Cliff functions - a tool for treating sequences of composed functions.
Clone properties are the properties expressible by the first order sentence of the clone language. The present paper is a contribution to the field of problems asking when distinct sentences of the language determine distinct topological properties. We fully clarify the relations among the rigidity, the fix-point property, the image-determining property and the coconnectedness.
In this paper we show that a separable space cannot include closed discrete subsets which have the cardinality of the continuum and satisfy relative versions of any of the following topological properties: normality, countable paracompactness and property . It follows that it is consistent that closed discrete subsets of a separable space which are also relatively normal (relatively countably paracompact, relatively ) in are necessarily countable. There are, however, consistent examples of...
In some sense, a dual property to that of Valdivia compact is considered, namely the property to be embedded as a closed subspace into a complement of a -subproduct of a Tikhonov cube. All locally compact spaces are co-Valdivia spaces (and only those among metrizable spaces or spaces having countable type). There are paracompact non-locally compact co-Valdivia spaces. A possibly new type of ultrafilters lying in between P-ultrafilters and weak P-ultrafilters is introduced. Under Martin axiom and...
A classical Lefschetz result about point-finite open covers of normal spaces is generalised by showing that every lower semi-continuous mapping from a normal space into the nonempty compact subsets of a metrizable space admits a closed graph multi-selection. Several applications are given as well.
Let be a uniformly closed and locally m-convex -algebra. We obtain internal conditions on stated in terms of its closed ideals for to be isomorphic and homeomorphic to , the -algebra of all the real continuous functions on a normal topological space endowed with the compact convergence topology.
We prove some closed mapping theorems on -spaces with point-countable -networks. One of them generalizes Lašnev’s theorem. We also construct an example of a Hausdorff space with a countable base that admits a closed map onto metric space which is not compact-covering. Another our result says that a -space with a point-countable -network admitting a closed surjection which is not compact-covering contains a closed copy of .
