The universal separable metric space of Urysohn and isometric embeddings thereof in Вanach spaces

M. Holmes (1992)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

This paper is an investigation of the universal separable metric space up to isometry U discovered by Urysohn. A concrete construction of U as a metric subspace of the space C[0,1] of functions from [0,1] to the reals with the supremum metric is given. An answer is given to a question of Sierpiński on isometric embeddings of U in C[0,1]. It is shown that the closed linear span of an isometric copy of U in a Banach space which contains the zero of the Banach space is determined up to linear isometry....

The σ -property in C ( X )

Anthony W. Hager (2016)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

The σ -property of a Riesz space (real vector lattice) B is: For each sequence { b n } of positive elements of B , there is a sequence { λ n } of positive reals, and b B , with λ n b n b for each n . This condition is involved in studies in Riesz spaces of abstract Egoroff-type theorems, and of the countable lifting property. Here, we examine when “ σ ” obtains for a Riesz space of continuous real-valued functions C ( X ) . A basic result is: For discrete X , C ( X ) has σ iff the cardinal | X | < 𝔟 , Rothberger’s bounding number. Consequences and...

The σ-ideal of closed smooth sets does not have the covering property

Carlos Uzcátegui (1996)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We prove that the σ-ideal I(E) (of closed smooth sets with respect to a non-smooth Borel equivalence relation E) does not have the covering property. In fact, the same holds for any σ-ideal containing the closed transversals with respect to an equivalence relation generated by a countable group of homeomorphisms. As a consequence we show that I(E) does not have a Borel basis.
