In this paper we introduce perfectly supportable semigroups and prove that they are σ-discrete in each Hausdorff shiftinvariant topology. The class of perfectly supportable semigroups includes each semigroup S such that FSym(X) ⊂ S ⊂ FRel(X) where FRel(X) is the semigroup of finitely supported relations on an infinite set X and FSym(X) is the group of finitely supported permutations of X.
We provide a necessary and sufficient condition for the Higson compactification to be perfect for the noncompact, locally connected, proper metric spaces. We also discuss perfectness of the Smirnov compactification.
It is a classical result of Shapirovsky that any compact space of countable tightness has a point-countable π-base. We look at general spaces with point-countable π-bases and prove, in particular, that, under the Continuum Hypothesis, any Lindelöf first countable space has a point-countable π-base. We also analyze when the function space has a point-countable π -base, giving a criterion for this in terms of the topology of X when l*(X) = ω. Dealing with point-countable π-bases makes it possible...
The aim of the paper is to study the preservation and the reflection of acc and hacc spaces under various kinds of mappings. In particular, we show that acc and hacc are not preserved by perfect mappings and that acc is not reflected by closed (nor perfect) mappings while hacc is reflected by perfect mappings.
