Maximal ideals in the Lie algebra of vector fields
A point x is a (bow) tie-point of a space X if X∖x can be partitioned into (relatively) clopen sets each with x in its closure. We denote this as where A, B are the closed sets which have a unique common accumulation point x. Tie-points have appeared in the construction of non-trivial autohomeomorphisms of βℕ = ℕ* (by Veličković and Shelah Steprans) and in the recent study (by Levy and Dow Techanie) of precisely 2-to-1 maps on ℕ*. In these cases the tie-points have been the unique fixed point...
We study closed subspaces of -Ohio complete spaces and, for uncountable cardinal, we prove a characterization for them. We then investigate the behaviour of products of -Ohio complete spaces. We prove that, if the cardinal is endowed with either the order or the discrete topology, the space is not -Ohio complete. As a consequence, we show that, if is less than the first weakly inaccessible cardinal, then neither the space , nor the space is -Ohio complete.
