On certain generalized notions using $\mathcal{I}$-convergence in topological spaces

In this paper, we consider certain topological properties along with certain types of mappings on these spaces defined by the notion of ideal convergence. In order to do that, we primarily follow in the footsteps of the earlier studies of ideal convergence done by using functions (from an infinite set $S$ to $X$) in \cite{CS, das4, das5}, as that is the most general perspective and use functions instead of sequences/nets/double sequences etc. This functional approach automatically provides the most general settings for such studies and consequently extends and unifies the proofs of several old and recent results in the literature about spaces like sequential, Fr\'{e}chet-Uryshon spaces and sequential, quotient and covering maps. In particular, we introduce and investigate the notions of $\ic$-functional spaces, $\ic$-functional continuous, quotient and covering mappings and finally $\ic$-functional Fr\'{e}chet-Uryshon spaces. In doing so, we take help of certain set theoretic and other properties of ideals.
