We prove that the locally convex space $C_{p}(X)$ of continuous real-valued functions on a Tychonoff space $X$ equipped with the topology of pointwise convergence is distinguished if and only if $X$ is a $\Delta$-space in the sense of \cite…

A topological space $X$ is defined to have a neighborhood $P$-base at any $x\in X$ from some poset $P$ if there exists a neighborhood base $(U_p[x])_{p\in P}$ at $x$ such that $U_p[x]\subseteq U_{p'}[x]$ for all $p\geq p'$ in $P$. We prove…

A locally convex space (lcs) $E$ is said to have an $\omega^{\omega}$-base if $E$ has a neighborhood base $\{U_{\alpha}:\alpha\in\omega^\omega\}$ at zero such that $U_{\beta}\subseteq U_{\alpha}$ for all $\alpha\leq\beta$. The class of lcs…

Assuming the absence of Q-points (which is consistent with ZFC) we prove that the free topological group $F(X)$ over a Tychonov space $X$ is $o$-bounded if and only if every continuous metrizable image $T$ of $X$ satisfies the selection…

It is proved that the free Boolean topological group $B(X)$ on a Tychonoff space $X$ is Weil complete if and only if the space $X$ is Dieudonn\'e complete. This result provides a positive answer to a question posed by the first listed…

For every Tikhonov space $X$ the free abelian topological group $A(X)$ and the free locally convex vector space $L(X)$ admit a topologically faithful unitary representation. For compact spaces $X$ this is due to Jorge Galindo.

We prove that for a complete quasivariety $K$ of topological $E$-algebras of countable discrete signature $E$ and each submetrizable $ANR(k_\omega)$-space $X$ its free topological $E$-algebra $F_K(X)$ in the class $K$ is a submetrizable…

In our previous paper we systematized several known equivalent definitions of Fr\'echet (G\^ ateaux) Differentiability Spaces and Asplund (weak Asplund) Spaces. As an application, we extended the classical Mazur's theorem, and also proved…

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…

For a Tychonoff space $X$, $B_1(X)$ denotes the space of all Baire-one functions on $X$ endowed with the pointwise topology. We prove that the following assertions are equivalent: (1) $B_1(X)$ is a (semi-)Montel space, (2) $B_1(X)$ is a…

Burzyk, Kli\'{s} and Lipecki proved that every topological vector space (tvs) $E$ with the property $(K)$ is a Baire space. K\c{a}kol and S\'{a}nchez Ruiz proved that every sequentially complete Fr\'{e}chet--Urysohn locally convex space…

Topological properties of the free topological group and the free abelian topological group on a space have been thoroughly studied since the 1940s. In this paper, we study the free topological $\mathbb{R}$-vector space $V(X)$ on $X$. We…

In our paper [18] we showed that a Tychonoff space $X$ is a $\Delta$-space (in the sense of [20], [30]) if and only if the locally convex space $C_{p}(X)$ is distinguished. Continuing this research, we investigate whether the class $\Delta$…

Let $X$ be a locally compact topological space, $(Y,d)$ be a boundedly compact metric space and $LB(X,Y)$ be the space of all locally bounded functions from $X$ to $Y$. We characterize compact sets in $LB(X,Y)$ equipped with the topology of…

A compact topological space X is spectral if it is sober (i.e., every irreducible closed set is the closure of a unique singleton) and the compact open subsets of X form a basis of the topology of X, closed under finite intersections.…

We introduce the property of countable separation for a locally convex Hausdorff space $X$ and relate it to the existence of a metrizable coarser topology. Building on this, we demonstrate how the separability of $X$ is equivalent to the…

A topological space $X$ is cometrizable if it admits a weaker metrizable topology such that each point $x\in X$ has a (not necessarily open) neighborhood base consisting of metrically closed sets. We study the relation of cometrizable…

Our main result states that the hyperspace of convex compact subsets of a compact convex subset $X$ in a locally convex space is an absolute retract if and only if $X$ is an absolute retract of weight $\le\omega_1$. It is also proved that…

A topological space $X$ is Baire if the intersection of any sequence of open dense subsets of $X$ is dense in $X$. Let $C_p(X,[0,1])$ denote the space of all continuous $[0,1]$-valued functions on a Tychonoff space $X$ with the topology of…

A topological space $X$ has the strong Pytkeev property at a point $x\in X$ if there exists a countable family $\mathcal N$ of subsets of $X$ such that for each neighborhood $O_x\subset X$ and subset $A\subset X$ accumulating at $x$, there…
