Properties of one-point completions of a noncompact metrizable space

Melvin Henriksen, Ludvík Janoš, Grant R. Woods (2005)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

If a metrizable space X is dense in a metrizable space Y , then Y is called a metric extension of X . If T 1 and T 2 are metric extensions of X and there is a continuous map of T 2 into T 1 keeping X pointwise fixed, we write T 1 T 2 . If X is noncompact and metrizable, then ( ( X ) , ) denotes the set of metric extensions of X , where T 1 and T 2 are identified if T 1 T 2 and T 2 T 1 , i.e., if there is a homeomorphism of T 1 onto T 2 keeping X pointwise fixed. ( ( X ) , ) is a large complicated poset studied extensively by V. Bel’nov [The structure of...

P-sets and minimal right ideals in ℕ*

W. R. Brian (2015)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Recall that a P-set is a closed set X such that the intersection of countably many neighborhoods of X is again a neighborhood of X. We show that if 𝔱 = 𝔠 then there is a minimal right ideal of (βℕ,+) that is also a P-set. We also show that the existence of such P-sets implies the existence of P-points; in particular, it is consistent with ZFC that no minimal right ideal is a P-set. As an application of these results, we prove that it is both consistent with and independent of ZFC that the shift...

Realcompactification of frames

Nizar Marcus (1995)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We give a construction of Wallman-type realcompactifications of a frame L by considering regular sub σ -frames the join of which generates L . In particular, we show that the largest such regular sub σ -frame gives rise to the universal realcompactification of L .
