Topological games and products I
If is a family of filters over some set I, a topological space X is sequencewise -compact if for every I-indexed sequence of elements of X there is such that the sequence has an F-limit point. Countable compactness, sequential compactness, initial κ-compactness, [λ; µ]-compactness, the Menger and Rothberger properties can all be expressed in terms of sequencewise -compactness for appropriate choices of . We show that sequencewise -compactness is preserved under taking products if and only if there...
Topologically maximal pretopologies, paratopologies and pseudotopologies are characterized in terms of various accessibility properties. Thanks to recent convergence-theoretic descriptions of miscellaneous quotient maps (in terms of topological, pretopological, paratopological and pseudotopological projections), the quotient characterizations of accessibility (in particular, those of G. T. Whyburn and F. Siwiec) are shown to be instances of a single general theorem. Convergence-theoretic characterizations...
A topological space is said to be generated by an ideal if for all and all there is in such that , and is said to be weakly generated by if whenever a subset of contains for every with , then itself is closed. An important class of examples are the so called weakly discretely generated spaces (which include sequential, scattered and compact Hausdorff spaces). Another paradigmatic example is the class of Alexandroff spaces which corresponds to spaces generated by finite sets....
