Super weak compactness and uniform Eberlein compacta

We prove that a topological space is uniform Eberlein compact iff it is homeomorphic to a super weakly compact subset C of a Banach space such that the closed convex hull coC of C is super weakly compact. We also show that a Banach space X is super weakly compactly generated iff the dual unit ball B_X* of X^* in its weak star topology is affinely homeomorphic to a super weakly compactly convex subset of a Banach space.     

Universal uniform Eberlein compact spaces

A universal space is one that continuously maps onto all others of its own kind and weight. We investigate when a universal Uniform Eberlein compact space exists for weight . If , then they exist whereas otherwise, in many cases including , it is consistent that they do not exist. This answers (for many and consistently for all ) a question of Benyamini, Rudin and Wage of 1977.

     

Expandable network and covering properties for uniform Eberlein compacta

In this paper we characterize the class of uniform Eberlein compact spaces through a network condition and also in terms of covering properties for the square of the space.     

A note on monolithic scattered compacta

For a Banach space E, it is well-known that a necessary condition for E to have the controlled separable complementation property (CSCP  , for short) is that the dual unit ball _BE?$B_{E^{?}}$ be monolithic in the weak-star topology. We prove here that when X is a scattered first countable locally compact space, then monolithicity of X   turns out to be sufficient for _C0(X)$C_0(X)$ to enjoy the CSCP.

West's problem on equivariant hyperspaces and Banach-Mazur compacta

Let be a compact Lie group, a metric -space, and the hyperspace of all nonempty compact subsets of endowed with the Hausdorff metric topology and with the induced action of . We prove that the following three assertions are equivalent: (a) is locally continuum-connected (resp., connected and locally continuum-connected); (b) is a -ANR (resp., a -AR); (c) is an ANR (resp., an AR). This is applied to show that is an ANR (resp., an AR) for each compact (resp., connected) Lie group . If is a finite group, then is a Hilbert cube whenever is a nondegenerate Peano continuum. Let be the hyperspace of all centrally symmetric, compact, convex bodies , , for which the ordinary Euclidean unit ball is the ellipsoid of minimal volume containing , and let be the complement of the unique -fixed point in . We prove that: (1) for each closed subgroup , is a Hilbert cube manifold; (2) for each closed subgroup acting non-transitively on , the -orbit space and the -fixed point set are Hilbert cubes. As an application we establish new topological models for tha Banach-Mazur compacta and prove that and have the same -homotopy type.

     

On hereditarily indecomposable continua, Henderson compacta and a question of Yohe

We answer a question of Yohe by showing that there exists a family of continuum many topologically different hereditarily indecomposable Cantor manifolds without any non-trivial weakly infinite-dimensional subcontinua. This family may consist either of compacta containing one-dimensional subsets or of compacta containing no weakly infinite-dimensional subsets of positive dimension.

     

Universality properties of Taylor series inside the domain of holomorphy

It is proven that the Taylor series of functions holomorphic in C_∞?{1} generically have certain universality properties on small sets outside the unit disk. Moreover, it is shown that such sets necessarily are polar sets.     

Universality of holomorphic functions bounded on closed sets

In this note, the existence of translation-universal entire functions which are bounded on certain closed subsets is characterized in terms of topological and geometrical properties of such subsets. Corresponding results are also stated in the space of holomorphic functions on the unit disk and in the space of harmonic functions on the plane. Moreover, it is shown the existence of entire functions which are bounded on many rays and, simultaneously, are universal with respect to a prescribed infinite-order differential operator.     

Group actions and covering maps in the uniform category

In Rips complexes and covers in the uniform category (Brodskiy et al. [4]) we define, following James (1990) [9], covering maps of uniform spaces and introduce, inspired by Berestovskii and Plaut (2007) [2], the concept of generalized uniform covering maps. In this paper we investigate when these covering maps are induced by group actions which allows us to relate our covering maps to those in Berestovskii and Plaut (2007) [2]. Also, as an application of our results we present an exposition of Prajs' (2002) [16] homogeneous curve that is path-connected but not locally connected.     

Noetherian types of homogeneous compacta and dyadic compacta

The Noetherian type of a space is the least κ such that it has a base that is κ-like with respect to reverse inclusion. Just as all known homogeneous compacta have cellularity at most c, they satisfy similar upper bounds in terms of Noetherian type and related cardinal functions. We prove these and many other results about these cardinal functions. For example, every homogeneous dyadic compactum has Noetherian type ω. Assuming GCH, every point in a homogeneous compactum X has a local base that is c(X)-like with respect to containment. If every point in a compactum has a well-quasiordered local base, then some point has a countable local π-base.     

Renorming of spaces

If is a scattered Eberlein compact space, then admits an equivalent dual norm that is uniformly rotund in every direction. The same is shown for the dual to the Johnson-Lindenstrauss space .

     

Hartman-Mycielski functor of non-metrizable compacta

We investigate certain topological properties of the normal functor H, introduced by the first author, which is a certain functorial compactification of the Hartman-Mycielski construction HM. We prove that H is always open and we also find the condition when H X is an absolute retract, homeomorphic to the Tychonov cube.     

Cohomological dimension of Markov compacta

We rephrase Gromov's definition of Markov compacta, introduce a subclass of Markov compacta defined by one building block and study cohomological dimensions of these compacta. We show that for a Markov compactum X, dimZ(p)X=dimQX for all but finitely many primes p where Z(p) is the localization of Z at p. We construct Markov compacta of arbitrarily large dimension having dimQX=1 as well as Markov compacta of arbitrary large rational dimension with dimZpX=1 for a given p.     

On the global convergence of the Eberlein method for real matrices

Summary The global convergence proof of the column-and row-cyclic Eberlein diagonalization process for real matrices is given. The convergence to a fixed matrix in Murnaghan form is obtained with the well-known exception of complex-conjugate pairs of eigenvalues whose real parts are more than double.     

Bohr's inequality for uniform algebras

We prove a uniform algebra analogue of a classical inequality of Bohr's concerning Fourier coefficients of bounded holomorphic functions. The classical inequality follows trivially.

     

Universality and asymptotics of graph counting problems in non-orientable surfaces

Bender-Canfield showed that a plethora of graph counting problems in orientable/non-orientable surfaces involve two constants tg and pg for the orientable and the non-orientable case, respectively. T.T.Q. Le and the authors recently discovered a hidden relation between the sequence tg and a formal power series solution u(z) of the Painlevé I equation which, among other things, allows to give exact asymptotic expansion of tg to all orders in 1/g for large g. The paper introduces a formal power series solution v(z) of a Riccati equation, gives a non-linear recursion for its coefficients and an exact asymptotic expansion to all orders in g for large g, using the theory of Borel transforms. In addition, we conjecture a precise relation between the sequence pg and v(z). Our conjecture is motivated by the enumerative aspects of a quartic matrix model for real symmetric matrices, and the analytic properties of its double scaling limit. In particular, the matrix model provides a computation of the number of rooted quadrangulations in the 2-dimensional projective plane. Our conjecture implies analyticity of the O(N)- and Sp(N)-types of free energy of an arbitrary closed 3-manifold in a neighborhood of zero. Finally, we give a matrix model calculation of the Stokes constants, pose several problems that can be answered by the Riemann-Hilbert approach, and provide ample numerical evidence for our results.
