Products of topological spaces represent any semigroup (Preliminary communication)
In ZF (i.e., Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory without the Axiom of Choice) the following statements are shown to be equivalent: (i) The axiom of dependent choice. (ii) Products of compact Hausdorff spaces are Baire. (iii) Products of pseudocompact spaces are Baire. (iv) Products of countably compact, regular spaces are Baire. (v) Products of regular-closed spaces are Baire. (vi) Products of Čech-complete spaces are Baire. (vii) Products of pseudo-complete spaces are Baire.
We discuss functions f : X × Y → Z such that sets of the form f (A × B) have non-empty interiors provided that A and B are non-empty sets of second category and have the Baire property.
In 1926 Birkhoff defined the center depth, one of the fundamental invariants that characterize the topological structure of a dynamical system. In this paper, we introduce the concepts of prolongational centers and their depths, which lead to a complete family of topological invariants. Some basic properties of the prolongational centers and their depths are established. Also, we construct a dynamical system in which the depth of a prolongational center is a prescribed countable ordinal.
Let G be a locally compact Hausdorff group. We study equivariant absolute (neighborhood) extensors (G-AE's and G-ANE's) in the category G-ℳ of all proper G-spaces that are metrizable by a G-invariant metric. We first solve the linearization problem for proper group actions by proving that each X ∈ G-ℳ admits an equivariant embedding in a Banach G-space L such that L∖{0} is a proper G-space and L∖{0} ∈ G-AE. This implies that in G-ℳ the notions of G-A(N)E and G-A(N)R coincide. Our embedding result...
