Does the "continuous locus" of a function have any nice properties?

It's a standard result that the continuous locus is always $G_\delta$. For each $r>0$, let $U(r)$ be the set of points $x$ such that some neighborhood of $x$ maps into some ball of radius $r$. Then …

Which sequences can be extended to analytic functions? (e. g., Ackermann's function)

It's a standard theorem in complex analysis that if $z_n$ is a sequence that goes to infinity, there is an entire function taking any prescribed values at the $z_n$. There is a function $f$ vanishing …

Construction of a convex function nondifferentiable on a countable set

If you think in terms of constructing the derivative of $f$ rather than $f$ itself, you're looking for an increasing function that has an arbitrary countable set $H$ of discontinuities. There's a sta …

Is there a topology on growth rates of functions?

I might be misremembering, but I believe the question of whether there is a cofinal totally ordered sequence of growth rates is independent of ZFC. It follows from CH (or more generally, Martin's Axi …

Abelianization of Lie groups

I don't have anything to say about specific examples, but here are some general remarks. A way to construct the abelianization of any compact group is to consider its image under the product of all i …
