Let $X$ be a completely regular topological space. We study closed ideals $H$ of $C_B(X)$, the normed algebra of bounded continuous scalar-valued mappings on $X$ equipped with pointwise addition and multiplication and the supremum norm,…

We first prove a version of Tietze-Urysohn's theorem for proper functions taking values in non-negative real numbers defined on $\sigma$-compact locally compact Hausdorff spaces. As its application, we prove an extension theorem of proper…

If $g$ is a map from a space $X$ into $\mathbb R^m$ and $q$ is an integer, let $B_{q,d,m}(g)$ be the set of all lines $\Pi^d\subset\mathbb R^m$ such that $|g^{-1}(\Pi^d)|\geq q$. Let also $\mathcal H(q,d,m,k)$ denote the maps $g\colon…

The polyboundedness number $\mathrm{cov}(\mathcal A_X)$ of a semigroup $X$ is the smallest cardinality of a cover of $X$ by sets of the form $\{x\in X:a_0xa_1\cdots xa_n=b\}$ for some $n\ge 1$, $b\in X$ and $a_0,\dots,a_n\in…

The class of Hausdorff spaces that are continuous images of compact orderable spaces is studied by analyzing the relationship between the elements of this class and compact orderable spaces in a back-and-forth fashion. Structure results for…

Let $F=\{\mathbf{p}_0,\ldots,\mathbf{p}_n\}$ be a collection of points in $\mathbb{R}^d.$ The set $F$ naturally gives rise to a family of iterated function systems consisting of contractions of the form $$S_i(\mathbf{x})=\lambda \mathbf{x}…

In this paper we show that any $\infty$-operad is equivalent to the localization of a discrete $\Sigma$-free operad, working in the formalism of dendroidal sets. The key point is defining the root functor of a dendroidal set $X$, a functor…

If $I$ is an ideal in the ring $C(X)$ of all real valued continuous functions defined over a Tychonoff space $X$, then $X$ is called $I$-$pseudocompact$ if the set $X\setminus \bigcap Z[I]$ is a bounded subset of $X$. Corresponding to $I$,…

Suppose that $f$ belongs to a suitably defined complete metric space $ {{\cal C}}^{{\alpha}}$ of H\"older $ {\alpha}$-functions defined on $[0,1]$. We are interested in whether one can find large (in the sense of Hausdorff, or lower/upper…

A topological preordered space admits a Hausdorff closed preorder compactification if and only if it is Tychonoff and the preorder is represented by the family of continuous isotone functions. We construct the largest Hausdorff closed…

A family $\bfam$ of continuous real-valued functions on a space $X$ is said to be {\sl basic} if every $f \in C(X)$ can be represented $f = \sum_{i=1}^n g_i \circ \phi_i$ for some $\phi_i \in \bfam$ and $g_i \in C(\R)$ ($i=1, ..., n$).…

A fundamental step in the classification of finite-dimensional complex pointed Hopf algebras is the determination of all finite-dimensional Nichols algebras of braided vector spaces arising from groups. The most important class of braided…

In this paper we construct for every integer $n>1$ a complex manifold of dimension $n$ which is exhausted by an increasing sequence of biholomorphic images of $\mathbb C^n$ (i.e., a long $\mathbb C^n$), but it does not admit any nonconstant…

The concept of a skew root of a skew polynomial is used to introduce notions of algebraic closedness for $\sigma$-fields, that is, a field equipped with an endomorphism. It is shown that every $\sigma$-field can be embedded in algebraically…

For a metrizable space $X$ of density $\kappa$, let $PM(X)$ be the space of continuous bounded pseudometrics on $X$ endowed with the uniform convergence topology. In this paper, its topology shall be classified as follows: (i) If $X$ is…

Let $\mathcal C$ be a class of topological semigroups. A semigroup $X$ is called $absolutely$ $\mathcal C$-$closed$ if for any homomorphism $h:X\to Y$ to a topological semigroup $Y\in\mathcal C$, the image $h[X]$ is closed in $Y$. Let…

A uniform approach to computing with infinite objects like real numbers, tuples of these, compacts sets, and uniformly continuous maps is presented. In work of Berger it was shown how to extract certified algorithms working with the signed…

In this paper we develop a tool to identify functions which have no iterative roots of any order. Using this, we prove that when $X$ is $[0,1]^m$, $\mathbb{R}^m$ or $S^1$, every non-empty open set of the space $\mathcal{C}(X)$ of continuous…
