With each isolating block for a homeomorphism of an orientable manifold we associate a cup product pairing. Up to an isomorphism, this is a pairing of the discrete Conley indices of the homeomorphism and its inverse on the isolating block. We show that this pairing is nondegenerate. As a corollary we prove a time duality result for the discrete Conley index. 0. Introduction The observation that...

We study expansive dynamical systems in the setting of distributive lattices and their automorphisms, usual notion expansiveness for a homeomorphism compact metric space being particular case when lattice is topology phase ordered by inclusion automorphism one induced homeomorphism, mapping open sets to sets. prove this context generalizations Mañé's Theorem Utz's about finite dimensionality an...

Using only basic topological properties of real algebraic sets and regular morphisms we show that any injective regular self-mapping of a real algebraic set is surjective. Then we show that injective morphisms between germs of real algebraic sets define a partial order on the equivalence classes of these germs divided by continuous semi-algebraic homeomorphisms. We use this observation to deduc...
