Nonnormality of remainders of some topological groups

Aleksander V. Arhangel'skii, J. van Mill (2016)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

It is known that every remainder of a topological group is Lindelöf or pseudocompact. Motivated by this result, we study in this paper when a topological group G has a normal remainder. In a previous paper we showed that under mild conditions on G , the Continuum Hypothesis implies that if the Čech-Stone remainder G * of G is normal, then it is Lindelöf. Here we continue this line of investigation, mainly for the case of precompact groups. We show that no pseudocompact group, whose weight is uncountable...

Non-normality points and nice spaces

Sergei Logunov (2021)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

J. Terasawa in " β X - { p } are non-normal for non-discrete spaces X " (2007) and the author in “On non-normality points and metrizable crowded spaces” (2007), independently showed for any metrizable crowded space X that each point p of its Čech–Stone remainder X * is a non-normality point of β X . We introduce a new class of spaces, named nice spaces, which contains both of Sorgenfrey line and every metrizable crowded space. We obtain the result above for every nice space.

On a question of C c ( X )

A. R. Olfati (2016)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

In this short article we answer the question posed in Ghadermazi M., Karamzadeh O.A.S., Namdari M., On the functionally countable subalgebra of C ( X ) , Rend. Sem. Mat. Univ. Padova 129 (2013), 47–69. It is shown that C c ( X ) is isomorphic to some ring of continuous functions if and only if υ 0 X is functionally countable. For a strongly zero-dimensional space X , this is equivalent to say that X is functionally countable. Hence for every P -space it is equivalent to pseudo- 0 -compactness.

On butterfly-points in β X , Tychonoff products and weak Lindelöf numbers

Sergei Logunov (2022)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Let X be the Tychonoff product α < τ X α of τ -many Tychonoff non-single point spaces X α . Let p X * be a point in the closure of some G X whose weak Lindelöf number is strictly less than the cofinality of τ . Then we show that β X { p } is not normal. Under some additional assumptions, p is a butterfly-point in β X . In particular, this is true if either X = ω τ or X = R τ and τ is infinite and not countably cofinal.

On character of points in the Higson corona of a metric space

Taras O. Banakh, Ostap Chervak, Lubomyr Zdomskyy (2013)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We prove that for an unbounded metric space X , the minimal character 𝗆 χ ( X ˇ ) of a point of the Higson corona X ˇ of X is equal to 𝔲 if X has asymptotically isolated balls and to max { 𝔲 , 𝔡 } otherwise. This implies that under 𝔲 < 𝔡 a metric space X of bounded geometry is coarsely equivalent to the Cantor macro-cube 2 < if and only if dim ( X ˇ ) = 0 and 𝗆 χ ( X ˇ ) = 𝔡 . This contrasts with a result of Protasov saying that under CH the coronas of any two asymptotically zero-dimensional unbounded metric separable spaces are homeomorphic.
