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…

$C_p(X)$ denotes the space of continuous real-valued functions on a Tychonoff space $X$ endowed with the topology of pointwise convergence. A Banach space $E$ equipped with the weak topology is denoted by $E_{w}$. It is unknown whether…

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…

We prove that every point-finite family of nonempty functionally open sets in a topological space $X$ has the cardinality at most an infinite cardinal $\kappa$ if and only if $w(X)\leq\kappa$ for every Valdivia compact space $Y\subseteq…

We give an example of an infinite metrizable space $X$ such that the space $C_p(X)$, of continuous real-valued function on $X$ endowed with the pointwise topology, is not homeomorphic to its own square $C_p(X)\times C_p(X)$. The space $X$…

We show that if $C_p(X\times Z)$ is homeomorphic to $C_p(Y\times Z)$, where $Z$ is compact, and $X$ and $Y$ are of countable netweight, then $C_p(X\times M)$ is homeomorphic to $C_p(Y\times M)$ for some metric compactum $M$.

For a completely regular space $X$, denote by $C_p(X)$ the space of continuous real-valued functions on $X$, with the pointwise convergence topology. In this article we strengthen a theorem of O. Okunev concerning preservation of some…

We prove that every infinite-dimensional (locally convex) linear topological space that can be expressed as a direct limit of finite-dimensional metrizable compacta is (linearly) homeomorphic to the space $R^\infty=\dlim R^n$.

We prove that for each Polish space X, the space C(X) of continuous real-valued functions on X satisfies a strong version of the Pytkeev property, if endowed with the compact-open topology. (This shows that whereas it need not be…

Let $\Gamma$ be a Polish space and let $K$ be a separable and pointwise compact set of real-valued functions on $\Gamma$. It is shown that if each function in $K$ has only countably many discontinuities then $C(K)$ may be equipped with a…

In this paper the weak topology on a normed space is studied from the viewpoint of infinite-dimensional topology. Besides the weak topology on a normed space $X$ (coinciding with the topology of uniform convergence on finite subsets of the…

A dual pair formulation for asymmetric locally convex spaces is developed that strictly generalises the ordinary vector space setting. The concept of a polar topology carries over to the asymmetric case and some familiar results are…

For an index set $\Gamma$ and a cardinal number $\kappa$ the $\Sigma_{\kappa}$-product of real lines $\Sigma_{\kappa}(\mathbb{R}^{\Gamma})$ consist of all elements of $\mathbb{R}^{\Gamma}$ with $<\kappa$ nonzero coordinates. A compact space…

We show that it is consistent that for some uncountable cardinal k, all compactifications of the countable discrete space with remainders homeomorphic to $D^k$ are homeomorphic to each other. On the other hand, there are $2^c$ pairwise…

We study the classification of spaces of continuous functions $C(K)$ under positive linear maps. For infinite countable compacta, we show that whenever $C(K)$ and $C(L)$ are isomorphic, there exists an isomorphism $T:C(K)\to C(L)$…

Given $1<p<N$ and two measurable functions $V(r)\geq 0$ and $K(r)>0$, $r>0$, we define the weighted spaces \[ W=\left\{ u\in D^{1,p}(\mathbb{R}^N):\int_{\mathbb{R}^N}V\left(\left|x\right|\right) \left|u\right|^p dx<\infty \right\} , \quad…

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…

Given a compact space $K$, we denote by $P(K)$ the space of all Radon probability measures on $K$, equipped with the $weak^\ast$ topology inherited from $C(K)^\ast$. For nonmetrizable compacta $K$ even basic properties of $P(K)$ spaces…
