We prove that the space of persistence diagrams on $n$ points (with the bottleneck or a Wasserstein distance) coarsely embeds into Hilbert space by showing it is of asymptotic dimension $2n$. Such an embedding enables utilisation of Hilbert…

In 2019 P. Patak and M. Tancer obtained the following higher-dimensional generalization of the Heawood inequality on embeddings of graphs into surfaces. We present a short well-structured proof accessible to non-specialists in the field.…

For a countable amenable group $G$ and a fixed dimension $m\geq 1$, we investigate when it is possible to embed a $G$-space $X$ into the $m$-dimensional cubical shift $([0,1]^m)^G$. We focus our attention on systems that arise as an…

We show that the following algorithmic problem is decidable: given a $2$-dimensional simplicial complex, can it be embedded (topologically, or equivalently, piecewise linearly) in $\mathbf{R}^3$? By a known reduction, it suffices to decide…

We revisit the Riemann-Cartan geometry in the context of recent higher-dimensional theories of spacetime. After introducing the concept of torsion in a modern geometrical language we present some results that represent extensions of…

We consider the problem of computing the smallest possible distortion for embedding of a given n-point metric space into R^d, where d is fixed (and small). For d=1, it was known that approximating the minimum distortion with a factor better…

We study a generalized boundary rigidity problem, which investigates whether the areas of embedded minimal surfaces can uniquely determine a Riemannian manifold with boundary. We prove that for a conformal perturbation of an analytic metric…

Let $\mathcal C$ be the Cantor set. For each $n\geqslant 3$ we construct an embedding $A: \mathcal C \times \mathcal C \to \mathbb R^n$ such that $A(\mathcal C \times \{s\})$, for $s\in\mathcal C$, are pairwise ambiently incomparable…

Consider a compact Riemannian manifold in dimension $n$ with strictly convex boundary. We show the local invertibility near a boundary point of the transverse ray transform of $2$ tensors for $n\geq 3$ and the mixed ray transform of $2+2$…

Suppose a finite group $G$ acts on a manifold $M$. By a theorem of Mostow, also Palais, there is a $G$-equivariant embedding of $M$ into the $m$-dimensional Euclidean space $\RR^{m}$ for some $m$. We are interested in some explicit bounds…

We prove that under certain conditions on the mean curvature and on the Kaehler angles, a compact submanifold M of real dimension 2n, immersed into a Kaehler-Einstein manifold N of complex dimension 2n, must be either a complex or a…

The study of (minimally) rigid graphs is motivated by numerous applications, mostly in robotics and bioinformatics. A major open problem concerns the number of embeddings of such graphs, up to rigid motions, in Euclidean space. We capture…

A topological space $X$ is a $\Delta$-space (or $X \in \Delta$) if for any decreasing sequence $\{A_n : n < \omega\}$ of subsets of $X$ with empty intersection there is a (decreasing) sequence $\{U_n : n < \omega\}$ of open sets with empty…

Bredon and Wood have given a complete answer to the embeddability question for nonorientable surfaces in lens spaces. They formulate their result in terms of a recursive formula that determines, for a given lens space, the minimal genus of…

We prove that any compact almost complex manifold $(M, J)$ of real dimension $2m$ admits a pseudo-holomorphic embedding in a Euclidean space of dimension $4m + 2$, endowed with a suitable non-standard almost complex structure. Moreover, we…

We give a general survey of the solution of the Einstein constraints by the conformal method on n dimensional compact manifolds. We prove some new results about solutions with low regularity (solutions in $H_{2}$ when n=3), and solutions…

There are different definitions of homological dimension of metric compacta involving either \v{C}ech homology or exact (Steenrod) homology. In this paper we investigate the relation between these homological dimensions with respect to…

The vanishing of Van Kampen's obstruction is known to be necessary and sufficient for embeddability of a simplicial n-complex into $R^{2n}$ for $n\neq 2$, and it was recently shown to be incomplete for $n=2$. We use algebraic-topological…

This note pertains to isometric embeddings endowed with certain geometric properties. We study two embedding problems for a Riemannian manifold $M$ which is diffeomorphic to $\RR^n$ and admits a Bieberbach group $\Gamma$ acting by…

The main result of this paper is that if $X$ is a Peano continuum such that its $n$-th cone $C^n(X)$ embeds into $\RR^{n+2}$ then $X$ embeds into $S^2$. This solves a problem proposed by W. Rosicki.
