Let X be a real normed vector space and dim X \ge 2. Let d>0 be a fixed real number. We prove that if x,y \in X and ||x-y||/d is a rational number then there exists a finite set {x,y} \subseteq S(x,y) \subseteq X with the following…

It is shown that each continuous transformation $h$ from Euclidean $m$-space ($m>1$) into Euclidean $n$-space that preserves the equality of distances (that is, fulfils the implication $|x-y|=|z-w|\Rightarrow|h(x)-h(y)|=|h(z)-h(w)|$) is a…

For any positive definite rational quadratic form $q$ of $n$ variables let $G(\mathbb{Q}^n, q)$ denote the graph with vertices $\mathbb{Q}^n$ and $x, y \in \mathbb{Q}^n$ connected iff $q(x - y) = 1$. This notion generalises standard…

Let $S_{n}$ denote the space of all $n \times n$ real symmetric matrices. For n=2 or n>2 we characterize maps F from $S_{n}$ to $S_{m}$ which preserve adjacency, i.e. if rank(A-B)=1, then rank(F(A)-F(B))=1.

The purpose of this article is to show uniqueness theorems for meromorphic mappings of C^m to CP^n with few hyperplanes H_j, j=1,...,q. It is well known that uniqueness theorems hold for q \geq 3n+2. In this paper we show that for every…

We study a pinned variant of Bourgain's theorem, concerning the occurrence of affine copies of $k$-point patterns in $\mathbb{R}^d$. Focusing on the case $k=2$, which corresponds to pinned distances, we show that the classical conclusion…

For any $d\in \mathbb{N}$ and any function $f:(0,\infty)\to [0,1]$ with $f(R)\to 0$ as $R\to \infty$, we construct a set $A \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$ and a sequence $R_n \to \infty$ such that $\|x-y\| \neq R_n$ for all $x,y\in A$ and…

We study the existence of fixed points for continuous maps $f$ from an $n$-ball $X$ in $\mathbb R^n$ to $\mathbb R^n$ with $n\geq 1$. We show that $f$ has a fixed point if, for some absolute retract $Y\subset\partial X$, $f(Y)\subset X$ and…
