Abstract

In this paper, we show that the metric space Q is a positively-curved space (PC-space) in the sense of Alexandrov. We also discuss some issues like metric tangent cone and exponential map of Q. Then we give a stratification of this metric space according to the signature of points in Q. Some properties of this stratification are shown. The second part of this paper is devoted to some basic analysis on the space Q, like the tensor sum and L-p space, which can be of independent interest. In the end, we give another definition of derivative for multiple-valued functions, which is equivalent to the one used by Almgren. An interesting theorem about regular selection of multiple-valued functions which preserves the differentiability concludes this paper.

Calibers of canonical hyperconnected spaces and their Vietoris hyperspaces

For infinite cardinals $λ\leq κ$, we calculate the calibers of topological spaces $X$ of cardinality $κ$ whose open sets are the subsets $A$ satisfying $|X \setminus A| < λ$. We also prove that the set of calibers of $X$ coincides with the set of calibers of the Vietoris hyperspace $\mathcal{H}(X)$, where the space $\mathcal{H}(X)$ has as its underlying set a collection of subsets of $X$ that includes all its finite subsets and is contained within the collection of its closed subsets.

The circle as a topological fractal

We prove that no family of two continuous self-maps witnesses that the circle is a topological fractal, answering a question of Karasová and the present author. Since three maps are known to suffice, this bound is optimal. In contrast, for every $\varepsilon>0$ there are two continuous self-maps of the circle, depending on $\varepsilon$, whose images cover the circle and an integer $N$ such that every composition of $N$ of them has image of diameter less than $\varepsilon$. Thus two maps suffice at any prescribed scale, but no fixed pair works at all scales.

Singular Submodules of Abelian Groups over Their Endomorphism Rings

Let $A$ be an abelian group and $E=\Endo_{\Z}(A)$. We give a module-theoretic description of the singular $E$-submodules asked for in Fuchs' Problem~1.2. For a unital ring $R$ and a left $R$-module $M$, put $W=I_R({}_RR)\oplus I_R(M)$ and $J=\Jaco(\Endo_R(W))$, and let $u$ be the image of $1_R$. The classical essential-kernel criterion yields \[ Z_R(M)=M\cap Ju. \] For $R=E$ and $M=A$, all singular submodules are therefore the $E$-submodules of $A\cap Ju$. Writing $T=t(A)$ and $B=A/T$, we prove a torsion-transfer formula, identify the torsion part as $\bigoplus_p pT_p$, and describe simultaneous prime lifting by a canonical obstruction. The resulting extension gives an $\Extt/\Homm$ parametrization of all singular submodules. We obtain explicit formulas for torsion groups and for $\Z(p^\infty)\oplus B$ with $B$ torsion-free; in the latter case the fully invariant subgroup lattice of $B$ occurs as an interval. The general description retains the induced endomorphism action and extension data, rather than giving a classification by classical group invariants.
