Extension of point-finite partitions of unity

Haruto Ohta, Kaori Yamazaki (2006)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

A subspace A of a topological space X is said to be P γ -embedded ( P γ (point-finite)-embedded) in X if every (point-finite) partition of unity α on A with |α| ≤ γ extends to a (point-finite) partition of unity on X. The main results are: (Theorem A) A subspace A of X is P γ (point-finite)-embedded in X iff it is P γ -embedded and every countable intersection B of cozero-sets in X with B ∩ A = ∅ can be separated from A by a cozero-set in X. (Theorem B) The product A × [0,1] is P γ (point-finite)-embedded in X...

Fibrations in the Category of Absolute Neighborhood Retracts

Takahisa Miyata (2007)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

The category Top of topological spaces and continuous maps has the structures of a fibration category and a cofibration category in the sense of Baues, where fibration = Hurewicz fibration, cofibration = the usual cofibration, and weak equivalence = homotopy equivalence. Concentrating on fibrations, we consider the problem: given a full subcategory 𝓒 of Top, is the fibration structure of Top restricted to 𝓒 a fibration category? In this paper we take the special case where 𝓒 is the full subcategory...

Free spaces

Jian Song, E. Tymchatyn (2000)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

A space Y is called a free space if for each compactum X the set of maps with hereditarily indecomposable fibers is a dense G δ -subset of C(X,Y), the space of all continuous functions of X to Y. Levin proved that the interval I and the real line ℝ are free. Krasinkiewicz independently proved that each n-dimensional manifold M (n ≥ 1) is free and the product of any space with a free space is free. He also raised a number of questions about the extent of the class of free spaces. In this paper we will...
