Graph topologies and uniform convergence in quasi-uniform spaces.
We prove that if some power of a space X is rectifiable, then is rectifiable. It follows that no power of the Sorgenfrey line is a topological group and this answers a question of Arhangel’skiĭ. We also show that in Mal’tsev spaces of point-countable type, character and π-character coincide.
The local coincidence of the Hausdorff topology and the uniform convergence topology on the hyperspace consisting of closed graphs of multivalued (or continuous) functions is related to the existence of continuous functions which fail to be uniformly continuous. The problem of the local coincidence of these topologies on is investigated for some classes of spaces: topological groups, zero-dimensional spaces, metric manifolds.
For a given mapping f between continua we consider the induced mappings between the corresponding hyperspaces of closed subsets or of subcontinua. It is shown that if either of the two induced mappings is hereditarily weakly confluent (or hereditarily confluent, or hereditarily monotone, or atomic), then f is a homeomorphism, and consequently so are both the induced mappings. Similar results are obtained for mappings between cones over the domain and over the range continua.
The classical Erdös spaces are obtained as the subspaces of real separable Hilbert space consisting of the points with all coordinates rational or all coordinates irrational, respectively. One can create variations by specifying in which set each coordinate is allowed to vary. We investigate the homogeneity of the resulting subspaces. Our two main results are: in case all coordinates are allowed to vary in the same set the subspace need not be homogeneous, and by specifying different sets for different...
We deal with a hyperspace selection problem in the setting of connected spaces. We present two solutions of this problem illustrating the difference between selections for the nonempty closed sets, and those for the at most two-point sets. In the first case, we obtain a characterisation of compact orderable spaces. In the latter case --- that of selections for at most two-point sets, the same selection property is equivalent to the existence of a ternary relation on the space, known as a cyclic...
It is shown that the hyperspace of a connected CW-complex is an absolute retract for stratifiable spaces, where the hyperspace is the space of non-empty compact (connected) sets with the Vietoris topology.
By Fin(X) (resp. ), we denote the hyperspace of all non-empty finite subsets of X (resp. consisting of at most k points) with the Vietoris topology. Let ℓ₂(τ) be the Hilbert space with weight τ and the linear span of the canonical orthonormal basis of ℓ₂(τ). It is shown that if or E is an absorbing set in ℓ₂(τ) for one of the absolute Borel classes and of weight ≤ τ (α > 0) then Fin(E) and each are homeomorphic to E. More generally, if X is a connected E-manifold then Fin(X) is homeomorphic...
