Metrizability of CHART groups

The metrizability of L-topological groups

This paper studies the metrizability of the notion of L-topological groups defined by Ahsanullah. We show that for any (separated) L-topological group there is an L-pseudo-metric (L-metric), in sense of Gähler which is defined using his notion of L-real numbers, compatible with the Ltopology of this (separated) L-topological group. That is, any (separated) L-topological group is pseudo-metrizab...

Metrizability and the Frechet-Urysohn Property in Topological Groups

Invariant Means on Chart Groups

The purpose of this paper is to give a stream-lined proof of the existence and uniqueness of a right-invariant mean on a CHART group. A CHART group is a slight generalisation of a compact topological group. The existence of an invariant mean on a CHART group can be used to prove Furstenberg’s fixed point theorem.

Metrizability of Decomposition Spaces

Simultaneous Metrizability of Coarse Spaces

A metric space can be naturally endowed with both a topology and a coarse structure. We examine the converse to this. Given a topology and a coarse structure we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a metric giving rise to both of these. We conclude with an application to the construction of the coarse assembly map.
