Weak continuity of fuzzy-valued maps
We explore (weak) continuity properties of group operations. For this purpose, the Novak number and developability number are applied. It is shown that if is a regular right (left) semitopological group with such that all left (right) translations are feebly continuous, then is a topological group. This extends several results in literature.
If is a space, then the weak extent of is the cardinal If is an open cover of , then there exists such that and . In this note, we show that if is a normal space such that and , then does not have a closed discrete subset of cardinality . We show that this result cannot be strengthened in ZFC to get that the extent of is smaller than , even if the condition that is replaced by the stronger condition that is separable.
We demonstrate that a second countable space is weakly orderable if and only if it has a continuous weak selection. This provides a partial positive answer to a question of van Mill and Wattel.
We show that if a Hausdorff topological space satisfies one of the following properties: a) has a countable, discrete dense subset and is hereditarily collectionwise Hausdorff; b) has a discrete dense subset and admits a countable base; then the existence of a (continuous) weak selection on implies weak orderability. As a special case of either item a) or b), we obtain the result for every separable metrizable space with a discrete dense subset.
We demonstrate that every Vietoris continuous selection for the hyperspace of at most 3-point subsets implies the existence of a continuous selection for the hyperspace of at most 4-point subsets. However, in general, we do not know if such ``extensions'' are possible for hyperspaces of sets of other cardinalities. In particular, we do not know if the hyperspace of at most 3-point subsets has a continuous selection provided the hyperspace of at most 2-point subsets has a continuous selection.
It is proved that for a zero-dimensional space , the function space has a Vietoris continuous selection for its hyperspace of at most 2-point sets if and only if is separable. This provides the complete affirmative solution to a question posed by Tamariz-Mascarúa. It is also obtained that for a strongly zero-dimensional metrizable space , the function space is weakly orderable if and only if its hyperspace of at most 2-point sets has a Vietoris continuous selection. This provides a partial...
It is shown that certain weak-base structures on a topological space give a -space. This solves the question by A.V. Arhangel’skii of when quotient images of metric spaces are -spaces. A related result about symmetrizable spaces also answers a question of Arhangel’skii. Theorem.Any symmetrizable space is a -space hereditarily. Hence, quotient mappings, with compact fibers, from metric spaces have a -space image. What about quotient -mappings? Arhangel’skii and Buzyakova have shown that...
