Following Banakh and Gabriyelyan (2016) we say that a Tychonoff space X is an Ascoli space if every compact subset of $C_k\left(X\right)$ is evenly continuous; this notion is closely related to the classical Ascoli theorem. Every $k_{ℝ}$-space, hence any k-space, is Ascoli. Let X be a metrizable space. We prove that the space $C_k\left(X\right)$ is Ascoli iff $C_k\left(X\right)$ is a $k_{ℝ}$-space iff X is locally compact. Moreover, $C_k\left(X\right)$ endowed with the weak topology is Ascoli iff X is countable and discrete. Using some basic concepts from probability theory and...

We prove a commutative Gelfand-Naimark type theorem, by showing that the set $C_s\left(X\right)$ of continuous bounded (real or complex valued) functions with separable support on a locally separable metrizable space X (provided with the supremum norm) is a Banach algebra, isometrically isomorphic to C₀(Y) for some unique (up to homeomorphism) locally compact Hausdorff space Y. The space Y, which we explicitly construct as a subspace of the Stone-Čech compactification of X, is countably compact, and if X is non-separable,...

The compact Hausdorff space X has the CSWP iff every subalgebra of C(X,ℂ) which separates points and contains the constant functions is dense in C(X,ℂ). Results of W. Rudin (1956) and Hoffman and Singer (1960) show that all scattered X have the CSWP and many non-scattered X fail the CSWP, but it was left open whether having the CSWP is just equivalent to being scattered. Here, we prove some general facts about the CSWP; in particular we show that if X is a compact ordered space,...

Let X, Y be two Banach spaces. We say that Y is a quasi-quotient of X if there is a continuous operator R: X → Y such that its range, R(X), is dense in Y. Let X be a nonseparable Banach space, and let U, W be closed subspaces of X and Y, respectively. We prove that if X has the Controlled Separable Projection Property (CSPP) (this is a weaker notion than the WCG property) and Y is a quasi-quotient of X, then the structure of Y resembles the structure of a separable Banach space: (a) Y/W is norm-separable...

A convergence structure generalizing the order convergence structure on the set of Hausdorff continuous interval functions is defined on the set of minimal usco maps. The properties of the obtained convergence space are investigated and essential links with the pointwise convergence and the order convergence are revealed. The convergence structure can be extended to a uniform convergence structure so that the convergence space is complete. The important issue of the denseness of the subset of all...

We disprove the existence of a universal object in several classes of spaces including the class of weakly Lindelöf Banach spaces.

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 54C35, 54D20, 54C60.Two Tychonoff spaces X and Y are said to be l-equivalent (u-equivalent) if Cp(X) and Cp(Y) are linearly (uniformly) homeomorphic. N. V. Velichko proved that countable Lindelöf number is preserved by the relation of l-equivalence. A. Bouziad strengthened this result and proved that any Lindelöf number is preserved by the relation of l-equivalence. In this paper it has been proved that the Lindelöf number greater than continuum is preserved...

We prove that if X is a strongly zero-dimensional space, then for every locally compact second-countable space M, C p(X, M) is a continuous image of a closed subspace of C p(X). It follows in particular, that for strongly zero-dimensional spaces X, the Lindelöf number of C p(X)×C p(X) coincides with the Lindelöf number of C p(X). We also prove that l(C p(X n)κ) ≤ l(C p(X)κ) whenever κ is an infinite cardinal and X is a strongly zero-dimensional union of at most κcompact subspaces.

In the previous paper, we, together with J. Orihuela, showed that a compact subset X of the product space ${[-1,1]}^D$ is fragmented by the uniform metric if and only if X is Lindelöf with respect to the topology γ(D) of uniform convergence on countable subsets of D. In the present paper we generalize the previous result to the case where X is K-analytic. Stated more precisely, a K-analytic subspace X of ${[-1,1]}^D$ is σ-fragmented by the uniform metric if and only if (X,γ(D)) is Lindelöf, and if this is the case then...

A topological space (T,τ) is said to be fragmented by a metric d on T if each non-empty subset of T has non-empty relatively open subsets of arbitrarily small d-diameter. The basic theorem of the present paper is the following. Let (M,ϱ) be a metric space with ϱ bounded and let D be an arbitrary index set. Then for a compact subset K of the product space $M^D$ the following four conditions are equivalent: (i) K is fragmented by $d_D$, where, for each S ⊂ D, $d_S(x,y)=sup\varrho \left(x\right(t),y(t\left)\right):t\in S$. (ii) For each countable subset A of D, $(K,d_A)$ is...

We prove that the one-point Lindelöfication of a discrete space of cardinality ω 1 is homeomorphic to a subspace of C p (X) for some hereditarily Lindelöf space X if the axiom [...] holds.
