The paper is devoted to study the $n$th Hawaiian group $\mathcal{H}_n$, $n \ge 1$, of the wedge sum of two spaces $(X,x_*) = (X_1, x_1) \vee (X_2, x_2)$. Indeed, we are going to give some versions of the van Kampen theorem for Hawaiian…

By generalizing the whisker topology on the $n$th homotopy group of pointed space $(X, x_0)$, denoted by $\pi_n^{wh}(X, x_0)$, we show that $\pi_n^{wh}(X, x_0)$ is a topological group if $n \ge 2$. Also, we present some necessary and…

We consider certain groups of tree automorphisms as so-called diffeological groups. The notion of diffeology, due to Souriau, allows to endow non-manifold topological spaces, such as regular trees that we look at, with a kind of a…

Elements of the Riordan group $\cal R$ over a field $\mathbb F$ of characteristic zero are infinite lower triangular matrices which are defined in terms of pairs of formal power series. We wish to bring to the forefront, as a tool in the…

Let K be an Abstract Elementary Class. Under the asusmptions that K has a nicely behaved forking-like notion, regular types and existence of some prime models we establish a decomposition theorem for such classes. The decomposition implies…

Recently, Cochran and Harvey defined torsion-free derived series of groups and proved an injectivity theorem on the associated torsion-free quotients. We show that there is a universal construction which extends such an injectivity theorem…

We prove the Weinstein conjecture for non-trivial contact connected sums under either of two topological conditions: non-trivial fundamental group or torsion-free homology.

Suppose that S is a left amenable semitopological semigroup. We prove that if ${T_{t}: t \in S}$ is a uniformly k-Lipschitzian semigroup on a bounded closed and convex subset C of a Hilbert space and $k<\sqrt{2}$, then the set of fixed…

The notion of a Hopf module over a Hopf (co)quasigroup is introduced and a version of the fundamental theorem for Hopf (co)quasigroups is proven.

We introduce and analyse a general notion of fundamental group for noncommutative spaces, described by differential graded algebras. For this we consider connections on finitely generated projective bimodules over differential graded…

Characteristic properties of corings with a grouplike element are analysed. Associated differential graded rings are studied. A correspondence between categories of comodules and flat connections is established. A generalisation of the…

A survey of the applications of the noncommutative Cohn localization of rings to the topology of manifolds with infinite fundamental group, with particular emphasis on the algebraic K- and L-theory of generalized free products.

We show that if a sequence $M_n$ of closed aspherical $d$-dimensional Riemannian manifolds with Ricci curvature uniformly bounded below and diameter uniformly bounded above collapses, then for all large enough $n$, the fundamental groups…

We construct a space $\mathbb{P}$ for which the canonical homomorphism $\pi_1(\mathbb{P},p) \rightarrow \check{\pi}_1(\mathbb{P},p)$ from the fundamental group to the first \v{C}ech homotopy group is not injective, although it has all of…

In this paper we will refine Sacksteder's theorem for groups of orientation-preserving homeomorphisms of the circle in the case that there exists a finite orbit set. We will give a categorization of the topological possibilities for the…

In proper homotopy theory, the original concept of point used in the classical homotopy theory of topological spaces is generalized in order to obtain homotopy groups that study the infinite of the spaces. This idea: "Using any arbitrary…

We prove a general divisibility theorem that implies, e.g., that, in any group, the number of generating pairs (as well as triples, etc.) is a multiple of the order of the commutator subgroup. Another corollary says that, in any associative…

One important class of tools in the study of the connections between algebraic and topological structures are the "Banach-Stone type theorems", which describe algebraic isomorphisms of algebras (or groups, lattices, etc.) of functions in…

We prove a homological stability theorem for families of discrete groups (e.g. mapping class groups, automorphism groups of free groups, braid groups) with coefficients in a sequence of irreducible algebraic representations of arithmetic…

The analogue of Goldie's Theorem for prime rings is proved for rings graded by abelian groups, eliminating unnecessary additional hypotheses used in earlier versions.
