Let $X$ be a compact metric space and $T:X\longrightarrow X$ be continuous. Let $h^*(T)$ be the supremum of topological sequence entropies of $T$ over all subsequences of $\mathbb Z_+$ and $S(X)$ be the set of the values $h^*(T)$ for all…

In this paper we devote to spaces that are not homotopically hausdorff and study their covering spaces. We introduce the notion of small covering and prove that every small covering of $X$ is the universal covering in categorical sense.…

We give a short proof that, for nice $X$, the based fundamental groupoid of $X$ with topology induced by the compact open topology on the space of paths, is indeed the universal covering space of $X$.

Hyperspaces form a powerful tool in some branches of mathematics: lots of fractal and other geometric objects can be viewed as fixed points of some functions in suitable hyperspaces - as well as interesting classes of formal languages in…

For any set $X$, ${\mathcal P}(X)$ denotes the collection of all subsets of $X$, ordered by inclusion. A {\it cutset} in ${\mathcal P}(X)$ is a subset of ${\mathcal P}(X)$ which meets every maximal chain of ${\mathcal P}(X)$. A cutset is…

For a topological space $X$ its reflection in a class $\mathsf T$ of topological spaces is a pair $(\mathsf T X,i_X)$ consisting of a space $\mathsf T X\in\mathsf T$ and continuous map $i_X:X\to \mathsf T X$ such that for any continuous map…

In various articles, it is said that the class of all soft topologies on a common universe forms a complete lattice, but in this paper, we prove that it is a complete lattice. Some soft topologies are maximal and some are minimal with…

For any $C\in[0,\infty]$ a compact group automorphism $T:X\to X$ is constructed with the property that $$ \frac{1}{n}\log|\{x\in X\mid T^n(x)=x\}|\longrightarrow C. $$ This may be interpreted as a combinatorial analogue of the (still open)…

We study topological groups of monotonic autohomeomorphisms on a generalized ordered space $L$. We find a condition that is necessary and sufficient for the set of all monotonic autohomeomorphisms on $L$ along with the function composition…

A topological space $X$ is called a topological fractal if $X=\bigcup_{f\in\mathcal F}f(X)$ for a finite system $\mathcal F$ of continuous self-maps of $X$, which is topologically contracting in the sense that for every open cover $\mathcal…

Given a simplicial complex $X$, we construct a simplicial complex $\Omega X$ that may be regarded as a combinatorial version of the based loop space of a topological space. Our construction explicitly describes the simplices of $\Omega X$…

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 $I$,…

A topology is defined on the mapping class group of a compact connected orientable surface. It is shown that a notion of "genericity" on subsets of the mapping class group arises from this definition. Many plausible results follow from this…

We construct a complete locally convex topological vector space $X$ of countable algebraic dimension and a continuous linear operator $T:X\to X$ such that $T$ has no non-trivial closed invariant subspaces.

We define a class of subsets of a topological space that coincides with the class of compact saturated subsets when the space is sober, and with enough good properties when the space is not sober. This class is introduced especially in view…

In this paper we examine two basic topological properties of partial metric spaces, namely compactness and completeness. Our main result claims that in these spaces compactness is equivalent to sequential compactness. We also show that…

We discuss some notions of compactness and convergence relative to a specified family F of subsets of some topological space X. The two most interesting particular cases of our construction appear to be the following ones. (1) The case in…

A regular topological space $X$ is defined to be a $\mathfrak P_0$-space if it has countable Pytkeev network. A network $\mathcal N$ for $X$ is called a Pytkeev network if for any point $x\in X$, neighborhood $O_x\subset X$ of $x$ and…

For a topological space X, let (RX)s := (RX,Ts) be the cartesian product of |X| copies of the real line R with the topology of the uniform convergence on separable subsets of X. In this article we analyze the subspace C(X) of (RX)s of all…

Let $X$ be an arbitrary set. Then a topology $t$ on $X$ is said to be completely useful if every upper semicontinuous linear (total) preorder $\precsim$ on $X$ can be represented by an upper semicontinuous real-valued order preserving…
