A note on condensations of C p ( X ) onto compacta

Aleksander V. Arhangel'skii, Oleg I. Pavlov (2002)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

A condensation is a one-to-one continuous mapping onto. It is shown that the space C p ( X ) of real-valued continuous functions on X in the topology of pointwise convergence very often cannot be condensed onto a compact Hausdorff space. In particular, this is so for any non-metrizable Eberlein compactum X (Theorem 19). However, there exists a non-metrizable compactum X such that C p ( X ) condenses onto a metrizable compactum (Theorem 10). Several curious open problems are formulated.

A note on linear mappings between function spaces

Jan Baars (1993)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Arhangel’skiǐ proved that if X and Y are completely regular spaces such that C p ( X ) and C p ( Y ) are linearly homeomorphic, then X is pseudocompact if and only if Y is pseudocompact. In addition he proved the same result for compactness, σ -compactness and realcompactness. In this paper we prove that if φ : C p ( X ) C p ( X ) is a continuous linear surjection, then Y is pseudocompact provided X is and if φ is a continuous linear injection, then X is pseudocompact provided Y is. We also give examples that both statements do not hold...

A Ramsey theorem for polyadic spaces

Murray Bell (1996)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

A polyadic space is a Hausdorff continuous image of some power of the one-point compactification of a discrete space. We prove a Ramsey-like property for polyadic spaces which for Boolean spaces can be stated as follows: every uncountable clopen collection contains an uncountable subcollection which is either linked or disjoint. One corollary is that ( α κ ) ω is not a universal preimage for uniform Eberlein compact spaces of weight at most κ, thus answering a question of Y. Benyamini, M. Rudin and M. Wage....

A remark on supra-additive and supra-multiplicative operators on C ( X )

Zafer Ercan (2007)

Mathematica Bohemica

M. Radulescu proved the following result: Let X be a compact Hausdorff topological space and π C ( X ) C ( X ) a supra-additive and supra-multiplicative operator. Then π is linear and multiplicative. We generalize this result to arbitrary topological spaces.

Algebras and spaces of dense constancies

Angelo Bella, Jorge Martinez, Scott D. Woodward (2001)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

A DC-space (or space of dense constancies) is a Tychonoff space X such that for each f C ( X ) there is a family of open sets { U i i I } , the union of which is dense in X , such that f , restricted to each U i , is constant. A number of characterizations of DC-spaces are given, which lead to an algebraic generalization of the concept, which, in turn, permits analysis of DC-spaces in the language of archimedean f -algebras. One is led naturally to the notion of an almost DC-space (in which the densely constant functions...
