A.V. Arkhangel’skii asked that, is it true that every space $Y$ of countable tightness is homeomorphic to a subspace (to a closed subspace) of $C_p\left(X\right)$ where $X$ is Lindelöf? $C_p\left(X\right)$ denotes the space of all continuous real-valued functions on a space $X$ with the topology of pointwise convergence. In this note we show that the two arrows space is a counterexample for the problem by showing that every separable compact linearly ordered topological space is second countable if it is homeomorphic to a subspace of $C_p\left(X\right)$...

For $k\in \mathbb{N}\cup \left\{\infty \right\}$ and $U$ open in $ℝ$, let ${\mathrm{C}}^k\left(U\right)$ be the ring of real valued functions on $U$ with the first $k$ derivatives continuous. It is shown that for $f\in {\mathrm{C}}^k\left(U\right)$ there is $g\in {\mathrm{C}}^{\infty }\left(ℝ\right)$ with $U\subseteq \mathrm{coz}g$ and $h\in {\mathrm{C}}^k\left(ℝ\right)$ with ${fg|}_U{=h|}_U$. The function $f$ and its $k$ derivatives are not assumed to be bounded on $U$. The function $g$ is constructed using splines based on the Mollifier function. Some consequences about the ring ${\mathrm{C}}^k\left(ℝ\right)$ are deduced from this, in particular that ${\mathrm{Q}}_{\mathrm{cl}}\left({\mathrm{C}}^k\left(ℝ\right)\right)=\mathrm{Q}\left({\mathrm{C}}^k\left(ℝ\right)\right)$.

In this note we study the relation between $k_R$-spaces and $k$-spaces and prove that a $k_R$-space with a $\sigma$-hereditarily closure-preserving $k$-network consisting of compact subsets is a $k$-space, and that a $k_R$-space with a point-countable $k$-network consisting of compact subsets need not be a $k$-space.

Let $ℛL$ be the ring of real-valued continuous functions on a frame $L$. The aim of this paper is to study the relation between minimality of ideals $I$ of $ℛL$ and the set of all zero sets in $L$ determined by elements of $I$. To do this, the concepts of coz-disjointness, coz-spatiality and coz-density are introduced. In the case of a coz-dense frame $L$, it is proved that the $f$-ring $ℛL$ is isomorphic to the $f$-ring $C\left(\Sigma L\right)$ of all real continuous functions on the topological space $\Sigma L$. Finally, a one-one correspondence is...

For a completely regular space X, C*(X) denotes the algebra of all bounded real-valued continuous functions over X. We consider the topology of uniform convergence over C*(X).When K is a compact space, the Stone-Weierstrass and Kakutani-Stone theorems provide necessary and sufficient conditions under which a function f ∈ C*(K) can be uniformly approximated by members of an algebra, lattice or vector lattice of C*(K). In this way, the uniform closure and, in particular, the uniform density of algebras...

It is proved that the following conditions are equivalent: (a) f is an almost everywhere continuous function on ${ℝ}^m$; (b) f = g + h, where g,h are strongly quasicontinuous on ${ℝ}^m$; (c) f = c + gh, where c ∈ ℝ and g,h are strongly quasicontinuous on ${ℝ}^m$.

Let I ⊆ P(ω) be an ideal. We continue our investigation of the class of spaces with the I-ideal convergence property, denoted (I). We show that if I is an analytic, non-countably generated P-ideal then (I) ⊆ s₀. If in addition I is non-pathological and not isomorphic to $I_b$, then (I) spaces have measure zero. We also present a characterization of the (I) spaces using clopen covers.

In the paper we obtain several characteristics of pre-$T_2$ of strongly preirresolute topological vector spaces and show that the extreme point of a convex subset of a strongly preirresolute topological vector space $X$ lies on the boundary.
