Let Gk(PSp(2)) and Gk(PSp(3)) be the gauge groups of principal PSp(2)-bundles over S8 and principal PSp(3)-bundles over S4 classified by kε1′ and kε2′, where ε1′ and ε2′ are generators of π8(BPSp(2))≅Z and π4(BPSp(3))≅Z, respectively. In this article we partially classify the homotopy types for these gauge groups.

Linear systems over Z[Q32] and roots of maps of some 3-complexes into MQ32 Topol. Appl. (IF 0.531) Pub Date : 2020-12-30 Claudemir Aniz
Let Z[Q32] be the group ring where Q32=〈x,y|x8=y2,xyx=y〉 is the quaternion group of order 32 and ε the augmentation map. We show that, if PX=K(x−1) and PX=K(−xy+1) has solution over Z[Q32] and all m×m minors of ε(P) are relatively prime, then the linear system PX=K has a solution over Z[Q32]. As a consequence of such results, we show that there is no map f:W→MQ32 that is strongly surjective, i.e.,

Clopen objects, connected objects, and normalized topological categories Topol. Appl. (IF 0.531) Pub Date : 2021-01-07 Jay Stine
In this paper we extend the notion of a clopen subset of a topological space to that of a clopen subobject in a topological category. We relate clopen subobjects to the concept of normalized topological category via a theorem which, in turn, shows why certain subsets must be clopen in a topological space. We employ clopen subobjects to extend the topological notion of connectedness to topological categories

On metrizability and compactness of certain products without the Axiom of Choice Topol. Appl. (IF 0.531) Pub Date : 2021-01-07 Paul Howard; Eleftherios Tachtsis
We prove that there exists a model of ZF (Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory without the Axiom of Choice (AC)) in which there is a compact, metrizable, non-second countable, Cantor cube. This answers in the affirmative an open question by E. Wajch (2018) [15]. Furthermore, we strengthen a result in the above paper, namely “Countable products of metrizable spaces are quasi-metrizable implies van Douwen's Choice

2-stratifolds with fundamental group Z Topol. Appl. (IF 0.531) Pub Date : 2021-01-08 J.C. Gómez-Larrañaga; F. González-Acuña; Wolfgang Heil
2-stratifolds are a generalization of 2-manifolds that occur as objects in applications such as in TDA. These spaces can be described by an associated bicoloured labelled graph. In previous papers we obtained a classification of 1-connected trivalent 2-stratifolds. In this paper we classify trivalent 2-stratifolds that have fundamental group Z. This classification implicitly gives an efficient algorithm

Primitive, proper power, and Seifert curves in the boundary of a genus two handlebody Topol. Appl. (IF 0.531) Pub Date : 2021-01-05 Sungmo Kang
A simple closed curve α in the boundary of a genus two handlebody H is primitive if adding a 2-handle to H along α yields a solid torus. If adding a 2-handle to H along α yields a Seifert-fibered space and not a solid torus, the curve is called Seifert. If α is disjoint from an essential separating disk in H, does not bound a disk in H, and is not primitive in H, then it is said to be proper power

The hit problem for the polynomial algebra in some weight vectors Topol. Appl. (IF 0.531) Pub Date : 2021-01-05 Nguyễn Sum; Nguyễn Khắc Tín
Let Pk:=F2[x1,x2,…,xk] be the polynomial algebra over the prime field of two elements, F2, in k variables x1,x2,…,xk, each of degree 1. We study the hit problem, set up by Frank Peterson, of finding a minimal set of generators for Pk as a module over the mod-2 Steenrod algebra. In this paper, we extend a result in [12] on the hit problem in degree (k−1)(2d−1) with k⩾6, by explicitly computing the hit

The ring of stable homotopy classes of self-maps of An2-polyhedra Topol. Appl. (IF 0.531) Pub Date : 2021-01-12 David Méndez
We raise the problem of realisability of rings as {X,X} the ring of stable homotopy classes of self-maps of a space X. By focusing on An2-polyhedra, we show that the direct sum of three endomorphism rings of abelian groups, one of which must be free, is realisable as {X,X} modulo the acyclic maps. We also show that Fp3 is not realisable in the setting of finite type An2-polyhedra, for p any prime.

Discrete line fields on surfaces Topol. Appl. (IF 0.531) Pub Date : 2021-01-11 Tiago Novello; João Paixão; Carlos Tomei; Thomas Lewiner
Vector fields and line fields, their counterparts without orientations on tangent lines, are familiar objects in the theory of dynamical systems. Among the techniques used in their study, the Morse–Smale decomposition of a (generic) field plays a fundamental role, relating the geometric structure of phase space to a combinatorial object consisting of critical points and separatrices. Such concepts

Expansive systems on lattices Topol. Appl. (IF 0.531) Pub Date : 2020-12-30 Mauricio Achigar
We study expansive dynamical systems in the setting of distributive lattices and their automorphisms, the usual notion of expansiveness for a homeomorphism of a compact metric space being the particular case when the lattice is the topology of the phase space ordered by inclusion and the automorphism the one induced by the homeomorphism, mapping open sets to open sets. We prove in this context generalizations

Effective topological complexity of orientable-surface groups Topol. Appl. (IF 0.531) Pub Date : 2021-01-04 Natalia Cadavid-Aguilar; Jesús González
We use rewriting systems to spell out cup-products in the (twisted) cohomology groups of a product of surface groups. This allows us to detect a non-trivial obstruction bounding from below the effective topological complexity of an orientable surface with respect to its antipodal involution. Our estimates are at most one unit from being optimal, and are closely related to the (regular) topological

Menger and Menger-type star selection principles for hit-and-miss topology Topol. Appl. (IF 0.531) Pub Date : 2020-12-28 Ricardo Cruz-Castillo; Alejandro Ramírez-Páramo; Jesús F. Tenorio
In this paper we characterize the Menger property and the selection principles star-Menger and strongly star-Menger in the hyperspaces CL(X), K(X), F(X) and CS(X), endowed with the hit-and-miss topology. To characterize the corresponding principles type star, we introduce a couple of technical selection principles, which we have denoted by SM(ΠΔ(Γ),ΠΔ(Γ)) and SM⁎(ΠΔ(Γ),ΠΔ(Γ)). Also, we give an equivalence

Beyond Erdős-Kunen-Mauldin: Shift-compactness properties and Singular sets Topol. Appl. (IF 0.531) Pub Date : 2021-01-09 H.I. Miller; L. Miller-Van Wieren; A.J. Ostaszewski
The Kestelman-Borwein-Ditor Theorem asserts that a non-negligible subset of R which is Baire (= has the Baire property, BP) or measurable is shift-compact: it contains some subsequence of any null sequence to within translation by an element of the set. Here effective proofs are recognized to yield (i) analogous category and Haar-measure metrizable generalizations for Baire groups and locally compact

A topological group G is M-factorizable if for every continuous real-valued function f on G, one can find a continuous homomorphism π:G→H onto a metrizable topological group H and a continuous function h on H such that f=h∘π. We continue the study of M-factorizability in topological groups started in Zhang et al. (2020) [14], with a special emphasis on P-groups, i.e., the groups in which all Gδ-sets

Cofinal completion vis-á-vis Cauchy continuity and total boundedness Topol. Appl. (IF 0.531) Pub Date : 2020-12-31 Lipsy Gupta; S. Kundu
A function f from a metric space (X,d) to another metric space (Y,ρ) is said to be Cauchy-continuous if for every Cauchy sequence (xn) in (X,d), (f(xn)) is Cauchy in (Y,ρ). It is well known that a metric space is complete if and only if every real-valued continuous function defined on it is Cauchy-continuous. Here we consider a well-studied intermediate class of metric spaces which lies between the

The embedded template is a geometric tool in dynamics being used to model knots and links as periodic orbits of 3-dimensional flows. We prove that for an embedded template in S3 with fixed homeomorphism type, its boundary as a trivalent spatial graph is a complete isotopic invariant. Moreover, we construct an invariant of embedded templates by Kauffman's invariant of spatial graphs, which is a set

An algebraically fibering group is an algebraic generalization of the fibered 3-manifold group in higher dimensions. Let M(P) and M(E) be the cusped and compact hyperbolic real moment-angled manifolds associated with the hyperbolic right-angled 24-cell P and the hyperbolic right-angled 120-cell E, respectively.

The R∞-property for right-angled Artin groups Topol. Appl. (IF 0.531) Pub Date : 2021-01-07 Karel Dekimpe; Pieter Senden
Given a group G and an automorphism φ of G, two elements x,y∈G are said to be φ-conjugate if x=gyφ(g)−1 for some g∈G. The number of equivalence classes is the Reidemeister number R(φ) of φ, and if R(φ)=∞ for all automorphisms of G, then G is said to have the R∞-property. A finite simple graph Γ gives rise to the right-angled Artin group AΓ, which has as generators the vertices of Γ and as relations

Our main objective is to study g-reversible groups introduced in Chatyrko and Shakhmatov (2020) [3]. We first give a necessary and sufficient condition for a locally compact group with an open compact subgroup to be g-reversible, it can be applied to give complete solutions of Questions 8.5, 9.7, 9.8, and Problem 9.6 in the previous article [3]. We also investigate g-reversibility of some precompact

Given a metric continumm X, let CB(X) be the hyperspace of subcontinua of X with connected boundary. In this paper we present results concerning CB(X), first about continua for which every subcontinuum has connected boundary. Then we study continua that only have one-point sets as connected boundary proper subcontinua. Later we include characterizations of arcs and simple closed curves. Finally we

The use of Cauchy's method to prove Euler's well-known formula is an object of many controversies. The purpose of this paper is to prove that Cauchy's method applies for convex polyhedra and not only for them, but also for surfaces such as the torus, the projective plane, the Klein bottle and the pinched torus.

Let Topd, Topw and Sob be the category of all d-spaces, that of all well-filtered spaces and that of all sober spaces respectively. For a full subcategory K of Topd containing Sob, it is proved that the product of an arbitrary family of K-determined sets is a K-determined set and if K is adequate, then the K-reflection preserves arbitrary products of T0 spaces. In particular, the Keimel-Lawson reflection

Preimage homomorphism indices of preimage classes Topol. Appl. (IF 0.531) Pub Date : 2020-12-30 Ku Yong Ha; Jong Bum Lee
Under finite regular covering spaces, each preimage class of the base spaces is covered by some preimage classes of the covering spaces. We find an explicit relationship between those preimage classes in terms of covering transformation groups. Thereby we obtain a relationship of the homomorphism indices between them in terms of covering transformation groups. This is a local averaging formula and

In this paper, we investigate the special Kähler geometry of the base of the Hitchin integrable system in terms of spectral curves. We give explicit formulas of the metric for some special cases by using the affine coordinates introduced by Freed in 1999. We also find that the Taylor expansion of the special Kähler metric about any point in the base may be computed by topological recursion.

In [2], T. Bartsch provided detailed and broad exposition of a numerical cohomological index theory for G-spaces, known as the length, where G is a compact Lie group. We present the length of G-spaces which are cohomology spheres and G is a p-torus or a torus group, where p is a prime. As a consequence, we obtain Borsuk-Ulam and Bourgin-Yang type theorems in this context. A sharper version of the Bourgin-Yang

Let n≥3. In this paper we deal with the conjugacy problem in the Artin braid group quotient Bn/[Pn,Pn].

Using this technique we also realize explicitly infinite virtually cyclic subgroups in Bn/[Pn,Pn].

This work is devoted to the metrization of probabilistic spaces. More precisely, given such a space (G,D,⋆) and provided that the triangle function ⋆ is continuous, we exhibit an explicit and canonical metric σD on G such that the associated topology is homeomorphic to the so-called strong topology. As applications, we make advantage of this explicit metric to present some fixed point theorems on such

Algorithms for twisted conjugacy classes of polycyclic-by-finite groups Topol. Appl. (IF 0.531) Pub Date : 2020-12-23 Karel Dekimpe; Sam Tertooy
We construct two practical algorithms for twisted conjugacy classes of polycyclic groups. The first algorithm determines whether two elements of a group are twisted conjugate for two given endomorphisms, under the condition that their Reidemeister coincidence number is finite. The second algorithm determines representatives of the Reidemeister coincidence classes of two endomorphisms if their Reidemeister

Length of a chain composed by certain monoids of self maps Topol. Appl. (IF 0.531) Pub Date : 2020-12-18 Ho Won Choi; Kee Young Lee
For a based CW-complex X, A♯n(X) is the submonoid of [X,X] which consists of all homotopy classes of self-maps of X that induce an automorphism on πk(X) for all 0≤k≤n. Since, for m

Ribbonness of a stable-ribbon surface-link, I. A stably trivial surface-link Topol. Appl. (IF 0.531) Pub Date : 2020-12-16 Akio Kawauchi
There is a question asking whether a handle-irreducible summand of every stable-ribbon surface-link is a unique ribbon surface-link. This question for the case of a trivial surface-link is affirmatively answered. That is, a handle-irreducible summand of every stably trivial surface-link is only a trivial 2-link. By combining this result with an old result of F. Hosowaka and the author that every surface-knot

Planar embeddings of Minc's continuum and generalizations Topol. Appl. (IF 0.531) Pub Date : 2020-12-16 Ana Anušić
We show that if f:I→I is piecewise monotone, post-critically finite, and locally eventually onto, then for every point there exists a planar embedding of X such that x is accessible. In particular, every point x in Minc's continuum XM from [11, Question 19 p. 335] can be embedded accessibly. All constructed embeddings are thin, i.e., can be covered by an arbitrary small chain of open sets which are

Row relations of twisted Alexander matrices and shadow quandle 2-cocycles Topol. Appl. (IF 0.531) Pub Date : 2020-12-16 Atsushi Ishii; Kanako Oshiro
An Alexander pair (f1,f2) and an (f1,f2)-twisted 2-cocycle can be used to define a generalization of twisted Alexander matrices and twisted Alexander invariants. In this paper, we introduce row relation maps with respect to Alexander pairs, and we show the following two properties: First, a row relation map gives a linear relation among the row vectors of an (f1,f2)-twisted Alexander matrix. Second
