A homogeneous sheet

Crumpling a thin sheet.

Crumpled sheets have a surprisingly large resistance to further compression. We have studied the crumpling of thin sheets of Mylar under different loading conditions. When placed under a fixed compressive force, the size of a crumpled material decreases logarithmically in time for periods up to three weeks. We also find hysteretic behavior when measuring the compression as a function of applied...

A Class of compact operators on homogeneous spaces

Let  $varpi$ be a representation of the homogeneous space $G/H$, where $G$ be a locally compact group and  $H$ be a compact subgroup of $G$. For  an admissible wavelet $zeta$ for $varpi$  and $psi in L^p(G/H), 1leq p <infty$, we determine a class of bounded  compact operators  which are related to continuous wavelet transforms on homogeneous spaces and they are called localization operators.

A remark on Remainders of homogeneous spaces in some compactifications

‎We prove that a remainder $Y$ of a non-locally compact‎ ‎rectifiable space $X$ is locally a $p$-space if and only if‎ ‎either $X$ is a Lindel"{o}f $p$-space or $X$ is $sigma$-compact‎, ‎which improves two results by Arhangel'skii‎. ‎We also show that if a non-locally compact‎ ‎rectifiable space $X$ that is locally paracompact has a remainder $Y$ which has locally a $G_{delta}$-diagonal‎, ‎then...
