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…

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…

Let $P$ be a directed set and $X$ a space. A collection $\mathcal{C}$ of subsets of $X$ is \emph{$P$-locally finite} if $\mathcal{C}=\bigcup \{ \mathcal{C}_p : p \in P\}$ where (i) if $p \le p'$ then $\mathcal{C}_p \subseteq…

For $ \mathscr{B} \subseteq \mathbb{N} $, the $ \mathscr{B} $-free subshift $ X_{\eta} $ is the orbit closure of the characteristic function of the set of $ \mathscr{B} $-free integers. We show that many results about invariant measures and…

Consider a subshift over a finite alphabet, $X\subset \Lambda^{\mathbb Z}$ (or $X\subset\Lambda^{\mathbb N_0}$). With each finite block $B\in\Lambda^k$ appearing in $X$ we associate the empirical measure ascribing to every block…

Let $(X,d)$ be a compact metric space, $f:X \mapsto X$ be a continuous map satisfying a property we call almost specification (which is slightly weaker than the $g$-almost product property of Pfister and Sullivan), and $\phi$ be a…

After defining continuous extensions of binary relations on the set N of natural numbers to its Stone-Cech compactification \beta N, we establish some results about one of such extensions. This provides us with one possible divisibility…

Let $X$ be a metric space and $BCl(X)$ the collection of nonempty bounded closed subsets of $X$ as a metric space with respect to Hausdorff distance. We study both characterization and representation of Lipschitz paths in $BCl(X)$ in terms…

For a non-compact metrizable space $X$, let ${\mathcal E}(X)$ be the set of all one-point metrizable extensions of $X$, and when $X$ is locally compact, let ${\mathcal E}_K(X)$ denote the set of all locally compact elements of ${\mathcal…

A {\it dynamical system\/} is a pair $(X,\langle T_s\rangle_{s\in S})$, where $X$ is a compact Hausdorff space, $S$ is a semigroup, for each $s\in S$, $T_s$ is a continuous function from $X$ to $X$, and for all $s,t\in S$, $T_s\circ…

For a metrizable space $X$ of density $\kappa$, let $PM(X)$ be the space of continuous bounded pseudometrics on $X$ endowed with the uniform convergence topology. In this paper, its topology shall be classified as follows: (i) If $X$ is…

We explore the Borel complexity of some basic families of subsets of a countable group (large, small, thin, sparse and other) defined by the size of their elements. Applying the obtained results to the Stone-\v{C}ech compactification $\beta…

Let $X$ be a proper CAT($0$) space and $G$ a cocompact group of isometries of $X$ without fixed point at infinity. We prove that if $\partial X$ contains an invariant subset of circumradius $\pi/2$, then $X$ contains a quasi-dense, closed…

For each positive integer $m$ and each real finite dimensional Banach space $X$, we set $\beta(X,m)$ to be the infimum of $\delta\in (0,1]$ such that each set $A\subset X$ having diameter $1$ can be represented as the union of $m$ subsets…

We prove that a $T_0$ topological space is $\omega$-well-filtered if and only if it does not admit either the natural numbers with the cofinite topology or with the Scott topology as its closed subsets in the strong topology. Based on this,…

A strong submeasure on a compact metric space X is a sub-linear and bounded operator on the space of continuous functions on X. A strong submeasure is positive if it is non-decreasing. By Hahn-Banach theorem, a positive strong submeasure is…

We characterize ultrafilter convergence and ultrafilter compactness in linearly ordered and generalized ordered topological spaces. In such spaces, and for every ultrafilter $D$, the notions of $D$-compactness and of $D$-pseudocompactness…

We give several topological/combinatorial conditions that, for a filter on $\omega$, are equivalent to being a non-meager $\mathsf{P}$-filter. In particular, we show that a filter is countable dense homogeneous if and only if it is a…

A set X which is a subset of the Cantor set has property (s) (Marczewski (Spzilrajn)) iff for every perfect set P there exists a perfect set Q contained in P such that Q is a subset of X or Q is disjoint from X. Suppose U is a nonprincipal…

We study that natural inclusions $C^b(X) \tensor A$ into $C^b(X,A)$ and $C^b(X, C^b(Y))$ into $C^b(X \times Y)$. In particular, excepting trivial cases, both these maps are isomorphisms only when $X$ and $Y$ are pseudocompact. This implies…
