On universal composition of maps.

Zvonko Cerin (1991)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

In this paper we shall introduce notions of F-universality and F-e-universality for maps between compact Hausdorff spaces and explore the behaviour of these properties under the operation of composition of maps. We consider both the quest for conditions on maps f and g which would imply that their composition g o f is either F-universal or F-e-universal and the quest for consequences on f and g when the composition g o f is either F-universal or F-e-universal. In our approach F is an arbitrary class...

On universality of countable and weak products of sigma hereditarily disconnected spaces

Taras Banakh, Robert Cauty (2001)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Suppose a metrizable separable space Y is sigma hereditarily disconnected, i.e., it is a countable union of hereditarily disconnected subspaces. We prove that the countable power X ω of any subspace X ⊂ Y is not universal for the class ₂ of absolute G δ σ -sets; moreover, if Y is an absolute F σ δ -set, then X ω contains no closed topological copy of the Nagata space = W(I,ℙ); if Y is an absolute G δ -set, then X ω contains no closed copy of the Smirnov space σ = W(I,0). On the other hand, the countable power X ω of...

On universality of finite powers of locally path-connected meager spaces

Taras Banakh, Robert Cauty (2005)

Colloquium Mathematicae

It is shown that for every integer n the (2n+1)th power of any locally path-connected metrizable space of the first Baire category is 𝓐₁[n]-universal, i.e., contains a closed topological copy of each at most n-dimensional metrizable σ-compact space. Also a one-dimensional σ-compact absolute retract X is found such that the power X^{n+1} is 𝓐₁[n]-universal for every n.

On van Douwen spaces and retracts of β

Alan S. Dow (2007)

Mathematica Bohemica

Eric van Douwen produced in 1993 a maximal crowded extremally disconnected regular space and showed that its Stone-Čech compactification is an at most two-to-one image of β . We prove that there are non-homeomorphic such images. We also develop some related properties of spaces which are absolute retracts of β expanding on earlier work of Balcar and Błaszczyk (1990) and Simon (1987).

On weak forms of preopen and preclosed functions

Miguel Caldas, Govindappa Navalagi (2004)

Archivum Mathematicum

In this paper we introduce two classes of functions called weakly preopen and weakly preclosed functions as generalization of weak openness and weak closedness due to [26] and [27] respectively. We obtain their characterizations, their basic properties and their relationshisps with other types of functions between topological spaces.

On weakly Gibson F σ -measurable mappings

Olena Karlova, Volodymyr Mykhaylyuk (2013)

Colloquium Mathematicae

A function f: X → Y between topological spaces is said to be a weakly Gibson function if f ( Ū ) f ( U ) ¯ for any open connected set U ⊆ X. We prove that if X is a locally connected hereditarily Baire space and Y is a T₁-space then an F σ -measurable mapping f: X → Y is weakly Gibson if and only if for any connected set C ⊆ X with dense connected interior the image f(C) is connected. Moreover, we show that each weakly Gibson F σ -measurable mapping f: ℝⁿ → Y, where Y is a T₁-space, has a connected graph.

On weak-open π -images of metric spaces

Zhaowen Li (2006)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

In this paper, we give some characterizations of metric spaces under weak-open π -mappings, which prove that a space is g -developable (or Cauchy) if and only if it is a weak-open π -image of a metric space.

On z◦ -ideals in C(X)

F. Azarpanah, O. Karamzadeh, A. Rezai Aliabad (1999)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

An ideal I in a commutative ring R is called a z°-ideal if I consists of zero divisors and for each a ∈ I the intersection of all minimal prime ideals containing a is contained in I. We characterize topological spaces X for which z-ideals and z°-ideals coincide in , or equivalently, the sum of any two ideals consisting entirely of zero divisors consists entirely of zero divisors. Basically disconnected spaces, extremally disconnected and P-spaces are characterized in terms of z°-ideals. Finally,...

On α -continuous functions

Dragan S. Janković, Ch. Konstadilaki-Savvopoulou (1992)

Mathematica Bohemica

Classes of functions continuous in various senses, in particular θ -continuous, α -continuous, feeblz continuous a.o., and relations between the classes, are studied.
