We say that X×Y satisfies the Uniquely Universal property (UU) iff there exists an open set U ⊆ X × Y such that for every open set W ⊆ Y there is a unique cross section of U with Ux = W . Michael Hrus̆ák raised the question of when does X × Y satisfy UU and noted that if Y is compact, then X must have an isolated point. We consider the problem when the parameter space X is either the Cantor spac...

Recent data identify distinct components of social cognition associated with five brain regions. In posterior temporal cortex, the extrastriate body area is associated with perceiving the form of other human bodies. A nearby region in the posterior superior temporal sulcus is involved in interpreting the motions of a human body in terms of goals. A distinct region at the temporo-parietal juncti...

In the Graph Realization Problem (GRP), one is given a graph G, a set of non-negative edge-weights, and an integer d. The goal is to find, if possible, a realization of G in the Euclidian space R, such that the distance between any two vertices is the assigned edge weight. The problem has many applications in mathematics and computer science, but is NP-hard when the dimension d is fixed. Charac...
