Let c be the Banach space consisting of all convergent sequences of reals with the sup-norm, $C_{\infty }(A,c)$ the set of all bounded continuous functions f: A → c, and $C_A(X,c)$ the set of all functions f: X → c which are continuous at each point of A ⊂ X. We show that a Tikhonov subspace A of a topological space X is strong Choquet in X if there exists a monotone extender $u:C_{\infty }(A,c)\to C_A(X,c)$. This shows that the monotone extension property for bounded c-valued functions can fail in GO-spaces, which provides a negative answer to a question...

Sufficient as well as necessary conditions are studied for a dendrite or a dendroid to be homogeneous with respect to monotone mappings. The obtained results extend ones due to H. Kato and the first named author. A number of open problems are asked.

We provide a characterisation of monotone normality with an analogue of the Tietze-Urysohn theorem for monotonically normal spaces as well as answer a question due to San-ou concerning the extension of Urysohn functions in monotonically normal spaces. We also extend a result of van Douwen, giving a characterisation of $K_0$-spaces in terms of semi-continuous functions, as well as answer another question of San-ou concerning semi-continuous Urysohn functions.

It is shown that for every two countable ordinals $\alpha$ and $\beta$ with $\alpha >\beta$ there exist $\lambda$-dendroids $X$ and $Y$ whose depths are $\alpha$ and $\beta$ respectively, and a monotone retraction from $X$ onto $Y$. Moreover, the continua $X$ and $Y$ can be either both arclike or both fans.

Let $\tau$ be an uncountable regular cardinal and $G$ a $T_1$ topological group. We prove the following statements: (1) If $\tau$ is homeomorphic to a closed subspace of $G$, $G$ is Abelian, and the order of every non-neutral element of $G$ is greater than $5$ then $\tau \times \tau$ embeds in $G$ as a closed subspace. (2) If $G$ is Abelian, algebraically generated by $\tau \subset G$, and the order of every element does not exceed $3$ then $\tau \times \tau$ is not embeddable in $G$. (3) There exists an Abelian topological group $H$ such that ${\omega }_1$ is homeomorphic to a closed subspace...

We show that there exists an Abelian topological group $G$ such that the operations in $G$ cannot be extended to the Dieudonné completion $\mu G$ of the space $G$ in such a way that $G$ becomes a topological subgroup of the topological group $\mu G$. This provides a complete answer to a question of V.G. Pestov and M.G. Tkačenko, dating back to 1985. We also identify new large classes of topological groups for which such an extension is possible. The technique developed also allows to find many new solutions to the...

We define a metric $d_S$, called the shape metric, on the hyperspace $2^X$ of all non-empty compact subsets of a metric space X. Using it we prove that a compactum X in the Hilbert cube is movable if and only if X is the limit of a sequence of polyhedra in the shape metric. This fact is applied to show that the hyperspace $(2^{ℝ}2$, dS)$isseparable.Ontheotherhand,wegiveanexampleshowingthat$2ℝ2$isnotseparableinthefundamentalmetricintroducedbyBorsuk.$

In this paper we introduce a class of maps possessing a multivalued homotopy lifting property with respect to every topological space. We call these maps multifibrations and they represent a formally stronger concept than that of shape fibration. Multifibrations have the interesting property of being characterized in a completely intrinsic way by a path lifting property involving only the total and the base space of the fibration. We also show that multifibrations (and also, with some restrictions,...

A brief account of the connections between Carathéodory multifunctions, Scorza-Dragoni multifunctions, product-measurable multifunctions, and superpositionally measurable multifunctions of two variables is given.
