Space-filling vs. Luzin's condition (N)

2013

Let us assume that we are given two metric spaces, where the Hausdorff dimension of the first space is strictly smaller than the one of the second space. Suppose further that the first space has sigma-finite measure with respect to the Hausdorff measure of the corresponding dimension. We show for quite general metric spaces that for any measurable surjection from the first onto the second space, there is a set of measure zero that is mapped to a set of positive measure (both measures are the Hausdorff measures corresponding to the Hausdorff dimension of the first space). We also study more general situations where the measures on the two metric spaces are not necessarily the same and not ne…

A non-g-contractible uniformly path connected continuum

1999

Abstract An example of a uniformly path connected, plane continuum P is constructed and proved to admit no continuous surjection onto P homotopic to the constant map. This answers a question of D.P. Bellamy in the negative.

Perturbations of surjective convolution operators

2002

Let μ 1 and μ 2 be (ultra)distributions with compact support which have disjoint singular supports. We assume that the convolution operator f → μ 1 *f is surjective when it acts on a space of functions or (ultra)distributions, and we investigate whether the perturbed convolution operator f→ (μ 1 + μ 2 ) * f is surjective. In particular we solve in the negative a question asked by Abramczuk in 1984.

An extension of the Burrows-Wheeler Transform and applications to sequence comparison and data compression

2005

We introduce a generalization of the Burrows-Wheeler Transform (BWT) that can be applied to a multiset of words. The extended transformation, denoted by E, is reversible, but, differently from BWT, it is also surjective. The E transformation allows to give a definition of distance between two sequences, that we apply here to the problem of the whole mitochondrial genome phylogeny. Moreover we give some consideration about compressing a set of words by using the E transformation as preprocessing.

The surjective hull of a polynomial ideal

2016

The aim of this paper is the study of surjective ideals of homogeneous polynomials between Banach spaces. To do so we define the surjective hull of a polynomial ideal and prove the main properties of this hull procedure. For a more comprehensive theory, new lifting properties of homogeneous polynomials are proved and applied to the description of the surjective hulls of the ideals of I-bounded polynomials and of composition polynomials ideals. Several applications are provided.

Butterflies in a Semi-Abelian Context

2011

It is known that monoidal functors between internal groupoids in the category Grp of groups constitute the bicategory of fractions of the 2-category Grpd(Grp) of internal groupoids, internal functors and internal natural transformations in Grp, with respect to weak equivalences (that is, internal functors which are internally fully faithful and essentially surjective on objects). Monoidal functors can be equivalently described by a kind of weak morphisms introduced by B. Noohi under the name of butterflies. In order to internalize monoidal functors in a wide context, we introduce the notion of internal butterflies between internal crossed modules in a semi-abelian category C, and we show th…

Albanese Maps and Fundamental Groups of Varieties With Many Rational Points Over Function Fields

2020

We investigate properties of the Albanese map and the fundamental group of a complex projective variety with many rational points over some function field, and prove that every linear quotient of the fundamental group of such a variety is virtually abelian, as well as that its Albanese map is surjective, has connected fibres, and has no multiple fibres in codimension one.

Finiteness properties of pseudo-hyperbolic varieties

2019

Motivated by Lang-Vojta's conjecture, we show that the set of dominant rational self-maps of an algebraic variety over a number field with only finitely many rational points in any given number field is finite by combining Amerik's theorem for dynamical systems of infinite order with properties of Prokhorov-Shramov's notion of quasi-minimal models. We also prove a similar result in the geometric setting by using again Amerik's theorem and Prokhorov-Shramov's notion of quasi-minimal model, but also Weil's regularization theorem for birational self-maps and properties of dynamical degrees. Furthermore, in the geometric setting, we obtain an analogue of Kobayashi-Ochiai's finiteness result for…

Cox ring of the generic fiber

2017

Abstract Given a surjective morphism π : X → Y of normal varieties satisfying some regularity hypotheses we prove how to recover a Cox ring of the generic fiber of π from the Cox ring of X. As a corollary we show that in some cases it is also possible to recover the Cox ring of a very general fiber, and finally we give an application in the case of the blowing-up of a toric fiber space.

2021

Abstract We extend the classical Carathéodory extension theorem to quasiconformal Jordan domains (Y, dY ). We say that a metric space (Y, dY ) is a quasiconformal Jordan domain if the completion ̄Y of (Y, dY ) has finite Hausdorff 2-measure, the boundary ∂Y = ̄Y \ Y is homeomorphic to 𝕊1, and there exists a homeomorphism ϕ: 𝔻 →(Y, dY ) that is quasiconformal in the geometric sense. We show that ϕ has a continuous, monotone, and surjective extension Φ: 𝔻 ̄ → Y ̄. This result is best possible in this generality. In addition, we find a necessary and sufficient condition for Φ to be a quasiconformal homeomorphism. We provide sufficient conditions for the restriction of Φ to 𝕊1 being a quasi…
