Spaces and equations

Walter Taylor (2000)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

It is proved, for various spaces A, such as a surface of genus 2, a figure-eight, or a sphere of dimension ≠ 1,3,7, and for any set Σ of equations, that Σ cannot be modeled by continuous operations on A unless Σ is undemanding (a form of triviality that is defined in the paper).

Stabilizers of closed sets in the Urysohn space

Julien Melleray (2006)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Building on earlier work of Katětov, Uspenskij proved in [8] that the group of isometries of Urysohn's universal metric space 𝕌, endowed with the pointwise convergence topology, is a universal Polish group (i.e. it contains an isomorphic copy of any Polish group). Answering a question of Gao and Kechris, we prove here the following, more precise result: for any Polish group G, there exists a closed subset F of 𝕌 such that G is topologically isomorphic to the group of isometries of 𝕌 which map...

Strong continuity of semigroup homomorphisms

Bolis Basit, A. Pryde (1999)

Studia Mathematica

Let J be an abelian topological semigroup and C a subset of a Banach space X. Let L(X) be the space of bounded linear operators on X and Lip(C) the space of Lipschitz functions ⨍: C → C. We exhibit a large class of semigroups J for which every weakly continuous semigroup homomorphism T: J → L(X) is necessarily strongly continuous. Similar results are obtained for weakly continuous homomorphisms T: J → Lip(C) and for strongly measurable homomorphisms T: J → L(X).

Strong reflexivity of Abelian groups

Montserrat Bruguera, María Jesús Chasco (2001)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

A reflexive topological group G is called strongly reflexive if each closed subgroup and each Hausdorff quotient of the group G and of its dual group is reflexive. In this paper we establish an adequate concept of strong reflexivity for convergence groups. We prove that complete metrizable nuclear groups and products of countably many locally compact topological groups are BB-strongly reflexive.
