Extending Stechkin's theorem and beyond.
We show that the ideal of nowhere dense subsets of rationals cannot be extended to an analytic P-ideal, ideal nor maximal P-ideal. We also consider a problem of extendability to a non-meager P-ideals (in particular, to maximal P-ideals).
We prove some extension theorems involving uniformly continuous maps of the universal Urysohn space. As an application, we prove reconstruction theorems for certain groups of autohomeomorphisms of this space and of its open subsets.
A classical theorem of Kuratowski says that every Baire one function on a subspace of a Polish (= separable completely metrizable) space X can be extended to a Baire one function on X. Kechris and Louveau introduced a finer gradation of Baire one functions into small Baire classes. A Baire one function f is assigned into a class in this hierarchy depending on its oscillation index β(f). We prove a refinement of Kuratowski’s theorem: if Y is a subspace of a metric space X and f is a real-valued...
If a metric subspace Mº of an arbitrary metric space M carries a doubling measure μ, then there is a simultaneous linear extension of all Lipschitz functions on Mº ranged in a Banach space to those on M. Moreover, the norm of this linear operator is controlled by logarithm of the doubling constant of μ.
We present a categorical approach to the extension of probabilities, i.e. normed -additive measures. J. Novák showed that each bounded -additive measure on a ring of sets is sequentially continuous and pointed out the topological aspects of the extension of such measures on over the generated -ring : it is of a similar nature as the extension of bounded continuous functions on a completely regular topological space over its Čech-Stone compactification (or as the extension of continuous...
It is proved that every non trivial continuous map between the sets of extremal elements of monotone sequential cascades can be continuously extended to some subcascades. This implies a result of Franklin and Rajagopalan that an Arens space cannot be continuously non trivially mapped to an Arens space of higher rank. As an application, it is proved that if for a filter on , the class of -radial topologies contains each sequential topology, then it includes the class of subsequential topologies....
A subspace A of a topological space X is said to be -embedded ((point-finite)-embedded) in X if every (point-finite) partition of unity α on A with |α| ≤ γ extends to a (point-finite) partition of unity on X. The main results are: (Theorem A) A subspace A of X is (point-finite)-embedded in X iff it is -embedded and every countable intersection B of cozero-sets in X with B ∩ A = ∅ can be separated from A by a cozero-set in X. (Theorem B) The product A × [0,1] is (point-finite)-embedded in X...
We study extension operators between spaces of continuous functions on the spaces of subsets of X of cardinality at most n. As an application, we show that if is the unit ball of a nonseparable Hilbert space H equipped with the weak topology, then, for any 0 < λ < μ, there is no extension operator .
We characterize, in terms of X, the extensional dimension of the Stone-Čech corona βX∖X of a locally compact and Lindelöf space X. The non-Lindelöf case is also settled in terms of extending proper maps with values in , where L is a finite complex. Further, for a finite complex L, an uncountable cardinal τ and a -set X in the Tikhonov cube we find a necessary and sufficient condition, in terms of , for X to be in the class AE([L]). We also introduce a concept of a proper absolute extensor and...
