A strengthening of the Katětov-Tong insertion theorem

Tomasz Kubiak (1993)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Normal spaces are characterized in terms of an insertion type theorem, which implies the Katětov-Tong theorem. The proof actually provides a simple necessary and sufficient condition for the insertion of an ordered pair of lower and upper semicontinuous functions between two comparable real-valued functions. As a consequence of the latter, we obtain a characterization of completely normal spaces by real-valued functions.

A β -normal Tychonoff space which is not normal

Eva Murtinová (2002)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

α -normality and β -normality are properties generalizing normality of topological spaces. They consist in separating dense subsets of closed disjoint sets. We construct an example of a Tychonoff β -normal non-normal space and an example of a Hausdorff α -normal non-regular space.

Almost g ˜ α -closed functions and separation axioms

O. Ravi, S. Ganesan, R. Latha (2012)

Mathematica Bohemica

We introduce a new class of functions called almost g ˜ α -closed and use the functions to improve several preservation theorems of normality and regularity and also their generalizations. The main result of the paper is that normality and weak normality are preserved under almost g ˜ α -closed continuous surjections.

Applications of some strong set-theoretic axioms to locally compact T₅ and hereditarily scwH spaces

Peter J. Nyikos (2003)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Under some very strong set-theoretic hypotheses, hereditarily normal spaces (also referred to as T₅ spaces) that are locally compact and hereditarily collectionwise Hausdorff can have a highly simplified structure. This paper gives a structure theorem (Theorem 1) that applies to all such ω₁-compact spaces and another (Theorem 4) to all such spaces of Lindelöf number ≤ ℵ₁. It also introduces an axiom (Axiom F) on crowding of functions, with consequences (Theorem 3) for the crowding of countably compact...

Borel extensions of Baire measures in ZFC

Menachem Kojman, Henryk Michalewski (2011)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We prove: 1) Every Baire measure on the Kojman-Shelah Dowker space admits a Borel extension. 2) If the continuum is not real-valued-measurable then every Baire measure on M. E. Rudin's Dowker space admits a Borel extension. Consequently, Balogh's space remains the only candidate to be a ZFC counterexample to the measure extension problem of the three presently known ZFC Dowker spaces.
