A quest for nice kernels of neighbourhood assignments

Raushan Z. Buzyakova, Vladimir Vladimirovich Tkachuk, Richard Gordon Wilson (2007)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Given a topological property (or a class) 𝒫 , the class 𝒫 * dual to 𝒫 (with respect to neighbourhood assignments) consists of spaces X such that for any neighbourhood assignment { O x : x X } there is Y X with Y 𝒫 and { O x : x Y } = X . The spaces from 𝒫 * are called dually 𝒫 . We continue the study of this duality which constitutes a development of an idea of E. van Douwen used to define D -spaces. We prove a number of results on duals of some general classes of spaces establishing, in particular, that any generalized ordered space...

A relatively free topological group that is not varietal free

Vladimir Pestov, Dmitri Shakhmatov (1998)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Answering a 1982 question of Sidney A. Morris, we construct a topological group G and a subspace X such that (i) G is algebraically free over X, (ii) G is relatively free over X, that is, every continuous mapping from X to G extends to a unique continuous endomorphism of G, and (iii) G is not a varietal free topological group on X in any variety of topological groups.

A solution to Comfort's question on the countable compactness of powers of a topological group

Artur Hideyuki Tomita (2005)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

In 1990, Comfort asked Question 477 in the survey book “Open Problems in Topology”: Is there, for every (not necessarily infinite) cardinal number α 2 , a topological group G such that G γ is countably compact for all cardinals γ < α, but G α is not countably compact? Hart and van Mill showed in 1991 that α = 2 answers this question affirmatively under M A c o u n t a b l e . Recently, Tomita showed that every finite cardinal answers Comfort’s question in the affirmative, also from M A c o u n t a b l e . However, the question has remained...
