We show that if no $m$-plane contains almost all of an $m$-rectifiable set $E \subset \R^{n}$, then there exists a single $(m - 1)$-plane $V$ such that the radial projection of $E$ has positive $m$-dimensional measure from every point…
Given a covering f: X \to Y of projective manifolds, we consider the vector bundle E on Y given as the dual of f_*(\O_X) / \O_Y. This vector bundles often has positivity properties, e.g. E is ample when Y is projective space by a theorem of…
If $X$ is compact metrizable and has finite fd-height then the unit interval, $I$, $\ell$-dominates $X$, in other words, there is a continuous linear map of $C_p(I)$ onto $C_p(X)$. If the unit interval $\ell$-dominates a space $X$ then $X$…
We extend the classical Schubert calculus of enumerative geometry for the Grassmann variety of lines in projective space from the complex realm to the real. Specifically, given any collection of Schubert conditions on lines in projective…
We present a necessary and sufficient condition for the topological equivalence of a continuous function on a plane to a projection onto one of coordinates.
Stasheff showed that if a map between H-spaces is an H-map, then the suspension of the map is extendable to a map between cprojective planes of the H-spaces. Stahseff also proved the converse under the assumption that the multiplication of…
Spaces in the genus of infinite quaternionic projective space which admit essential maps from infinite complex projective space are classified. In these cases the sets of homotopy classes of maps are described explicitly. These results…
It is well-known that every planar or projective planar graph can be 3-colored so that each color class induces a forest. This bound is sharp. In this paper, we show that there are in fact exponentially many 3-colorings of this kind for any…
Totally invariant divisors of endomorphisms of the projective space are expected to be always unions of linear spaces. Using logarithmic differentials we establish a lower bound for the degree of the non-normal locus of a totally invariant…
Given a compact, metric space X, we show that the commutative C*-algebra C(X) is semiprojective if and only if X is an absolute neighborhood retract of dimension at most one. This confirms a conjecture of Blackadar. Generalizing to the…
We show that a metric space $X$ that, at every point, has a Gromov-Hausdorff tangent with the splitting property (i.e. every geodesic line splits off a factor $\mathbb{R}$), is universally infinitesimally Hilbertian (i.e. $W^{1,2}(X,\mu)$…
We prove that an affine cone $X$ admits a surjective morphism from an affine space if and only if $X$ is unirational.
It is shown that moduli spaces of complete families of compact complex hypersurfaces in complex manifolds often come equipped canonically with projective structures satisfying some natural integrability conditions.
All spaces below are Tychonov. We define the projective pi-character p(X) of a space X as the supremum of the values $\pi\chi(Y)$ where Y ranges over all continuous images of X. Our main result says that every space X has a pi-base whose…
We prove that every geometrically reduced projective variety of pure dimension n over a field of positive characteristic admits a morphism to projective n-space, etale away from the hyperplane H at infinity, which maps a chosen divisor into…
In this paper we show that if X is an infinite compactum cleavable over an ordinal, then X must be homeomorphic to an ordinal. X must also therefore be a LOTS. This answers two fundamental questions in the area of cleavability. We also…
The aim of this paper is twofold. First of all, we confirm a few basic criteria of the finiteness of real forms of a given smooth complex projective variety, in terms of the Galois cohomology set of the discrete part of the automorphism…
For every complete toric variety, there exists a projective toric variety which is isomorphic to it in codimension one. In this paper, we show that every smooth non-projective complete toric threefold of Picard number at most five becomes…
Every homomorphism of modules is projective-stably equivalent to an epimorphism but is not always to a monomorphism. We prove that a map is projective-stably equivalent to a monomorphism if and only if its kernel is torsionless, that is, a…
If there exists a completely bounded projection of B(H) onto a von Neumann algebra M on H, then M is injective. If there exists a bounded projection and M is properly infinite, the same conclusion holds.
