Retral spaces and continua with the fixed point property

Jan van Mill, G. J. Ridderbos (2006)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We show that every retral continuum with the fixed point property is locally connected. It follows that an indecomposable continuum with the fixed point property is not a retract of a topological group.

Rigid extensions of -groups of continuous functions

Michelle L. Knox, Warren Wm. McGovern (2008)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Let C ( X , ) , C ( X , ) and C ( X ) denote the -groups of integer-valued, rational-valued and real-valued continuous functions on a topological space X , respectively. Characterizations are given for the extensions C ( X , ) C ( X , ) C ( X ) to be rigid, major, and dense.

Rings of continuous functions vanishing at infinity

Ali Rezaei Aliabad, F. Azarpanah, M. Namdari (2004)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We prove that a Hausdorff space X is locally compact if and only if its topology coincides with the weak topology induced by C ( X ) . It is shown that for a Hausdorff space X , there exists a locally compact Hausdorff space Y such that C ( X ) C ( Y ) . It is also shown that for locally compact spaces X and Y , C ( X ) C ( Y ) if and only if X Y . Prime ideals in C ( X ) are uniquely represented by a class of prime ideals in C * ( X ) . -compact spaces are introduced and it turns out that a locally compact space X is -compact if and only if every...

Rings of maps: sequential convergence and completion

Roman Frič (1999)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

The ring B ( R ) of all real-valued measurable functions, carrying the pointwise convergence, is a sequential ring completion of the subring C ( R ) of all continuous functions and, similarly, the ring 𝔹 of all Borel measurable subsets of R is a sequential ring completion of the subring 𝔹 0 of all finite unions of half-open intervals; the two completions are not categorical. We study 0 * -rings of maps and develop a completion theory covering the two examples. In particular, the σ -fields of sets form an epireflective...

Rosenthal compacta and NIP formulas

Pierre Simon (2015)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We apply the work of Bourgain, Fremlin and Talagrand on compact subsets of the first Baire class to show new results about ϕ-types for ϕ NIP. In particular, we show that if M is a countable model, then an M-invariant ϕ-type is Borel-definable. Also, the space of M-invariant ϕ-types is a Rosenthal compactum, which implies a number of topological tameness properties.

Rotation sets for graph maps of degree 1

Lluís Alsedà, Sylvie Ruette (2008)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

For a continuous map on a topological graph containing a loop S it is possible to define the degree (with respect to the loop S ) and, for a map of degree 1 , rotation numbers. We study the rotation set of these maps and the periods of periodic points having a given rotation number. We show that, if the graph has a single loop S then the set of rotation numbers of points in S has some properties similar to the rotation set of a circle map; in particular it is a compact interval and for every rational...
