On inhomogeneity of products of compact F-spaces
For a functor on the category of metrizable compacta, we introduce a conception of a linear functorial operator extending (for each ) pseudometrics from onto (briefly LFOEP for ). The main result states that the functor of -symmetric power admits a LFOEP if and only if the action of on has a one-point orbit. Since both the hyperspace functor and the probability measure functor contain as a subfunctor, this implies that both and do not admit LFOEP.
Among completely regular locales, we characterize those that have the feature described in the title. They are, of course, localic analogues of what are called -isocompact spaces. They have been considered in T. Dube, I. Naidoo, C. N. Ncube (2014), so here we give new characterizations that do not appear in this reference.
We call a function P-preserving if, for every subspace with property P, its image also has property P. Of course, all continuous maps are both compactness- and connectedness-preserving and the natural question about when the converse of this holds, i.e. under what conditions such a map is continuous, has a long history. Our main result is that any nontrivial product function, i.e. one having at least two nonconstant factors, that has connected domain, range, and is connectedness-preserving...
A Mazurkiewicz set is a subset of a plane with the property that each straight line intersects in exactly two points. We modify the original construction to obtain a Mazurkiewicz set which does not contain vertices of an equilateral triangle or a square. This answers some questions by L.D. Loveland and S.M. Loveland. We also use similar methods to construct a bounded noncompact, nonconnected generalized Mazurkiewicz set.
The set of points of upper semicontinuity of multi-valued mappings with a closed graph is studied. A topology on the space of multi-valued mappings with a closed graph is introduced.
A subset of a product of topological spaces is called -thin if every its two distinct points differ in at least coordinates. We generalize a construction of Gruenhage, Natkaniec, and Piotrowski, and obtain, under CH, a countable space without isolated points such that contains an -thin dense subset, but does not contain any -thin dense subset. We also observe that part of the construction can be carried out under MA.
