In this paper we examine two basic topological properties of partial metric spaces, namely compactness and completeness. Our main result claims that in these spaces compactness is equivalent to sequential compactness. We also show that…

We give a criterion for group elements to have fixed points with respect to a semi-simple action on a complete CAT(0) space of finite topological dimension. As an application, we show that Thompson's group T and various generalizations of…

Let $X$ be a metric space and $BCl(X)$ the collection of nonempty bounded closed subsets of $X$ as a metric space with respect to Hausdorff distance. We study both characterization and representation of Lipschitz paths in $BCl(X)$ in terms…

A homogeneous Riemannian space $(M= G/H,g)$ is called a geodesic orbit space (shortly, GO-space) if any geodesic is an orbit of one-parameter subgroup of the isometry group $G$. We study the structure of compact GO-spaces and give some…

This paper gives some relating results for various concepts of convexity in metric spaces such as midpoint convexity, convex structure, uniform convexity and near-uniform convexity, Busemann curvature and its relation to convexity. Some…

In this paper we develop the theory of Artin-Wraith glueings for topological spaces. As an application, we show that some categories of compactifications of coarse spaces that agree with the coarse structures are invariant under coarse…

In this work we characterize those shift spaces which can support a 1-block quasi-group operation and show the analogous of Kitchens result: any such shift is conjugated to a product of a full shift with a finite shift. Moreover, we prove…

Let $M$ be a complete Riemannian manifold. Suppose $M$ contains a bounded, concave, connected open set $U$ with $C^0$ boundary and $M\setminus U$ is connected. We assume that either the relative homotopy set $\pi_1(M,M\setminus U)=0$ or the…

We study Finsler PL spaces, that is simplicial complexes glued out of simplices cut off from some normed spaces. We are interested in the class of Finsler PL spaces featuring local uniqueness of geodesics (for complexes made of Euclidean…

We establish necessary and sufficient conditions guaranteeing compactness of embeddings of fractional Sobolev spaces, Besov spaces, and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces, in the general context of quasi-metric-measure spaces. Although stated in the…

It is shown that the space of null geodesics of a star-shaped causally simple subset of Minkowski space is contactomorphic to the canonical contact structure in the spherical cotangent bundle of $\mathbb{R}^n$. In the $3$-dimensional case…

In this note we prove the a pointwise ergodic theorem for functions taking values in a separable complete CAT(0)-space, analogous to Lindenstrauss' pointwise ergodic theorem for real-valued integrable functions on a probability space…

In this paper we study geodesic Ptolemy metric spaces $X$ which allow proper and cocompact isometric actions of crystallographic or, more generally, virtual polycyclic groups. We show that $X$ is equivariantly rough isometric to a Euclidean…

Often it is possible to equip the space of all cone geodesics of a strongly convex cone structure with the structure of a smooth contact manifold. This generalizes the analogous notions for the space of light rays of a Lorentzian spacetime.…

We introduce the notion of k-lower divergence for geodesic rays in CAT(0) spaces. Building on the work of Charney and Sultan we give various characterizations of k-contracting geodesic rays using k-lower divergence and k-slim triangles. We…

We prove the Nagata compactification theorem for any separated map of finite type between quasi-compact and quasi-separated algebraic spaces, generalizing earlier results of Raoult. Along the way we also prove (and use) absolute noetherian…

We prove that, under mild hypothesis, every normal algebraic space which satisfies the $1$-resolution property is quasi-affine. More generally, we show that for algebraic stacks satisfying similar hypotheses, the 1-resolution property…

The intimate relationship between coherent states and geodesics is pointed out. For homogenous manifolds on which the exponential from the Lie algebra to the Lie group equals the geodesic exponential, and in particular for symmetric spaces,…

It is well known that in compact local Lipschitz neighborhood retracts in Euclidean space flat convergence for integer rectifiable currents amounts just to weak convergence. In the present paper we extend this result to integral currents in…

It is shown that the Cuntz semigroup of a space with dimension at most two, and with second cohomology of its compact subsets equal to zero, is isomorphic to the ordered semigroup of lower semicontinuous functions on the space with values…
