The existence of critical values in an abstract perturbation problem.
The simple topological measures X* on a q-space X are shown to be a superextension of X. Properties inherited from superextensions to topological measures are presented. The homology groups of various subsets of X* are calculated. For a q-space X, X* is shown to be a q-space. The homology of X* when X is the annulus is calculated. The homology of X* when X is a more general genus one space is investigated. In particular, X* for the torus is shown to have a retract homeomorphic to an infinite product...
We study Palamodov's derived projective limit functor Proj¹ for projective spectra consisting of webbed locally convex spaces introduced by Wilde. This class contains almost all locally convex spaces appearing in analysis. We provide a natural characterization for the vanishing of Proj¹ which generalizes and unifies results of Palamodov and Retakh for spectra of Fréchet and (LB)-spaces. We thus obtain a general tool for solving surjectivity problems in analysis.
Lindenstrauss-Pełczyński (for short ℒ) spaces were introduced by these authors [Studia Math. 174 (2006)] as those Banach spaces X such that every operator from a subspace of c₀ into X can be extended to the whole c₀. Here we obtain the following structure theorem: a separable Banach space X is an ℒ-space if and only if every subspace of c₀ is placed in X in a unique position, up to automorphisms of X. This, in combination with a result of Kalton [New York J. Math. 13 (2007)], provides a negative...
