A space $X$ has countable $(F)$-property if it has countable point network satisfying the Collins-Roscoe structuring mechanism. Some sufficient conditions for $C_p(X)$ having countable $(F)$-property are obtained. As a corollary, we prove…
It is known that $C(X)$ is algebraically closed if $X$ is a locally connected, hereditarily unicoherent compact Hausdorff space. For such spaces, we prove that if $F:C(X) \to C(X)$ is given by an everywhere convergent power series with…
We study countable saturation of the metric reduced products and introduce continuous fields of metric models indexed by locally compact, separable, completely metrizable spaces. Saturation of the reduced product depends both on the…
The Hausdorff-Alexandroff Theorem states that any compact metric space is the continuous image of Cantor's ternary set $C$. It is well known that there are compact Hausdorff spaces of cardinality equal to that of $C$ that are not continuous…
Hurewicz' characterized the dimension of separable metrizable spaces by means of finite-to-one maps. We investigate whether this characterization also holds in the class of compact F-spaces of weight c. Our main result is that, assuming the…
Nagata conjectured that every $M$-space is homeomorphic to a closed subspace of the product of a countably compact space and a metric space. This conjecture was refuted by Burke and van Douwen, and A. Kato, independently. However, we can…
Assume that X is a metrizable separable space, and each clopen-valued lower semicontinuous multivalued map Phi from X to Q has a continuous selection. Our main result is that in this case, X is a sigma-space. We also derive a partial…
We develop the geometry of Hurwitz continued fractions, a major tool in understanding the approximation properties of complex numbers by ratios of Gaussian integers. Based on a thorough study of the geometric properties of Hurwitz continued…
We show that the Continuum Hypothesis implies that for every $0<d_1\leq d_2<n$ the measure spaces $(\RR^n,\iM_{\iH^{d_1}},\iH^{d_1})$ and $(\RR^n,\iM_{\iH^{d_2}},\iH^{d_2})$ are isomorphic, where $\iH^d$ is $d$-dimensional Hausdorff measure…
Continuous mappings between compact Hausdorff spaces can be studied using homomorphisms between algebraic structures (lattices, Boolean algebras) associated with the spaces. This gives us more tools with which to tackle problems about these…
We prove that if $K$ is a compact space and the space $P(K\times K)$ of regular probability measures on $K\times K$ has countable tightness in its $weak^*$ topology, then $L_1(\mu)$ is separable for every $\mu\in P(K)$. It has been known…
It is a well known open problem if, in ZFC, each compact space with a small diagonal is metrizable. We explore properties of compact spaces with a small diagonal using elementary chains of submodels. We prove that ccc subspaces of such…
In this paper, we show that the existence of certain first-countable compact-like extensions is equivalent to the equality between corresponding cardinal characteristics of the continuum. For instance, $\mathfrak b=\mathfrak s=\mathfrak c$…
Let us call a function $f$ from a space $X$ into a space $Y$ preserving if the image of every compact subspace of $X$ is compact in $Y$ and the image of every connected subspace of $X$ is connected in $Y$. By elementary theorems a…
We construct a compact Hausdorff space $K$ such that the space $P(K)$ of Radon probabiblity measures on $K$ considered with the weak$^*$ topology (induced from the space of continuous functions $C(K)$) is countably tight which is a…
Many classically used function space structures (including the topology of pointwise convergence, the compact-open topology, the Isbell topology and the continuous convergence) are induced by a hyperspace structure counterpart. This scheme…
In this paper, we define a new notion of "freely tracing property by free chains" on $G$-like continua and we prove that a positive topological entropy homeomorphism on a $G$-like continuum admits a Cantor set $Z$ such that every tuple of…
Fedorchuk's fully closed (continuous) maps and resolutions are applied in constructions of non-metrizable higher-dimensional analogues of Anderson, Choquet, and Cook's continua. Certain theorems on dimension-lowering maps are proved for…
We show (in ZFC) that the cardinality of a compact homogeneous space of countable tightness is no more than the size of the continuum.
A topological group G is h-complete if every continuous homomorphic image of G is (Raikov-)complete; we say that G is hereditarily h-complete if every closed subgroup of G is h-complete. In this paper, we establish open-map properties of…
