Fibrewise exponential laws in a quasitopos
For non-empty topological spaces X and Y and arbitrary families ⊆ and we put =f ∈ : (∀ A ∈ )(f[A] ∈ . We examine which classes of functions ⊆ can be represented as . We are mainly interested in the case when is the class of all continuous functions from X into Y. We prove that for a non-discrete Tikhonov space X the class (X,ℝ) is not equal to for any ⊆ and ⊆ (ℝ). Thus, (X,ℝ) cannot be characterized by images of sets. We also show that none of the following classes of...
It is shown that if Ω = Q or Ω = ℓ 2, then there exists a functor of extension of maps between Z-sets in Ω to mappings of Ω into itself. This functor transforms homeomorphisms into homeomorphisms, thus giving a functorial setting to a well-known theorem of Anderson [Anderson R.D., On topological infinite deficiency, Michigan Math. J., 1967, 14, 365–383]. It also preserves convergence of sequences of mappings, both pointwise and uniform on compact sets, and supremum distances as well as uniform continuity,...
We define perfect morphisms to be those which are the pullback of their image under a given endofunctor. The interplay of these morphisms with other generalisations of perfect maps is investigated. In particular, closure operator theory is used to link closure and orthogonality properties of such morphisms. A number of detailed examples are given.
