La genèse du théorème de recouvrement de Borel

Bernard Maurey, Jean-Pierre Tacchi (2005)

Revue d'histoire des mathématiques

Nous nous proposons de rendre à Émile Borel le mérite d’avoir considéré le premier un recouvrement d’un segment de droite par une suite infinie d’intervalles et prouvé que l’on peut en extraire un sous-recouvrement fini. L’appellation de théorème de Heine-Borel souvent donnée à ce résultat, en référence à un article de Heine de 1872, conduit à sous-estimer les différences avec le théorème sur la continuité uniforme (dont une première version peut être attribuée à Dirichlet, en 1854) ; cette dénomination...

Locally constant functions

Joan Hart, Kenneth Kunen (1996)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Let X be a compact Hausdorff space and M a metric space. E 0 ( X , M ) is the set of f ∈ C(X,M) such that there is a dense set of points x ∈ X with f constant on some neighborhood of x. We describe some general classes of X for which E 0 ( X , M ) is all of C(X,M). These include βℕ, any nowhere separable LOTS, and any X such that forcing with the open subsets of X does not add reals. In the case where M is a Banach space, we discuss the properties of E 0 ( X , M ) as a normed linear space. We also build three first countable Eberlein...

Maximal nowhere dense P -sets in basically disconnected spaces and F -spaces

Andrey V. Koldunov, Aleksandr I. Veksler (2001)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

In [5] the following question was put: are there any maximal n.d. sets in ω * ? Already in [9] the negative answer (under MA) to this question was obtained. Moreover, in [9] it was shown that no P -set can be maximal n.d. In the present paper the notion of a maximal n.d. P -set is introduced and it is proved that under CH there is no such a set in ω * . The main results are Theorem 1.10 and especially Theorem 2.7(ii) (with Example in Section 3) in which the problem of the existence of maximal n.d. P -sets...

Means on scattered compacta

T. Banakh, R. Bonnet, W. Kubis (2014)

Topological Algebra and its Applications

We prove that a separable Hausdor_ topological space X containing a cocountable subset homeomorphic to [0, ω1] admits no separately continuous mean operation and no diagonally continuous n-mean for n ≥ 2.

Measures on Corson compact spaces

Kenneth Kunen, Jan van Mill (1995)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We prove that the statement: "there is a Corson compact space with a non-separable Radon measure" is equivalent to a number of natural statements in set theory.

Metrization criteria for compact groups in terms of their dense subgroups

Dikran Dikranjan, Dmitri Shakhmatov (2013)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

According to Comfort, Raczkowski and Trigos-Arrieta, a dense subgroup D of a compact abelian group G determines G if the restriction homomorphism Ĝ → D̂ of the dual groups is a topological isomorphism. We introduce four conditions on D that are necessary for it to determine G and we resolve the following question: If one of these conditions holds for every dense (or G δ -dense) subgroup D of G, must G be metrizable? In particular, we prove (in ZFC) that a compact abelian group determined by all its...

Minimal K C -spaces are countably compact

Theodoros Vidalis (2004)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

In this paper we show that a minimal space in which compact subsets are closed is countably compact. This answers a question posed in [1].

Monomorphisms in spaces with Lindelöf filters

Richard N. Ball, Anthony W. Hager (2007)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

𝐒𝐩𝐅𝐢 is the category of spaces with filters: an object is a pair ( X , ) , X a compact Hausdorff space and a filter of dense open subsets of X . A morphism f ( Y , 𝒢 ) ( X , ) is a continuous function f Y X for which f - 1 ( F ) 𝒢 whenever F . This category arises naturally from considerations in ordered algebra, e.g., Boolean algebra, lattice-ordered groups and rings, and from considerations in general topology, e.g., the theory of the absolute and other covers, locales, and frames, though we shall specifically address only one of these...

Monotone meta-Lindelöf spaces

Yin-Zhu Gao, Wei-Xue Shi (2009)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

In this paper, we study the monotone meta-Lindelöf property. Relationships between monotone meta-Lindelöf spaces and other spaces are investigated. Behaviors of monotone meta-Lindelöf G O -spaces in their linearly ordered extensions are revealed.

More reflections on compactness

Lúcia R. Junqueira, Franklin D. Tall (2003)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We consider the question of when X M = X , where X M is the elementary submodel topology on X ∩ M, especially in the case when X M is compact.

Noncommutative Valdivia compacta

Marek Cúth (2014)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We prove some generalizations of results concerning Valdivia compact spaces (equivalently spaces with a commutative retractional skeleton) to the spaces with a retractional skeleton (not necessarily commutative). Namely, we show that the dual unit ball of a Banach space is Corson provided the dual unit ball of every equivalent norm has a retractional skeleton. Another result to be mentioned is the following. Having a compact space K , we show that K is Corson if and only if every continuous image...
