We investigate free groups over sequential spaces. In particular, we show that the free $k$-group and the free sequential group over a sequential space with unique limits coincide and, barred the trivial case, their sequential order is ${\omega }_1$.

If X is a quasitopological space -Spanier space in this paper-, a topological space q X can be associated to X. A subset F of X is called closed if it is closed in q X. Interesting properties of the closed subspaces of a quasitopological space are examined.

We prove that if there is a model of set-theory which contains no first countable, locally compact, scattered, countably paracompact space $X$, whose Tychonoff square is a Dowker space, then there is an inner model which contains a measurable cardinal.

We prove that every nonmetrizable compact connected Abelian group G has a family H of size |G|, the maximal size possible, consisting of proper dense pseudocompact subgroups of G such that H ∩ H'={0} for distinct H,H' ∈ H. An easy example shows that connectedness of G is essential in the above result. In the general case we establish that every nonmetrizable compact Abelian group G has a family H of size |G| consisting of proper dense pseudocompact subgroups of G such that each intersection H H'...

It is shown that the same probabilistic metric as used by Schweizer and Sklar to obtain all Lp space metrics can be used to derive the metrics of Orlicz spaces.

If the minimum problem (${𝒫}_{\mathrm{\infty }}$) is the limit, in a variational sense, of a sequence of minimum problems with obstacles of the type $$\underset{u\ge {\varphi }_h}{\min }{\int }_{\mathrm{\Omega }}\left[f_h(x,Du)+a(x,u)\right]dx,$$ then (${𝒫}_{\mathrm{\infty }}$) can be written in the form $${𝒫}_{\infty }\underset{u}{min}\left\{{\int }_{\Omega }\left[f_{\infty }(x,Du)+a(x,u)\right]dx+{\int }_{\overline{\Omega }}{g}_{\infty }(x,\overline{u}\left(x\right))d{\mu }_{\infty }\left(x\right)\right\}$$ without any additional constraint.

Se il problema di minimo $({𝒫}_{\mathrm{\infty }})$ è il limite, in senso variazionale, di una successione di problemi di minimo con ostacoli del tipo $$\underset{u\ge {\psi }_h}{\min }{\int }_A\left[f_h(x,u,Du)+b(x,u)\right]dx,$$ allora $({𝒫}_{\mathrm{\infty }})$ può essere scritto nella forma $$\underset{u}{\min }\left\{{\int }_A\left[f_{\mathrm{\infty }}(x,u,Du)+b(x,u)\right]dx+{\int }_A{g}_{\mathrm{\infty }}(x,\tilde{u}(x))d{\lambda }_{\mathrm{\infty }}(x)\right\}$$ dove $\tilde{u}$ è un conveniente rappresentante di $u$ e ${\lambda }_{\mathrm{\infty }}$ è una misura non negativa.

Arhangel’skii proved that if a first countable Hausdorff space is Lindelöf, then its cardinality is at most $2^{\aleph ₀}$. Such a clean upper bound for Lindelöf spaces in the larger class of spaces whose points are $G_{\delta }$ has been more elusive. In this paper we continue the agenda started by the second author, [Topology Appl. 63 (1995)], of considering the cardinality problem for spaces satisfying stronger versions of the Lindelöf property. Infinite games and selection principles, especially the Rothberger property,...

In [1] the author showed that if there is a cardinal κ such that $2^{\kappa }={\kappa }^{+}$ then there exists a completely regular space without dense 0-dimensional subspaces. This was a solution of a problem of Arkhangel’skiĭ. Recently Arkhangel’skiĭ asked the author whether one can generalize this result by constructing a completely regular space without dense totally disconnected subspaces, and whether such a space can have a structure of a linear space. The purpose of this paper is to show that indeed such a space can...
