Denote by spanf₁,f₂,... the collection of all finite linear combinations of the functions f₁,f₂,... over ℝ. The principal result of the paper is the following. Theorem (Full Clarkson-Erdős-Schwartz Theorem). Suppose ${\left({\lambda }_j\right)}_{j=1}^{\infty }$ is a sequence of distinct positive numbers. Then $span1,x^{\lambda ₁},x^{\lambda ₂},...$ is dense in C[0,1] if and only if ${\sum }_{j=1}^{\infty }\left({\lambda }_j\right)/({\lambda }_j²+1)=\infty$. Moreover, if ${\sum }_{j=1}^{\infty }\left({\lambda }_j\right)/({\lambda }_j²+1)<\infty$, then every function from the C[0,1] closure of $span1,x^{\lambda ₁},x^{\lambda ₂},...$ can be represented as an analytic function on z ∈ ℂ ∖ (-∞, 0]: |z| < 1 restricted to (0,1). This result improves an...

We prove that if $X$ is a first countable space with property $\left(DC\left({\omega }_1\right)\right)$ and with a $G_{\delta }$-diagonal then the cardinality of $X$ is at most $𝔠$. We also show that if $X$ is a first countable, DCCC, normal space then the extent of $X$ is at most $𝔠$.

We construct a Hausdorff topological group $G$ such that ${\aleph }_1$ is a precalibre of $G$ (hence, $G$ has countable cellularity), all countable subsets of $G$ are closed and $C$-embedded in $G$, but $G$ is not $ℝ$-factorizable. This solves Problem 8.6.3 from the book “Topological Groups and Related Structures" (2008) in the negative.

Let $L_c\left(X\right)=\{f\in C\left(X\right):\overline{C_f}=X\}$, where $C_f$ is the union of all open subsets $U\subseteq X$ such that $\left|f\left(U\right)\right|\le {\aleph }_0$. In this paper, we present a pointfree topology version of $L_c\left(X\right)$, named ${ℛ}_{\ell c}\left(L\right)$. We observe that ${ℛ}_{\ell c}\left(L\right)$ enjoys most of the important properties shared by $ℛ\left(L\right)$ and ${ℛ}_c\left(L\right)$, where ${ℛ}_c\left(L\right)$ is the pointfree version of all continuous functions of $C\left(X\right)$ with countable image. The interrelation between $ℛ\left(L\right)$, ${ℛ}_{\ell c}\left(L\right)$, and ${ℛ}_c\left(L\right)$ is examined. We show that $L_c\left(X\right)\cong {ℛ}_{\ell c}\left(𝔒\left(X\right)\right)$ for any space $X$. Frames $L$ for which ${ℛ}_{\ell c}\left(L\right)=ℛ\left(L\right)$ are characterized.

Let $X$ be a zero-dimensional space and $C_c\left(X\right)$ be the set of all continuous real valued functions on $X$ with countable image. In this article we denote by $C_c^K\left(X\right)$ (resp., $C_c^{\psi }\left(X\right))$ the set of all functions in $C_c\left(X\right)$ with compact (resp., pseudocompact) support. First, we observe that $C_c^K\left(X\right)=O_c^{{\beta }_{0}X\setminus X}$ (resp., $C_c^{\psi }\left(X\right)=M_c^{{\beta }_{0}X\setminus {\upsilon }_{0}X}$), where ${\beta }_{0}X$ is the Banaschewski compactification of $X$ and ${\upsilon }_{0}X$ is the $\mathbb{N}$-compactification of $X$. This implies that for an $\mathbb{N}$-compact space $X$, the intersection of all free maximal ideals in $C_c\left(X\right)$ is equal to $C_c^K\left(X\right)$, i.e., $M_c^{{\beta }_{0}X\setminus X}=C_c^K\left(X\right)$. By applying...

The first author has recently proved that if f: X → Y is a k-dimensional map between compacta and Y is p-dimensional (0 ≤ k, p < ∞), then for each 0 ≤ i ≤ p + k, the set of maps g in the space $C(X,I^{p+2k+1-i})$ such that the diagonal product $f\times g:X\to Y\times I^{p+2k+1-i}$ is an (i+1)-to-1 map is a dense $G_{\delta }$-subset of $C(X,I^{p+2k+1-i})$. In this paper, we prove that if f: X → Y is as above and $D_j$ (j = 1,..., k) are superdendrites, then the set of maps h in $C(X,{\prod }_{j=1}^k{D}_j\times I^{p+1-i})$ such that $f\times h:X\to Y\times \left({\prod }_{j=1}^k{D}_j\times I^{p+1-i}\right)$ is (i+1)-to-1 is a dense $G_{\delta }$-subset of $C(X,{\prod }_{j=1}^k{D}_j\times I^{p+1-i})$ for each 0 ≤ i ≤ p.

In a Tychonoff space $X$, the point $p\in X$ is called a $C^{*}$-point if every real-valued continuous function on $C\setminus \left\{p\right\}$ can be extended continuously to $p$. Every point in an extremally disconnected space is a $C^{*}$-point. A classic example is the space ${𝐖}^{*}={\omega }_1+1$ consisting of the countable ordinals together with ${\omega }_1$. The point ${\omega }_1$ is known to be a $C^{*}$-point as well as a $P$-point. We supply a characterization of $C^{*}$-points in totally ordered spaces. The remainder of our time is aimed at studying when a point in a product space...

Let us denote by $\Phi (\lambda ,\mu )$ the statement that $𝔹\left(\lambda \right)=D{\left(\lambda \right)}^{\omega }$, i.e. the Baire space of weight $\lambda$, has a coloring with $\mu$ colors such that every homeomorphic copy of the Cantor set $ℂ$ in $𝔹\left(\lambda \right)$ picks up all the $\mu$ colors. We call a space $X$ $\pi$-regular if it is Hausdorff and for every nonempty open set $U$ in $X$ there is a nonempty open set $V$ such that $\overline{V}\subset U$. We recall that a space $X$ is called feebly compact if every locally finite collection of open sets in $X$ is finite. A Tychonov space is pseudocompact if and...

We show that any ${\Sigma }_s$-product of at most $𝔠$-many $L\Sigma (\le \omega )$-spaces has the $L\Sigma (\le \omega )$-property. This result generalizes some known results about $L\Sigma (\le \omega )$-spaces. On the other hand, we prove that every ${\Sigma }_s$-product of monotonically monolithic spaces is monotonically monolithic, and in a similar form, we show that every ${\Sigma }_s$-product of Collins-Roscoe spaces has the Collins-Roscoe property. These results generalize some known results about the Collins-Roscoe spaces and answer some questions due to Tkachuk [Lifting the Collins-Roscoe...

Let $P$ be a topological property. A space $X$ is said to be star P if whenever $𝒰$ is an open cover of $X$, there exists a subspace $A\subseteq X$ with property $P$ such that $X=St(A,𝒰)$. In this note, we construct a Tychonoff pseudocompact SCE-space which is not star Lindelöf, which gives a negative answer to a question of Rojas-Sánchez and Tamariz-Mascarúa.
