The record of the diatom Cymbella australica (A.Schmidt) Cl. in water bodies of Kyiv (Ukraine)

The diatom Cymbella australica was found in some water bodies in research of the algaeflora of Kyiv. The Kyiv population of this species had some discrepancies with the diagnosis (Krammer, 2002) of cell size and coarse structure, which brought it closer to C. tumida (Bréb.) Van Heurck. However, the outlines of the sash clearly separated the Kyiv population of C. australica from C. tumida. It is proposed to expand the diagnosis of C. australica and to consider cell outlines as the only discriminatory feature between C. australica and C. tumida.

Selectors and orderings of coarse spaces

Given a coarse space $(X, \mathcal{E})$, we consider linear orders on $X$ compatible with the coarse structure $\mathcal E$ and explore interplays between these orders and macro-uniform selectors of $(X, \mathcal{E})$.

Finitary approximations of coarse structures

A coarse structure $ \mathcal{E}$ on a set $X$ is called finitary if, for each entourage $E\in \mathcal{E}$, there exists a natural number $n$ such that $ E[x]< n $ for each $x\in X$. By a finitary approximation of a coarse structure $ \mathcal{E}^\prime$, we mean any finitary coarse structure $ \mathcal{E}$ such that $ \mathcal{E}\subseteq \mathcal{E}^\prime$.If $\mathcal{E}^\prime$ has a countable base and $E[x]$ is finite for each $x\in X$ then $ \mathcal{E}^\prime$has a cellular finitary approximation $ \mathcal{E}$ such that the relations of linkness on subsets of $( X,\mathcal{E}^\prime)$ and $( X, \mathcal{E})$ coincide.This answers Question 6 from [8]: the class of cellular coarse spaces is not stable under linkness. We define and apply the strongest finitary approximation of a coarse structure.

Coarse structures on groups defined by conjugations

For a group G, we denote by G↔ the coarse space on G endowed with the coarse structure with the base {{(x,y)∈G×G:y∈xF}:F∈[G]<ω}, xF={z−1xz:z∈F}. Our goal is to explore interplays between algebraic properties of G and asymptotic properties of G↔. In particular, we show that asdim G↔=0 if and only if G/ZG is locally finite, ZG is the center of G. For an infinite group G, the coarse space of subgroups of G is discrete if and only if G is a Dedekind group.

Coarse cohomology with twisted coefficients

To a coarse structure we associate a Grothendieck topology which is determined by coarse covers. A coarse map between coarse spaces gives rise to a morphism of Grothendieck topologies. This way we define sheaves and sheaf cohomology on coarse spaces. We obtain that sheaf cohomology is a functor on the coarse category: if two coarse maps are close they induce the same map in cohomology. There is a coarse version of a Mayer-Vietoris sequence and for every inclusion of coarse spaces there is a coarse version of relative cohomology. Cohomology with constant coefficients can be computed using the number of ends of a coarse space.

Closeness and linkness in balleans

A set $X$ endowed with a coarse structure is called ballean or coarse space. For a ballean $(X, \mathcal{E})$, we say that two subsets $A$, $B$ of $X$ are close (linked) if there exists an entourage $E\in \mathcal{E}$ such that $A\subseteq E [B]$, $B\subseteq E[A]$ (either $A, B$ are bounded or contain unbounded close subsets). We explore the following general question: which information about a ballean is contained and can be extracted from the relations of closeness and linkness.
