Stability of convergent continuous descent methods.
Building on earlier work of Katětov, Uspenskij proved in [8] that the group of isometries of Urysohn's universal metric space 𝕌, endowed with the pointwise convergence topology, is a universal Polish group (i.e. it contains an isomorphic copy of any Polish group). Answering a question of Gao and Kechris, we prove here the following, more precise result: for any Polish group G, there exists a closed subset F of 𝕌 such that G is topologically isomorphic to the group of isometries of 𝕌 which map...
We study several kinds of statistical convergence of sequences of functions with values in semi-uniform spaces. Particularly, we generalize to statistical convergence the classical results of C. Arzelà, Dini and P.S. Alexandroff, as well as their statistical versions studied in [Caserta A., Di Maio G., Kočinac L.D.R., {Statistical convergence in function spaces},. Abstr. Appl. Anal. 2011, Art. ID 420419, 11 pp.] and [Caserta A., Kočinac L.D.R., {On statistical exhaustiveness}, Appl. Math. Lett....
We investigate striped structures of stable and unstable sets of expansive homeomorphisms and continuum-wise expansive homeomorphisms. The following theorem is proved: if f : X → X is an expansive homeomorphism of a compact metric space X with dim X > 0, then the decompositions and of X into stable and unstable sets of f respectively are uncountable, and moreover there is σ (= s or u) and ϱ > 0 such that there is a Cantor set C in X with the property that for each x ∈ C, contains a nondegenerate...
Strongly paracompact metrizable spaces are characterized in terms of special S-maps onto metrizable non-Archimedean spaces. A similar characterization of strongly metrizable spaces is obtained as well. The approach is based on a sieve-construction of "metric"-continuous pseudo-sections of lower semicontinuous mappings.
