Let X and Y be compacta and let f:X → Y be a k-dimensional map. In [5] Pasynkov stated that if Y is finite-dimensional then there exists a map such that dim (f × g) = 0. The problem that we deal with in this note is whether or not the restriction on the dimension of Y in the Pasynkov theorem can be omitted. This problem is still open. Without assuming that Y is finite-dimensional Sternfeld [6] proved that there exists a map such that dim (f × g) = 1. We improve this result of Sternfeld showing...
Borsuk's quasi-equivalence relation on the class of all compacta is considered. The open problem concerning transitivity of this relation is solved in the negative. Namely, three continua X, Y and Z lying in ℝ³ are constructed such that X is quasi-equivalent to Y and Y is quasi-equivalent to Z, while X is not quasi-equivalent to Z.
The Borsuk-Sieklucki theorem says that for every uncountable family of n-dimensional closed subsets of an n-dimensional ANR-compactum, there exist α ≠ β such that . In this paper we show a cohomological version of that theorem: Theorem. Suppose a compactum X is , where n ≥ 1, and G is an Abelian group. Let be an uncountable family of closed subsets of X. If for all α ∈ J, then for some α ≠ β. For G being a countable principal ideal domain the above result was proved by Choi and Kozlowski...
In a Tychonoff space , the point is called a -point if every real-valued continuous function on can be extended continuously to . Every point in an extremally disconnected space is a -point. A classic example is the space consisting of the countable ordinals together with . The point is known to be a -point as well as a -point. We supply a characterization of -points in totally ordered spaces. The remainder of our time is aimed at studying when a point in a product space is a -point....
For every countable non-limit ordinal α we construct an α-dimensional Cantor ind-manifold, i.e., a compact metrizable space such that , and no closed subset L of with ind L less than the predecessor of α is a partition in . An α-dimensional Cantor Ind-manifold can be constructed similarly.
