Spaces with a binary normal subbase
An archimedean vector lattice A might have the following properties: (1) the sigma property (σ): For each there are and a ∈ A with λₙaₙ ≤ a for each n; (2) order convergence and relative uniform convergence are equivalent, denoted (OC ⇒ RUC): if aₙ ↓ 0 then aₙ → 0 r.u. The conjunction of these two is called strongly Egoroff. We consider vector lattices of the form D(X) (all extended real continuous functions on the compact space X) showing that (σ) and (OC ⇒ RUC) are equivalent, and equivalent...
We present an example of a separable metrizable topological group G having the property that no remainder of it is (topologically) homogeneous.
We study retracts of coset spaces. We prove that in certain spaces the set of points that are contained in a component of dimension less than or equal to n, is a closed set. Using our techniques we are able to provide new examples of homogeneous spaces that are not coset spaces. We provide an example of a compact homogeneous space which is not a coset space. We further provide an example of a compact metrizable space which is a retract of a homogeneous compact space, but which is not a retract of...
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 has a normal remainder. In a previous paper we showed that under mild conditions on , the Continuum Hypothesis implies that if the Čech-Stone remainder of 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...
We present several sum theorems for Ohio completeness. We prove that Ohio completeness is preserved by taking σ-locally finite closed sums and also by taking point-finite open sums. We provide counterexamples to show that Ohio completeness is preserved neither by taking locally countable closed sums nor by taking countable open sums.
Given a Boolean algebra 𝔹 and an embedding e:𝔹 → 𝓟(ℕ)/fin we consider the possibility of extending each or some automorphism of 𝔹 to the whole 𝓟(ℕ)/fin. Among other things, we show, assuming CH, that for a wide class of Boolean algebras there are embeddings for which no non-trivial automorphism can be extended.
