Relationships between a chaotic behavior and closely related properties of topological transitivity, sensitivity to initial conditions, density of closed orbits of homeomorphism groups and their countable products are investigated. We…
We further investigate the weak topology generated by the irreducible unitary representations of a group $G$. A deep result due to Ernest \cite{Ernest1971} and Hughes \cite{Hughes1973} asserts that every weakly compact subset of a locally…
This survey paper concerns mainly with some asymptotic topological properties of finitely presented discrete groups: quasi-simple filtration (QSF), geometric simple connectivity (GSC), topological inverse-representations, and the notion of…
If the topology of the universe is compact we show how it significantly changes our assessment of the naturalness of the observed structure of the universe and the likelihood of its present state of high isotropy and near flatness arising…
Inner amenability is a bridge between amenability of an object and amenability of its operator algebras. It is an open problem of Ananantharman-Delaroche to decide whether all \'etale groupoids are inner amenable. Approximate lattices and…
We give a "limit-free formula" simplifying the computation of the topological entropy for topological automorphisms of totally disconnected locally compact groups. This result allows us to extend several basic properties of the topological…
The irreducible decomposition of a unitary representation often contains continuous spectrum when restricted to a non-compact subgroup. The author singles out a nice class of branching problems where each irreducible summand occurs…
We will review the main results concerning the automorphism groups of saturated structures which were obtained during the two last decades. The main themes are: the small index property in the countable and uncountable cases; the…
We survey results on the topological complexity of classical configuration spaces of distinct ordered points in orientable surfaces and related spaces, including certain orbit configuration spaces and Eilenberg-Mac Lane spaces associated to…
In this thesis, we study the existence of universal objets of two differents types in the theory of topological groups and theirs actions on compacts spaces. In the first part, we contribute to the problem of existence of test spaces for…
Our aim is to find some new links between linear (circular) orderability of groups and topological dynamics. We suggest natural analogs of the concept of algebraic orderability for topological groups involving order-preserving actions on…
We define a class of spaces on which one may generalise the notion of compactness following motivating examples from higher-dimensional number theory. We establish analogues of several well-known topological results (such as Tychonoff's…
We introduce a fairly general concept of functional equation for $k$-tuples of functions $f_1,\dots,f_k\colon X \to Y$ between arbitrary sets. The homomorphy equations for mappings between groups and other algebraic systems, as well as…
In this paper we further study links between concentration of measure in topological transformation groups, existence of fixed points, and Ramsey-type theorems for metric spaces. We prove that whenever the group $\Iso(\U)$ of isometries of…
We survey all results concerning the topology of complete noncompact Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature that have no additional conditions other than restrictions to the dimension, volume growth or diameter growth of the…
In this work we have considered the complexity of the different structures as topological group on Z. We collect some new results, as well as some known results on the group of the integers in order to present: -A family of $2^\cont$…
We describe how properties of metric groups and of unitary representations of metric groups can be presented in continuous logic. In particular we find $L_{\omega_1 \omega}$-axiomatization of amenability. We also show that in the case of…
We consider 9 natural tightness conditions for topological spaces that are all variations on countable tightness and investigate the interrelationships between them. Several natural open problems are raised.
We characterize exactly the compactness properties of the product of \kappa\ copies of the space \omega\ with the discrete topology. The characterization involves uniform ultrafilters, infinitary languages, and the existence of nonstandard…
The Isbell, compact-open and point-open topologies on the set $C(X,\mathbb{R})$ of continuous real-valued maps can be represented as the dual topologies with respect to some collections $\alpha(X)$ of compact families of open subsets of a…
