Borel Structures and a Topological Zero-One Law.
Borsuk's quasi-equivalence relation on the class of all compacta is considered. The open problem concerning transitivity of this relation is solved in the negative. Namely, three continua X, Y and Z lying in ℝ³ are constructed such that X is quasi-equivalent to Y and Y is quasi-equivalent to Z, while X is not quasi-equivalent to Z.
The Borsuk-Sieklucki theorem says that for every uncountable family of n-dimensional closed subsets of an n-dimensional ANR-compactum, there exist α ≠ β such that . In this paper we show a cohomological version of that theorem: Theorem. Suppose a compactum X is , where n ≥ 1, and G is an Abelian group. Let be an uncountable family of closed subsets of X. If for all α ∈ J, then for some α ≠ β. For G being a countable principal ideal domain the above result was proved by Choi and Kozlowski...
A generalization of the theorem of Bajmóczy and Bárány which in turn is a common generalization of Borsuk's and Radon's theorem is presented. A related conjecture is formulated.
Conditions are given which enable or disable a complex space to be mapped biholomorphically onto a bounded closed analytic subset of a Banach space. They involve on the one hand the Radon-Nikodym property and on the other hand the completeness of the Caratheodory metric of .
A constructively valid counterpart to Bourbaki’s Fixpoint Lemma for chain-complete partially ordered sets is presented to obtain a condition for one closure system in a complete lattice to be stable under another closure operator of . This is then used to deal with coproducts and other aspects of frames.
