In this article, we are interested in metric spaces that satisfy a weak non-positive curvature condition in the sense that they admit a conical geodesic bicombing. We show that the analog of a question of Gromov about compactness properties…

Our main result states that the hyperspace of convex compact subsets of a compact convex subset $X$ in a locally convex space is an absolute retract if and only if $X$ is an absolute retract of weight $\le\omega_1$. It is also proved that…

In the last years, there has been a large amount of research on embeddability properties of finitely generated hyperbolic groups. In this paper, we elaborate on the more general class of locally compact hyperbolic groups. We compute the…

A topological group is (openly) almost-elliptic if it contains a(n open) dense subset of elements generating relatively-compact cyclic subgroups. We classify the (openly) almost-elliptic connected locally compact groups as precisely those…

We prove that if $K$ is a compact subset of an affine variety O = P^n - D (where D is a projective hypersuface), and if K is a compact subset of a closed analytic subvariety V \subset O, then the projective hull K^ of K has the property…

Given two measurable functions $V(r)\geq 0$ and $K(r)> 0$, $r>0$, we define the weighted spaces \[ H_V^1 = \{u \in D^{1,2}(\mathbb{R}^N): \int_{\mathbb{R}^N}V(|x|)u^{2}dx < \infty \}, \quad L_K^q = L^q(\mathbb{R}^N,K(|x|)dx) \] and study…

We show that the space of expanding maps contains an open and dense set where smooth conjugacy classes of expanding maps are determined by the values of the Jacobians of return maps at periodic points.

We present an alternative proof of the following fact: the hyperspace of compact closed subsets of constant width in $\mathbb R^n$ is a contractible Hilbert cube manifold. The proof also works for certain subspaces of compact convex sets of…

If $G$ is a complex simply connected semisimple algebraic group and if $\lambda$ is a dominant weight, we consider the compactification $X_\lambda$ in the projectivisation of $\End(V(\lambda))$ obtained as the closure of the $G\times…

An $\omega_1$-compact space is a space in which every closed discrete subspace is countable. We give various general conditions under which a locally compact, $\omega_1$-compact space is $\sigma$-countably compact, i.e., the union of…

We prove that for k an uncountable cardinal, there exist 2^k many non homeomorphic weakly compact convex subsets of weight k in the Hilbert space of density k.

By definition, the sharp packing index $\ind_P^\sharp(A)$ of a subset $A$ of an abelian group $G$ is the smallest cardinal $\kappa$ such that for any subset $B\subset G$ of size $|B|\ge\kappa$ the family $\{b+A:b\in B\}$ is not disjoint. We…

A locally compact group $G$ is compact if and only if $L^1(G)$ is an ideal in $L^1(G)^{**}$, and the Fourier algebra $A(G)$ of $G$ is an ideal in $A(G)^{**}$ if and only if $G$ is discrete. On the other hand, $G$ is discrete if and only if…

For an infinite cardinal $\kappa$ let $\ell_2(\kappa)$ be the linear hull of the standard othonormal base of the Hilbert space $\ell_2(\kappa)$ of density $\kappa$. We prove that a non-separable convex subset $X$ of density $\kappa$ in a…

Peterzil and Steinhorn proved that if a group $G$ definable in an $o$-minimal structure is not definably compact, then $G$ contains a definable torsion-free subgroup of dimension one. We prove here a $p$-adic analogue of the…

It is shown that, assuming the Continuum Hypothesis, compact Hausdorff space of weight at most $\mathfrak{c}$ is a remainder in a soft compactification of $\mathbb{N}$. We also exhibit an example of a compact space of weight $\aleph_1$ --…

In this paper, we establish the rigidity result for local holomorphic volume preserving maps from an irreducible Hermitian manifold of compact type into its Cartesian products.

Let $\Gamma<\mathrm{PSL}_2(\mathbb{C})\simeq \mathrm{Isom}^+(\mathbb{H}^3)$ be a finitely generated non-Fuchsian Kleinian group whose ordinary set $\Omega=\mathbb{S}^2-\Lambda$ has at least two components. Let $\rho : \Gamma \to…

We prove that there is a second countable locally compact group that does not embed as a closed subgroup in any compactly generated locally compact group, and discuss various related embedding and non-embedding results.

(1) Every infinite, Abelian compact (Hausdorff) group K admits 2^|K|-many dense, non-Haar-measurable subgroups of cardinality |K|. When K is nonmetrizable, these may be chosen to be pseudocompact. (2) Every infinite Abelian group G admits a…
