Assume that all spaces and maps are localised at a fixed prime $p$. We study the possibility of generating a universal space $U(X)$ from a space $X$ which is universal in the category of homotopy associative, homotopy commutative H-spaces…

A parametric version of Brouwer's Fixed Point Theorem, which is proven using the fixed-point index, states that for every continuous mapping $f : (X \times Y) \to Y$, where $X$ is nonempty, compact, and connected subset of a Hausdorff…

We prove that every isometry of between (not-necessarily orthogonal) summands of a unimodular quadratic space over a semiperfect ring can be extended an isometry of the whole quadratic space. The same result was proved by Reiter for the…

In this paper we define a new space, $LH(X,Y)$, consisting of functions $f\in X \subset Y$ (with $X,Y$ normed spaces) such that $\| f \|_X \equiv \| f \|_Y$ (where $\| \cdot \|_X$ is any norm on $X$, in general not the norm induced by $\|…

There is a complex conformal transformation, which maps the $D$ - dimensional real Minkowski space on a bounded set in the $D$ - dimensional complex vector space. It generalizes the Cayley map from $D=1$ dimensions to higher space-time…

In this paper we extend certain central results of zero dimensional systems to higher dimensions. The first main result shows that if (Y,f) is a finitely presented system, then there exists a Smale space (X,F) and a u-resolving factor map…

Let $M$ be an ANR space and $X$ be a homotopy dense subspace in $M$. Assume that $M$ admits a continuous binary operation $*:M\times M\to M$ such that for every $x,y\in M$ the inclusion $x*y\in X$ holds if and only if $x,y\in X$. Assume…

New singularity theorems are derived for generic warped-product spacetimes of any dimension. The main purpose is to analyze the stability of (compact or large) extra dimensions against dynamical perturbations. To that end, the base of the…

We embed the space of totally real $r$-cycles of a totally real projective variety into the space of complex $r$-cycles by complexification. We provide a proof of the holomorphic taffy argument in the proof of Lawson suspension theorem by…

Let $G/H$ be a $p$-adic symmetric space. We compute explicitly the higher relative extension groups for all discrete series representations of $G$ in two examples: the symplectic case and the linear case. The results have immediate…

Let D be a bounded, finitely connected domain in the complex plane without isolated points in the boundary and let f be a continuous function on the boundary bD. Let F be a continuous extension of f to the closure of D. We prove that f…

We show that there are homotopy equivalences $h:N\to M$ between closed manifolds which are induced by cell-like maps $p:N\to X$ and $q:M\to X$ but which are not homotopic to homeomorphisms. The phenomenon is based on construction of…

Motivated by work on the homotopy classification of $4$-manifolds with boundary, we define a relative $k$-invariant for pairs of spaces that are homotopy equivalent to CW pairs. We show that for such a pair $(X,Y)$ with Postnikov $2$-type…

A topological space is totally paracompact if any base of this space contains a locally finite subcover. We focus on a problem of Curtis whether in the class of regular Lindel\"of spaces total paracompactness is equivalent to the Menger…

It is shown that the existence of a biseparating map between a large class of spaces of vector-valued continuous functions A(X,E) and A(Y,F) implies that some compactifications of X and Y are homeomorphic. In some cases, conditions are…

Every holomorphic effective parabolic or reductive geometry on a domain over a Stein manifold extends uniquely to the envelope of holomorphy of the domain. This result completes the open problems of my earlier paper on extension of…

Let K be the function field of a connected regular scheme S of dimension 1, and let f : X -> Y be a finite cover of projective smooth and geometrically connected curves over K with g(X) greater or equal to 2. Suppose that f can be extended…

A central extension of the loop group of a Lie group is called transgressive, if it corresponds under transgression to a degree four class in the cohomology of the classifying space of the Lie group. Transgressive loop group extensions are…

Let K and L be compact convex sets in R^n. The following two statements are shown to be equivalent: (i) For every polytope Q inside K having at most n+1 vertices, L contains a translate of Q. (ii) L contains a translate of K. Let 1 <= d <=…

A topological space ${\mathcal X}$ is reversible iff each continuous bijection (condensation) $f: {\mathcal X} \rightarrow {\mathcal X}$ is a homeomorphism; weakly reversible iff whenever ${\mathcal Y}$ is a space and there are…
