The space of ANR’s in $ℝ^{n}$

Tadeusz Dobrowolski, Leonard Rubin (1994)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

The hyperspaces $A N R (ℝ^{n})$ and $A R (ℝ^{n})$ in $2^{ℝ^{n}} (n \geq 3)$ consisting respectively of all compact absolute neighborhood retracts and all compact absolute retracts are studied. It is shown that both have the Borel type of absolute $G_{δ σ δ}$ -spaces and that, indeed, they are not $F_{σ δ σ}$ -spaces. The main result is that $A N R (ℝ^{n})$ is an absorber for the class of all absolute $G_{δ σ δ}$ -spaces and is therefore homeomorphic to the standard model space $Ω_{3}$ of this class.

Operators on C(ω^α) which do not preserve C(ω^α)

Dale Alspach (1997)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

It is shown that if α,ζ are ordinals such that 1 ≤ ζ < α < ζω, then there is an operator from $C (ω^{ω^{α}})$ onto itself such that if Y is a subspace of $C (ω^{ω^{α}})$ which is isomorphic to $C (ω^{ω^{α}})$ , then the operator is not an isomorphism on Y. This contrasts with a result of J. Bourgain that implies that there are uncountably many ordinals α for which for any operator from $C (ω^{ω^{α}})$ onto itself there is a subspace of $C (ω^{ω^{α}})$ which is isomorphic to $C (ω^{ω^{α}})$ on which the operator is an isomorphism.

A function space Cp(X) not linearly homeomorphic to Cp(X) × ℝ

Witold Marciszewski (1997)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We construct two examples of infinite spaces X such that there is no continuous linear surjection from the space of continuous functions $c_{p} (X)$ onto $c_{p} (X)$ × ℝ $. I n p a r t i c u l a r,$ cp(X) $i s n o t l i n e a r l y h o m e o m o r p h i c t o$ cp(X) $\times ℝ$ . One of these examples is compact. This answers some questions of Arkhangel’skiĭ.

Countable partitions of the sets of points and lines

James Schmerl (1999)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

The following theorem is proved, answering a question raised by Davies in 1963. If $L_{0} \cup L_{1} \cup L_{2} \cup . . .$ is a partition of the set of lines of $ℝ^{n}$ , then there is a partition $ℝ^{n} = S_{0} \cup S_{1} \cup S_{2} \cup . . .$ such that $| ℓ \cap S_{i} | \leq 2$ whenever $ℓ \in L_{i}$ . There are generalizations to some other, higher-dimensional subspaces, improving recent results of Erdős, Jackson Mauldin.

How to recognize a true Σ^0_3 set

Etienne Matheron (1998)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let X be a Polish space, and let ${(A_{p})}_{p \in ω}$ be a sequence of $G_{δ}$ hereditary subsets of K(X) (the space of compact subsets of X). We give a general criterion which allows one to decide whether $\cup_{p \in ω} A_{p}$ is a true $\sum_{3}^{0}$ subset of K(X). We apply this criterion to show that several natural families of thin sets from harmonic analysis are true $\sum_{3}^{0}$ .

Dugundji extenders and retracts on generalized ordered spaces

Gary Gruenhage, Yasunao Hattori, Haruto Ohta (1998)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

For a subspace A of a space X, a linear extender φ:C(A) → C(X) is called an $L_{c h}$ -extender (resp. $L_{c c h}$ -extender) if φ(f)[X] is included in the convex hull (resp. closed convex hull) of f[A] for each f ∈ C(A). Consider the following conditions (i)-(vii) for a closed subset A of a GO-space X: (i) A is a retract of X; (ii) A is a retract of the union of A and all clopen convex components of X; (iii) there is a continuous $L_{c h}$ -extender φ:C(A × Y) → C(X × Y), with respect to both the compact-open topology...

Universal spaces in the theory of transfinite dimension, II

Wojciech Olszewski (1994)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We construct a family of spaces with “nice” structure which is universal in the class of all compact metrizable spaces of large transfinite dimension $ω_{0}$ , or, equivalently, of small transfinite dimension $ω_{0}$ ; that is, the family consists of compact metrizable spaces whose transfinite dimension is $ω_{0}$ , and every compact metrizable space with transfinite dimension $ω_{0}$ is embeddable in a space of the family. We show that the least possible cardinality of such a universal family is equal to the...

A forcing construction of thin-tall Boolean algebras

Juan Martínez (1999)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

It was proved by Juhász and Weiss that for every ordinal α with $0 < α < ω_{2}$ there is a superatomic Boolean algebra of height α and width ω. We prove that if κ is an infinite cardinal such that $κ^{< κ} = κ$ and α is an ordinal such that $0 < α < κ^{+ +}$ , then there is a cardinal-preserving partial order that forces the existence of a superatomic Boolean algebra of height α and width κ. Furthermore, iterating this forcing through all $α < κ^{+ +}$ , we obtain a notion of forcing that preserves cardinals and such that in the corresponding...

More set-theory around the weak Freese–Nation property

Sakaé Fuchino, Lajos Soukup (1997)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We introduce a very weak version of the square principle which may hold even under failure of the generalized continuum hypothesis. Under this weak square principle, we give a new characterization (Theorem 10) of partial orderings with κ-Freese-Nation property (see below for the definition). The characterization is not a ZFC theorem: assuming Chang’s Conjecture for $ℵ_{ω}$ , we can find a counter-example to the characterization (Theorem 12). We then show that, in the model obtained by adding...

Spaces of upper semicontinuous multi-valued functions on complete metric spaces

Katsuro Sakai, Shigenori Uehara (1999)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let X = (X,d) be a metric space and let the product space X × ℝ be endowed with the metric ϱ ((x,t),(x’,t’)) = maxd(x,x’), |t - t’|. We denote by $U S C C_{B} (X)$ the space of bounded upper semicontinuous multi-valued functions φ : X → ℝ such that each φ(x) is a closed interval. We identify $φ \in U S C C_{B} (X)$ with its graph which is a closed subset of X × ℝ. The space $U S C C_{B} (X)$ admits the Hausdorff metric induced by ϱ. It is proved that if X = (X,d) is uniformly locally connected, non-compact and complete, then $U S C C_{B} (X)$ is homeomorphic...

An ordinal version of some applications of the classical interpolation theorem

Benoît Bossard (1997)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let E be a Banach space with a separable dual. Zippin’s theorem asserts that E embeds in a Banach space $E_{1}$ with a shrinking basis, and W. J. Davis, T. Figiel, W. B. Johnson and A. Pełczyński have shown that E is a quotient of a Banach space $E_{2}$ with a shrinking basis. These two results use the interpolation theorem established by W. J. Davis, T. Figiel, W. B. Johnson and A. Pełczyński. Here, we prove that the Szlenk indices of $E_{1}$ and $E_{2}$ can be controlled by the Szlenk index of E, where the...

The Zahorski theorem is valid in Gevrey classes

Jean Schmets, Manuel Valdivia (1996)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let Ω,F,G be a partition of $ℝ^{n}$ such that Ω is open, F is $F_{σ}$ and of the first category, and G is $G_{δ}$ . We prove that, for every γ ∈ ]1,∞[, there is an element of the Gevrey class Γγ which is analytic on Ω, has F as its set of defect points and has G as its set of divergence points.

The minimum uniform compactification of a metric space

R. Grant Woods (1995)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

It is shown that associated with each metric space (X,d) there is a compactification $u_{d} X$ of X that can be characterized as the smallest compactification of X to which each bounded uniformly continuous real-valued continuous function with domain X can be extended. Other characterizations of $u_{d} X$ are presented, and a detailed study of the structure of $u_{d} X$ is undertaken. This culminates in a topological characterization of the outgrowth $u_{d} ℝ^{n} ∖ ℝ^{n}$ , where $(ℝ^{n}, d)$ is Euclidean n-space with its usual metric. ...

Cantor manifolds in the theory of transfinite dimension

Wojciech Olszewski (1994)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

For every countable non-limit ordinal α we construct an α-dimensional Cantor ind-manifold, i.e., a compact metrizable space $Z_{α}$ such that $i n d Z_{α} = α$ , and no closed subset L of $Z_{α}$ with ind L less than the predecessor of α is a partition in $Z_{α}$ . An α-dimensional Cantor Ind-manifold can be constructed similarly.

An extension of a theorem of Marcinkiewicz and Zygmund on differentiability

S. Mukhopadhyay, S. Mitra (1996)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let f be a measurable function such that $Δ_{k} (x, h; f) = {O (| h |}^{λ})$ at each point x of a set E, where k is a positive integer, λ > 0 and $Δ_{k} (x, h; f)$ is the symmetric difference of f at x of order k. Marcinkiewicz and Zygmund [5] proved that if λ = k and if E is measurable then the Peano derivative $f_{(k)}$ exists a.e. on E. Here we prove that if λ > k-1 then the Peano derivative $f_{([λ])}$ exists a.e. on E and that the result is false if λ = k-1; it is further proved that if λ is any positive integer and if the approximate Peano...

On partitions of lines and space

Paul Erdös, Steve Jackson, R. Mauldin (1994)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We consider a set, L, of lines in $ℝ^{n}$ and a partition of L into some number of sets: $L = L_{1} \cup . . . \cup L_{p}$ . We seek a corresponding partition $ℝ^{n} = S_{1} \cup . . . \cup S_{p}$ such that each line l in $L_{i}$ meets the set $S_{i}$ in a set whose cardinality has some fixed bound, $ω_{τ}$ . We determine equivalences between the bounds on the size of the continuum, $2^{ω} \leq ω_{θ}$ , and some relationships between p, $ω_{τ}$ and $ω_{θ}$ .

Difference functions of periodic measurable functions

Tamás Keleti (1998)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We investigate some problems of the following type: For which sets H is it true that if f is in a given class ℱ of periodic functions and the difference functions $Δ_{h} f (x) = f (x + h) - f (x)$ are in a given smaller class G for every h ∈ H then f itself must be in G? Denoting the class of counter-example sets by ℌ(ℱ,G), that is, $ℌ (ℱ, G) = H \subset ℝ / ℤ : (\exists f \in ℱ G) (\forall h \in H) Δ_{h} f \in G$ , we try to characterize ℌ(ℱ,G) for some interesting classes of functions ℱ ⊃ G. We study classes of measurable functions on the circle group $𝕋 = ℝ / ℤ$ that are invariant for changes on null-sets...

A combinatorial approach to partitions with parts in the gaps

Dennis Eichhorn (1998)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

Many links exist between ordinary partitions and partitions with parts in the “gaps”. In this paper, we explore combinatorial explanations for some of these links, along with some natural generalizations. In particular, if we let $p_{k, m} (j, n)$ be the number of partitions of n into j parts where each part is ≡ k (mod m), 1 ≤ k ≤ m, and we let $p *_{k, m} (j, n)$ be the number of partitions of n into j parts where each part is ≡ k (mod m) with parts of size k in the gaps, then $p *_{k, m} (j, n) = p_{k, m} (j, n)$ .
