In this paper we define and study a notion of discrete homology theory for metric spaces. Instead of working with simplicial homology, our chain complexes are given by Lipschitz maps from an $n$-dimensional cube to a fixed metric space. We…

This is about Curtis conjecture on the image of the Hurewicz map $h:{_2\pi_*}Q_0S^0\to H_*(Q_0S^0;\Z/2)$. First, we show that if $f\in{_2\pi_*^s}$ is of Adams filtration at least $3$ with $h(f)\neq 0$ then $f$ is not a decomposable element…

Let K be any compact set. The C^*-algebra C(K) is nuclear and any bounded homomorphism from C(K) into B(H), the algebra of all bounded operators on some Hilbert space H, is automatically completely bounded. We prove extensions of these…

We establish two main results for the asymptotic dimension of countable approximate groups. The first one is a Hurewicz type formula for a global morphism of countable approximate groups $f:(\Xi, \Xi^\infty) \to (\Lambda, \Lambda^\infty)$,…

This paper forms the second part of a series by the authors [GMV1,GMV3] concerning the structure theory of nilspaces of Antol\'in Camarena and Szegedy. A nilspace is a compact space $X$ together with closed collections of cubes…

We investigate whether non-metrizable manifolds in various classes can be homotopy equivalent to a CW-complex (in short: heCWc), and in particular contractible. We show that a non-metrizable manifold cannot be heCWc if it has one of the…

We give a wedge removability theorem for metrically thin sets of two codimensional Hausdorff null measure. This removability theorem combined with the wedge removability theorem of Merker for closed subsets of two codimensional manifolds,…

We give a simple and unified proof showing that the unrestricted wreath product of a weakly sofic, sofic, linear sofic, or hyperlinear group by an amenable group is weakly sofic, sofic, linear sofic, or hyperlinear, respectively. By means…

Let X be a connected normal complex space of dimension n>=2 which is (n-1)-complete, and let p: M -> X be a resolution of singularities. By use of Takegoshi's generalization of the Grauert-Riemenschneider vanishing theorem, we deduce…

We give a new proof, using comparatively simple techniques, of the Sullivan conjecture: the space of pointed maps from the classifying space of the cyclic group of order $p$ to any finite-dimensional CW complex $K$ is contractible.

Employing Morse theory for the global control of monodromy and the method of analytic discs for local extension, we establish a version of the global Hartogs extension theorem in a singular setting: for every domain D of an (n-1)-complete…

Let k be a field. We attach a CW-complex to any Schurian k-category and we prove that the fundamental group of this CW-complex is isomorphic to the intrinsic fundamental group of the k-category. This extends previous results by J.C.…

In this paper, we develop homology groups for digital images based on cubical singular homology theory for topological spaces. Using this homology, we present digital Hurewicz theorem for the fundamental group of digital images. We also…

Hurewicz' characterized the dimension of separable metrizable spaces by means of finite-to-one maps. We investigate whether this characterization also holds in the class of compact F-spaces of weight c. Our main result is that, assuming the…

After recent work of Hill, Hopkins, and Ravenel on the Kervaire invariant one problem, as well as Adams' solution of the Hopf invariant one problem, an immediate consequence of Curtis conjecture is that the set of spherical classes in…

For any countable $CW$-complex $K$ and a cardinal number $\tau\geq\omega$ we construct a completely metrizable space $X(K,\tau)$ of weight $\tau$ with the following properties: $\e X(K,\tau)\leq K$, $X(K,\tau)$ is an absolute extensor for…

This paper is on the Curtis conjecture. We show that the image of the Hurewicz homomorhism $h:\pi_*Q_0S^0\to H_*(Q_0S^0;\mathbb{Z})$, when restricted to product of positive dimensional elements, is determined by…

Given a complete K\"ahler manifold $(X,\,\omega)$ with finite second Betti number, a smooth complex hypersurface $Y\subset X$ and a smooth real $d$-closed $(1,\,1)$-form $\alpha$ on $X$ with arbitrary, possibly non-rational, De Rham…

An inverse limit of a sequence of covering spaces over a given space $X$ is not, in general, a covering space over $X$ but is still a lifting space, i.e. a Hurewicz fibration with unique path lifting property. Of particular interest are…

The main theorem shows that if M is an irreducible compact connected orientable 3-manifold with non-empty boundary, then the classifying space BDiff(M rel dM) of the space of diffeomorphisms of M which restrict to the identity map on…
