Non-constant continuous maps of modifications of topological spaces
We prove that if ℱ is a non-meager P-filter, then both ℱ and are countable dense homogeneous spaces.
We revisit an old question of Knaster by demonstrating that each non-degenerate plane hereditarily unicoherent continuum X contains a proper, non-degenerate subcontinuum which does not separate X.
Let λ be an ordinal number. It is shown that normality, collectionwise normality and shrinking are equivalent for all subspaces of .
One of the most celebrated results in the theory of hyperspaces says that if the Vietoris topology on the family of all nonempty closed subsets of a given space is normal, then the space is compact (Ivanova-Keesling-Velichko). The known proofs use cardinality arguments and are long. In this paper we present a short proof using known results concerning Hausdorff uniformities.
We consider the hyperspace of nonempty closed subsets of completely metrizable space endowed with the Wijsman topologies . If is separable and , are two metrics generating the topology of , every countable set closed in has isolated points in . For , this implies a theorem of Costantini on topological completeness of . We show that for nonseparable the hyperspace may contain a closed copy of the rationals. This answers a question of Zsilinszky.
