On symmetric products
Answering a question of Telgársky in the negative, it is shown that there is a space which is β-favorable in the strong Choquet game, but all of its nonempty -subspaces are of the second category in themselves.
We prove that the cardinality of power homogeneous Hausdorff spaces X is bounded by . This inequality improves many known results and it also solves a question by J. van Mill. We further introduce Δ-power homogeneity, which leads to a new proof of van Douwen’s theorem.
In the framework of ZF (Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory without the Axiom of Choice) we provide topological and Boolean-algebraic characterizations of the statements " is countably compact" and " is compact"
We calculate the density of the hyperspace of a metric space, endowed with the Hausdorff or the locally finite topology. To this end, we introduce suitable generalizations of the notions of totally bounded and compact metric space.
We introduce a functor of order-preserving functionals which contains some known functors as subfunctors. It is shown that this functor is weakly normal and generates a monad.
It is shown that every Polish space X with admits a compact subspace Y such that where and denote the topological and Hausdorff dimensions, respectively.
