An independency result in connectification theory

Alessandro Fedeli, Attilio Le Donne (1999)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

A space is called connectifiable if it can be densely embedded in a connected Hausdorff space. Let ψ be the following statement: “a perfect T 3 -space X with no more than 2 𝔠 clopen subsets is connectifiable if and only if no proper nonempty clopen subset of X is feebly compact". In this note we show that neither ψ nor ¬ ψ is provable in ZFC.

An infinitary version of Sperner's Lemma

Aarno Hohti (2006)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We prove an extension of the well-known combinatorial-topological lemma of E. Sperner to the case of infinite-dimensional cubes. It is obtained as a corollary to an infinitary extension of the Lebesgue Covering Dimension Theorem.

An interesting class of ideals in subalgebras of C ( X ) containing C * ( X )

Sudip Kumar Acharyya, Dibyendu De (2007)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

In the present paper we give a duality between a special type of ideals of subalgebras of C ( X ) containing C * ( X ) and z -filters of β X by generalization of the notion z -ideal of C ( X ) . We also use it to establish some intersecting properties of prime ideals lying between C * ( X ) and C ( X ) . For instance we may mention that such an ideal becomes prime if and only if it contains a prime ideal. Another interesting one is that for such an ideal the residue class ring is totally ordered if and only if it is prime.

An invariant of bi-Lipschitz maps

Hossein Movahedi-Lankarani (1993)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

A new numerical invariant for the category of compact metric spaces and Lipschitz maps is introduced. This invariant takes a value less than or equal to 1 for compact metric spaces that are Lipschitz isomorphic to ultrametric ones. Furthermore, a theorem is provided which makes it possible to compute this invariant for a large class of spaces. In particular, by utilizing this invariant, it is shown that neither a fat Cantor set nor the set 0 1 / n n 1 is Lipschitz isomorphic to an ultrametric space.

An irrational problem

Franklin D. Tall (2002)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Given a topological space ⟨X,⟩ ∈ M, an elementary submodel of set theory, we define X M to be X ∩ M with topology generated by U M : U M . Suppose X M is homeomorphic to the irrationals; must X = X M ? We have partial results. We also answer a question of Gruenhage by showing that if X M is homeomorphic to the “Long Cantor Set”, then X = X M .
