Extension of Lipschitz mappings on metric trees
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...
We present an approach to cohomological dimension theory based on infinite symmetric products and on the general theory of dimension called the extension dimension. The notion of the extension dimension ext-dim(X) was introduced by A. N. Dranishnikov [9] in the context of compact spaces and CW complexes. This paper investigates extension types of infinite symmetric products SP(L). One of the main ideas of the paper is to treat ext-dim(X) ≤ SP(L) as the fundamental concept of cohomological dimension...
We prove an abstract version of the Kuratowski extension theorem for Borel measurable maps of a given class. It enables us to deduce and improve its nonseparable version due to Hansell. We also study the ranges of not necessarily injective Borel bimeasurable maps f and show that some control on the relative classes of preimages and images of Borel sets under f enables one to get a bound on the absolute class of the range of f. This seems to be of some interest even within separable spaces.
