Given a theory T extending that of dense linear orders without endpoints (DLO), in a language ℒ ⊇ {<}, we are interested in extensions T′ of T in languages extending ℒ by unary relation symbols that are each interpreted in models of T′ as sets that are both dense and codense in the underlying sets of the models.There is a canonically “wild” example, namely T = Th(〈ℝ, <, +, ·〉) and T′ = Th(〈ℝ, <, +, · ℚ 〉). Recall that T is o-minimal, and so every open set definable in any model of T has only finitely many definably connected components. But it is well known that 〈ℝ, <, +, · ℚ 〉 defines every real Borel set, in particular, every open subset of any finite cartesian power of ℝ and every subset of any finite cartesian power of ℚ. To put this another way, the definable open sets in models of T are essentially as simple as possible, while T′ has a model where the definable open sets are as complicated as possible, as is the structure induced on the new predicate.In contrast to the preceding example, if ℝalg is the set of real algebraic numbers and T′ Th(〈ℝ, <, +, ·, 〈alg〉), then no model of T′ defines any open set (of any arity) that is not definable in the underlying model of T.

The topological properties of classes of generally convex sets in multidimensional real Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\ge 2$, known as $m$-convex and weakly $m$-convex, $1\le m<n$, are studied in the present work. A set of the space $\mathbb{R}^n$ is called \textbf{\emph{$m$-convex}} if for any point of the complement of the set to the whole space there is an $m$-dimensional plane passing through this point and not intersecting the set. An open set of the space is called \textbf{\emph{weakly $m$-convex}}, if for any point of the boundary of the set there exists an $m$-dimensional plane passing through this point and not intersecting the given set. A closed set of the space is called \textbf{\emph{weakly $m$-convex}} if it is approximated from the outside by a family of open weakly $m$-convex sets. These notions were proposed by Professor Yuri Zelinskii. It is known the topological classification of (weakly) $(n-1)$-convex sets in the space $\mathbb{R}^n$ with smooth boundary. Each such a set is convex, or consists of no more than two unbounded connected components, or is given by the Cartesian product $E^1\times \mathbb{R}^{n-1}$, where $E^1$ is a subset of $\mathbb{R}$. Any open $m$-convex set is obviously weakly $m$-convex. The opposite statement is wrong in general. It is established that there exist open sets in $\mathbb{R}^n$ that are weakly $(n-1)$-convex but not $(n-1)$-convex, and that such sets consist of not less than three connected components. The main results of the work are two theorems. The first of them establishes the fact that for compact weakly $(n-1)$-convex and not $(n-1)$-convex sets in the space $\mathbb{R}^n$, the same lower bound for the number of their connected components is true as in the case of open sets. In particular, the examples of open and closed weakly $(n-1)$-convex and not $(n-1)$-convex sets with three and more connected components are constructed for this purpose. And it is also proved that any compact weakly $m$-convex and not $m$-convex set of the space $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\ge 2$, $1\le m<n$, can be approximated from the outside by a family of open weakly $m$-convex and not $m$-convex sets with the same number of connected components as the closed set has. The second theorem establishes the existence of weakly $m$-convex and not $m$-convex domains, $1\le m<n-1$, $n\ge 3$, in the spaces $\mathbb{R}^n$. First, examples of weakly $1$-convex and not $1$-convex domains $E^p\subset\mathbb{R}^p$ for any $p\ge3$, are constructed. Then, it is proved that the domain $E^p\times\mathbb{R}^{m-1}\subset\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\ge 3$, $1\le m<n-1$, is weakly $m$-convex and not $m$-convex.

M. K. Singal and Asha Rani Singal have defined an almost-continuous functionf:X→Yto be one in which for eachx∈Xand each regular-open setVcontainingf(x), there exists an openUcontainingxsuch thatf(U)⊂V. A spaceYmay now be defined to be almost-continuous path connected if for eachy0,y1∈Ythere exists an almost-continuousf:I→Ysuch thatf(0)=y0andf(1)=y1An investigation of these spaces is made culminating in a theorem showing when the almost-continuous path connected components coincide with the usual components ofY.

AbstractLetTbe a bounded operator on a complex Banach spaceX. LetVbe an open subset of the complex plane. We give a condition sufficient for the mappingf(z)↦ (T−z)f(z) to have closed range in the Fréchet spaceH(V,X) of analyticX-valued functions onV. Moreover, we show that there is a largest open setUfor which the mapf(z)↦ (T−z)f(z) has closed range inH(V,X) for allV⊆U. Finally, we establish analogous results in the setting of the weak–* topology onH(V, X*).



A theory of descriptive Baire sets is developed for an arbitrary completely regular space. It is shown that descriptive Baire sets are Baire sets and that they form a system closed under countable union, countable intersection and intersection with a Baire set. If a descriptive Borel set (Rogers 1965) is a Baire set then it is a descriptive Baire set. If every open set is a countable union of closed sets, the descriptive Baire sets coincide with the descriptive Borel sets. It follows, in particular, that in a metric space a set is descriptive Baire, if, and only if, it is absolutely Borel and Lindelöf.

Let M be an n-dimensional connected topological manifold. Let ξ : M → Rn+1 be a continuous map with the following property: to each x ∈ M there is an open set x ∈ Ux ⊂ M, and a convex body Kx ⊂ Rn+1 such that ξ(UX) is an open subset of ∂Kx and such that is a homeomorphism onto its image. We shall call such a mapping ξ a locally convex immersion and, along with Van Heijenoort [8] we shall call ξ(M) a locally convex hypersurface of Rn+1.

Let X be a non-compact Riemann surface and D ⊂ X an open subset. By a classical result due to Behnke and Stein [2] D is Runge in X (i.e. the restriction map has dense image) iff X\D has no compact connected components. In other words the obstruction to holomorphic approximation is purely topological. This result has been generalized to 1-dimensional Stein spaces by Mihalache in [11].

AbstractLetGbe a connected perfect real Lie group. We show that there exists α < dimGandp∈$\mathbb{N}$* such that if μ is a compactly supported α-Frostman Borel measure onG, then thepth convolution power μ*pis absolutely continuous with respect to the Haar measure onG, with arbitrarily smooth density. As an application, we obtain that ifA⊂Gis a Borel set with Hausdorff dimension at least α, then thep-fold product setApcontains a non-empty open set.

AbstractWe study a family of surfaces of general type with $$p_g=q=2$$ p g = q = 2 and $$K^2=7$$ K 2 = 7 , originally constructed by C. Rito in [35]. We provide an alternative construction of these surfaces, that allows us to describe their Albanese map and the corresponding locus $$\mathcal {M}$$ M in the moduli space of surfaces of general type. In particular we prove that $$\mathcal {M}$$ M is an open subset, and it has three connected components, all of which are 2-dimensional, irreducible and generically smooth

Abstract Let F be a non-separable LF-space homeomorphic to the direct sum , where . It is proved that every open subset U of F is homeomorphic to the product |K| × F for some locally finite-dimensional simplicial complex K such that every vertex v ∈ K(0) has the star St(v, K) with card St(v, K)(0) < 𝒯 = sup 𝒯n (and card K(0) ≤ 𝒯 ), and, conversely, if K is such a simplicial complex, then the product |K| × F can be embedded in F as an open set, where |K| is the polyhedron of K with the metric topology.

Let $u$ be a supertemperature on an open set $E$, and let $v$ be a related temperature on an open subset $D$ of $E$. For example, $v$ could be the greatest thermic minorant of $u$ on $D$, if it exists. Putting $w=u$ on $E\setminus D$ and $w=v$ on $D$, we investigate whether $w$, or its lower semicontinuous smoothing, is a supertemperature on $E$. We also give a representation of the greatest thermic minorant on $E$, if it exists, in terms of PWB solutions on an expanding sequence of open subsets of $E$ with union $E$.  In addition, in the case of a nonnegative supertemperature, we prove inequalities that relate reductions to Dirichlet solutions. We also prove that the value of any reduction at a given time depends only on earlier times.
