Several variations on the definition of a Formal Topology exist in the literature. They differ on how they express convergence, the formal property corresponding to the fact that open subsets are closed under finite intersections. We…

Connectedness, path connectedness, and uniform connectedness are well-known concepts. In the traditional presentation of these concepts there is a substantial difference between connectedness and the other two notions, namely connectedness…

In this paper, we give a new completion for quasi-uniform spaces which generalizes the completion theories of Doitchinov [8] and Stoltenberg [20]. The presented completion theory is very well-behaved and extends the completion theory of…

We prove that the image of the lifted period map on the universal cover lies in a complex Euclidean space. We also prove that the Teichm\"uller spaces of a class of polarized manifolds have complex affine structures.

A mechanical linkage is a mechanism made of rigid rods linked together by flexible joints, in which some vertices are fixed and others may move. The partial configuration space of a linkage is the set of all the possible positions of a…

Differential completions and compactifications of differential spaces are introduced and investigated. The existence of the maximal differential completion and the maximal differential compactification is proved. A sufficient condition for…

This paper provides an overview of the theory of Bruhat-Tits buildings. Besides, we explain how Bruhat-Tits buildings can be realized inside Berkovich spaces. In this way, Berkovich analytic geometry canbe used to compactify buildings. We…

We prove a characterization of profinite algebras, i.e., topological algebras that are isomorphic to a projective limit of finite discrete algebras. In general profiniteness concerns both the topological and algebraic characteristics of a…

With a simple generic approach, we develop a classification that encodes and measures the strength of completeness (or compactness) properties in various types of spaces and ordered structures. The approach also allows us to encode notions…

We give a conceptual explanation of universal deformation formulas for unital associative algebras and prove some results on the structure of their moduli spaces. We then generalize universal deformation formulas to other types of algebras…

In this article, we carry out the flattening techniques developped in a former work in order to ``embellish" a map between compact analytic spaces, to describe the structure of its image, getting this way a substitute for Chevalley's…

We show that pseudovarieties of finitely generated algebras, i.e., classes $C$ of finitely generated algebras closed under finite products, homomorphic images, and subalgebras, can be described via a uniform structure $U$ on the free…

Let $k\geq 2$ be an integer. Given a uniform function $f$ - one that satisfies $\|f\|_{U(k)}<\infty$, there is an associated anti-uniform function $g$ - one that satisfied $\|g\|_{U(k)}^{*}$. The question is, can one approximate $g$ with…

We classify affine operators on a unitary or Euclidean space U up to topological conjugacy. An affine operator is a map f: U-->U of the form f(x)=Ax+b, in which A: U-->U is a linear operator and b in U. Two affine operators f and g are said…

We prove that an equivalent condition for a uniform space to be coverable is that the images of the natural projections in the fundamental inverse system are uniformly open in a certain sense. As corollaries we (1) obtain a concrete way to…

We present an algebraic characterization of the complexity classes Logspace and Nlogspace, using an algebra with a composition law based on unification. This new bridge between unification and complexity classes is rooted in proof theory…

Convergence spaces are a generalization of topological spaces. The category of convergence spaces is well-suited for Algebraic Topology, one of the reasons is the existence of exponential objects provided by continuous convergence. In this…

We discuss selected topics on the topology of moduli spaces of curves and maps, emphasizing their relation with Gromov--Witten theory and integrable systems.

A brief survey of real algebraic structures on topological spaces is given. This article is written for the Gokova Gemetry/Topology Conference proceedings.

We introduce superequivalence and superuniform spaces.
