Some PL involutions of product 3-manifolds which preserve the center of the fundamental group
In this survey, we consider several questions pertaining to homeomorphisms, including criteria for their existence in certain circumstances, and obstructions to their existence.
For a metrizable space X and a finite measure space (Ω, , µ), the space M µ(X) of all equivalence classes (under the relation of equality almost everywhere mod µ) of -measurable functions from Ω to X, whose images are separable, equipped with the topology of convergence in measure, and some of its subspaces are studied. In particular, it is shown that M µ(X) is homeomorphic to a Hilbert space provided µ is (nonzero) nonatomic and X is completely metrizable and has more than one point.
Let X = (X,d) be a metric space and let the product space X × ℝ be endowed with the metric ϱ ((x,t),(x’,t’)) = maxd(x,x’), |t - t’|. We denote by the space of bounded upper semicontinuous multi-valued functions φ : X → ℝ such that each φ(x) is a closed interval. We identify with its graph which is a closed subset of X × ℝ. The space admits the Hausdorff metric induced by ϱ. It is proved that if X = (X,d) is uniformly locally connected, non-compact and complete, then is homeomorphic to a...
