect to the $C^0$ topology. After this we show that for a generic homeomorphism $f$…
Let L be a countable and locally finite CW complex. Suppose that the class of all metrizable compacta of extension dimension not greater than L contains a universal element which is an absolute extensor in dimension L. Our main result shows…
We show that if there exists a topologically expansive homeomorphism on a uniform space, then the space is always a regular space. Through examples we show that in general composition of topologically expansive homeomorphisms need not be…
For several instances of metric largeness like enlargeability or having hyperspherical universal covers, we construct non-large vector subspaces in the rational homology of finitely generated groups. The functorial properties of this…
It is shown that the hyperspace of all nonempty closed subsets $\Cld_{AW}(X)$ of a separable metric space $X$ endowed with the Attouch-Wets topology is homeomorphic to a separable Hilbert space if and only if the completion of $X$ is…
We prove several structural results on definably compact groups G in o-minimal expansions of real closed fields, such as (i) G is definably an almost direct product of a semisimple group and a commutative group, and (ii) the group (G, .) is…
In each manifold $M$ modeled on a finite or infinite dimensional cube $[0,1]^n$ we construct a closed nowhere dense subset $S\subset M$ (called a spongy set) which is a universal nowhere dense set in $M$ in the sense that for each nowhere…
A well-known fact is that there does not exist any compatible left-symmetric structures on a finite-dimensional complex semisimple Lie algebra (see \cite{Chu1974}). This result is not valid in semisimple Lie superalgebra case. In this…
