Generalizations of Ascoli's theorems
Given an ordered metric space (in particular, a Banach lattice) E, the generalized Helly space H(E) is the set of all increasing functions from the interval [0,1] to E considered with the topology of pointwise convergence, and E is said to have property (λ) if each of these functions has only countably many points of discontinuity. The main objective of the paper is to study those ordered metric spaces C(K,E), where K is a compact space, that have property (λ). In doing so, the guiding idea comes...
We construct a precompact completely regular paratopological Abelian group G of size (2ω)+ such that all subsets of G of cardinality ≤ 2ω are closed. This shows that Protasov’s theorem on non-closed discrete subsets of precompact topological groups cannot be extended to paratopological groups. We also prove that the group reflection of the product of an arbitrary family of paratopological (even semitopological) groups is topologically isomorphic to the product of the group reflections of the factors,...
