On residualizing homomorphisms preserving quasiconvexity
H is called a G-subgroup of a hyperbolic group G if for any finite subset M G there exists a homomorphism from G onto a non-elementary hyperbolic group G_1 that is surjective on H and injective on M. In his paper in 1993 A. Ol'shanskii gave a description of all G-subgroups in any given non-elementary hyperbolic group G. Here we show that for the same class of G-subgroups the finiteness assumption on M (under certain natural conditions) can be replaced by an assumption of quasiconvexity
Proof of the Hyperplane Zeros Conjecture of Lagarias and Wang
We prove that a real analytic subset of a torus group that is contained in
its image under an expanding endomorphism is a finite union of translates of
closed subgroups. This confirms the hyperplane zeros conjecture of Lagarias and
Wang for real analytic varieties. Our proof uses real analytic geometry,
topological dynamics and Fourier analysis.Comment: 25 page
New generalized fuzzy metrics and fixed point theorem in fuzzy metric space
In this paper, in fuzzy metric spaces (in the sense of Kramosil and Michalek (Kibernetika 11:336-344, 1957)) we introduce the concept of a generalized fuzzy metric which is the extension of a fuzzy metric. First, inspired by the ideas of Grabiec (Fuzzy Sets Syst. 125:385-389, 1989), we define a new G-contraction of Banach type with respect to this generalized fuzzy metric, which is a generalization of the contraction of Banach type (introduced by M Grabiec). Next, inspired by the ideas of Gregori and Sapena (Fuzzy Sets Syst. 125:245-252, 2002), we define a new GV-contraction of Banach type with respect to this generalized fuzzy metric, which is a generalization of the contraction of Banach type (introduced by V Gregori and A Sapena). Moreover, we provide the condition guaranteeing the existence of a fixed point for these single-valued contractions. Next, we show that the generalized pseudodistance J:X×X→[0,∞) (introduced by Włodarczyk and Plebaniak (Appl. Math. Lett. 24:325-328, 2011)) may generate some generalized fuzzy metric NJ on X. The paper includes also the comparison of our results with those existing in the literature
Bounding Helly numbers via Betti numbers
We show that very weak topological assumptions are enough to ensure the
existence of a Helly-type theorem. More precisely, we show that for any
non-negative integers and there exists an integer such that
the following holds. If is a finite family of subsets of such that for any
and every
then has Helly number at most . Here
denotes the reduced -Betti numbers (with singular homology). These
topological conditions are sharp: not controlling any of these first Betti numbers allow for families with unbounded Helly number.
Our proofs combine homological non-embeddability results with a Ramsey-based
approach to build, given an arbitrary simplicial complex , some well-behaved
chain map .Comment: 29 pages, 8 figure
Normal systems over ANR's, rigid embeddings and nonseparable absorbing sets
Most of results of Bestvina and Mogilski [\textit{Characterizing certain
incomplete infinite-dimensional absolute retracts}, Michigan Math. J.
\textbf{33} (1986), 291--313] on strong -sets in ANR's and absorbing sets is
generalized to nonseparable case. It is shown that if an ANR is locally
homotopy dense embeddable in infinite-dimensional Hilbert manifolds and (where `' is the topological weight) for each open nonempty subset
of ,then itself is homotopy dense embeddable in a Hilbert manifold. It
is also demonstrated that whenever is an AR, its weak product is
homeomorphic to a pre-Hilbert space with . An intrinsic
characterization of manifolds modelled on such pre-Hilbert spaces is given.Comment: 26 page
Markovian Equilibrium in Infinite Horizon Economies with Incomplete Markets and Public Policy
We develop an isotone recursive approach to the problem of existence, computation, and characterization of nonsymmetric locally Lipschitz continuous (and, therefore, Clarke-differentiable) Markovian equilibrium for a class of infinite horizon multiagent competitive equilibrium models with capital, aggregate risk, public policy, externalities, one sector production, and incomplete markets. The class of models we consider is large, and examples have been studied extensively in the applied literature in public economics, macroeconomics, and financial economics. We provide sufficient conditions that distinguish between economies with isotone Lipschitizian Markov equilibrium decision processes (MEDPs) and those that have only locally Lipschitzian (but not necessarily isotone) MEDPs. As our fixed point operators are based upon order continuous and compact non-linear operators, we are able to provide sufficient conditions under which isotone iterative fixed point constructions converge to extremal MEDPs via successive approximation. We develop a first application of a new method for computing MEDPs in a system of Euler inequalities using isotone fixed point theory even when MEDPs are not necessarily isotone. The method is a special case of a more general mixed monotone recursive approach. We show MEDPs are unique only under very restrictive conditions. Finally, we prove monotone comparison theorems in Veinott's strong set order on the space of public policy parameters and distorted production functions
