Given a property $P$ of subspaces of a $T_1$ space $X$, we say that $X$ is {\em $P$-bounded} iff every subspace of $X$ with property $P$ has compact closure in $X$. Here we study $P$-bounded spaces for the properties $P \in \{\omega D,…

For each countable ordinal $\alpha$, we introduce an ideal $conv_\alpha$ and use it to characterize the class of all compact countable spaces which are homeomorphic to the space $\omega^{\alpha}\cdot n+1$ with the order topology. The…

Given a compact metric space $X$, we associate to it an inverse sequence of finite $T_0$ topological spaces. The inverse limit of this inverse sequence contains a homeomorphic copy of $X$ that is a strong deformation retract. We provide a…

We show that all finite powers of a Hausdorff space X do not contain uncountable weakly separated subspaces iff there is a c.c.c poset P such that 1_P forces that ``X is a countable union of 0-dimensional subspaces of countable weight.'' We…

Given a compact Polish space $E$ and the hyperspace of its compact subsets $\mathcal{K}(E)$, we consider the class of $G_{\delta}$ $\sigma$-ideals of compact subsets of $E$ that can be represented via a compact subset of $\mathcal{K}(E)$.…

We investigate some basic descriptive set theory for countably based completely quasi-metrizable topological spaces, which we refer to as quasi-Polish spaces. These spaces naturally generalize much of the classical descriptive set theory of…

We prove that under [CH], finite compactifications of $\omega^* \setminus \{x\}$ are homeomorphic to $\omega^*$. Moreover, in each case, the remainder consists almost exclusively of $P$-points, apart from possibly one point. Similar results…

We prove that each non-separable completely metrizable convex subset of a Frechet space is homeomorphic to a Hilbert space. This resolves an old (more than 30 years) problem of infinite-dimensional topology. Combined with the topological…

We introduce the notion of an R-group of which the clas- sical groups R, Z and R_+ are typical examples, and we study flows (X;H), where X is a locally compact space and H is a continuous R- group action on X with the further property that…

Let $\Ps(\N)$ be the set of all finite subsets of $\N$, endowed with the product topology. A description of the compact subsets of $\Ps(\N)$ is given. Two applications of this result to Banach space theory are shown : (1) a characterization…

In this paper, we prove the following version of the famous Bernstein's theorem: Let $X\subset \mathbb R^{n+k}$ be a closed and connected set with Hausdorff dimension $n$. Assume that $X$ satisfies the monotonicity formula at $p\in X$.…

Hurewicz' characterized the dimension of separable metrizable spaces by means of finite-to-one maps. We investigate whether this characterization also holds in the class of compact F-spaces of weight c. Our main result is that, assuming the…

We study the completeness and ultracompleteness numbers of a convergence space. In the case of a completely regular topological space, the completeness number is countable if and only if the space is $\v{C}$ech-complete, and the…

For $M$ a compact Riemannian manifold Brandenbursky and Marcinkowski constructed a transfer map $H_b^*(\pi_1(M))\to H_b^*(Homeo_{vol,0}(M))$ and used it to show that for certain $M$ the space $\overline{EH}_b^3(Homeo_{vol,0}(M))$ is…

In this paper we study the polynomial entropy of homeomorphism on compact metric space. We construct a homeomorphism on a compact metric space with vanishing polynomial entropy that it is not equicontinuous. Also we give examples with…

Homogeneous countably compact spaces $X$ and $Y$ whose product $X\times Y$ is not pseudocompact are constructed. It is proved that all compact subsets of homogeneous subspaces of the third power of an extremally disconnected space are…

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…

We consider the isometry group of the infinite dimensional separable hyperbolic space with its Polish topology. This topology is given by the pointwise convergence. For non-locally compact Polish groups, some striking phenomena like…

In this paper we consider the hyperspace $C_{n}(X)$ of non-empty and closed subsets of a base space $X$ with up to $n$ connected components. We consider a class of base spaces called finite ray-graphs, which are a noncompact variation on…

Many classically used function space structures (including the topology of pointwise convergence, the compact-open topology, the Isbell topology and the continuous convergence) are induced by a hyperspace structure counterpart. This scheme…
