It is shown that for every integer n the (2n+1)th power of any locally path-connected metrizable space of the first Baire category is 𝓐₁[n]-universal, i.e., contains a closed topological copy of each at most n-dimensional metrizable σ-compact space. Also a one-dimensional σ-compact absolute retract X is found such that the power X^{n+1} is 𝓐₁[n]-universal for every n.
Eric van Douwen produced in 1993 a maximal crowded extremally disconnected regular space and showed that its Stone-Čech compactification is an at most two-to-one image of . We prove that there are non-homeomorphic such images. We also develop some related properties of spaces which are absolute retracts of expanding on earlier work of Balcar and Błaszczyk (1990) and Simon (1987).
In this paper we introduce two classes of functions called weakly preopen and weakly preclosed functions as generalization of weak openness and weak closedness due to [26] and [27] respectively. We obtain their characterizations, their basic properties and their relationshisps with other types of functions between topological spaces.
A function f: X → Y between topological spaces is said to be a weakly Gibson function if for any open connected set U ⊆ X. We prove that if X is a locally connected hereditarily Baire space and Y is a T₁-space then an -measurable mapping f: X → Y is weakly Gibson if and only if for any connected set C ⊆ X with dense connected interior the image f(C) is connected. Moreover, we show that each weakly Gibson -measurable mapping f: ℝⁿ → Y, where Y is a T₁-space, has a connected graph.
In this paper, we give some characterizations of metric spaces under weak-open -mappings, which prove that a space is -developable (or Cauchy) if and only if it is a weak-open -image of a metric space.
An ideal I in a commutative ring R is called a z°-ideal if I consists of zero divisors and for each a ∈ I the intersection of all minimal prime ideals containing a is contained in I. We characterize topological spaces X for which z-ideals and z°-ideals coincide in , or equivalently, the sum of any two ideals consisting entirely of zero divisors consists entirely of zero divisors. Basically disconnected spaces, extremally disconnected and P-spaces are characterized in terms of z°-ideals. Finally,...
Classes of functions continuous in various senses, in particular -continuous, -continuous, feeblz continuous a.o., and relations between the classes, are studied.
We introduce and study -embedded sets and apply them to generalize the Kuratowski Extension Theorem.
