The topological reconstruction problem asks how much information about a topological space can be recovered from its point-complement subspaces. If the whole space can be recovered in this way, it is called reconstructible. Our main result…
Combining ideas from two of our previous papers, we refine Arhangel'skii Theorem by proving a cardinal inequality of which this is a special case: any increasing union of strongly discretely Lindelof spaces with countable free sequences and…
In this paper, it is proved that the weak convergence of the $L_p$ Guassian surface area measures implies the convergence of the corresponding convex bodies in the Hausdorff metric for $p\geq 1$. Moreover, this paper obtains the solution to…
We prove the consistency of: for suitable strongly inaccessible cardinal lambda the dominating number, i.e. the cofinality of lambda^lambda is strictly bigger than cov(meagre_lambda), i.e. the minimal number of nowhere dense subsets of…
We give a construction under $CH$ of a non-metrizable compact Hausdorff space $K$ such that any uncountable semi-biorthogonal sequence in $C(K)$ must be of a very specific kind. The space $K$ has many nice properties, such as being…
We study the question of when an uncountable ccc topological space $X$ contains a ccc subspace of size $\aleph_1$. We show that it does if $X$ is compact Hausdorff and more generally if $X$ is Hausdorff with $\mathrm{pct}(X) \leq \aleph_1$.…
Certain solvable extensions of $H$-type groups provide noncompact counterexamples to the so-called Lichnerowicz conjecture, which asserted that ``harmonic'' Riemannian spaces must be rank 1 symmetric spaces.
We work in set-theory without choice ZF. Denoting by AC(N) the countable axiom of choice, we show in ZF+AC(N) that the closed unit ball of a uniformly convex Banach space is compact in the convex topology (an alternative to the weak…
In the absence of a half-bound state, a compactly supported potential of a Schr\"odinger operator on the line is determined up to a translation by the zeros and poles of the meropmorphically continued left (or right) reflection coefficient.…
In the first part of the paper, we study conformal groups that act properly discontinuously and cocompactly on simply connected, non-flat homogeneous plane waves. We show that proper cocompact similarity actions that are not isometric can…
Below, by space we mean a separable metrizable zero-dimensional space. It is studied when the space can be embedded in a Cantor set while maintaining the algebraic structure. Main results of the work: every space is an open retract of a…
We quantify Prokhorov's Theorem by establishing an explicit formula for the Hausdorff measure of non-compactness (HMNC) for the parametrized Prokhorov metric on the set of Borel probability measures on a Polish space. Furthermore, we…
It is proved that a compact Kahler manifold whose Ricci tensor has two distinct, constant, non-negative eigenvalues is locally the product of two Kahler-Einstein manifolds. A stronger result is established for the case of Kahler surfaces.…
We prove rectifiability results for $\mathsf{CD}(K,N)$ and $\mathsf{MCP}(K,N)$ metric measure spaces $(\mathsf{X},\mathsf{d},\mathfrak{m})$ with pointwise Ahlfors regular reference measure $\mathfrak{m}$ and with $\mathfrak{m}$-almost…
We review results concerning homogeneous compacta and discuss some open questions. It is established that indecomposable continua are Alexandroff (resp., Mazurkiewicz, or strong Cantor) manifolds with respect to the class of all continua.…
We show that affine subspaces of Euclidean space are of Khintchine type for divergence under certain multiplicative Diophantine conditions on the parametrizing matrix. This provides evidence towards the conjecture that all affine subspaces…
We construct a C*-algebra that has only one irreducible representation up to unitary equivalence but is not isomorphic to the algebra of compact operators on any Hilbert space. This answers an old question of Naimark. Our construction uses…
The Halpern-L\"auchli theorem, a combinatorial result about trees, admits an elegant proof due to Harrington using ideas from forcing. In an attempt to distill the combinatorial essence of this proof, we isolate various partition principles…
We prove the Bisognano-Wichmann property for asymptotically complete Haag-Kastler theories of massless particles. These particles should either be scalar or appear as a direct sum of two opposite integer helicities, thus, e.g., photons are…
Recently, Ghosh \& Haynes \cite{HG} proved a Khintchine-type result for the problem of Diophantine approximation in certain projective spaces. In this note we complement their result by observing that a Jarn\'{\i}k-type result also holds…
