General Topology
We prove that each metrizable space (of cardinality less or equal to continuum) has a (first countable) uniform Eberlein compactification and each scattered metrizable space has a scattered hereditarily paracompact compactification. Each…
We show that for any discrete semigroup $X$ the semigroup operation can be extended to a right-topological semigroup operation on the space $G(X)$ of inclusion hyperspaces on $X$. We detect some important subsemigroups of $G(X)$, study the…
We prove a generalization of Kannan's fixed point theorem, based on a recent result of Vittorino Pata.
A table of the families of alternating knots formed by conways is presented. The Conway's function is shown with the use of linear algebra in terms of natural numbers, called conways, that represent the number of crossings along a…
The quasi-Lindel\"of property was first introduced by Arhangelski in \cite{Arc}, as a strengthening of the weakly Lindel\"of property. However, unlike Lindel\"of and weakly Lindel\"of spaces, very little is known about how quasi-Lindel\"of…
Lindel\"of spaces are studied in any basic Topology course. However, there are other interesting covering properties with similar behaviour, such as almost Lindel\"of, weakly Lindel\"of, and quasi-Lindel\"of, that have been considered in…
We show that there is no monad based on the normal functor $H$ introduced earlier by Radul which is a certain functorial compactification of the Hartman-Mycielski construction $HM$.
Directed topology is a refinement of standard topology, where spaces may have non-reversible paths. It has been put forward as a candidate approach to the analysis of concurrent processes. Recently, a wealth of different frameworks for,…
In this note we relate some selection principles to metrisability and separability of a manifold. In particular we show that $\sf{S}_{fin}(\mathcal K,\mathcal O)$, $\sf{S}_{fin}(\Omega,\Omega)$ and $\sf{S}_{fin}(\Lambda,\Lambda)$ are each…
In this note, we shall generalize the notion of a $P$-space to proximity spaces and investigate the basic properties of these proximities. We therefore define a $P_{\aleph_{1}}$-proximity to be a proximity where if $A_{n}\prec B$ for all…
We show that if $\mu \leq \cf \lambda $ and $\lambda$ is a strong limit singular cardinal, then $[\mu, \lambda ]$-compactness is productive if and only if either $\mu= \omega $, or $\mu$ is $\lambda$-strongly compact.
The statement in the title solves a problem raised by T. Retta. We also present a variation of the result in terms of $[ \mu ,\kappa ]$-compactness.
We introduce a covering notion depending on two cardinals, which we call $\mathcal O $-$ [ \mu, \lambda ]$-compactness, and which encompasses both pseudocompactness and many other generalizations of pseudocompactness. For Tychonoff spaces,…
It is known that the long line supports $2^{\aleph_1}$ many non-diffeomorphic differential structures. We show that the long plane supports a similar number of exotic differential structures, ie structures which are not merely diffeomorphic…
A topological preordered space admits a Hausdorff closed preorder compactification if and only if it is Tychonoff and the preorder is represented by the family of continuous isotone functions. We construct the largest Hausdorff closed…
We establish that every second countable completely regularly preordered space (E,T,\leq) is quasi-pseudo-metrizable, in the sense that there is a quasi-pseudo-metric p on E for which the pseudo-metric p\veep^-1 induces T and the graph of…
Inspired by a recent work of Dias and Tall, we show that a compact indestructible space is sequentially compact. We also prove that a Lindelof Hausdorff indestructible space has the finite derived set property and a compact Hausdorff…
In this paper, we study normality and metrizability of Wijsman hyperspaces. We show that every hereditarily normal Wijsman hyperspace is metrizable. This provides a partially answer to a problem of Di Maio and Meccariello in 1998.
There has recently been considerable interest in productively Lindelof spaces, i.e. spaces such that their product with every Lindelof space is Lindelof. Here we make several related remarks about such spaces. Indestructible Lindelof…
A new class of partial order-types, class $\gbqo^+$ is defined and investigated here. A poset $P$ is in the class $W^+ $ iff the free poset algebra $F(P)$ is generated by a better quasi-order $G$ that is included in the free lattice $L(P)$.…
