-irresolute mappings.
Let denote a true dimension function, i.e., a dimension function such that for all . For a space , we denote the hyperspace consisting of all compact connected, non-empty subsets by . If is a countable infinite product of non-degenerate Peano continua, then the sequence is -absorbing in . As a consequence, there is a homeomorphism such that for all , , where denotes the pseudo boundary of the Hilbert cube . It follows that if is a countable infinite product of non-degenerate...
We prove that an -additive cover of a Čech complete, or more generally scattered-K-analytic space, has a σ-scattered refinement. This generalizes results of G. Koumoullis and R. W. Hansell.
It is proved that -mappings preserve absolute Borel classes, which improves results of R. W. Hansell, J. E. Jayne and C. A. Rogers. The proof is based on the fact that any -mapping f: X → Y of an absolute Suslin metric space X onto an absolute Suslin metric space Y becomes a piecewise perfect mapping when restricted to a suitable -set satisfying .
The notion of -normality was introduced and studied by Arhangel’skii, Ludwig in 2001. Recently, almost -normal spaces, which is a simultaneous generalization of -normal and almost normal spaces, were introduced by Das, Bhat and Tartir. We introduce a new generalization of normality, namely weak -normality, in terms of -closed sets, which turns out to be a simultaneous generalization of -normality and -normality. A space is said to be weakly -normal (w-normal if for every pair of disjoint...
Right factorizations for a class of l.s.cṁappings with separable metrizable range are constructed. Besides in the selection and dimension theories, these l.s.cḟactorizations are also successful in solving the problem of factorizing a class of u.s.cṁappings.
An embedding from a Cartesian product of two spaces into the Cartesian product of two spaces is said to be factorwise rigid provided that it is the product of embeddings on the individual factors composed with a permutation of the coordinates. We prove that each embedding of a product of two pseudo-arcs into itself is factorwise rigid. As a consequence, if X and Y are metric continua with the property that each of their nondegenerate proper subcontinua is homeomorphic to the pseudo-arc, then X ×...
