Extending real-valued functions in βκ

Alan Dow (1997)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

An Open Coloring Axiom type principle is formulated for uncountable cardinals and is shown to be a consequence of the Proper Forcing Axiom. Several applications are found. We also study dense C*-embedded subspaces of ω*, showing that there can be such sets of cardinality c and that it is consistent that ω*{pis C*-embedded for some but not all p ∈ ω*.

Extension of functions with small oscillation

Denny H. Leung, Wee-Kee Tang (2006)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

A classical theorem of Kuratowski says that every Baire one function on a G δ subspace of a Polish (= separable completely metrizable) space X can be extended to a Baire one function on X. Kechris and Louveau introduced a finer gradation of Baire one functions into small Baire classes. A Baire one function f is assigned into a class in this hierarchy depending on its oscillation index β(f). We prove a refinement of Kuratowski’s theorem: if Y is a subspace of a metric space X and f is a real-valued...

Extension of Lipschitz functions defined on metric subspaces of homogeneous type.

Alexander Brudnyi, Yuri Brudnyi (2006)

Revista Matemática Complutense

If a metric subspace Mº of an arbitrary metric space M carries a doubling measure μ, then there is a simultaneous linear extension of all Lipschitz functions on Mº ranged in a Banach space to those on M. Moreover, the norm of this linear operator is controlled by logarithm of the doubling constant of μ.

Extension of measures: a categorical approach

Roman Frič (2005)

Mathematica Bohemica

We present a categorical approach to the extension of probabilities, i.e. normed σ -additive measures. J. Novák showed that each bounded σ -additive measure on a ring of sets 𝔸 is sequentially continuous and pointed out the topological aspects of the extension of such measures on 𝔸 over the generated σ -ring σ ( 𝔸 ) : it is of a similar nature as the extension of bounded continuous functions on a completely regular topological space X over its Čech-Stone compactification β X (or as the extension of continuous...

Extension of point-finite partitions of unity

Haruto Ohta, Kaori Yamazaki (2006)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

A subspace A of a topological space X is said to be P γ -embedded ( P γ (point-finite)-embedded) in X if every (point-finite) partition of unity α on A with |α| ≤ γ extends to a (point-finite) partition of unity on X. The main results are: (Theorem A) A subspace A of X is P γ (point-finite)-embedded in X iff it is P γ -embedded and every countable intersection B of cozero-sets in X with B ∩ A = ∅ can be separated from A by a cozero-set in X. (Theorem B) The product A × [0,1] is P γ (point-finite)-embedded in X...

Extension operators on balls and on spaces of finite sets

Antonio Avilés, Witold Marciszewski (2015)

Studia Mathematica

We study extension operators between spaces of continuous functions on the spaces σ ( 2 X ) of subsets of X of cardinality at most n. As an application, we show that if B H is the unit ball of a nonseparable Hilbert space H equipped with the weak topology, then, for any 0 < λ < μ, there is no extension operator T : C ( λ B H ) C ( μ B H ) .

Extension properties of Stone-Čech coronas and proper absolute extensors

A. Chigogidze (2013)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We characterize, in terms of X, the extensional dimension of the Stone-Čech corona βX∖X of a locally compact and Lindelöf space X. The non-Lindelöf case is also settled in terms of extending proper maps with values in I τ L , where L is a finite complex. Further, for a finite complex L, an uncountable cardinal τ and a Z τ -set X in the Tikhonov cube I τ we find a necessary and sufficient condition, in terms of I τ X , for X to be in the class AE([L]). We also introduce a concept of a proper absolute extensor and...

Extension theory of infinite symmetric products

Jerzy Dydak (2004)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We present an approach to cohomological dimension theory based on infinite symmetric products and on the general theory of dimension called the extension dimension. The notion of the extension dimension ext-dim(X) was introduced by A. N. Dranishnikov [9] in the context of compact spaces and CW complexes. This paper investigates extension types of infinite symmetric products SP(L). One of the main ideas of the paper is to treat ext-dim(X) ≤ SP(L) as the fundamental concept of cohomological dimension...
