A formal analogy between proximity and finite dimensionality
We construct two examples of infinite spaces X such that there is no continuous linear surjection from the space of continuous functions onto × ℝcp(X)cp(X). One of these examples is compact. This answers some questions of Arkhangel’skiĭ.
We develop a calculus for the oscillation index of Baire one functions using gauges analogous to the modulus of continuity.
A metric space is called a space provided each continuous function on into a metric target space is uniformly continuous. We introduce a class of metric spaces that play, relative to the boundedly compact metric spaces, the same role that spaces play relative to the compact metric spaces.
A new class of spaces which contains the class of all normal spaces is defined and its characterization and properties are discussed.
For X a Tikhonov space, let F(X) be the algebra of all real-valued continuous functions on X that assume only finitely many values outside some compact subset. We show that F(X) generates a compactification γX of X if and only if X has a base of open sets whose boundaries have compact neighborhoods, and we note that if this happens then γX is the Freudenthal compactification of X. For X Hausdorff and locally compact, we establish an isomorphism between the lattice of all subalgebras of and the...
