Spaces Y Homeomorphic to ßY Y.
Remote points constructed so far are actually strong remote. But we construct remote points of another type.
It is established that a remainder of a non-locally compact topological group has the Baire property if and only if the space is not Čech-complete. We also show that if is a non-locally compact topological group of countable tightness, then either is submetrizable, or is the Čech-Stone remainder of an arbitrary remainder of . It follows that if and are non-submetrizable topological groups of countable tightness such that some remainders of and are homeomorphic, then the spaces...
Answering a question of Isbell we show that there exists a rim-compact space X such that every compactification Y of X has dim(Y)≥ 1.
It is shown that associated with each metric space (X,d) there is a compactification of X that can be characterized as the smallest compactification of X to which each bounded uniformly continuous real-valued continuous function with domain X can be extended. Other characterizations of are presented, and a detailed study of the structure of is undertaken. This culminates in a topological characterization of the outgrowth , where is Euclidean n-space with its usual metric.
Let be the subspace of consisting of all weak -points. It is not hard to see that is a pseudocompact space. In this paper we shall prove that this space has stronger pseudocompact properties. Indeed, it is shown that is a -pseudocompact space for all .
We prove a Dichotomy Theorem: for each Hausdorff compactification of an arbitrary topological group , the remainder is either pseudocompact or Lindelöf. It follows that if a remainder of a topological group is paracompact or Dieudonne complete, then the remainder is Lindelöf, and the group is a paracompact -space. This answers a question in A.V. Arhangel’skii, Some connections between properties of topological groups and of their remainders, Moscow Univ. Math. Bull. 54:3 (1999), 1–6. It is...
If is a space, then the weak extent of is the cardinal If is an open cover of , then there exists such that and . In this note, we show that if is a normal space such that and , then does not have a closed discrete subset of cardinality . We show that this result cannot be strengthened in ZFC to get that the extent of is smaller than , even if the condition that is replaced by the stronger condition that is separable.
