A Hausdorff topological group G is minimal if every continuous isomorphism f : G --> H between G and a Hausdorff topological group H is open. Clearly, every compact Hausdorff group is minimal. It is well known that every infinite compact…

We develop the fundamental theory to study cubical isometry groups as totally disconnected, locally compact groups. We show how cubical isometries are determined by their local actions and how this can be applied in explicit constructions.…

For every countable group G we construct a compact path connected subspace K of R^4 whose fundamental group is isomorphic to G. Our construction is much simpler than the one found recently by Virk.

The notion of a Hopf module over a Hopf (co)quasigroup is introduced and a version of the fundamental theorem for Hopf (co)quasigroups is proven.

Extending a theorem of Shelah we prove that fundamental groups of Peano continua (locally connected and connected metric compact spaces) are finitely presented if they are countable. The proof uses ideas from geometric group theory.

We prove that every group can be realized as the homeomorphism group and as the group of (pointed) homotopy classes of (pointed) self-homotopy equivalences of infinitely many non-homotopy-equivalent Alexandroff spaces.

We construct a map from fundamental groups of complements to some plane configurations to the groups $G_{n}^{k}$ for large $k$. We discuss connection between the groups $G_{n}^{k}$ for different $G_{n}^{k}$ and their geometric realization.

A convergence structure generalizing the order convergence structure on the set of Hausdorff continuous interval functions is defined on the set of minimal usco maps. The properties of the obtained convergence space are investigated and…

We prove that compact Hausdorff spaces with a $\mathbb{P}$-diagonal are metrizable.

For a topological group $G$ let $E_{\textsf{com}}(G)$ be the total space of the universal transitionally commutative principal $G$-bundle as defined by Adem--Cohen--Torres-Giese. So far this space has been most studied in the case of…

We show that every Hausdorff topological group is a group retract of a minimal topological group. This first was conjectured by Pestov in 1983. Our main result leads to a solution of some problems of Arhangelskii. One of them is the problem…

We classify the possible elementary amenable fundamental groups of compact aspherical 4-manifolds with boundary and conclude that they are either polycyclic or solvable Baumslag- Solitar. Since these groups are good and satisfy the…

In Carnot groups of step 2 we consider sets having maximal or minimal possible homogeneous Hausdorff dimension compared to their Euclidean one: in the first case we prove that they must be in a sense vertical, that is a large part of these…

As a consequence of Kirchberg's work, Connes' Embedding Conjecture is equivalent to the property that every homomorphism of the group $F_\infty\times F_\infty$ into the unitary group $U(\ell^2)$ with the strong topology is pointwise…

In this paper we prove that every finite group $G$ can be realized as the group of self-homotopy equivalences of infinitely many elliptic spaces $X$. Moreover, $X$ can be chosen to be the rationalization of an inflexible compact simply…

We prove that groups definable in o-minimal structures have Cartan subgroups, and only finitely many conjugacy classes of such subgroups. We also delineate with precision how these subgroups cover the ambient group, in general very largely…

This paper develops a basic theory of H-groups. We introduce a special quotient of H-groups and extend some algebraic constructions of topological groups to the category of H-groups and H-maps. We use these constructions to prove some…

A Hausdorff topological group topology on a group $G$ is the minimum (Hausdorff) group topology if it is contained in every Hausdorff group topology on $G$. For every compact metrizable space $X$ containing an open $n$-cell, $n\ge2$, the…

The classical Hausdorff dimension of finite or countable sets is zero. We define an analog for finite sets, called finite Hausdorff dimension which is non-trivial. It turns out that a finite bound for the finite Hausdorff dimension…

We consider the space of all configurations of finitely many (potentially nested) circles in the plane. We prove that this space is aspherical, and compute the fundamental group of each of its connected components. It turns out these…
