On the rim-types of hereditarily locally connected continua
The paper contains a survey of various results concerning the Schauder Fixed Point Theorem for metric spaces both in single-valued and multi-valued cases. A number of open problems is formulated.
We prove that , where trt stands for the transfinite extension of Steinke’s separation dimension. This answers a question of Chatyrko and Hattori.
We investigate, in set theory without the Axiom of Choice , the set-theoretic strength of the statement Q(n): For every infinite set X, the Tychonoff product , where 2 = 0,1 has the discrete topology, is n-compact, where n = 2,3,4,5 (definitions are given in Section 1). We establish the following results: (1) For n = 3,4,5, Q(n) is, in (Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory minus ), equivalent to the Boolean Prime Ideal Theorem , whereas (2) Q(2) is strictly weaker than in set theory (Zermelo-Fraenkel set...
We show that the S-Euclidean minimum of an ideal class is a rational number, generalizing a result of Cerri. In the proof, we actually obtain a slight refinement of this and give some corollaries which explain the relationship of our results with Lenstra's notion of a norm-Euclidean ideal class and the conjecture of Barnes and Swinnerton-Dyer on quadratic forms. In particular, we resolve a conjecture of Lenstra except when the S-units have rank one. The proof is self-contained but uses ideas from...
