چکیده

Thomassen [Combinatorica 24 (2004), 699–718] proved that a 2–connected, compact, locally connected metric space is homeomorphic to a subset of the sphere if and only if it does not contain K5 or K3,3. The “thumbtack space” consisting of a disc plus an arc attaching just at the centre of the disc shows the assumption of 2–connectedness cannot be dropped. In this work, we introduce “generalized thumbtacks” and show that a compact, locally connected metric space is homeomorphic to a subset of the sphere if and only if it does not contain K5, K3,3, or any generalized thumbtack, or the disjoint union of a sphere and a point.

Shift Invariant Spaces and Shift Preserving Operators on Locally Compact Abelian Groups

We investigate shift invariant subspaces of $L^2(G)$, where $G$ is a locally compact abelian group. We show that every shift invariant space can be decomposed as an orthogonal sum of spaces each of which is generated by a single function whose shifts form a Parseval frame. For a second countable locally compact abelian group $G$ we prove a useful Hilbert space isomorphism, introduce range funct...

The Role of Connectedness in the Structure and the Action of Group of Isometries of Locally Compact Metric Spaces

By proving that, if the quotient space Σ(X) of the connected components of the locally compact metric space (X, d) is compact, then the full group I(X, d) of isometries of X is closed in C(X, X) with respect to the pointwise convergence topology, i.e., that I(X, d) coincides in this case with its Ellis’ semigroup, we complete the proof of the following: Theorem (a): If Σ(X) is not compact, I(X,...

Weighted Composition Operators Between Extended Lipschitz Algebras on Compact Metric Spaces

‎In this paper, we provide a complete description of weighted composition operators between extended Lipschitz algebras on compact metric spaces. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the injectivity and the sujectivity of these operators. We also obtain some sufficient conditions and some necessary conditions for a weighted composition operator between these spaces to be compact.
