Rétractes Absolus de Voisinage Algébriques

Cauty, Robert (2005)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 54C55, 54H25, 55M20.We introduce the class of algebraic ANRs. It is defined by replacing continuous maps by chain mappings in Lefschetz’s characterization of ANRs. To a large extent, the theory of algebraic ANRs parallels the classical theory of ANRs. Every ANR is an algebraic ANR, but the class of algebraic ANRs is much larger; the most striking difference between these classes is that every locally equiconnected metrisable space is an algebraic ANR, whereas...

Retral spaces and continua with the fixed point property

Jan van Mill, G. J. Ridderbos (2006)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We show that every retral continuum with the fixed point property is locally connected. It follows that an indecomposable continuum with the fixed point property is not a retract of a topological group.

Rigid extensions of -groups of continuous functions

Michelle L. Knox, Warren Wm. McGovern (2008)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Let C ( X , ) , C ( X , ) and C ( X ) denote the -groups of integer-valued, rational-valued and real-valued continuous functions on a topological space X , respectively. Characterizations are given for the extensions C ( X , ) C ( X , ) C ( X ) to be rigid, major, and dense.

Rings of continuous functions vanishing at infinity

Ali Rezaei Aliabad, F. Azarpanah, M. Namdari (2004)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We prove that a Hausdorff space X is locally compact if and only if its topology coincides with the weak topology induced by C ( X ) . It is shown that for a Hausdorff space X , there exists a locally compact Hausdorff space Y such that C ( X ) C ( Y ) . It is also shown that for locally compact spaces X and Y , C ( X ) C ( Y ) if and only if X Y . Prime ideals in C ( X ) are uniquely represented by a class of prime ideals in C * ( X ) . -compact spaces are introduced and it turns out that a locally compact space X is -compact if and only if every...
