Answering a question raised by V. V. Tkachuk, we present several examples of $\sigma$-compact spaces, some only consistent and some in ZFC, that are not countably tight but in which the closure of any discrete subset is countably tight. In…

An old question of A.V. Arhangel'skii asks if the Menger property of a Tychonoff space $X$ is preserved by homeomorphisms of its function space $C_p(X)$. We provide affirmative answer in the case of linear homeomorphisms. To this end, we…

For a compact space $K$ we denote by $C_w(K)$ ($C_p(K)$) the space of continuous real-valued functions on $K$ endowed with the weak (pointwise) topology. In this paper we discuss the following basic question which seems to be open: Let $K$…

As proved in [16], for a Tychonoff space $X$, a locally convex space $C_{p}(X)$ is distinguished if and only if $X$ is a $\Delta$-space. If there exists a linear continuous surjective mapping $T:C_p(X) \to C_p(Y)$ and $C_p(X)$ is…

Let $X$ be metrizable, $Y$ be perfectly normal and suppose that there exists a uniformly continuous surjection $T: C_{p}(X) \to C_{p}(Y)$ (resp., $T: C_{p}^*(X) \to C_{p}^*(Y)$), where $C_{p}(X)$ (resp., $C_{p}^*(X)$) denotes the space of…

We study the question for which Tychonoff spaces $X$ and locally convex spaces $E$ the space $C_p(X,E)$ of continuous $E$-valued functions on $X$ contains a complemented copy of the space $(c_0)_p=\{x\in\mathbb{R}^\omega\colon x(n)\to0\}$,…

Let $X$ be a zero-dimensional space and $C_c(X)$ be the set of all continuous real valued functions on $X$ with countable image. In this article we denote by $C_c^K(X)$ (resp., $C_{c}^{\psi}(X)$) the set of all functions in $C_c(X)$ with…

We prove that for every finite dimensional compact metric space $X$ there is an open continuous linear surjection from $C_p[0,1]$ onto $C_p(X)$. The proof makes use of embeddings introduced by Kolmogorov and Sternfeld in connection with…

We examine topological spaces not distinguishing ideal pointwise and ideal $\sigma$-uniform convergence of sequences of real-valued continuous functions defined on them. For instance, we introduce a purely combinatorial cardinal…

We show that there are locally compact spaces that can be condensed onto separable spaces but not onto compact separable spaces. We also show that for every cardinal $\kappa$ there is a locally compact topological group of cardinality…

Hurewicz proved completely metrizable Menger spaces are /sigma-compact. We extend this to Cech-complete Menger spaces and consistently to projective Menger metrizable spaces. On the other hand, it is consistent that there is a co-analytic…

In this paper we develop a technique of constructing uni- formly continuous maps between function spaces Cp(X) endowed with the pointwise topology. We prove that if a space X is compact metrizable and strongly countable-dimensional, then…

Answering a question of Sakai, we show that the minimal cardinality of a set of reals X such that C_p(X) does not have the Pytkeev property is equal to the pseudo-intersection number p. Our approach leads to a natural characterization of…

For a Tychonoff space $X$ and a family $\lambda$ of subsets of $X$, we denote by $C_{\lambda}(X)$ the space of all real-valued continuous functions on $X$ with the set-open topology. In this paper, we study the Menger and projective Menger…

For a compact space $K$ we denote by $C_w(K)$ ($C_p(K)$) the space of continuous real-valued functions on $K$ endowed with the weak (pointwise) topology. In this paper we address the following basic question which seems to be open: Suppose…

This paper studies the C-compact-open topology on the set C(X) of all realvalued continuous functions on a Tychonov space X and compares this topology with several well-known and lesser known topologies. We investigate the properties…

Let $(M,F)$ be a $C^\infty$ Finsler manifold, $p\geq 1$ a real number, $k$ a positive integer and $H_k^p (M)$ a certain Sobolev space determined by a Finsler structure $F$. Here, it is shown that the set of all real $C^{\infty}$ functions…

We prove that many completeness properties coincide in metric spaces, precompact groups and dense subgroups of products of separable metric groups. We apply these results to function spaces C_p(X,G) of G-valued continuous functions on a…

We denote by C_p(X,G) the group of all continuous functions from a space X to a topological group G endowed with the topology of pointwise convergence. We say that spaces X and Y are G-equivalent provided that the topological groups…

We construct, for $p>n$, a concrete example of a complete non-compact $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold of positive sectional curvature which does not support any $L^p$-Calder\'on-Zygmund inequality: \[ \forall\,\varphi\in…
