General Topology
We introduce the notion of weakly (strongly) infinite real rank for unital $C^{\ast}$-algebras. It is shown that a compact space $X$ is weakly (strongly) infine-dimensional if and only if $C(X)$ has weakly (strongly) infinite real rank.…
Throughout this Abstract, $G$ is a topological Abelian group and $\hat{G}$ is the space of continuous homomorphisms from $G$ into $T$ in the compact-open topology. A dense subgroup $D$ of $G$ determines $G$ if the (necessarily continuous)…
We prove theorems of the following form: if $A\subseteq {\mathbb R}^2$ is a big set, then there exists a big set $P\subseteq {\mathbb R}$ and a perfect set $Q\subseteq {\mathbb R}$ such that $P\times Q\subseteq A$. We discuss cases where…
We answer a question of Juhasz by constructing under CH an example of a locally connected continuum without nontrivial convergent sequences.
Every topological group $G$ has some natural compactifications which can be a useful tool of studying $G$. We discuss the following constructions: (1) the greatest ambit $S(G)$ is the compactification corresponding to the algebra of all…
We prove that, for every cardinal number $\alpha\geq {\mathfrak c}$, there exists a metrizable space $X$ with $|X|=\alpha$ such that for every pair of quasiorders $\leq_1$, $\leq_2$ on a set $Q$ with $|Q| \leq \alpha$ satisfying the…
Given a cover $\mathcal{B}$ of a quasi-uniform space $Y$ we introduce a concept of lower semicontinuity for multifunctions $F:X\to 2^Y$, called $\mathcal{B}$-lsc. In this way, we get a common description of Vietoris-lsc, Hausdorff-lsc, and…
We study FTOP(L), a fuzzy category with fuzzy functions in the role of morphisms. This category has the same objects as the category L-TOP of Chang-Goguen L-topological spaces,but an essentially wider class of morphisms - so called fuzzy…
This is a survey of compactification extension results and problems for a special class of proximities.
In this paper we examine the topology of inverse limit spaces generated by maps of finite graphs. In particular we explore the way in which the structure of the orbits of the turning points affects the inverse limit. We show that if $f$ has…
A Cech closure space $(X,u)$ is a set $X$ with a (Cech) closure operator $u$ which need not be idempotent. Many properties which hold in topological spaces hold in Cech closure spaces as well. The notions of proper (splitting) and…
Given a Dedekind incomplete ordered field, a pair of convergent nets of gaps which are respectively increasing or decreasing to the same point is used to obtain a further equivalent criterion for Dedekind completeness of ordered fields:…
This note is a survey of $J$-spaces.
In the paper we investigate Borel classes of multivalued functions of two variables. In particular we generalize a result of Marczewski and Ryll-Nardzewski concerning of real function whose ones of its sections are right-continuous and…
Problem 540 of J. D. Lawson and M. Mislove in Open Problems in Topology asks whether the process of taking duals terminate after finitely many steps with topologies that are duals of each other. The problem for $T_1$ spaces was already…
We prove that if $T: X \to X$ is a selfmap of a set $X$ such that $\bigcap \{T^{n}X: n\in N}\}$ is a one-point set, then the set $X$ can be endowed with a compact Hausdorff topology so that $T$ is continuous.
This is a survey on special metrics. We shall present some results and open questions on special metrics mainly appeared in the last 10 years
The present paper improves a result of V. Gutev and T. Nogura (1999) showing that a space $X$ is topologically well-orderable if and only if there exists a selection for $\mathcal{F}_2(X)$ which is continuous with respect to the Fell…
We define a property sub-representability and we give a complete characterisation of sub-representability of posets.
A base $\mathcal{B}$ for a space $X$ is said to be sharp if, whenever $x\in X$ and $(B_n)_{n\in\omega}$ is a sequence of pairwise distinct elements of $\mathcal{B}$ each containing $x$, the collection $\{\bigcap_{j\le n}B_j:n\in\omega\}$ is…
