Quantification of topological concepts using ideals.
We lift the notion of quasicontinuous posets to the topology context, called quasicontinuous spaces, and further study such spaces. The main results are: (1) A space is a quasicontinuous space if and only if is locally hypercompact if and only if is a hypercontinuous lattice; (2) a space is an -continuous space if and only if is a meet continuous and quasicontinuous space; (3) if a -space is a well-filtered poset under its specialization order, then is a quasicontinuous space...
Let G ⊂ Homeo(E) be a group of homeomorphisms of a topological space E. The class of an orbit O of G is the union of all orbits having the same closure as O. Let E/G̃ be the space of classes of orbits, called the quasi-orbit space. We show that every second countable T₀-space Y is a quasi-orbit space E/G̃, where E is a second countable metric space. The regular part X₀ of a T₀-space X is the union of open subsets homeomorphic to ℝ or to 𝕊¹. We give a characterization of the spaces X with finite...
Assuming ⋄, we construct a connected compact topological space K such that for every closed L ⊂ K the Banach space C(L) has few operators, in the sense that every operator on C(L) is multiplication by a continuous function plus a weakly compact operator. In particular, C(K) is indecomposable and has continuum many non-isomorphic indecomposable quotients, and K does not contain a homeomorphic copy of βℕ. Moreover, assuming CH we construct a connected compact K where C(K) has few...
