A categorical account of the localic closed subgroup theorem

Christopher Townsend (2007)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Given an axiomatic account of the category of locales the closed subgroup theorem is proved. The theorem is seen as a consequence of a categorical account of the Hofmann-Mislove theorem. The categorical account has an order dual providing a new result for locale theory: every compact subgroup is necessarily fitted.

A categorical concept of completion of objects

Guillaume C. L. Brümmer, Eraldo Giuli (1992)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We introduce the concept of firm classes of morphisms as basis for the axiomatic study of completions of objects in arbitrary categories. Results on objects injective with respect to given morphism classes are included. In a finitely well-complete category, firm classes are precisely the coessential first factors of morphism factorization structures.

A characterization of dendroids by the n-connectedness of the Whitney levels

Alejandro Illanes (1992)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Let X be a continuum. Let C(X) denote the hyperspace of all subcontinua of X. In this paper we prove that the following assertions are equivalent: (a) X is a dendroid, (b) each positive Whitney level in C(X) is 2-connected, and (c) each positive Whitney level in C(X) is ∞-connected (n-connected for each n ≥ 0).

A continuum X such that C ( X ) is not continuously homogeneous

Alejandro Illanes (2016)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

A metric continuum X is said to be continuously homogeneous provided that for every two points p , q X there exists a continuous surjective function f : X X such that f ( p ) = q . Answering a question by W.J. Charatonik and Z. Garncarek, in this paper we show a continuum X such that the hyperspace of subcontinua of X , C ( X ) , is not continuously homogeneous.

A Corson compact L-space from a Suslin tree

Peter Nyikos (2015)

Colloquium Mathematicae

The completion of a Suslin tree is shown to be a consistent example of a Corson compact L-space when endowed with the coarse wedge topology. The example has the further properties of being zero-dimensional and monotonically normal.
