General Topology

Connectedness, path connectedness, and uniform connectedness are well-known concepts. In the traditional presentation of these concepts there is a substantial difference between connectedness and the other two notions, namely connectedness…

We prove that the Cech-Stone remainder of the real line has a family of 2^c mutually non-homeomorphic subcontinua. We also exhibit a consistent example of a first-countable continuum that is not a continuous image of this remainder.

We say that a topological group $G$ is partially box $\kappa$-resolvable if there exist a dense subset $B$ of $G$ and a subset $A $ of $G$, $|A|=\kappa$ such that the subsets $\{ aB: a\in A\}$ are pairwise disjoint. If $G=AB$ then $G$ is…

Every countable topological group $G$ has a closed discrete subset $A$ such that $G=AA^{-1}.$

The Bishop property ($\symbishop$), introduced recently by K.P. Hart, T. Kochanek and the first-named author, was motivated by Pe{\l}czy{\'n}ski's classical work on weakly compact operators on $C(K)$-spaces. This property asserts that…

Although inverse limits with factor spaces indexed by the positive integers are most commonly studied, Ingram and Mahavier have defined inverse limits with set-valued functions broadly enough for any directed index set to be used. In this…

We prove that a Hausdorff paratopological group G is meager if and only if there are a nowhere dense subset A of G and a countable subset C in G such that CA=G=AC.

In this work, new equivalences of topological statements and weaker axioms than ${\bf AC}$ are proven. This equivalences include the use of anti-properties. All this equivalences have been checked with a computer using the theorem proving…

We use convergence theory as the framework for studying H-closed spaces and H-sets in topological spaces. From this viewpoint, it becomes clear that the property of being H-closed and the property of being an H-set in a topological space…

A Hausdorff topological group topology on a group $G$ is the minimum (Hausdorff) group topology if it is contained in every Hausdorff group topology on $G$. For every compact metrizable space $X$ containing an open $n$-cell, $n\ge2$, the…

If $X$ is compact metrizable and has finite fd-height then the unit interval, $I$, $\ell$-dominates $X$, in other words, there is a continuous linear map of $C_p(I)$ onto $C_p(X)$. If the unit interval $\ell$-dominates a space $X$ then $X$…

We study an analogue of the Parovicenko property in categories of compact spaces with additional structures. In particular, we present an internal characterization of this property in the class of compact median spaces.

A topological space has the fixed point property if every continuous self-map of that space has at least one fixed point. We demonstrate that there are serious restraints imposed by the requirement that there be a choice of fixed points…

This paper is a continuation of the work done in \cite{sal-yas} and \cite{may-pat-rob}. We deal with the Vietoris hyperspace of all nontrivial convergent sequences $\mathcal{S}_c(X)$ of a space $X$. We answer some questions in…

We prove that each closed locally continuum- connected subspace of a finite dimensional topological group is locally compact. This allows us to construct many 1-dimensional metrizable separable spaces that are not homeomorphic to closed…

The deck, $\mathcal{D}(X)$, of a topological space $X$ is the set $\mathcal{D}(X)=\{[X \setminus \{x\}]\colon x \in X\}$, where $[Y]$ denotes the homeomorphism class of $Y$. A space $X$ is (topologically) reconstructible if whenever…

Let $B_{1}(\Omega, \mathbb R)$ be the first Baire class of real functions in the pluri-fine topology on an open set $\Omega \subseteq \mathbb C^{n}$ and let $H_{1}^{*}(\Omega, \mathbb R)$ be the first functional Lebesgue class of real…

In the present article we investigate Darji's notion of Haar meager sets from several directions. We consider alternative definitions and show that some of them are equivalent to the original one, while others fail to produce interesting…

Every proper closed subgroup of a connected Hausdorff group must have index at least c, the cardinality of the continuum. 70 years ago Markov conjectured that a group G can be equipped with a connected Hausdorff group topology provided that…

The proof of Theorem 11 of the paper M. Scheepers, Remarks on countable tightness, Topology and its Applications 161 (2014), 407 - 432 relies on Lemma 10 of that paper. The offered proof of Lemma 10 had shortcomings, and I was recently…
