Rare -continuity.
Let S(X) denote the set of all closed subsets of a topological space X, and C(X) the set of all continuous mappings f:X → X. A family 𝓐 ⊆ S(X) is called reflexive if there exists ℱ ⊆ C(X) such that 𝓐 = {A ∈ S(X): f(A) ⊆ A for every f ∈ ℱ}. We investigate conditions ensuring that a family of closed subsets is reflexive.
As per the title, the nature of sets that can be removed from a product of more than one connected, arcwise connected, or point arcwise connected spaces while preserving the appropriate kind of connectedness is studied. This can depend on the cardinality of the set being removed or sometimes just on the cardinality of what is removed from one or two factor spaces. Sometimes it can depend on topological properties of the set being removed or its trace on various factor spaces. Some of the results...
