We consider the problem of characterizing the extreme points of the set of analytic functions f on the bidisk with positive real part and f(0)=1. If one restricts to those f whose Cayley transform is a rational inner function, one gets a…

Let $f:M^m\to N^n$ be a smooth map between two differential manifolds with $N$ connected, $f(M)$ closed and $f(M)\neq N$. In this short note, we show that either all the points of $M$ are critical points of $f$ or the dimension the…

Given a finite group G, let cd(G) denote the set of degrees of the irreducible complex characters of G. The character degree graph of G is defined as the simple undirected graph whose vertices are the prime divisors of the numbers in cd(G),…

Let $f,g:X \to Y$ be continuous mappings. We say that $f$ is topologically equivalent to $g$ if there exist homeomorphisms $\Phi : X\to X$ and $\Psi: Y\to Y$ such that $\Psi\circ f\circ \Phi=g.$ Let $X,Y$ be complex smooth irreducible…

A topological group $G$ is B-amenable if and only if every continuous affine action of $G$ on a bounded convex subset of a locally convex space has an approximate fixed point. Similar results hold more generally for slightly uniformly…

Given a compact basic semi-algebraic set $K\subset R^n\times R^m$, a simple set $B$ (box or ellipsoid), and some semi-algebraic function $f$, we consider sets defined with quantifiers, of the form $R_f:=\{x\in B: \mbox{$f(x,y)\leq 0$ for…

For maps of one complex variable, $f$, given as the sum of a degree $n$ power map and a degree $d$ polynomial, we provide necessary and sufficient conditions that the geometric limit as $n$ approaches infinity of the set of points that…

Let $f$ be a measurable, real function defined in a neighbourhood of infinity. The function $f$ is said to be of generalised regular variation if there exist functions $h \not\equiv 0$ and $g > 0$ such that $f(xt) - f(t) = h(x) g(t) +…

A subset $U$ of a set $S$ with a binary operation is called {\it avoidable} if $S$ can be partitioned into two subsets $A$ and $B$ such that no element of $U$ can be written as a product of two distinct elements of $A$ or as the product of…

Let $M$ be a compact smooth manifold with corners and $N$ be a finite dimensional smooth manifold without boundary which admits local addition. We define a smooth manifold structure to general sets of continuous mapings $\mathcal{F}(M,N)$…

We give a notion of BV function on an oriented manifold where a volume form and a family of lower semicontinuous quadratic forms $G_p: T_pM \to [0,\infty]$ are given. When we consider sub-Riemannian manifolds, our definition coincide with…

A map $f:X\to Y$ between topological spaces is defined to be {\em scatteredly continuous} if for each subspace $A\subset X$ the restriction $f|A$ has a point of continuity. We show that for a function $f:X\to Y$ from a perfectly paracompact…

The critical loci of a map $f:X\to Y$ between smooth schemes over a field $k$ are the locally closed subschemes $\Sigma^i(f)\subseteq X$ where the differential of $f$ has constant rank. We prove that if $f : X\to \mathbb A^r$ is the general…

These notes focus on the Lipschitz geometry of sets that are definable in o-minimal structures (expanding the real field). We show that every set which is definable in a polynomially bounded o-minimal structure admits a stratification which…

Given a finite set $X$ and a function $f:X\to X$, we define the degree of noninvertibility of $f$ to be $\displaystyle\text{deg}(f)=\frac{1}{|X|}\sum_{x\in X}|f^{-1}(f(x))|$. This is a natural measure of how far the function $f$ is from…

Many algorithms in numerical analysis are affine equivariant: they are immune to changes of affine coordinates. This is because those algorithms are defined using affine invariant constructions. There is, however, a crucial ingredient…

For a finite group $G$ not of prime power order, Oliver (1996) has answered the question which manifolds occur as the fixed point sets of smooth actions of $G$ on disks (resp., Euclidean spaces). We extend Oliver's result to compact (resp.,…

Consider a finite morphism f:X -> Y of smooth projective varieties over a finite field k. Suppose X is the vanishing locus in projective N-space of at most r forms of degree at most d. We show there is a constant C, depending only on N, r,…

In this paper we give an explicit characterization of o-minimal structures with definable Skolem functions/definable choice. Such structures are, after naming finitely many elements from the prime model, a union of finitely many trivial…

For a definable continuous mapping $f$ from a definable connected open subset $\Omega$ of $\mathbb R^n$ into $\mathbb R^n,$ we show that the following statements are equivalent: (i) The mapping $f$ is open. (ii) The fibers of $f$ are finite…
