AbstractWe study universal minimal flows of the homeomorphism groups of generalized Ważewski dendrites WP, $P \subseteq \left\{ {3,4, \ldots ,\omega } \right\}$. If P is finite, we prove that the universal minimal flow of the homeomorphism group H (WP) is metrizable and we compute it explicitly. This answers a question of Duchesne. If P is infinite, we show that the universal minimal flow of H (WP) is not metrizable. This provides examples of topological groups which are Roelcke precompact and have a nonmetrizable universal minimal flow with a comeager orbit.

The group of compactly supported homeomorphisms on a Tychonoff space can be topologized in a number of ways, including as a colimit of homeomorphism groups with a given compact support or as a subgroup of the homeomorphism group of its Stone-Čech compactification. A space is said to have the Compactly Supported Homeomorphism Property (CSHP) if these two topologies coincide. The authors provide necessary and sufficient conditions for finite products of ordinals equipped with the order topology to have CSHP. In addition, necessary conditions are presented for finite products and coproducts of spaces to have CSHP.

Let G be a locally compact Abelian group, and the set of bounded complex (regular countably-additive Borel) measures on G. It is well known that becomes a Banach space if the norm is defined bythe supremum being over all finite sets of disjoint Borel subsets of G.

AbstractWe prove that every (locally) contractible topological group is (L)EC and apply these results to homeomorphism groups, free topological groups, reduced products and symmetric products. Our main results are: The free topological group of a θ-contractible space is equiconnected. A paracompact and weakly locally contractible space is locally equiconnected if and only if it has a local mixer. There exist compact metric contractible spaces X whose reduced (symmetric) products are not retracts of the Graev free topological groups F(X) (A(X)) (thus correcting results we published ibidem).

Let H(C) be the group of homeomorphisms of the cantor set, C onto itself. Let p: C → M be a (continuous) map of C onto a compact metric space M, and let G(p, M) be {h ∈ H(C) | ∀x ∈ C, p(x) = ph(x)}. G(p, M) is a group. The map p: C → M is standard, if for each (x, y) ∈ C × C such that p(x) = p(y), there is a sequence and a sequence such that xn → x and hn(xn) → y. Standard maps and their associated groups characterize compact metric spaces in the sense that: Two such spaces, M and N, are homeomorphic if and only if, given p standard from C onto M, there is a standard q from C onto N for which G(p, M) = h−1G(q, N)h, for some h ∈ H(C). That is, two compact metric spaces are homeomorphic if and only if they determine, via standard maps, the same classes of conjugate subgroups of H(C).The present note exhibits two natural structure theorems relating algebraic and topological properties: First, if M = H ∪ K (H, K ≠ π) , compact metric, and p : C → M are given, then G(p, M) is isomorphic to a subdirect product of G(p, M)/S(p, H\K) and G(p, M)/S(p, K\H) where, generally, S(p, N) is the normal subgroup of homeomorphisms supported on p−1M . Second, given M and N compact metric and p : M → N continuous and onto, let M ≠ M − CID*α ≠ 0 , where {Dα}α ∈ A is the collection of non-degenerate preimages of points in N Then there is a standard p : C → M such that fp : C → N is standard and there is a homomorphism.

Suppose a group H is given as a free product with amalgamationdetermined by groups A0, A1, A2 and homomorphisms α1: A0 → A1, α2: A0 → A2. Thus H may be described as the quotient of the free product A * A2 by the relations i1 α1 (α0) = i2α2 (α0) for all α0 ∈ A0, where i1, i2 are the two injections of A1, A2 into A1 * A2. We do not assume that α1, α2 are injective, so the canonical homomorphisms α′i: Ai → H, i = 0,1,2, also need not be injective.

AbstractGiven a class${\cal C}$of subgroups of a topological groupG, we say that a subgroup$H \in {\cal C}$is auniversal${\cal C}$subgroupofGif every subgroup$K \in {\cal C}$is a continuous homomorphic preimage ofH. Such subgroups may be regarded as complete members of${\cal C}$with respect to a natural preorder on the set of subgroups ofG. We show that for any locally compact Polish groupG, the countable powerGωhas a universalKσsubgroup and a universal compactly generated subgroup. We prove a weaker version of this in the nonlocally compact case and provide an example showing that this result cannot readily be improved. Additionally, we show that many standard Banach spaces (viewed as additive topological groups) have universalKσand compactly generated subgroups. As an aside, we explore the relationship between the classes ofKσand compactly generated subgroups and give conditions under which the two coincide.

The classical von Neumann–Oxtoby–Ulam Theorem states the following:Given non-atomic Borel probability measures μ, λ on In such thatthere exists a homeomorphism h of In onto itself fixing the boundary pointwise such that for any λ-measurable set SIt is known that the above theorem remains valid if In is replaced by any compact finite dimensional manifold [2], [4] or with I∞, the Hilbert cube, [8].

AbstractWe consider${\cal S}$, the class of finite semilattices;${\cal T}$, the class of finite treeable semilattices; and${{\cal T}_m}$, the subclass of${\cal T}$which contains trees with branching bounded bym. We prove that${\cal E}{\cal S}$, the class of finite lattices with linear extensions, is a Ramsey class. We calculate Ramsey degrees for structures in${\cal S}$,${\cal T}$, and${{\cal T}_m}$. In addition to this we give a topological interpretation of our results and we apply our result to canonization of linear orderings on finite semilattices. In particular, we give an example of a Fraïssé class${\cal K}$which is not a Hrushovski class, and for which the automorphism group of the Fraïssé limit of${\cal K}$is not extremely amenable (with the infinite universal minimal flow) but is uniquely ergodic.
