Superrigidity and countable Borel equivalence relations

We formulate a Borel version of a corollary of Furman's superrigidity theorem for orbit equivalence and present a number of applications to the theory of countable Borel equivalence relations. In particular, we prove that the orbit equivalence relations arising from the natural actions of on the projective planes over the various p-adic fields are pairwise incomparable with respect to Borel reducibility.     

Linear algebraic groups and countable Borel equivalence relations

If is an equivalence relation on a standard Borel space , then we say that is Borel reducible to if there is a Borel function such that . An equivalence relation on a standard Borel space is Borel if its graph is a Borel subset of . It is countable if each of its equivalence classes is countable. We investigate the complexity of Borel reducibility of countable Borel equivalence relations on standard Borel spaces. We show that it is at least as complex as the relation of inclusion on the collection of Borel subsets of the real line. We also show that Borel reducibility is -complete. The proofs make use of the ergodic theory of linear algebraic groups, and more particularly the superrigidity theory of R. Zimmer.

     

On an equivalence of topological vector space valued cone metric spaces and metric spaces

Scalarization method is an important tool in the study of vector optimization as corresponding solutions of vector optimization problems can be found by solving scalar optimization problems. Recently this has been applied by Du (2010) [14] to investigate the equivalence of vectorial versions of fixed point theorems of contractive mappings in generalized cone metric spaces and scalar versions of fixed point theorems in general metric spaces in usual sense. In this paper, we find out that the topology induced by topological vector space valued cone metric coincides with the topology induced by the metric obtained via a nonlinear scalarization function, i.e any topological vector space valued cone metric space is metrizable, prove a completion theorem, and also obtain some more results in topological vector space valued cone normed spaces.     

Statistically localized sequences in metric spaces

In this paper we have introduced the statistically localized sequences in metric spaces and investigate basic properties of the statistically localized sequences. Also we have obtained some necessary and sufficient conditions for a localized sequence to be a statistically Cauchy sequence. It is also defined uniformly statistically localized sequences on metric spaces and its relation with statistically Cauchy sequences has been investigated.     

On fuzzy metric spaces

In this paper we introduce the concept of a fuzzy metric space. The distance between two points in a fuzzy metric space is a non-negative, upper semicontinuous, normal and convex fuzzy number. Properties of fuzzy metric spaces are studied and some fixed point theorems are proved.     

Plasticity in metric spaces

In this paper we examine the properties of EC-plastic metric spaces, spaces which have the property that any noncontractive bijection from the space onto itself must be an isometry.     

On completion of fuzzy metric spaces

Completions of fuzzy metric spaces (in the sense of George and Veeramani) are discussed. A complete fuzzy metric space Y is said to be a˜fuzzy metric completion of a˜given fuzzy metric space X if X is isometric to a˜dense subspace of Y. We present an example of a˜fuzzy metric space that does not admit any fuzzy metric completion. However, we prove that every standard fuzzy metric space has an (up to isometry) unique fuzzy metric completion. We also show that for each fuzzy metric space there is an (up to uniform isomorphism) unique complete fuzzy metric space that contains a˜dense subspace uniformly isomorphic to it.     

A characterization of compactly generated metric groups

Recall that a topological group is: (a) -compact if where each is compact, and (b) compactly generated if is algebraically generated by some compact subset of . Compactly generated groups are -compact, but the converse is not true: every countable non-finitely generated discrete group (for example, the group of rational numbers or the free (Abelian) group with a countable infinite set of generators) is a counterexample. We prove that a metric group is compactly generated if and only if is -compact and for every open subgroup of there exists a finite set such that algebraically generates . As a corollary, we obtain that a -compact metric group is compactly generated provided that one of the following conditions holds: (i) has no proper open subgroups, (ii) is dense in some connected group (in particular, if is connected itself), (iii) is totally bounded (= subgroup of a compact group). Our second major result states that a countable metric group is compactly generated if and only if it can be generated by a sequence converging to its identity element (eventually constant sequences are not excluded here). Therefore, a countable metric group can be generated by a (possibly eventually constant) sequence converging to its identity element in each of the cases (i), (ii) and (iii) above. Examples demonstrating that various conditions cannot be omitted or relaxed are constructed. In particular, we exhibit a countable totally bounded group which is not compactly generated.

     

On countable choice and sequential spaces

Under the axiom of choice, every first countable space is a Fréchet‐Urysohn space. Although, in its absence even ? may fail to be a sequential space. Our goal in this paper is to discuss under which set‐theoretic conditions some topological classes, such as the first countable spaces, the metric spaces, or the subspaces of ?, are classes of Fréchet‐Urysohn or sequential spaces. In this context, it is seen that there are metric spaces which are not sequential spaces. This fact raises the question of knowing if the completion of a metric space exists and it is unique. The answer depends on the definition of completion. Among other results it is shown that: every first countable space is a sequential space if and only if the axiom of countable choice holds, the sequential closure is idempotent in ? if and only if the axiom of countable choice holds for families of subsets of ?, and every metric space has a unique ‐completion.

On the metrizability of cone metric spaces

We have shown in this paper that a (complete) cone metric space (X,E,P,d) is indeed (completely) metrizable for a suitable metric D. Moreover, given any finite number of contractions f₁,…,fn on the cone metric space (X,E,P,d), D can be defined in such a way that these functions become also contractions on (X,D).     

Statistically D-bounded sequences in probabilistic normed spaces

In this study, the concept of a statistically D-bounded sequence in a probabilistic normed (PN) space endowed with the strong topology is introduced and its basic properties are investigated. It is shown that a strongly statistically convergent sequence and a strong statistically Cauchy sequence are statistically D-bounded under certain conditions. A sequence which goes far away from the limit point infinitely many times and presents random deviations in a PN space may be handled with the tools of strong statistical convergence and statistical D-boundedness.     

Graphs realised by r.e. equivalence relations

We investigate dependence of recursively enumerable graphs on the equality relation given by a specific r.e. equivalence relation on ω. In particular we compare r.e. equivalence relations in terms of graphs they permit to represent. This defines partially ordered sets that depend on classes of graphs under consideration. We investigate some algebraic properties of these partially ordered sets. For instance, we show that some of these partial ordered sets possess atoms, minimal and maximal elements. We also fully describe the isomorphism types of some of these partial orders.     

On the hyperspace of a non-separable metric space

We prove the following two results. 1) There exists a non-separable complete metric space whose Wijsman hypertopology is not Cech-complete. 2) There exist a non-separable metrizable space and two compatible metrics on it, such that the collections of the Borel sets generated by the relative Wijsman hypertopologies do not coincide.

     

On the number of permutatively inequivalent basic sequences in a Banach space

Let X be a Banach space with a Schauder basis (en)_n∈N. The relation E₀ is Borel reducible to permutative equivalence between normalized block-sequences of (en)_n∈N or X is c₀ or ?p saturated for some 1?p<+∞. If (en)_n∈N is shrinking unconditional then either it is equivalent to the canonical basis of c₀ or ?p, 1<p<+∞, or the relation E₀ is Borel reducible to permutative equivalence between sequences of normalized disjoint blocks of X or of X^∗. If (en)_n∈N is unconditional, then either X is isomorphic to ?₂, or X contains ω² subspaces or ω² quotients which are spanned by pairwise permutatively inequivalent normalized unconditional bases.     

Some periodic point results in generalized metric spaces

We prove some fixed point and periodic point theorems for a map in generalized metric spaces. An example is provided to support our result. The results presented in this paper generalize several well known comparable results in the literature.     

Fixed point theory for generalized contractions in cone metric spaces

In this paper, we prove some fixed point theorems for generalized contractions in cone metric spaces. Our theorems extend some results of Suzuki (2008) [T. Suzuki, A generalized Banach contraction principle that characterizes metric completeness, Proc Amer Math Soc 136(5) (2008), 1861-1869] and Kikkawa and Suzuki (2008) [M. Kikkawa and T. Suzuki, Three fixed point theorems for generalized contractions with constants in complete metric spaces, Nonlinear Anal 69(9) (2008), 2942-2949].
