We solve the long standing problem of characterizing the class of strongly Fréchet spaces whose product with every strongly Fréchet space is also Fréchet.

In the present article we provide an example of two closed non-$\sigma$-lower porous sets $A,B\subseteq ℝ$ such that the product $A\times B$ is lower porous. On the other hand, we prove the following: Let $X$ and $Y$ be topologically complete metric spaces, let $A\subseteq X$ be a non-$\sigma$-lower porous Suslin set and let $B\subseteq Y$ be a non-$\sigma$-porous Suslin set. Then the product $A\times B$ is non-$\sigma$-lower porous. We also provide a brief summary of some basic properties of lower porosity, including a simple characterization of Suslin non-$\sigma$-lower porous sets in topologically...

In this paper we construct a Kelley continuum $X$ such that $X\times [0,1]$ is not semi-Kelley, this answers a question posed by J.J. Charatonik and W.J. Charatonik in A weaker form of the property of Kelley, Topology Proc. 23 (1998), 69–99. In addition, we show that the hyperspace $C\left(X\right)$ is not semi- Kelley. Further we show that small Whitney levels in $C\left(X\right)$ are not semi-Kelley, answering a question posed by A. Illanes in Problemas propuestos para el taller de Teoría de continuos y sus hiperespacios, Queretaro, 2013.

The second author was supported by funds of Italian Ministery of University and by funds of the University of Trieste (40% and 60%).Aiming to solve some open problems concerning pseudoradial spaces, we shall present the following: Assuming CH, there are two semiradial spaces without semi-radial product. A new property of pseudoradial spaces...
