We prove several reflection theorems on $D$-spaces, which are Hausdorff topological spaces $X$ in which for every open neighbourhood assignment $U$ there is a closed discrete subspace $D$ such that \[ \bigcup\{U(x): x\in D\}=X. \] The…

A classical theorem of Micallef says that if $F \colon (\Sigma, g) \to \mathbb{R}^4$ is a stable minimal immersion of an oriented $2$-dimensional complete Riemannian manifold (that is parabolic) into $\mathbb{R}^4$, it is necessarily…

This paper concerns the self-similarity of topological spaces, in the sense defined in math.DS/0411344. I show how to recognize self-similar spaces, or more precisely, universal solutions of self-similarity systems. Examples include the…

In 1976, Kan and Thurston proved the theorem that any path-connected space $X$ is homology equivalent to the classifying space of some discrete group $G$. In 1979, McDuff proved a homotopy version of it: any path-connected space $X$ has the…

We prove a commutative Gelfand--Naimark type theorem, by showing that the set $C_s(X)$ of continuous bounded (real or complex valued) functions with separable support on a locally separable metrizable space $X$ (provided with the supremum…

We define centrally large subalgebras of simple unital C*-algebras, strengthening the definition of large subalgebras in previous work. We prove that if A is any infinite dimensional simple separable unital C*-algebra which contains a…

In this paper we study the topology of the space of Riemann surfaces in a simply connected space X, S_{g,n} (X, \gamma). This is the space consisting of triples, (F_{g,n}, \phi, f), where F_{g,n} is a Riemann surface of genus g and…

Let X be a h-homogeneous zero-dimensional compact Hausdorff space, i.e. X is a Stone dual of a homogeneous Boolean algebra. Using the dual Ramsey theorem and a detailed combinatorial analysis of what we call stable collections of subsets of…

Let $(M,g)$ be a compact K\"ahler manifold and $f$ a positive smooth function such that its Hamiltonian vector field $K = J\mathrm{grad}_g f$ for the K\"ahler form $\omega_g$ is a holomorphic Killing vector field. We say that the pair…

Let $X, Y$ be smooth algebraic varieties of the same dimension. Let $f, g : X \to Y$ be finite polynomial mappings. We say that $f, g$ are equivalent if there exists a regular automorphism $\Phi \in Aut(X)$ such that $f = g\circ \Phi$. Of…

A Hausdorff topological group is called minimal if it does not admit a strictly coarser Hausdorff group topology. This paper mostly deals with the topological group $H_+(X)$ of order-preserving homeomorphisms of a compact linearly ordered…

Let $\Delta$ be a foliation on a topological manifold $X$, $Y$ be the space of leaves, and $p: X \to Y$ be the natural projection. Endow $Y$ with the factor topology with respect to $p$. Then the group $\mathcal{H}(X, \Delta)$ of foliated…

The approximation of Sobolev homeomorphisms by smooth diffeomorphisms is well understood in first-order spaces $W^{1,p}$, but remains largely open in the second-order space $W^{2,1}$ due to a fundamental tension between curvature control…

A function $F:2^\omega\to 2^\omega$ is an $E_0$-isomorphism if for all $x,y\in 2^\omega$, we have $xE_0y\iff f(x)E_0 f(y)$, where $xE_0y\iff(\exists a)(\forall n\ge b) x(n)=y(n)$. If such witnesses $a$ for $xE_0 y$ and for $f(x)E_0 f(y)$…

We prove that for a compact subgroup $H$ of an almost connected locally compact Hausdorff group $G$, the following properties are mutually equivalent: (1) $H$ is a maximal compact subgroup of $G$, (2) $G/H$ is contractible, (3) $G/H$ is…

We show that if there exists a topologically expansive homeomorphism on a uniform space, then the space is always a regular space. Through examples we show that in general composition of topologically expansive homeomorphisms need not be…

The class of self-similar 2-manifolds consists of manifolds exhibiting a type of homogeneity akin to the 2-sphere and the Cantor set, and includes both the 2-sphere and the 2-sphere with a Cantor set removed. This chapter aims to provide a…

Let $A$ be a unital simple C*-algebra with tracial rank zero and $X$ be a compact metric space. Suppose that $h_1, h_2: C(X)\to A$ are two unital monomorphisms. We show that $h_1$ and $h_2$ are approximately unitarily equivalent if and only…

I present a new proof of Kirchberg's $\mathcal O_2$-stable classification theorem: two separable, nuclear, stable/unital, $\mathcal O_2$-stable $C^\ast$-algebras are isomorphic if and only if their ideal lattices are order isomorphic, or…

We prove that the homeomorphism problem for connected compact metric spaces is Borel bireducible with a universal orbit equivalence relation induced by a Borel action of a Polish group.
