We construct an appropriate metric on the collection of piecewise $\mathcal C^r$ maps defined on a compact interval. Although this metric space turns out to be not complete, we show that it is indeed a Baire space. As an application, we…

We study the general form of isomorphisms on the algebra of compactly supported complex-valued continuous functions defined on a locally compact Hausdorff space (the proof of which works for the algebra of $C^k-$differentiable functions on…

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…

In these expository notes, intended for students without background in point-set topology, we develop the basic theory of the Stone-Cech compactification without reference to open sets, closed sets, filters, or nets. In particular, this…

For a Tychonoff space $X$ by $C_p(X)$ we denote the space $C(X)$ of continuous real valued functions on $X$ endowed with the pointwise topology. We prove that an infinite compact space $X$ is scattered if and only if every closed…

We prove an implicit function theorem for C^k-maps from arbitrary topological vector spaces over valued fields to Banach spaces (for k at least 2). As a tool, we show the C^k-dependence of fixed points on parameters for suitable families of…

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…

We prove that the category of c-spaces with continuous maps is not cartesian closed. As a corollary the category of locally finitary compact spaces with continuous maps is also not cartesian closed.

For any continuous self-map of a compact metric space, we provide sufficient conditions under which the infinite direct product of the map is $\omega$-chaotic. We also apply the result to obtain some examples of unusual $\omega$-chaotic…

We define and study the free topological vector space $\mathbb{V}(X)$ over a Tychonoff space $X$. We prove that $\mathbb{V}(X)$ is a $k_\omega$-space if and only if $X$ is a $k_\omega$-space. If $X$ is infinite, then $\mathbb{V}(X)$…

We prove that the inclusion of map(X,Y) into map(K(X),K(Y)) is continuous, where K(X) is the space of non-empty compact subsets of X (also known as the hyperspace of compact subsets of X), and both spaces of maps are endowed with the…

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…

We show that the tangle space of a graph, which compactifies it, is a quotient of its Stone-\v{C}ech remainder obtained by contracting the connected components.

In this article, we continue our study of Baire one functions on a topological space $X$, denoted by $B_1(X)$ and extend the well known M. H. Stones's theorem from $C(X)$ to $B_1(X)$. Introducing the structure space of $B_1(X)$, it is…

Let $Y$ be a metrizable space containing at least two points, and let $X$ be a $Y_{\mathcal{I}}$-Tychonoff space for some ideal $\mathcal{I}$ of compact sets of $X$. Denote by $C_{\mathcal{I}}(X,Y)$ the space of continuous functions from…

In [G. Curi, "Exact approximations to Stone-Cech compactification'', Ann. Pure Appl. Logic, 146, 2-3, 2007, pp. 103-123] a characterization is obtained of the locales of which the Stone-Cech compactification can be defined in constructive…

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…

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…

We study the group of automorphisms of certain corona C*-algebras. As a corollary of a more general C*-algebraic result, we show that, under the Continuum Hypothesis, $\beta X\setminus X$ has nontrivial homeomorphisms, whenever $X$ is a…

This is the first of a series of papers which are devoted to a comprehensive theory of maps between orbifolds. In this paper, we define the maps in the more general context of orbispaces, and establish several basic results concerning the…
