A note on the dimension Dind
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.
-normality and -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 -normal non-normal space and an example of a Hausdorff -normal non-regular space.
We introduce a new class of functions called almost -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 -closed continuous surjections.
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...
