A characterization of realcompactness in terms of the topology of pointwise convergence on the function space
We prove a dichotomy theorem for remainders in compactifications of homogeneous spaces: given a homogeneous space , every remainder of is either realcompact and meager or Baire. In addition we show that two other recent dichotomy theorems for remainders of topological groups due to Arhangel’skii cannot be extended to homogeneous spaces.
We provide a new generalization of realcompactness based on ultrafilters of cozero sets and contrast it with almost realcompactness.
Relations between homomorphisms on a real function algebra and different properties (such as being inverse-closed and closed under bounded inversion) are studied.
Realcompact spaces can be characterized as limits of approximate inverse systems of Polish polyhedra.
By studying algebra homomorphisms, which act as point evaluations on each countable subset, we obtain improved results on the question when all algebra homomorphisms are point evaluations.
