Study on median algebra structures on Euclidean spaces and manifolds with local CAT(0) cubulation.

Three themes of general topology: quotient spaces; absolute retracts; and inverse limits - are reapproached here in the setting of metrizable uniform spaces, with an eye to applications in geometric and algebraic topology. The results include: 1) If f: A -> Y is a uniformly continuous map, where X and Y are metric spac…

Spaces containing compact subsets with polyhedral complements are studied.

Introduces fine shape theory to simplify shape and antishape invariants.

We prove a generalization of the Edwards-Walsh Resolution Theorem: Theorem: Let G be an abelian group for which $P_G$ equals the set of all primes $\mathbb{P}$, where $P_G=\{p \in \mathbb{P}: \Z_{(p)}\in$ Bockstein Basis $σ(G)\}$. Let n in N and let K be a connected CW-complex with $π_n(K)\cong G$, $π_k(K)\cong 0$ for…

Study of homology commutativity in separable metrizable spaces.

It is proved that no region of a homogeneous locally compact, locally connected metric space can be cut by an $F_σ$-subset of a "smaller" dimension. The result applies to different finite or infinite topological dimensions of metrizable spaces.

It is proved that for a 3-dimensional compact metrizable space X the infinite real projective space is an absolute extensor of X if and only if the real projective plane is an absolute extensor of X.

In this paper we study the invariant metrizability and projective metrizability problems for the special case of the geodesic spray associated to the canonical connection of a Lie group. We prove that such canonical spray is projectively Finsler metrizable if and only if it is Riemann metrizable. This result means that…

Characterizes kernels for forecasting and distinguishes between distributions.

Study of non-metrizable manifolds' ends, generalizing Nyikos's theorem.

We compactify the classical moduli variety of compact Riemann surfaces by attaching moduli of (metrized) graphs as boundary. The compactifications do not admit the structure of varieties and patch together to form a big connected moduli space in which $\sqcup_{g} M_{g}$ is open dense. The metrized graphs, which are oft…

Reconstruct cohomology and homology from compact subsets and nerves.

Study on metrizability and Ricci-flatness of Finsler spaces with Kropina metrics.

We prove that for a compact subgroup $H$ of a locally compact Hausdorff group $G$, the following properties are mutually equivalent: (1) $G/H$ is a manifold, (2) $G/H$ is finite-dimensional and locally connected, (3) $G/H$ is locally contractible, (4) $G/H$ is an ANE for paracompact spaces, (5) $G/H$ is a metrizable $G…

Bredon has constructed a 2-dimensional compact cohomology manifold which is not homologically locally connected, with respect to the singular homology. In the present paper we construct infinitely many such examples (which are in addition metrizable spaces) in all remaining dimensions $n \ge 3$.

We show that the classical example $X$ of a 3-dimensional generalized manifold constructed by van Kampen is another example of not homologically locally connected (i.e. not HLC) space. This space $X$ is not locally homeomorphic to any of the compact metrizable 3-dimensional manifolds constructed in our earlier paper wh…

Study investigates metrizability of Finsler spaces with specific metrics.

We introduce the group-compact coarse structure on a Hausdorff topological group in the context of coarse structures on an abstract group which are compatible with the group operations. We develop asymptotic dimension theory for the group-compact coarse structure generalizing several familiar results for discrete group…

The metrizability problem for a symmetric affine connection on a manifold, invariant with respect to a group of diffeomorphisms G, is considered. We say that the connection is G-metrizable, if it is expressible as the Levi-Civita connection of a G-invariant metric field. In this paper we analyze the G-metrizability equ…

The paper explores non-metrizability of projective deformations of Finsler sprays.

The paper proves metrizability and dynamics of Weil bundles.

Endowed with quotient topology inherited from the space of based loops, the fundamental group of the Hawaiian earring fails to be metrizable. The fundamental group of any space which retracts to the Hawaiian earring is also nonmetrizable.

Let X be a G-space such that the orbit space X/G is metrizable. Suppose a family of slices is given at each point of X. We study a construction which associates, under some conditions on the family of slices, with any metric on X/G an invariant metric on X. We show also that a family of slices with the required propert…

A class of metrizable vector bundles in the general framework of generalized Lie algebroids have been presented in the eight reference. Using a generalized Lie algebroid we obtain the Lie algebroid generalized tangent bundle of a vector bundle. This Lie algebroid is a new example of metrizable vector bundle. A new clas…

The paper proves a Whitehead theorem for fine shape spaces.

Two new classes of metrizable vector bundles have been presented in the papers [1] and [4]. The Lie algebroid generalized tangent bundle of a dual vector bundle is presented. This Lie algebroid is a new example of metrizable vector bundle. A new class of Hamilton spaces, called by use, generalized Hamilton (ρ,η)-space,…

The projective metrizability problem can be formulated as follows: under what conditions the geodesics of a given spray coincide with the geodesics of some Finsler space, as oriented curves. In Theorem 3.8 we reformulate the projective metrizability problem for a spray in terms of a first-order partial differential ope…

Overlays were introduced by R. H. Fox [6] as a subclass of covering maps. We offer a different view of overlays: it resembles the definition of paracompact spaces via star refinements of open covers. One introduces covering structures for covering maps and $p:X\to Y$ is an overlay if it has a covering structure that ha…

We say that a metrizable space $M$ is a Krasinkiewicz space if any map from a metrizable compactum $X$ into $M$ can be approximated by Krasinkiewicz maps (a map $g\colon X\to M$ is Krasinkiewicz provided every continuum in $X$ is either contained in a fiber of $g$ or contains a component of a fiber of $g$). In this pap…

The Bergman measure converges to the Zhang measure on a hybrid space.

3D projective structures can be metrized with conformal structures.

We extend the definition of Bockstein basis $σ(G)$ to nilpotent groups $G$. A metrizable space $X$ is called a {\it Bockstein space} if $\dim_G(X) = \sup\{\dim_H(X) | H\in σ(G)\}$ for all Abelian groups $G$. Bockstein First Theorem says that all compact spaces are Bockstein spaces. Here are the main results of the pape…

Several authors have pointed out the connection between Barbilian's metric introduced in 1934 and the recent study of Apollonian metrics. We provide examples of various distances that can be obtained by Barbilian's metrization procedure and we discuss the relation between this metrization procedure and important Rieman…

We define a moduli space of translation structures on the open topological disk with a basepoint and endow it with a locally-compact metrizable topology. We call this the immersive topology, because it is defined using the concept of immersions: continuous maps between subsets of translation surfaces that respect the b…

In this paper we characterize sprays that are metrizable by Finsler functions of constant flag curvature. By solving a particular case of the Finsler metrizability problem we provide the necessary and sufficient conditions that can be used to decide whether or not a given homogeneous system of second order ordinary dif…

PhD dissertation on Finsler geometry and gravity, focusing on Berwald spaces and exact solutions.

A linear connection $D$ in a Lie algebroid is said to be metrizable if there exists a Riemannian metric $h$ in the Lie algebroid such that $Dh=0$. Conditions for the linear connection $D$ to be metrizable are investigated.
