General Topology

Working in the soft-element (classical) viewpoint, we introduce \emph{soft bitopological groups}: soft groups endowed with two soft topologies such that the induced topologies on the set of soft elements make the soft-element group into a…

In the context of the category $\mathsf{Cap}$ of convergence approach spaces and contractions, we introduce and study approach analogs of the upper and lower Kuratowski convergences, upper-Fell and Fell topologies on the set of closed…

We present a translation of Urysohn's description of normal spaces (as those where disjoint closed subsets are separated by a continuous function) into the language of lifting properties in $\mathbf{Top}$, correcting a frequently-cited…

A completely regular Hausdorff space $X$ is called a $WCF$-space if every pair of disjoint cozero-sets in $X$ can be separated by two disjoint $Z^{\circ}$-sets. The class of $WCF$-spaces properly contains both the class of $F$-spaces and…

We will see how to define the metric $\beta$, which turns the topological space of continuous functions whose domains are open subsets of a locally compact and second countable space $X$ to values in a polish space $Y$, called…

This is the second paper in a series on aura topological spaces $(X, \tau, \mathfrak{a})$, where $\mathfrak{a}: X \to \tau$ is a scope function with $x \in \mathfrak{a}(x)$. We study covering and connectivity properties in this setting.…

We equip a topological space $(X,\tau)$ with a function $\mathfrak{a}: X \to \tau$ satisfying the single axiom $x \in \mathfrak{a}(x)$. The resulting triple $(X, \tau, \mathfrak{a})$, which we call an aura topological space, provides a…

We define and study certain linear orders on chainable continua. Those orders depend on a sequence of chains obtained from definition of chainability and on a fixed non-principal ultrafilter on the set of natural numbers. An alternative…

In 1998, Benyamini introduced and proved the existence of universal interpolating functions. In the note we prove that the set of universal interpolating functions is nowhere dense in the space of continuous functions on $\mathbb{R}$.…

We introduce soft bitopological spaces from the standpoint of soft elements. A soft bitopological space is a soft set equipped with two soft topologies. Following the classical construction of Goldar--Ray, each soft topology on $F$ induces…

We characterize $\kappa$-Fr\'{e}chet--Urysohn topological groups. Using this characterization we show that: (1) a hemicompact topological group is $\kappa$-Fr\'{e}chet--Urysohn iff it is locally compact, and (2) if $F$ is a closed…

For a topological space $X$ a topological contraction on $X$ is a closed mapping $f:X\to X$ such that for every open cover of $X$ there is a positive integer $n$ such that the image of the space $X$ via the $n$th iteration of $f$ is a…

This paper has two aims, first one is to introduce special kind of proximal contractions guaranteeing a finite number of best proximity points, and second one is to derive best proximity point results for perimetric contractions. To meet…

We study quasi-modular pseudometric spaces as asymmetric refinements of modular metric structures. To each such space we associate canonical forward and backward quasi-uniformities and the corresponding directional topologies. We introduce…

In this article, we present several different ways to define hyperconvexity in partial metric spaces. In particular, we show that the analogue of the Aronszajn--Panitchpakdi notion of hyperconvexity fails to exhibit certain key properties…

We introduce a new parametrized diamond principle denoted $\diamondsuit(\mathsf{LP})$. This principle is akin to the parametrized diamonds of Moore, Hru\v{s}\'ak, and D\v{z}amonja, each of which corresponds to some cardinal invariant of the…

If $I$ is an ideal in the ring $C(X)$ of all real valued continuous functions defined over a Tychonoff space $X$, then $X$ is called $I$-$pseudocompact$ if the set $X\setminus \bigcap Z[I]$ is a bounded subset of $X$. Corresponding to $I$,…

We study the set of chords of a real-valued continuous function on [0,1] with f(0)=f(1)=0. We describe which chords may appear as isolated points and provide examples illustrating our characterization. Maximal Hopf sets are introduced and…

We present a Stone duality for bitopological spaces in analogy to the duality between Stone spaces and Boolean algebras, in the same vein as the duality between d-sober bitopological spaces and spatial d-frames established by Jung and…

Directional notions in topology and analysis naturally lead to nonsymmetric structures such as quasi-metrics, quasi-uniformities, and modular spaces. In these settings, classical notions of connectedness and completion based on symmetric…
