When equipped with the natural topology first defined by Chabauty, the closed subgroups of a locally compact group G form a compact space C(G). We analyse the structure of C(G) for some low-dimensional Lie groups, concentrating mostly on the 3-dimensional Heisenberg group H. We prove that C(H) is a 6-dimensional space that is path–connected but not locally connected. The lattices in H form a de...

At every point, a smooth plane curve can be approximated, to second order, by a circle; this circle is called osculating. One may think of the osculating circle as passing through three infinitesimally close points of the curve. A vertex of the curve is a point at which the osculating circle hyper-osculates: it approximates the curve to third order. Equivalently, a vertex is a critical point of...

Let S be any family of n c-oriented polygons of the two-dimensional Euclidean plane E, i.e., bounded intersection of halfplanes whose normal directions of edges belong to a .xed collection of c distinct directions. Let (S) denote the packing number of S, that is the maximum number of pairwise disjoint objects of S. Let (S) be the transversal number of S, that is the minimum number of points req...

Disjoint union is a partial binary operation returning the union of two sets if they are disjoint and undefined otherwise. A disjoint-union partial algebra of sets is a collection of sets closed under disjoint unions, whenever they are defined. We provide a recursive first-order axiomatisation of the class of partial algebras isomorphic to a disjointunion partial algebra of sets but prove that ...

let $s$ be a monoid. in this paper, we prove every class of $s$-acts having a flatness property is closed underdirected colimits, it extends some known results. furthermore thisresult implies that every $s$-act has a flatness cover if and only if it has a flatness precover.

‎in this paper, a new class of fuzzy sets called fuzzy strongly ${{g}^{*}}$-closed sets is introduced and its properties are investigated. moreover, we study some more properties of this type of closed spaces.

we prove that the class of profinite groups $g$ that have a factorization $g=ab$‎ ‎with $a$ and $b$ abelian closed subgroups‎, ‎is closed under taking inverse limits‎ ‎of surjective inverse systems‎. ‎this is a generalization of a recent result by k. h. hofmann and f. g. russo‎. ‎as an application we reprove their generalization of iwasawa's structure theorem for‎ ‎quasihamiltonian pro-$p$...

let s be a locally compact topological foundation semigroup with identity and ma(s) be its semigroup algebra. in this paper, we give necessary and sufficient conditions to have abounded approximate identity in closed codimension one ideals of the semigroup algebra $m_a(s)$ of a locally compact topological foundationsemigroup with identity.
