General Topology

We extend Exel's ample tight groupoid construction to non-ample groupoids, even in the general locally Hausdorff case.

We take the abstract basis approach to classical domain theory and extend it to quantitative domains. In doing so, we provide dual characterisations of distance domains (some new even in the classical case) as well as unifying and extending…

The enumeration degrees of sets of natural numbers can be identified with the degrees of difficulty of enumerating neighborhood bases of points in a universal second-countable $T_0$-space (e.g. the $\omega$-power of the Sierpi\'nski space).…

Polygon spaces have been studied extensively, and yet missing from the literature is a simple property that every polygon has: dimension. This is distinct (possibly) from the dimension of the ambient space in which the polygon lives. A…

While topology given by a linear order has been extensively studied, this cannot be said about the case when the order is given only locally. The aim of this paper is to fill this gap. We consider relation between local orderability and…

Previously, the authors used the insights of Robinson's non-standard analysis as a powerful tool to extend and simplify the construction of some compactifications of regular spaces. They now show that any Hausdorff compactification is…

Assuming ZF and its consistency, we study some topological and geometrical properties of the symmetrized max-plus algebra in the absence of the axiom of choice in order to discuss the minimizing vector theorem for finite products of copies…

A generalized topology in a set $X$ is a collection $\text{Cov}_X$ of families of subsets of $X$ such that the triple $(X,\bigcup \text{Cov}_X,\text{Cov}_X)$ is a generalized topological space in the sense of Delfs and Knebusch. In this…

We prove versions of the spectral adjunction, a Stone-type duality and Hofmann-Lawson duality for locally small spaces with bounded continuous mappings.

We develop the theory of locally small spaces in a new simple language and apply this simplification to re-build the theory of locally definable spaces over structures with topologies.

Let $(X,\tau)$ be a Hausdorff space, where $X$ is an infinite set. The compact complement topology $\tau^{\star}$ on $X$ is defined by: $\tau^{\star}=\{\emptyset\} \cup \{X\setminus M, \text{where $M$ is compact in $(X,\tau)$}\}$. In this…

A generalization of the triangle inequality is introduced by a mapping similar to a t-conorm mapping. This generalization leads us to a notion for which we use the $\star$-metric terminology. We are interested in the topological space…

In this paper, we give a new completion for quasi-uniform spaces which generalizes the completion theories of Doitchinov [8] and Stoltenberg [20]. The presented completion theory is very well-behaved and extends the completion theory of…

We prove that for any coarse spaces $X_1,\dots,X_n$ of asymptotic dimension $\ge 1$, the product $X=X_1\times\dots\times X_n$ has asymptotic dimension $\ge n$. Another result states that a finitary coare space $Z$ has $\mathrm{asdim}(Z)\ge…

We investigate some versions of $d$-space, well-filtered space and Rudin space concerning various countability properties. The main results include: (i) if the sobrification of a $T_0$ space $X$ is first-countable, then $X$ is an…

We call a \emph{comb} a map $f:I\to [0,\infty)$, where $I$ is a compact interval, such that $\{f\ge \varepsilon\}$ is finite for any $\varepsilon$. A comb induces a (pseudo)-distance $\dtf$ on $\{f=0\}$ defined by $\dtf(s,t) =…

The fundamental group $\pi_1(L)$ of a knot or link $L$ may be used to generate magic states appropriate for performing universal quantum computation and simultaneously for retrieving complete information about the processed quantum states.…

It is a classic result in modal logic that the category of modal algebras is dually equivalent to the category of descriptive frames. The latter are Kripke frames equipped with a Stone topology such that the binary relation is continuous.…

We characterize the uniform convergence points set of a pointwisely convergent sequence of real-valued functions defined on a perfectly normal space. We prove that if $X$ is a perfectly normal space which can be covered by a disjoint…

In this paper we consider a semitopological $\alpha$-bicyclic monoid $\mathcal{B}_{\alpha}$ and prove that it is algebraically isomorphic to a semigroup of all order isomorphisms between the principal upper sets of the ordinal…
