On the category number of topological spaces.
Let and be tent maps on the unit interval. In this paper we give a new proof of the fact that if the critical points of and are periodic and the inverse limit spaces and are homeomorphic, then s = t. This theorem was first proved by Kailhofer. The new proof in this paper simplifies the proof of Kailhofer. Using the techniques of the paper we are also able to identify certain isotopies between homeomorphisms on the inverse limit space.
The purpose of this paper is the investigation of the necessary and sufficient conditions under which a given multifunctions admits a cliquish and measurable selection. Our investigation also covers the search for quasicontinuous selections for multifunctions which are continuous with respect to the generalized notion of the semi-quasicontinuity.
Let X be a Polish space and Y be a separable metric space. For a fixed ξ < ω₁, consider a family of Baire-ξ functions. Answering a question of Tomasz Natkaniec, we show that if for a function f: X → Y, the set is finite for every x ∈ X, then f itself is necessarily Baire-ξ. The proof is based on a characterization of sets which can be interesting in its own right.
In the framework of ZF (Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory without the Axiom of Choice) we provide topological and Boolean-algebraic characterizations of the statements " is countably compact" and " is compact"
The main purpose of this paper is to show that any localic group is complete in its two-sided uniformity, settling a problem open since work began in this area a decade ago. In addition, a number of other results are established, providing in particular a new functor from topological to localic groups and an alternative characterization of -groups.
We call a subset S of a topological vector space V linearly Borel if for every finite number n, the set of all linear combinations of S of length n is a Borel subset of V. It is shown that a Hamel basis of an infinite-dimensional Banach space can never be linearly Borel. This answers a question of Anatoliĭ Plichko.
