Maps and inverse systems of metric spaces
It is shown that Čech completeness, ultracompleteness and local compactness can be defined by demanding that certain equivalences hold between certain classes of Baire measures or by demanding that certain classes of Baire measures have non-empty support. This shows that these three topological properties are measurable, similarly to the classical examples of compact spaces, pseudo-compact spaces and realcompact spaces.
A locallic version of Hager’s metric-fine spaces is presented. A general definition of -fineness is given and various special cases are considered, notably all metric frames, complete metric frames. Their interactions with each other, quotients, separability, completion and other topological properties are discussed.
We show that there exists an Abelian topological group such that the operations in cannot be extended to the Dieudonné completion of the space in such a way that becomes a topological subgroup of the topological group . This provides a complete answer to a question of V.G. Pestov and M.G. Tkačenko, dating back to 1985. We also identify new large classes of topological groups for which such an extension is possible. The technique developed also allows to find many new solutions to the...
