The convexity of the subset space of a metric space
We prove that, for any Hausdorff continuum X, if dim X ≥ 2 then the hyperspace C(X) of subcontinua of X is not a C-space; if dim X = 1 and X is hereditarily indecomposable then either dim C(X) = 2 or C(X) is not a C-space. This generalizes some results known for metric continua.
In this paper the following two propositions are proved: (a) If , , is an infinite system of connected spaces such that infinitely many of them are nondegenerated completely Hausdorff topological spaces then the box product can be decomposed into continuum many disjoint nonempty open subsets, in particular, it is disconnected. (b) If , , is an infinite system of Brown Hausdorff topological spaces then the box product is also Brown Hausdorff, and hence, it is connected. A space is Brown if...
In this paper we define a space σ(X) for approximate systems of compact spaces. The construction is due to H. Freudenthal for usual inverse sequences [4, p. 153–156]. We establish the following properties of this space: (1) The space σ(X) is a paracompact space, (2) Moreover, if X is an approximate sequence of compact (metric) spaces, then σ(X) is a compact (metric) space (Lemma 2.4). We give the following applications of the space σ(X): (3) If X is an approximate system of continua, then X = limX...
We disprove the existence of a universal object in several classes of spaces including the class of weakly Lindelöf Banach spaces.
We establish a relation between covering properties (e.gĿindelöf degree) of two standard topological spaces (Lemmas 4 and 5). Some cardinal inequalities follow as easy corollaries.
It is shown that the hyperspace of non-empty finite subsets of a space X is an ANR (an AR) for stratifiable spaces if and only if X is a 2-hyper-locally-connected (and connected) stratifiable space.
We introduce and study, following Z. Frol’ık, the class of regular -spaces such that the product is pseudo--compact, for every regular pseudo--compact -space . We show that every pseudo--compact space which is locally is in and that every regular Lindelöf -space belongs to . It is also proved that all pseudo--compact -groups are in . The problem of characterization of subgroups of -factorizable (equivalently, pseudo--compact) -groups is considered as well. We give some necessary...
