A metric space $X$ is {\em injective} if every non-expanding map $f:B\to X$ defined on a subspace $B$ of a metric space $A$ can be extended to a non-expanding map $\bar f:A\to X$. We prove that a metric space $X$ is a Lipschitz image of an…

A Tychonoff space $X$ is called $\kappa$-pseudocompact if for every continuous mapping $f$ of $X$ into $\mathbb{R}^\kappa$ the image $f(X)$ is compact. This notion generalizes pseudocompactness and gives a stratification of spaces lying…

A compact graph-like space is a triple $(X,V,E)$ where $X$ is a compact, metrizable space, $V \subseteq X$ is a closed zero-dimensional subset, and $E$ is an index set such that $X \setminus V \cong E \times (0,1)$. New characterizations of…

We introduce and investigate a topological version of St\"ackel's 1907 characterization of finite sets, with the goal of obtaining an interesting notion that characterizes usual compactness (or a close variant of it). Define a $T_2$…

We describe the proper absolute (neighborhood) extensors for the class of at most $n$-dimensional spaces, notation $\rm{A(N)E}_p(n)$. For example, the unique locally compact $n$-dimensional separable metric space $X\in\rm{AE}_p(n)$…

We show that all sufficiently nice $\lambda$-sets are countable dense homogeneous ($\mathsf{CDH}$). From this fact we conclude that for every uncountable cardinal $\kappa \le \mathfrak{b}$ there is a countable dense homogeneous metric space…

Suppose $G$ is a connected noncompact locally compact group, $A,B$ are nonempty and compact subsets of $G$, $\mu$ is a left Haar measure on $G$. Assuming that $G$ is unimodular, and $ \mu(A^2) < K \mu(A) $ with $K>1$ a fixed constant, our…

Let us denote by $\Phi(\lambda,\mu)$ the statement that $\mathbb{B}(\lambda) = D(\lambda)^\omega$, i.e. the Baire space of weight $\lambda$, has a coloring with $\mu$ colors such that every homeomorphic copy of the Cantor set $\mathbb{C}$…

A compact topological space X is spectral if it is sober (i.e., every irreducible closed set is the closure of a unique singleton) and the compact open subsets of X form a basis of the topology of X, closed under finite intersections.…

Let $X$ be a locally symmetric space $\Gamma\backslash G/K$ where $G$ is a connected non-compact semisimple real Lie group with trivial centre, $K$ is a maximal compact subgroup of $G$, and $\Gamma\subset G$ is a torsion-free irreducible…

We show that $C(X)$ admits an equivalent pointwise lower semicontinuous locally uniformly rotund norm provided $X$ is Fedorchuk compact of spectral height 3. In other words $X$ admits a fully closed map $f$ onto a metric compact $Y$ such…

Generalizing de Vries Compactification Theorem and strengthening Leader Local Compactification Theorem, we describe the partially ordered set $(\LL(X),\le)$ of all (up to equivalence) locally compact Hausdorff extensions of a Tychonoff…

We show that if $X$ is a separable locally compact Hausdorff connected space with fewer than $\mathfrak c$ non-cut points, then $X$ embeds into a dendrite $D\subseteq \mathbb R ^2$, and the set of non-cut points of $X$ is a nowhere dense…

For a space $X$ let $\mathcal{K}(X)$ be the set of compact subsets of $X$ ordered by inclusion. A map $\phi:\mathcal{K}(X) \to \mathcal{K}(Y)$ is a relative Tukey quotient if it carries compact covers to compact covers. When there is such a…

We consider two natural topologies on the space $S(X\times Y,Z)$ of all separately continuous functions defined on the product of two topological spaces $X$ and $Y$ and ranged into a topological or metric space $X$. These topologies are the…

By proving that, if the quotient space S(X) of the connected components of the locally compact metric space (X,d) is compact, then the full group I(X,d) of isometries of X is closed in C(X,X) with respect to the pointwise topology, i.e.,…

We show that a linearly ordered topological space is initially \lambda-compact if and only if it is \lambda-bounded, that is, every set of cardinality $\leq \lambda$ has compact closure. As a consequence, every product of initially…

A locally convex space (lcs) $E$ is said to have an $\omega^{\omega}$-base if $E$ has a neighborhood base $\{U_{\alpha}:\alpha\in\omega^\omega\}$ at zero such that $U_{\beta}\subseteq U_{\alpha}$ for all $\alpha\leq\beta$. The class of lcs…

A classical result of Cembranos and Freniche states that the C(K, X) spaces contains a complemented copy of c_0 whenever K is an infinite compact Hausdorff space and X is an infinite dimensional Banach space. This paper takes this result as…

Fine shape, as defined by Melikhov, is an extension of the strong shape category of compacta (compact metrizable topological spaces) to all metrizable spaces, notable for being compatible with both \v{C}ech cohomology and Steenrod-Sitnikov…
