Small sets with respect to certain classes of topologies
Steinhaus' lattice points problem addresses the question of whether it is possible to cover exactly n lattice points on the plane with an open ball for every fixed nonnegative integer n. This paper includes a theorem which can be used to solve the general problem of covering elements of so-called quasi-finite sets in Hilbert spaces. Some applications of this theorem are considered.
An investigation is carried out of the compact convex sets X in an infinite-dimensional separable Hilbert space , for which the metric antiprojection from e to X has fixed cardinality n+1 ( arbitrary) for every e in a dense subset of . A similar study is performed in the case of the metric projection from e to X where X is a compact subset of .
Answering a question of Halbeisen we prove (by two different methods) that the algebraic dimension of each infinite-dimensional complete linear metric space X equals the size of X. A topological method gives a bit more: the algebraic dimension of a linear metric space X equals |X| provided the hyperspace K(X) of compact subsets of X is a Baire space. Studying the interplay between Baire properties of a linear metric space X and its hyperspace, we construct a hereditarily Baire linear metric space...
We prove that every Baire subspace Y of c₀(Γ) has a dense metrizable subspace X with dim X ≤ dim Y. We also prove that the Kimura-Morishita Eberlein compactifications of metrizable spaces preserve large inductive dimension. The proofs rely on new and old results concerning the dimension of uniform spaces.
We show that there exist -metrizable spaces which do not have the Dugundji extension property ( with the countable box topology is such a space). This answers a question posed by the second author in 1972, and shows that certain results of van Douwen and Borges are false.
We examine the Gruenhage property, property * (introduced by Orihuela, Smith, and Troyanski), fragmentability, and the existence of σ-isolated networks in the context of linearly ordered topological spaces (LOTS), generalized ordered spaces (GO-spaces), and monotonically normal spaces. We show that any monotonically normal space with property * or with a σ-isolated network must be hereditarily paracompact, so that property * and the Gruenhage property are equivalent in monotonically normal spaces....
