We describe the extension of the multiplication on a not-necessarily-discrete topological monoid to its flow compactification. We offer two applications. The first is a nondiscrete version of Hindman’s Theorem, and the second is a characterization of the projective minimal and elementary flows in terms of idempotents of the flow compactification of the monoid.
The purpose of this note is two-fold: firstly, to give a new and interesting result concerning separate and joint continuity, and secondly, to give a stream-lined (and self-contained) proof of the fact that "tame" CHART groups are topological groups.
The notion of an (n,r)-coloring for a link diagram generalizes the idea of an n-coloring introduced by R. H. Fox. For any positive integer n the various (n,r)-colorings of a diagram for an oriented link l correspond in a natural way to the periodic points of the representation shift of the link. The number of (n,r)-colorings of a diagram for a satellite knot is determined by the colorings of its pattern and companion knots together with the winding number.
We study generalized recurrence for closed relations on locally compact spaces. This includes continuous maps and real flows. The main tools are Lyapunov functions and their compactifications. Under certain conditions it is shown that the Lyapunov functions determine the topology of the space.
