What was the main error in the proof of the second part of the 16th Hilbert problem by Petrovski and Landis? Please see this related post and also the following post.. For Mathematical development …

A topological space $X$ satisfies the "Periodic orbit property", briefly POP, if for every continuous map $f:X \to X$, there exist a natural number $n$ and a point $x_{0}\in X$ such that $f^{n}(x_{ …

Is there a natural number $n$, a compact Lie group $G$ of dimension less than $n$ and a continuous map $f:S^n \to G$ with $f(-x)=f(x)^{-1}$, such that $f$ is not a null homotopic map? This quest …

In the usual singular homology of a topological space $X$, one consider the free abelian group generated by all continuous maps from the standard simplex $\Delta^{n}$ to $X$. Now we can r …

Is there a topological space $X$, which is not a singleton, and satisfies the following property? For every continuous function $f: X\times S^2\to\mathbb{R}^2$ there exist a point $x\in S^2$ such th …

Let $G$ and $H$ be two topological groups. Assume that $\phi:\pi_{1}(G) \to \pi_{1}(H)$ is a group homomorphism. Is there a continuous function $f:G\to H$ such that $f_{*}=\phi$?

What is an example of a nontrivial principal bundle whose fibre space $G$, total space $P$ and base space $M$ are compact connected manifolds (the fiber $G$ is a compact Lie group) such that $$H^*(P,\ …

Motivated by this paper and its economics motivations, we recall that a social choice among $n$ objects is a continuous function $$f:\overbrace{M\times M\times\cdots\times M}^{\text{$n$ times}}\to …

Assume that $M$ is a manifold. Is there an embedding of $M$ in some $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ such that the image of $M$ in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ is invariant under each reflection $(x_{1},x_{2},\ldots x_{i},\l …

Is it possible to have a 2 dimensional foliation of $\mathbb{R}^{3}-\{0\}$ such that each leaf is homeomorphic to the torus? what algebraic topological obstruction exist? Another question: is there …

I asked this question in MSE, but I did not received any answer, so I repeat it here: https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/858238/a-question-on-fixed-point-property Assume that $0<k<n-1$, Note …

Assume that $X$ is a topological space. We say that $X$ satisfies the strong fixed point property if the graph of every surjective continuous self-map intersect the graph of every continuous self-ma …

Edit: According to comment of Prof. GoodWillie we revise the question. Put $M=GL(n,\mathbb{R})$. We identify $M_n(\mathbb{R})$ with $\mathbb{R}^{n^2}$: The identification is based on the lexicograph …

Let $S^n \times \mathbb{T}^n$ be the trivial Torus bundle over $S^n$. Assume that we have a continuous fiber preserving map $\phi :TS^n \to S^n \times \mathbb{T}^n$ which restriction to each fiber giv …

Edit: Accoring to the comment of Asura Path I revise the question. Let $X$ be a vector field on a Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$. So we have a $1$-form $\beta$ with $\beta(Y)=\langle Y,X\rangle …
