We prove that under [CH], finite compactifications of $\omega^* \setminus \{x\}$ are homeomorphic to $\omega^*$. Moreover, in each case, the remainder consists almost exclusively of $P$-points, apart from possibly one point. Similar results…

We investigate for which compactifications $\gamma\omega$ of the discrete space of natural numbers $\omega$, the natural copy of the Banach space $c_0$ is complemented in $C(\gamma\omega)$. We show, in particular, that the separability of…

For a $C_0(X)$-algebra $A$, we study $C(K)$-algebras $B$ that we regard as compactifications of $A$, generalising the notion of (the algebra of continuous functions on) a compactification of a completely regular space. We show that $A$…

We say that a Tychonoff space $X$ is a $\kappa$-space if it is homeomorphic to a closed subspace of $C_p(Y)$ for some locally compact space $Y$. The class of $\kappa$-spaces is strictly between the class of Dieudonn\'{e} complete spaces and…

This paper investigates the space $C_k(\omega^*,\omega^*)$, the space of continuous self-maps on the Stone-\v{C}ech remainder of the integers, $\omega^*$, equipped with the compact-open topology. Our main results are that (1)…

We prove pseudocompactness of a Tychonoff space $X$ and the space $\mathcal{P}(X)$ of Radon probability measures on it with the weak topology under the condition that the Stone-\v{C}ech compactification of the space $\mathcal{P}(X)$ is…

Let B(kappa, lambda) be the subalgebra of P(kappa) generated by [kappa]^{<= lambda}. It is shown that if B is any homomorphic image of B(kappa, lambda) then either |B|< 2^lambda or |B|=|B|^lambda, moreover if X is the Stone space of B then…

In this note we shall prove that the Stone-\v{C}ech compactification of $\mathcal{L}^n$ is the space $\bar{\mathcal{L}}^n$ where $\bar{\mathcal{L}}$ is the extended long line, namely, $\mathcal{L}$ together with its ends $\pm \Omega$. We…

Let $CH$ be the class of compacta (i.e., compact Hausdorff spaces), with $BS$ the subclass of Boolean spaces. For each ordinal $alpha$ and pair $(K,L)$ of subclasses of $CH$, we define $Lev_{>=alpha}(K,L)$, the class of maps of level at…

We show that an embedding of a fixed 0-dimensional compact space $K$ into the \v{C}ech--Stone remainder $\omega^*$ as a nowhere dense P-set is the unique generic limit, a special object in the category consisting of all continuous maps from…

The topological reconstruction problem asks how much information about a topological space can be recovered from its point-complement subspaces. If the whole space can be recovered in this way, it is called reconstructible. Our main result…

Square-kappa-finite, the finite family version of weak square, holds at all cardinals kappa in the Mitchell-Steel inner models.

Working in Zermelo-Fraenkel Set Theory with Atoms over an $\omega$-categorical $\omega$-stable structure, we show how \emph{infinite} constructions over definable sets can be encoded as \emph{finite} constructions over the Stone-\v{C}ech…

For any cardinal number $\kappa$ and an index set $\Gamma$, $\Sigma_\kappa$-product of real lines consists of elements of ${\mathbb R}^\Gamma$ having $<\kappa$ nonzero coordinates. A compact space $K$ is $\kappa$-Corson compact if it can be…

We introduce a new class of $\varkappa$-metrizable spaces, namely countably $\varkappa$-metrizable spaces. We show that the class of all $\varkappa$-metrizable spaces is a proper subclass of counably $\varkappa$-metrizable spaces. On the…

Let X be a h-homogeneous zero-dimensional compact Hausdorff space, i.e. X is a Stone dual of a homogeneous Boolean algebra. It is shown that the universal minimal space M(G) of the topological group G=Homeo(X), is the space of maximal…

An $\omega_1$-compact space is a space in which every closed discrete subspace is countable. We give various general conditions under which a locally compact, $\omega_1$-compact space is $\sigma$-countably compact, i.e., the union of…

M. Talagrand showed that, for the Cech-Stone compactification \beta\omega\ of the space of natural numbers, the norm and the weak topology generate different Borel structures in the Banach space C(\beta\omega). We prove that the Borel…

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…

The following is an open problem in topology: Determine whether the Stone-\v{C}ech compactification of a widely-connected space is necessarily an indecomposable continuum. Herein we describe properties of $X$ that are necessary and…
