We prove that for any separable Banach space X, there exists a compact metric space which is homeomorphic to the Cantor space and whose Lipschitz-free space contains a complemented subspace isomorphic to X. As a consequence we give an example of a compact metric space which is homeomorphic to the Cantor space and whose Lipschitz-free space fails the approximation property and we prove that ther...

In structure-preserving cryptography, every building block shares the same bilinear groups. These groups must be generated for a specific, a priori fixed security level, and thus it is vital that the security reduction of all involved building blocks is as tight as possible. In this work, we present the first generic construction of structure-preserving signature schemes whose reduction cost is...

A separated cell A of a topological space X is a family of pairwise disjoint open sets with the property that, for any partition A= A1 ∪ A2 of A, ⋃ A1 and ⋃ A2 are completely separated. The separated cellularity sc(X) of X is the supremum of all cardinals of separated cells. A space X has finite separation if it has no infinite separated cells. With X compact, every separated cell of X has size...
