Let $X$ be a Hausdorff compact space and $C(X)$ be the algebra of all continuous complex-valued functions on $X$, endowed with the supremum norm. We say that $C(X)$ is (approximately) $n$-th root closed if any function from $C(X)$ is…

This is a paper that aims to interpret the cardinality of a set in terms of Baire Category, i.e. how many closed nowhere dense sets can be deleted from a set before the set itself becomes negligible. . To do this natural tree-theoretic…

We prove several reflection theorems on $D$-spaces, which are Hausdorff topological spaces $X$ in which for every open neighbourhood assignment $U$ there is a closed discrete subspace $D$ such that \[ \bigcup\{U(x): x\in D\}=X. \] The…

The symbol $\mathcal{S}(X)$ denotes the hyperspace of finite unions of convergent sequences in a Hausdorff space $X$. This hyperspace is endowed with the Vietoris topology. First of all, we give a characterization of convergent sequence in…

A topological space $X$ is a $\Delta$-space (or $X \in \Delta$) if for any decreasing sequence $\{A_n : n < \omega\}$ of subsets of $X$ with empty intersection there is a (decreasing) sequence $\{U_n : n < \omega\}$ of open sets with empty…

For a topological space $X$ its reflection in a class $\mathsf T$ of topological spaces is a pair $(\mathsf T X,i_X)$ consisting of a space $\mathsf T X\in\mathsf T$ and continuous map $i_X:X\to \mathsf T X$ such that for any continuous map…

A space $X$ is said to be $\kappa$-resolvable (resp. almost $\kappa$-resolvable) if it contains $\kappa$ dense sets that are pairwise disjoint (resp. almost disjoint over the ideal of nowhere dense subsets). $X$ is maximally resolvable iff…

Let $\kappa$ be an infinite cardinal. A topological space $X$ is $\kappa$-bounded if the closure of any subset of cardinality $\le\kappa$ in $X$ is compact. We discuss the problem of embeddability of topological spaces into Hausdorff…

Let X be a topological space. The closure of \Delta = {(x, x) : x \in X} in X \times X is a symmetric relation on X. We characterise those equivalence relations on an infinite set that arise as the closure of the diagonal with respect to a…

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…

Let X be a h-homogeneous zero-dimensional compact Hausdorff space, i.e. X is a Stone dual of a homogeneous Boolean algebra. It is shown that the universal minimal space M(G) of the topological group G=Homeo(X), is the space of maximal…

Let $X$ be a compact metric space and let $|A|$ denote the cardinality of a set $A$. We prove that if $f\colon X\to X$ is a homeomorphism and $|X|=\infty$ then for all $\delta>0$ there is $A\subset X$ such that $|A|=4$ and for all $k\in Z$…

A topological space $X$ is strongly $D$ if for any neighbourhood assignment $\{U_x:x\in X\}$, there is a $D\subseteq X$ such that $\{U_x:x\in D\}$ covers $X$ and $D$ is locally finite in the topology generated by $\{U_x:x\in X\}$. We prove…

We use recent developments in local entropy theory to prove that chaos in dynamical systems implies the existence of complicated structure in the underlying space. Earlier Mouron proved that if $X$ is an arc-like continuum which admits a…

The aim of this paper is to introduce a new weak separation axiom that generalizes the separation properties between $T_1$ and completely Hausdorff. We call a topological space $(X,\tau)$ a $T_{\kappa,\xi}$-space if every compact subset of…

In this paper we obtain new results regarding the chain conditions in the Pixley-Roy hyperspaces $\mathscr{F}[X]$. For example, if $c(X)$ and $R(X)$ denote the cellularity and weak separation number of $X$ (see Section~[4]) and we define…

It is well known that every (real or complex) normed linear space $L$ is isometrically embeddable into $C(X)$ for some compact Hausdorff space $X$. Here $X$ is the closed unit ball of $L^*$ (the set of all continuous scalar-valued linear…

We prove that, for every cardinal number $\alpha\geq {\mathfrak c}$, there exists a metrizable space $X$ with $|X|=\alpha$ such that for every pair of quasiorders $\leq_1$, $\leq_2$ on a set $Q$ with $|Q| \leq \alpha$ satisfying the…

A topology on a nonempty set $X$ specifies a natural subset of $\mathcal{P}(X)$. By identifying $\mathcal{P}(\mathcal{P}(X))$ with the totally disconnected compact Hausdorff space $2^{\mathcal{P}(X)}$, the lattice $Top(X)$ of all topologies…
