Open and proper maps between convergence spaces
We show that a (weakly) Whyburn space may be mapped continuously via an open map onto a non (weakly) Whyburn space . This fact may happen even between topological groups and , a homomorphism, Whyburn and not even weakly Whyburn.
It is known that the ring of all Baire functions carrying the pointwise convergence yields a sequential completion of the ring of all continuous functions. We investigate various sequential convergences related to the pointwise convergence and the process of completion of . In particular, we prove that the pointwise convergence fails to be strict and prove the existence of the categorical ring completion of which differs from .
We study a probabilistic generalization of Lowen's approach spaces. Such a probabilistic approach space is defined in terms of a probabilistic distance which assigns to a point and a subset a distance distribution function. We give a suitable axiom scheme and show that the resulting category is isomorphic to the category of left-continuous probabilistic topological convergence spaces and hence is a topological category. We further show that the category of Lowen's approach spaces is isomorphic to...
We solve the long standing problem of characterizing the class of strongly Fréchet spaces whose product with every strongly Fréchet space is also Fréchet.
We show that, under suitably general formulations, covering properties, accumulation properties and filter convergence are all equivalent notions. This general correspondence is exemplified in the study of products. We prove that a product is Lindelöf if and only if all subproducts by factors are Lindelöf. Parallel results are obtained for final -compactness, -compactness, the Menger and the Rothberger properties.
