Unification of Some Concepts Similar to the Lindelöf Property
Thirteen properties of uniform spaces are shown to be equivalent. The most important properties seem to be those related to modules of uniformly continuous mappings into normed spaces, and to partitions of unity.
For suitable topological spaces X and Y, given a continuous function f:X → Y and a point x ∈ X, one can determine the value of f(x) from the values of f on a deleted neighborhood of x by taking the limit of f. If f is not required to be continuous, it is impossible to determine f(x) from this information (provided |Y| ≥ 2), but as the author and Alan Taylor showed in 2009, there is nevertheless a means of guessing f(x), called the μ-predictor, that will be correct except on a small set; specifically,...
We prove that the dual unit ball of a Banach space X is a Corson compactum provided that the dual unit ball with respect to every equivalent norm on X is a Valdivia compactum. As a corollary we show that the dual unit ball of a Banach space X of density is Corson if (and only if) X has a projectional resolution of the identity with respect to every equivalent norm. These results answer questions asked by M. Fabian, G. Godefroy and V. Zizler and yield a converse to Amir-Lindenstrauss’ theorem.
Various characterizations of realcompactness are transferred to uniform spaces giving non-equivalent concepts. Their properties, relations and characterizations are described in this paper. A Shirota-like characterization of certain uniform realcompactness proved by Garrido and Meroño for metrizable spaces is generalized to uniform spaces. The paper may be considered as a unifying survey of known results with some new results added.
