Countable sums and products of Loeb and selective metric spaces

Horst Herrlich, Kyriakos Keremedis, Eleftherios Tachtsis (2005)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We investigate the role that weak forms of the axiom of choice play in countable Tychonoff products, as well as countable disjoint unions, of Loeb and selective metric spaces.

Diagonal conditions in ordered spaces

Harold Bennett, David Lutzer (1997)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

For a space X and a regular uncountable cardinal κ ≤ |X| we say that κ ∈ D(X) if for each T X 2 - Δ ( X ) with |T| = κ, there is an open neighborhood W of Δ(X) such that |T - W| = κ. If ω 1 D ( X ) then we say that X has a small diagonal, and if every regular uncountable κ ≤ |X| belongs to D(X) then we say that X has an H-diagonal. In this paper we investigate the interplay between D(X) and topological properties of X in the category of generalized ordered spaces. We obtain cardinal invariant theorems and metrization theorems...

Dimension-raising maps in a large scale

Takahisa Miyata, Žiga Virk (2013)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Hurewicz's dimension-raising theorem states that dim Y ≤ dim X + n for every n-to-1 map f: X → Y. In this paper we introduce a new notion of finite-to-one like map in a large scale setting. Using this notion we formulate a dimension-raising type theorem for asymptotic dimension and asymptotic Assouad-Nagata dimension. It is also well-known (Hurewicz's finite-to-one mapping theorem) that dim X ≤ n if and only if there exists an (n+1)-to-1 map from a 0-dimensional space onto X. We formulate a finite-to-one...

Disasters in metric topology without choice

Eleftherios Tachtsis (2002)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We show that it is consistent with ZF that there is a dense-in-itself compact metric space ( X , d ) which has the countable chain condition (ccc), but X is neither separable nor second countable. It is also shown that X has an open dense subspace which is not paracompact and that in ZF the Principle of Dependent Choice, DC, does not imply the disjoint union of metrizable spaces is normal.

Equivalent metrics and the spans of graphs

L. C. Hoehn, A. Karassev (2009)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We present a result which affords the existence of equivalent metrics on a space having distances between certain pairs of points predetermined, with some restrictions. This result is then applied to obtain metric spaces which have interesting properties pertaining to the span, semispan, and symmetric span of metric continua. In particular, we show that no two of these variants of span agree for all simple closed curves or for all simple triods.
