For every $n \geq 1$, let $(\mathrm{FW}_n)$ denote the fixed-point property for median graphs of cubical dimension $n$ (or equivalently, for CAT(0) cube complexes of dimension $n$). In this article, we construct explicit examples of groups…

It is known that for $X$ a nowhere locally compact metric space, the set of bounded continuous, nowhere locally uniformly continuous real-valued functions on $X$ contains a dense $G_\delta$ set in the space $C_b(X)$ of all bounded…

For a continuous map f on a compact metric space (X,d), a subset D of X is internally chain transitive if for every x and y in D and every delta > 0 there is a sequence of points {x=x_0,x_1, ...,x_n=y} such that d(f(x_i),x_{i+1}) < delta…

A long-standing question in the theory of measures of noncompactness is that for the Kuratowski measure of noncompactness $\alpha$ defined on a metric space $M$, and for every bounded subset $B\subset M$, is there a countable subset…

A set A of natural numbers is finitely embeddable in another such set B if every finite subset of A has a rightward translate that is a subset of B. This notion of finite embeddability arose in combinatorial number theory, but in this paper…

We prove that for arbitrary two finitely generated subgroups A and B having infinite index in a free group F, there is a subgroup H of finite index in B such that the subgroup generated by A and H has infinite index in F. The main corollary…

For a topological space $X$ its reflection in a class $\mathsf T$ of topological spaces is a pair $(\mathsf T X,i_X)$ consisting of a space $\mathsf T X\in\mathsf T$ and continuous map $i_X:X\to \mathsf T X$ such that for any continuous map…

In a finite group, a subset is called a Lagrange subset if its size divides the group order, and a factor if it admits a complementary subset. We provide a new and comparatively direct proof of the classification of groups in which every…

The \theta-closed hull of a set A in a topological space is the smallest set C containing A such that, whenever all $closed$ neighborhoods of a point intersect C, this point is in C. We define a new topological cardinal invariant function,…

Every topological group $G$ has some natural compactifications which can be a useful tool of studying $G$. We discuss the following constructions: (1) the greatest ambit $S(G)$ is the compactification corresponding to the algebra of all…

We study groups of homeomorphic bijections on spaces that are finite unions of compact connected linearly ordered subsets. We prove that all such groups when endowed with the topology of point-wise convergence are topological groups. }

Given an infinite group G, we consider the finitely additive measure defined on finite unions of cosets of finite index subgroups. We show that this shares many properties with the size of subsets of a finite group, for instance we can…

A discrete subset $S$ of a topological group $G$ is called a {\it suitable set} for $G$ if $S\cup \{e\}$ is closed in $G$ and the subgroup generated by $S$ is dense in $G$, where $e$ is the identity element of $G$. In this paper, the…

We say that a subset $S$ of an infinite group $G$ is a Ramsey-product subset if, for any infinite subsets $X$, $Y$ of $G$, there exist $x \in X$ and $y\in Y$ such that $x y \in S$ and $ y x \in S$ . We show that the family $\varphi$ of all…

We discuss the decomposability of torsion-free abelian groups. We show that among computable groups of finite rank this property is $\Sigma^0_3$-complete. However, when we consider groups of infinite rank, it becomes $\Sigma^1_1$-complete,…

Given a real inner product space $V$ and a group $G$ of linear isometries, we construct a family of $G$-invariant real-valued functions on $V$ that we call max filters. In the case where $V=\mathbb{R}^d$ and $G$ is finite, a suitable max…

Given a set $X$, the group $\mathrm{Sym}(X)$ consists of all bijections from $X$ to $X$, and $\mathrm{FSym}(X)$ is the subgroup of maps with finite support i.e. those that move only finitely many points in $X$. We describe the automorphism…

Consider the self-map F of the space of real-valued test functions on the line which takes a test function f to the test function sending a real number x to f(f(x))-f(0). We show that F is discontinuous, although its restriction to the…

Let $\mathbb{G}$ be a compact Hausdorff group acting on a compact Hausdorff space $X$, $\alpha$ an irreducible $\mathbb{G}$-representation, and $C(X)$ the $C^*$-algebra of complex-valued continuous functions on $X$. We prove that the…

We investigate the structure of $\omega$-limit (resp. $\alpha$-limit) sets for a monotone map $f$ on a regular curve $X$. %Let $X$ be a regular curve and let $f: X\longrightarrowX$ be a monotone map. We show that for any $x\in X$ (resp. for…
