We prove that for any nondegenerate dendrite $D$ there exist topologically mixing maps $F : D \to D$ and $f : [0, 1] \to [0, 1]$, such that the natural extensions (aka shift homeomorphisms) $\sigma_F$ and $\sigma_f$ are conjugate, and…

Let $\alpha: G\curvearrowright X$ be a minimal free continuous action of an infinite countable amenable group on an infinite compact metrizable space. In this paper, under the hypothesis that the invariant ergodic probability Borel measure…

A topological group $G$ is extremely amenable if every continuous action of $G$ on a compact space has a fixed point. Using the concentration of measure techniques developed by Gromov and Milman, we prove that the group of automorphisms of…

We show that for every countable group, any sequence of approximate homomorphisms with values in permutations can be realized as the restriction of a sofic approximation of an orbit equivalence relation. Moreover, this orbit equivalence…

A compact space $X$ is said to be minimal if there exists a map $f:X\to X$ such that the forward orbit of any point is dense in $X$. We consider rigid minimal spaces, motivated by recent results of Downarowicz, Snoha, and Tywoniuk [J. Dyn.…

We investigate a relations of almost isometric embedding and almost isometry between metric spaces and prove that with respect to these relations: (1) There is a countable universal metric space. (2) There may exist fewer than continuum…

In this article we prove the topological minimality of unions of several almost orthogonal planes of arbitrary dimensions. A particular case was proved in arXiv:1103.1468, where we proved the Almgren minimality (which is a weaker property…

The Hausdorff distance, the Gromov-Hausdorff, the Fr\'echet and the natural pseudo-distances are instances of dissimilarity measures widely used in shape comparison. We show that they share the property of being defined as $\inf_\rho…

Two structures $M, N$ in the same language are called probably isomorphic if they (or, in case of metric structures, their completions) are isomorphic after forcing with the Lebesgue measure algebra. We show that, if $M$ and $N$ are…

We determine the exact complexity of classifying compact metric spaces up to homeomorphism. More precisely, the homeomorphism relation on compact metric spaces is Borel bi-reducible with the complete orbit equivalence relation of Polish…

Let $X, Y$ be separable metrizable spaces, where $X$ is noncompact and $Y$ is equipped with an admissible complete metric $d$. We show that the space $C(X,Y)$ of continuous maps from $X$ into $Y$ equipped with the uniform topology is…

It is shown that the existence of a biseparating map between a large class of spaces of vector-valued continuous functions A(X,E) and A(Y,F) implies that some compactifications of X and Y are homeomorphic. In some cases, conditions are…

We show that for a compact surface without boundary $M$ the set of cw-expansive homeomorphisms is dense in the set of all the homeomorphisms of $M$ with respect to the $C^0$ topology. After this we show that for a generic homeomorphism $f$…

We discuss when a unital homomorphism {\phi} : C(X) \rightarrow A can be approximated by finite-dimensional homomorphisms, where X is a compact metric space and A is unital simple C*-algebra with tracial rank one. In this paper, we will…

We investigate certain geometric properties of the spaces of idempotent measures. In particular, we prove that the space of idempotent measures on an infinite compact metric space is homeomorphic to the Hilbert cube.

We introduce and study the operation, called dense amalgam, which to any tuple X_1,...,X_k of non-empty compact metric spaces associates some disconnected perfect compact metric space, denoted $\widetilde\sqcup(X_1,...,X_k)$, in which there…

Let $(X, \mathscr{L}, \lambda)$ and $(Y, \mathscr{M}, \mu)$ be finite measure spaces for which there exist $A \in \mathscr{L}$ and $B \in \mathscr{M}$ with either $0 < \lambda(A) < 1 < \lambda(X)$ and $0 < \mu(B) < \mu(Y)$, or the other way…

We show that continuous group homomorphisms between unitary groups of unital C*-algebras induce maps between spaces of continuous real-valued affine functions on the trace simplices. Under certain $K$-theoretic regularity conditions, these…

We prove that on a metrizable, compact, zero-dimensional space every free action of an amenable group is measurably isomorphic to a minimal $G$-action with the same, i.e. affinely homeomorphic, simplex of measures.

For $C^*$-algebras $A_1, A_2$ the map $(I_1,I_2)\to ker(q_{I_1}\otimes q_{I_2})$ from $Id^{\prime}(A_1)\times Id^{\prime}(A_2)$ into $Id^{\prime}(A_1\otimes_{\mathrm{min}} A_2) is a homeomorphism onto its image which is dense in the range.…
