On the Lyapunov numbers

Sergiĭ Kolyada, Oleksandr Rybak (2013)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We introduce and study the Lyapunov numbers-quantitative measures of the sensitivity of a dynamical system (X,f) given by a compact metric space X and a continuous map f: X → X. In particular, we prove that for a minimal topologically weakly mixing system all Lyapunov numbers are the same.

On the non-existence of certain group topologies

Christian Rosendal (2005)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Minimal Hausdorff (Baire) group topologies of certain groups of transformations naturally occurring in analysis are studied. The results obtained are subsequently applied to show that, e.g., the homeomorphism groups of the rational and of the irrational numbers carry no Polish group topology. In answer to a question of A. S. Kechris it is shown that the group of Borel automorphisms of ℝ cannot be a Polish group either.

On the ∗-product in kneading theory

Karen Brucks, R. Galeeva, P. Mumbrú, D. Rockmore, Charles Tresser (1997)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We discuss a generalization of the *-product in kneading theory to maps with an arbitrary finite number of turning points. This is based on an investigation of the factorization of permutations into products of permutations with some special properties relevant for dynamics on the unit interval.

On the Schauder fixed point theorem

Lech Górniewicz, Danuta Rozpłoch-Nowakowska (1996)

Banach Center Publications

The paper contains a survey of various results concerning the Schauder Fixed Point Theorem for metric spaces both in single-valued and multi-valued cases. A number of open problems is formulated.
