Let $X$ be a uniform space and $U(X)$ the linear space of real-valued uniformly continuous functions on $X$. Our main objective is to give a number of properties characterizing the fact that $U(X)$ is stable under pointwise product in case…

We describe some Cartesian products of metric spaces and find conditions under which products of ultrametric spaces are ultrametric.

Recently, a notion of the free product $X \ast Y$ of two metric spaces $X$ and $Y$ has been introduced by T. Fukaya and T. Matsuka. In this paper, we study coarse geometric permanence properties of the free product $X \ast Y$. We show that…

In this paper, we consider a model of classical linear logic based on coherence spaces endowed with a notion of totality. If we restrict ourselves to total objects, each coherence space can be regarded as a uniform space and each linear map…

A metric space $\mathbf{X}$ is called densely complete if there exists a dense set $D$ in $\mathbf{X}$ such that every Cauchy sequence of points of $D $ converges in $\mathbf{X}$. One of the main aims of this work is to prove that the…

Let $\mathfrak{M}$ be a class of metric spaces. A metric space $Y$ is minimal $\mathfrak{M}$-universal if every $X\in\mathfrak{M}$ can be isometrically embedded in $Y$ but there are no proper subsets of $Y$ satisfying this property. We find…

Let $(X,d,p)$ be a pointed metric space. A pretangent space to $X$ at $p$ is a metric space consisting of some equivalence classes of convergent to $p$ sequences $(x_n), x_n \in X,$ whose degree of convergence is comparable with a given…

We study the properties of rectangular constant $ \mu(\mathbb{X}) $ in a normed linear space $\mathbb{X}$. We prove that $ \mu(\mathbb{X}) = 3$ iff the unit sphere contains a straight line segment of length 2. In fact, we prove that the…

A metric space $(M, d)$ is said to be universal for a class of metric spaces if all metric spaces in the class can be isometrically embedded into $(M, d)$. In this paper, for a metrizable space $Z$ possessing abundant subspaces, we first…

Three themes of general topology: quotient spaces; absolute retracts; and inverse limits - are reapproached here in the setting of metrizable uniform spaces, with an eye to applications in geometric and algebraic topology. The results…

A metric space $X$ is rigid if the isometry group of $X$ is trivial. The finite ultrametric spaces $X$ with $|X| \geq 2$ are not rigid since for every such $X$ there is a self-isometry having exactly $|X|-2$ fixed points. Using the…

On a smooth connected manifold, we consider all possible locally elliptic and locally bounded measurable coefficient Riemannian metrics called rough Riemannian metrics. We equip this set with an extended metric which is connected if and…

Metrizable spaces are studied in which every closed set is an $\alpha$-limit set for some continuous map and some point. It is shown that this property is enjoyed by every space containing sufficiently many arcs (formalized in the notion of…

A space is called minimal if it admits a minimal continuous selfmap. We give examples of metrizable continua $X$ admitting both minimal homeomorphisms and minimal noninvertible maps, whose squares $X\times X$ are not minimal, i.e., they…

A topological space is locally equiconnected if there exists a neighborhood $U$ of the diagonal in $X\times X$ and a continuous map $\lambda:U\times[0,1]\to X$ such that $\lambda(x,y,0)=x$, $\lambda(x,y,1)=y$ et $\lambda(x,x,t)=x$ for…

We prove that the countable product of supercomplete spaces having a countable closed cover consisting of partition-complete subspaces is supercomplete with respect to its metric-fine coreflection. Thus, countable products of…

It is proved that a straight projective-metric space has an open set of centers, if and only if it is either the hyperbolic or a Minkowskian geometry. It is also shown that if a straight projective-metric space has some finitely many…

A metric space $\mathrm{M}=(M,\de)$ is {\em indivisible} if for every colouring $\chi: M\to 2$ there exists $i\in 2$ and a copy $\mathrm{N}=(N, \de)$ of $\mathrm{M}$ in $\mathrm{M}$ so that $\chi(x)=i$ for all $x\in N$. The metric space…

A product of compact normal spaces is normal; the product of a countably infinite collection of non-trivial spaces is normal if and only if it is countably paracompact and each of its finite sub-products is normal; if all powers of a space…

We first prove that for every metrizable space $X$, for every closed subset $F$ whose complement is zero-dimensional, the space $X$ can be embedded into a product space of the closed subset $F$ and a metrizable zero-dimensional space as a…
