Weak continuity properties of topologized groups

J. Cao, R. Drozdowski, Zbigniew Piotrowski (2010)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We explore (weak) continuity properties of group operations. For this purpose, the Novak number and developability number are applied. It is shown that if ( G , · , τ ) is a regular right (left) semitopological group with dev ( G ) < Nov ( G ) such that all left (right) translations are feebly continuous, then ( G , · , τ ) is a topological group. This extends several results in literature.

Weak extent in normal spaces

Ronnie Levy, Mikhail Matveev (2005)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

If X is a space, then the weak extent we ( X ) of X is the cardinal min { α : If 𝒰 is an open cover of X , then there exists A X such that | A | = α and St ( A , 𝒰 ) = X } . In this note, we show that if X is a normal space such that | X | = 𝔠 and we ( X ) = ω , then X does not have a closed discrete subset of cardinality 𝔠 . We show that this result cannot be strengthened in ZFC to get that the extent of X is smaller than 𝔠 , even if the condition that we ( X ) = ω is replaced by the stronger condition that X is separable.

Weak orderability of second countable spaces

Valentin Gutev (2007)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We demonstrate that a second countable space is weakly orderable if and only if it has a continuous weak selection. This provides a partial positive answer to a question of van Mill and Wattel.

Weak orderability of some spaces which admit a weak selection

Camillo Costantini (2006)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We show that if a Hausdorff topological space X satisfies one of the following properties: a) X has a countable, discrete dense subset and X 2 is hereditarily collectionwise Hausdorff; b) X has a discrete dense subset and admits a countable base; then the existence of a (continuous) weak selection on X implies weak orderability. As a special case of either item a) or b), we obtain the result for every separable metrizable space with a discrete dense subset.

Weak selections and flows in networks

Valentin Gutev, Tsugunori Nogura (2008)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We demonstrate that every Vietoris continuous selection for the hyperspace of at most 3-point subsets implies the existence of a continuous selection for the hyperspace of at most 4-point subsets. However, in general, we do not know if such ``extensions'' are possible for hyperspaces of sets of other cardinalities. In particular, we do not know if the hyperspace of at most 3-point subsets has a continuous selection provided the hyperspace of at most 2-point subsets has a continuous selection.

Weak selections and weak orderability of function spaces

Valentin Gutev (2010)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

It is proved that for a zero-dimensional space X , the function space C p ( X , 2 ) has a Vietoris continuous selection for its hyperspace of at most 2-point sets if and only if X is separable. This provides the complete affirmative solution to a question posed by Tamariz-Mascarúa. It is also obtained that for a strongly zero-dimensional metrizable space E , the function space C p ( X , E ) is weakly orderable if and only if its hyperspace of at most 2-point sets has a Vietoris continuous selection. This provides a partial...

Weak-bases and D -spaces

Dennis K. Burke (2007)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

It is shown that certain weak-base structures on a topological space give a D -space. This solves the question by A.V. Arhangel’skii of when quotient images of metric spaces are D -spaces. A related result about symmetrizable spaces also answers a question of Arhangel’skii. Theorem.Any symmetrizable space X is a D -space ( hereditarily ) . Hence, quotient mappings, with compact fibers, from metric spaces have a D -space image. What about quotient s -mappings? Arhangel’skii and Buzyakova have shown that...
