A space is said to be -metrizable if it has a -discrete -base. The behavior of -metrizable spaces under certain types of mappings is studied. In particular we characterize strongly -separable spaces as those which are the image of a -metrizable space under a perfect mapping. Each Tychonoff space can be represented as the image of a -metrizable space under an open continuous mapping. A question posed by Arhangel’skii regarding if a -metrizable topological group must be metrizable receives...
For the functor of upper semicontinuous capacities in the category of compact Hausdorff spaces and two of its subfunctors, we prove open mapping theorems. These are counterparts of the open mapping theorem for the probability measure functor proved by Ditor and Eifler.
We show that a (weakly) Whyburn space may be mapped continuously via an open map onto a non (weakly) Whyburn space . This fact may happen even between topological groups and , a homomorphism, Whyburn and not even weakly Whyburn.
We prove that if the topology on the set Seq of all finite sequences of natural numbers is determined by -filters and λ ≤ , then Seq is a -set in its Čech-Stone compactification. This improves some results of Simon and of Juhász and Szymański. As a corollary we obtain a generalization of a result of Burke concerning skeletal maps and we partially answer a question of his.
We prove that the maximal Hausdorff compactification of a -compactifiable mapping and the maximal Tychonoff compactification of a Tychonoff mapping (see [P]) are perfect. This allows us to give a characterization of all perfect Hausdorff (respectively, all perfect Tychonoff) compactifications of a -compactifiable (respectively, of a Tychonoff) mapping, which is a generalization of two results of Skljarenko [S] for the Hausdorff compactifications of Tychonoff spaces.
