Uniformization of metric surfaces using isothermal coordinates

We establish a uniformization result for metric surfaces – metric spaces that are topological surfaces with locally finite Hausdorff 2-measure. Using the geometric definition of quasiconformality, we show that a metric surface that can be covered by quasiconformal images of Euclidean domains is quasiconformally equivalent to a Riemannian surface. To prove this, we construct an atlas of suitable isothermal coordinates.

Decomposition, Mapping, and Sum Theorems of ω-Paracompact Topological Spaces

As a weaker form of ω-paracompactness, the notion of σ-ω-paracompactness is introduced. Furthermore, as a weaker form of σ-ω-paracompactness, the notion of feebly ω-paracompactness is introduced. It is proven hereinthat locally countable topological spaces are feebly ω-paracompact. Furthermore, it is proven hereinthat countably ω-paracompact σ-ω-paracompact topological spaces are ω-paracompact. Furthermore, it is proven hereinthat σ-ω-paracompactness is inverse invariant under perfect mappings with countable fibers, and as a result, is proven hereinthat ω-paracompactness is inverse invariant under perfect mappings with countable fibers. Furthermore, if A is a locally finite closed covering of a topological space X,τ with each A∈A being ω-paracompact and normal, then X,τ is ω-paracompact and normal, and as a corollary, a sum theorem for ω-paracompact normal topological spaces follows. Moreover, three open questions are raised.

Semi- I -Expandable Ideal Topological Spaces

Our purpose is to introduce the notion of semi- I -expandable ideal topological spaces. Some properties of semi- I -locally finite collections are investigated. In particular, several characterizations of semi- I -expandable ideal topological spaces are established.

Entropy, products, and bounded orbit equivalence

We prove that if two topologically free and entropy regular actions of countable sofic groups on compact metrizable spaces are continuously orbit equivalent, and each group either (i) contains a w-normal amenable subgroup which is neither locally finite nor virtually cyclic, or (ii) is a non-locally-finite product of two infinite groups, then the actions have the same sofic topological entropy. This fact is then used to show that if two free uniquely ergodic and entropy regular probability-measure-preserving actions of such groups are boundedly orbit equivalent then the actions have the same sofic measure entropy. Our arguments are based on a relativization of property SC to sofic approximations and yield more general entropy inequalities.

Some Examples of Nonassociative Coalgebras and Supercoalgebras

Locally finiteness of some varieties of nonassociative coalgebras is studied and the Gelfand-Dorfman construction for Novikov coalgebras and the Kantor construction for Jordan super-coalgebras are given. We give examples of a non-locally finite differential coalgebra, Novikov coalgebra, Lie coalgebra, Jordan super-coalgebra, and right-alternative coalgebra. The dual algebra of each of these examples satisfies very strong additional identities. We also constructed examples of an infinite dimensional simple differential coalgebra, Novikov coalgebra, Lie coalgebra, and Jordan super-coalgebra over a field of characteristic zero.

Reduced finitary incidence algebras and their automorphisms

Let [Formula: see text] denote the incidence algebra of a locally finite poset [Formula: see text] over a field [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] some equivalence relation on the set of generators of [Formula: see text]. Then [Formula: see text] is the subset of [Formula: see text] of all the elements that are constant on the equivalence classes of [Formula: see text]. If [Formula: see text] satisfies certain conditions, then [Formula: see text] is a subalgebra of [Formula: see text] called a reduced incidence algebra. We extend this notion to finitary incidence algebras [Formula: see text] for any poset [Formula: see text]. We investigate reduced finitary incidence algebras [Formula: see text] and determine their automorphisms in some special cases.

Criteria of closedness of nilradicals in zero dimensional locally compact rings

We study in this paper conditions under which nilradicals of totally disconnected locally compact rings are closed. In the paper is given a characterization of locally finite compact rings via identities.
