For $d\ge 1$, we construct a compact subset $K\subseteq \mathbb {R}^{d+1}$ containing a $d$-sphere of every radius between $1$ and $2$, such that for every $\delta\in (0,1)$, the $\delta$-neighbourhood of $K$ has Lebesgue measure $\lesssim…

Let $CLB_H(X)$ denote the hyperspace of closed bounded subsets of a metric space $X$, endowed with the Hausdorff metric topology. We prove, among others, that natural dense subspaces of $CLB_H(R^m)$ of all nowhere dense closed sets, of all…

Let $K\subset R^n$ be a compact basic semi-algebraic set. We provide a necessary and sufficient condition (with no a priori bounding parameter) for a real sequence $y=(y_\alpha)$, $\alpha\in N^n$, to have a finite representing Borel measure…

We prove a formula relating the Hausdorff dimension of a deterministic Borel subset of $\mathbb R$ and the Hausdorff dimension of its image under a conformal map from the upper half-plane to a complementary connected component of an…

We define spin structures on perfect complexes outside of characteristic two, generalizing the usual notion for vector bundles. We give an explicit local characterization of spin structures, and show that for an oriented quadratic complex…

A general position map $f:K\to M$ of a $k$-dimensional simplicial complex to a $2k$-dimensional manifold (for $k=1$, of a graph to a surface) is a $\mathbb Z_2$-embedding if $|f\sigma \cap f\tau|$ is even for any non-adjacent $k$-faces…

For all $n \geq 2$, we construct a metric space $(X,d)$ and a quasisymmetric mapping $f\colon [0,1]^n \rightarrow X$ with the property that $f^{-1}$ is not absolutely continuous with respect to the Hausdorff $n$-measure on $X$. That is,…

Recently, L.Rozansky and E.Witten (hep-th/9612216) associated to any hyperKaehler manifold X a system of "weights" (numbers, one for each trivalent graph) and used them to construct invariants of topological 3-manifolds. We give a very…

In this paper, we show that there are a totally ordered compact K separable (K is Rosenthal compact set), a Hausdorff topology T' on C(K) and two closed subspaces Y1, Y2 of (C(K); Tp) such that (C(K);T') is not universally measurable,…

Let $\{\pi_{e} \colon \mathbb{H} \to \mathbb{W}_{e} : e \in S^{1}\}$ be the family of vertical projections in the first Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}$. We prove that if $K \subset \mathbb{H}$ is a Borel set with Hausdorff dimension…

Let A be a Banach algebra and A' its complexification. In this paper we show that the homotopy fixed point set of K(A'), the topological K-theory space of A', under complex conjugation is just K(A), the topological K-theory space of A. This…

We describe families of MLDEs whose solutions are modular forms of level one that converge, $2$-adically, to a Hauptmodul on $\Gamma_0(2)$ by using a theorem of Serre. Then, we apply this to show that the image of the character map on the…

In this paper, we investigate the Hausdorff measure of planar dominated self-affine sets at their affinity dimension. We show that the Hausdorff measure being positive and finite is equivalent to the K\"aenm\"aki measure being a mass…

It was proven in [B.-Y. Chen, F. Dillen, J. Van der Veken and L. Vrancken, Curvature inequalities for Lagrangian submanifolds: the final solution, Differ. Geom. Appl. 31 (2013), 808-819] that every Lagrangian submanifold $M$ of a complex…

We study the integrability to second order of infinitesimal Einstein deformations on compact Riemannian and in particular on K\"ahler manifolds. We find a new way of expressing the necessary and sufficient condition for integrability to…

If the system S of contracting similitudes on $ R^2$ satisfies open convex set condition, then the set F of extreme points of the convex hull $\tilde{K}$ of it's invariant self-similar set K has Hausdorff dimension 0 . If, additionally, all…

For a strictly convex set $K\subset \mathbb{R}^2$ of class $C^2$ we consider its associated sub-Finsler $K$-perimeter $|\partial E|_K$ in $\mathbb{H}^1$ and the prescribed mean curvature functional $|\partial E|_K-\int_E f$ associated to a…

We prove that most one-dimensional projections of a discrete subset of a plane are either dense in R (the real line), or form a discrete subset of R. More precisely, the set E of exceptional directions (for which the indicated dichotomy…

A subset U of a group G is called k-universal if U contains a translate of every k-element subset of G. We give several nearly optimal constructions of small k-universal sets, and use them to resolve an old question of Erdos and Newman on…

We investigate the global topology of 3-dimensional Hessian manifolds. We prove that any compact, orientable 3-dimensional Hessian manifold is either a Hantzsche-Wendt manifold or admits the structure of a K\"ahler mapping torus. We analyze…
