A construction of noncontractible simply connected cell-like two-dimensional Peano continua

Katsuya Eda, Umed H. Karimov, Dušan Repovš (2007)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Using the topologist sine curve we present a new functorial construction of cone-like spaces, starting in the category of all path-connected topological spaces with a base point and continuous maps, and ending in the subcategory of all simply connected spaces. If one starts from a noncontractible n-dimensional Peano continuum for any n > 0, then our construction yields a simply connected noncontractible (n + 1)-dimensional cell-like Peano continuum. In particular, starting from the circle 𝕊¹,...

A continuous operator extending fuzzy ultrametrics

I. Stasyuk, Edward D. Tymchatyn (2011)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We consider the problem of simultaneous extension of fuzzy ultrametrics defined on closed subsets of a complete fuzzy ultrametric space. We construct an extension operator that preserves the operation of pointwise minimum of fuzzy ultrametrics with common domain and an operation which is an analogue of multiplication by a constant defined for fuzzy ultrametrics. We prove that the restriction of the extension operator onto the set of continuous, partial fuzzy ultrametrics is continuous with respect...

A continuous operator extending ultrametrics

I. Stasyuk, Edward D. Tymchatyn (2009)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

The problem of continuous simultaneous extension of all continuous partial ultrametrics defined on closed subsets of a compact zero-dimensional metric space was recently solved by E.D. Tymchatyn and M. Zarichnyi and improvements to their result were made by I. Stasyuk. In the current paper we extend these results to complete, bounded, zero-dimensional metric spaces and to both continuous and uniformly continuous partial ultrametrics.

A contribution to the topological classification of the spaces Ср(X)

Robert Cauty, Tadeusz Dobrowolski, Witold Marciszewski (1993)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We prove that for each countably infinite, regular space X such that C p ( X ) is a Z σ -space, the topology of C p ( X ) is determined by the class F 0 ( C p ( X ) ) of spaces embeddable onto closed subsets of C p ( X ) . We show that C p ( X ) , whenever Borel, is of an exact multiplicative class; it is homeomorphic to the absorbing set Ω α for the multiplicative Borel class M α if F 0 ( C p ( X ) ) = M α . For each ordinal α ≥ 2, we provide an example X α such that C p ( X α ) is homeomorphic to Ω α .

A converse of the Arsenin–Kunugui theorem on Borel sets with σ-compact sections

P. Holický, Miroslav Zelený (2000)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Let f be a Borel measurable mapping of a Luzin (i.e. absolute Borel metric) space L onto a metric space M such that f(F) is a Borel subset of M if F is closed in L. We show that then f - 1 ( y ) is a K σ set for all except countably many y ∈ M, that M is also Luzin, and that the Borel classes of the sets f(F), F closed in L, are bounded by a fixed countable ordinal. This gives a converse of the classical theorem of Arsenin and Kunugui. As a particular case we get Taĭmanov’s theorem saying that the image of...

A dimension raising hereditary shape equivalence

Jan Dijkstra (1996)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We construct a hereditary shape equivalence that raises transfinite inductive dimension from ω to ω+1. This shows that ind and Ind do not admit a geometric characterisation in the spirit of Alexandroff's Essential Mapping Theorem, answering a question asked by R. Pol.

A fixed point conjecture for Borsuk continuous set-valued mappings

Dariusz Miklaszewski (2002)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

The main result of this paper is that for n = 3,4,5 and k = n-2, every Borsuk continuous set-valued map of the closed ball in the n-dimensional Euclidean space with values which are one-point sets or sets homeomorphic to the k-sphere has a fixed point. Our approach fails for (k,n) = (1,4). A relevant counterexample (for the homological method, not for the fixed point conjecture) is indicated.
