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.
