We give two examples of scattered compact spaces K such that C(K) is not uniformly homeomorphic to any subset of c₀(Γ) for any set Γ. The first one is [0,ω₁] and hence it has the smallest possible cardinality, the other one has the smallest possible height ω₀ + 1.

For every metric space X we introduce two cardinal characteristics $co{v}^{♭}\left(X\right)$ and $co{v}^{♯}\left(X\right)$ describing the capacity of balls in X. We prove that these cardinal characteristics are invariant under coarse equivalence, and that two ultrametric spaces X,Y are coarsely equivalent if $co{v}^{♭}\left(X\right)=co{v}^{♯}\left(X\right)=co{v}^{♭}\left(Y\right)=co{v}^{♯}\left(Y\right)$. This implies that an ultrametric space X is coarsely equivalent to an isometrically homogeneous ultrametric space if and only if $co{v}^{♭}\left(X\right)=co{v}^{♯}\left(X\right)$. Moreover, two isometrically homogeneous ultrametric spaces X,Y are coarsely equivalent if and only if $co{v}^{♯}\left(X\right)=co{v}^{♯}\left(Y\right)$...

Some results on cleavability theory are presented. We also show some new [16]'s results.

Clone properties are the properties expressible by the first order sentence of the clone language. The present paper is a contribution to the field of problems asking when distinct sentences of the language determine distinct topological properties. We fully clarify the relations among the rigidity, the fix-point property, the image-determining property and the coconnectedness.

Let $X$ be a metric space with a doubling measure, $Y$ be a boundedly compact metric space and $u:X\to Y$ be a Lebesgue precise mapping whose upper gradient $g$ belongs to the Lorentz space $L_{m,1}$, $m\ge 1$. Let $E\subset X$ be a set of measure zero. Then ${\widehat{\mathscr{H}}}_m(E\cap u^{-1}\left(y\right))=0$ for ${\mathscr{H}}_m$-a.e. $y\in Y$, where ${\mathscr{H}}_m$ is the $m$-dimensional Hausdorff measure and ${\widehat{\mathscr{H}}}_m$ is the $m$-codimensional Hausdorff measure. This property is closely related to the coarea formula and implies a version of the Eilenberg inequality. The result relies on estimates of Hausdorff content of level sets...

Gromov and Dranishnikov introduced asymptotic and coarse dimensions of proper metric spaces via quite different ways. We define coarse and asymptotic dimension of all metric spaces in a unified manner and we investigate relationships between them generalizing results of Dranishnikov and Dranishnikov-Keesling-Uspienskij.

The main results of the paper are: Proposition 0.1. A group G acting coarsely on a coarse space (X,𝓒) induces a coarse equivalence g ↦ g·x₀ from G to X for any x₀ ∈ X. Theorem 0.2. Two coarse structures 𝓒₁ and 𝓒₂ on the same set X are equivalent if the following conditions are satisfied: (1) Bounded sets in 𝓒₁ are identical with bounded sets in 𝓒₂. (2) There is a coarse action ϕ₁ of a group G₁ on (X,𝓒₁) and a coarse action ϕ₂ of a...

A net in a Hausdorff uniform space is called cofinally Cauchy if for each entourage, there exists a cofinal (rather than residual) set of indices whose corresponding terms are pairwise within the entourage. In a metric space equipped with the associated metric uniformity, if each cofinally Cauchy sequence has a cluster point, then so does each cofinally Cauchy net, and the space is called cofinally complete. Here we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the nonempty closed subsets of the...
