Hyper-extensions of -algebras
In the first part of the paper behavior of conditions related to local connectivity at a point is discussed if the space is transformed under a mapping that is interior or open at the considered point of the domain. The second part of the paper deals with metric locally connected continua. They are characterized as continua for which the hyperspace of their nonempty closed subjects is homogeneous with respect to open mappings. A similar characterization for the hyperspace of subcontinua remains...
We prove that a cosmic space (= a Tychonoff space with a countable network) is analytic if it is an image of a -analytic space under a measurable mapping. We also obtain characterizations of analyticity and -compactness in cosmic spaces in terms of metrizable continuous images. As an application, we show that if is a separable metrizable space and is its dense subspace then the space of restricted continuous functions is analytic iff it is a -space iff is -compact.
