A generalization of Banach's contraction principle.
A metric space is called a space provided each continuous function on into a metric target space is uniformly continuous. We introduce a class of metric spaces that play, relative to the boundedly compact metric spaces, the same role that spaces play relative to the compact metric spaces.
The class of -spaces is studied in detail. It includes, in particular, all Čech-complete spaces, Lindelöf -spaces, metrizable spaces with the weight , but countable non-metrizable spaces and some metrizable spaces are not in it. It is shown that -spaces are in a duality with Lindelöf -spaces: is an -space if and only if some (every) remainder of in a compactification is a Lindelöf -space [Arhangel’skii A.V., Remainders of metrizable and close to metrizable spaces, Fund. Math. 220 (2013),...
In the theory of compactifications, Magill's theorem that the continuous image of a remainder of a space is again a remainder is one of the most important theorems in the field. It is somewhat unfortunate that the theorem holds only in locally compact spaces. In fact, if all continuous images of a remainder are again remainders, then the space must be locally compact. This paper is a modification of Magill's result to more general spaces. This of course requires restrictions on the nature of the...
A new class of spaces which contains the class of all normal spaces is defined and its characterization and properties are discussed.
Let be a field, and the set of monomials of . It is well known that the set of monomial ideals of is in a bijective correspondence with the set of all subsemiflows of the -semiflow . We generalize this to the case of term ideals of , where is a commutative Noetherian ring. A term ideal of is an ideal of generated by a family of terms , where and are integers .
