General Topology

We characterize topological (and uniform) spaces whose free (locally convex) topological vector spaces have a local $\mathfrak G$-base. A topological space $X$ has a local $\mathfrak G$-base if every point $x$ of $X$ has a neighborhood base…

Denote by $\mathbf C_k[\mathfrak M]$ the $C_k$-stable closure of the class $\mathfrak M$ of all metrizable spaces, i.e., $\mathbf C_k[\mathfrak M]$ is the smallest class of topological spaces that contains $\mathfrak M$ and is closed under…

We show that for any continuous monotonic fixed-point free automorphism $f$ on a $\sigma$-compact subgroup $G\subset \mathbb R$ there exists a binary operation $+_f$ such that $\langle G, +_f\rangle$ is a topological group topologically…

We use geometric techniques to explicitly find the topological structure of the space of SO(3)-representations of the fundamental group of a closed surface of genus 2 quotient by the conjugation action by SO(3). There are two components of…

We give a short proof of an improved version of the Effros Open Mapping Principle via a shift-compactness theorem (also with a short proof), involving `sequential analysis' rather than separability, deducing it from the Baire property in a…

In this paper we discuss what kind of constrains combinatorial covering properties of Menger, Scheepers, and Hurewicz impose on remainders of topological groups. For instance, we show that such a remainder is Hurewicz if and only it is…

Building on work of van Engelen and van Mill, we show that a zero-dimensional Borel space is homeomorphic to a semifilter if and only if it is homogeneous and not locally compact. Under $\mathbf{\Sigma}^1_1$-Determinacy, this result extends…

The paper deals with Ascoli spaces $C_p(X)$ and $C_k(X)$ over Tychonoff spaces $X$. The class of Ascoli spaces $X$, i.e. spaces $X$ for which any compact subset $K$ of $C_k(X)$ is evenly continuous, essentially includes the class of…

We introduce and study adhesive spaces. Using this concept we obtain a characterization of stable Baire maps $f:X\to Y$ of the class $\alpha$ for wide classes of topological spaces. In particular, we prove that for a topological space $X$…

Combining ideas of Troallic and Cascales, Namioka, and Vera, we prove several characterizations of \textit{almost equicontinuity} and \textit{hereditary almost equicontinuity} for subsets of metric-valued continuous functions when they are…

A PV number is an algebraic integer $\alpha$ of degree $d \geq 2$ all of whose Galois conjugates other than itself have modulus less than $1$. Erd\"{o}s \cite{erdos} proved that the Fourier transform $\widehat \varphi,$ of a nonzero…

Early this century K. H. Hofmann and S. A. Morris introduced the class of pro-Lie groups which consists of projective limits of finite-dimensional Lie groups and proved that it contains all compact groups, all locally compact abelian…

Let $X$ and $Y$ be compact Hausdorff spaces and suppose that there exists a linear continuous surjection $T:C_{p}(X) \to C_{p}(Y)$, where $C_{p}(X)$ denotes the space of all real-valued continuous functions on $X$ endowed with the pointwise…

We introduce the notion of set-wise injective maps and provide results about fiber embeddings. Our results improve some previous results in this area.

We show that every filter $\mathcal{F}$ on $\omega$, viewed as a subspace of $2^\omega$, is homeomorphic to $\mathcal{F}^2$. This generalizes a theorem of van Engelen, who proved that this holds for Borel filters.

We study tightness properties and selective versions of separability in bitopological function spaces endowed with set-open topologies.

In the paper, we recall the Wallman compactification of a Tychonoff space $T$ (denoted by $\text{Wall}(T)$) and the contribution made by Gillman and Jerison. Motivated by the Gelfand-Naimark theorem, we investigate the homeomorphism between…

The shift map $\sigma$ on $\omega^*$ is the continuous self-map of $\omega^*$ induced by the function $n \mapsto n+1$ on $\omega$. Given a compact Hausdorff space $X$ and a continuous function $f: X \rightarrow X$, we say that $(X,f)$ is a…

The \emph{linear refinement number} $\mathfrak{lr}$ is the minimal cardinality of a centered family in $[\omega]^\omega$ such that no linearly ordered set in $([\omega]^\omega,\subseteq^*)$ refines this family. The \emph{linear excluded…

We construct, using $\diamondsuit$, an example of a sequential group $G$ such that the only countable sequential subgroups of $G$ are closed and discrete, and the only quotients of $G$ that have a countable pseudocharacter are countable and…
