A topological space $X$ is called hereditarily supercompact if each closed subspace of X is supercompact. By a combined result of Bula, Nikiel, Tuncali, Tymchatyn, and Rudin, each monotonically normal compact Hausdorff space is hereditarily…

For a countable ordinal a we denote by C_a the class of separable, reflexive Banach spaces whose Szlenk index and the Szlenk index of their dual are bounded by a. We show that each C_a admits a separable, reflexive universal space. We also…

Let $X$ and $Y$ be topological spaces, let $Z$ be a metric space, and let $f: X\times Y\to Z$ be a mapping. It is shown that when $Y$ has a countable base $\mathcal B$, then under a rather general condition on the set-valued mappings $X\ni…

We show that the space of continuous functions over a compact space X admits an equivalent pointwise-lowersemicontinuous locally uniformly rotund norm whenever X admits a fully closed map onto a compact Y such that C(Y) and the spaces of…

Given a Banach space we consider the $\sigma$-ideal of all of its subsets which are covered by countably many hyperplanes and investigate its standard cardinal characteristics as the additivity, the covering number, the uniformity, the…

We introduce the class of strongly sofic monoids. This class of monoids strictly contains the class of sofic groups and is a proper subclass of the class of sofic monoids. We define and investigate sofic topological entropy for actions of…

It is introduced the concept of a quasi-king space, which is a natural generalisation of a king space. In the realm of suborderable spaces, king spaces are precisely the compact spaces, so are the quasi-king spaces. In contrast, quasi-king…

Assume hat a functionally Hausdorff space $X$ is a continuous image of a \v{C}ech complete space $P$ with Lindel\"of number $l(P)<\mathfrak c$. Then the following conditions are equivalent: (i) every compact subset of $X$ is scattered, (ii)…

In this survey, my aim has been to discuss the use of sequences and countable sets in general topology. In this way I have been led to consider five different classes of topological spaces: first countable spaces, sequential spaces, Frechet…

Let $X$ be a topological vector space of complex-valued sequences and $Y$ be a subset of $X$. We provide conditions for $X \setminus Y \cup \{0\}$ to contain uncountably infinitely many linearly independent dense vector subspaces of $X$. We…

We prove that a closed convex subset of a Banach space is (super-)weakly compact if and only if it is (super)-ergodic. As a consequence we deduce that super weakly compact sets are characterized by the fixed point property for continuous…

A topological space is $Suslin$ ($Lusin$) if it is a continuous (and bijective) image of a Polish space. For a Tychonoff space $X$ let $C_p(X)$, $C_k(X)$ and $C_{{\downarrow}F}(X)$ be the space of continuous real-valued functions on $X$,…

For a compactification $\alpha X$ of a Tychonoff space $X$, the algebra of all functions $f\in C(X)$ that are continuously extendable over $% \alpha X$ is denoted by $C_{\alpha}(X)$. It is shown that, in a model of $\textbf{ZF}$, it may…

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…

We show that a linearly ordered topological space is initially \lambda-compact if and only if it is \lambda-bounded, that is, every set of cardinality $\leq \lambda$ has compact closure. As a consequence, every product of initially…

We prove that if $f\colon X\to Y$ is a closed surjective map between metric spaces such that every fiber $f^{-1}(y)$ belongs to a class of space $\mathrm S$, then there exists an $F_\sigma$-set $A\subset X$ such that $A\in\mathrm S$ and…

If $f$ is a continuous selection for the Vietoris hyperspace $\mathscr{F}(X)$ of the nonempty closed subsets of a space $X$, then the point $f(X)\in X$ is not as arbitrary as it might seem at first glance. In this paper, we will…

Let $X$ be a real or complex Banach space and $T_t:X\to X$ is a power bounded operator (or a $C_0$-semigroup). If there exists a "occasionally" attracting compact subset K (for each x$ in unit ball $\liminf_n \rho(T^n x, K)=0$ then there…

We study long chains of iterated weak* derived sets, that is sets of all weak* limits of bounded nets, of subspaces with the additional property that the penultimate weak* derived set is a proper norm dense subspace of the dual. We extend…

We prove that action of a semigroup T on compact metric space X by continuous selfmaps is strongly proximal if and only if T action on P(X), the space of probability measures on $X$ with weak topology, is strongly proximal. As a consequence…
