The fixed point set of open mappings on extremally disconnected spaces

Egbert Thümmel (1994)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We give an example of an extremally disconnected compact Hausdorff space with an open continuous selfmap such that the fixed point set is nonvoid and nowhere dense, respṫhat there is exactly one nonisolated fixed point.

The measure algebra does not always embed

Alan Dow, Klaas Hart (2000)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

The Open Colouring Axiom implies that the measure algebra cannot be embedded into P(ℕ)/fin. We also discuss errors in previous results on the embeddability of the measure algebra.

Two results on special points

Alan Dow (2003)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We show that there is a nowhere ccc σ-compact space which has a remote point. We show that it is consistent to have a non-compact σ-compact separable space X such that every point of the remainder is a limit of a countable discrete subset of non-isolated points of X. This example shows that one cannot prove in ZFC that every locally compact non-compact space has discrete weak P-points.
