The property of countable metacompactness of a topological space gets its importance from Dowker's 1951 theorem that the product of a normal space X with the unit interval is again normal iff X is countably metacompact. In a recent paper,…

Let $T''(X)$ and $T'(X)$ denote the collections of all real-valued functions on $X$ which are continuous on a dense cozero set and on an open dense subset of $X$ respectively. $T''(X)$ contains $C(X)$ and forms a subring of $T'(X)$ under…

Two separated realcompact measurable spaces $(X,\mathcal{A})$ and $(Y,\mathcal{B})$ are shown to be isomorphic if and only if the rings $\mathcal{M}(X,\mathcal{A})$ and $\mathcal{M}(Y,\mathcal{B})$ of all real valued measurable functions…

In a previous paper the second author introduced a compact topology on the space of closed ideals of a unital Banach algebra A. If A is separable then this topology is either metrizable or else neither Hausdorff nor first countable. Here it…

The problem of characterizing normed ordered spaces which admit a representation in the algebraic, order and norm sense as a subspace of $C(X)$, the space of all continuous functions on a compact Hausdorff space is a classical problem that…

By a characterization of semiprime $SA$-rings by Birkenmeier, Ghirati and Taherifar in \cite[Theorem 4.4]{B}, and by the topological characterization of $C(X)$ as a Baer-ring by Stone and Nakano in \cite[Theorem 3.25]{KM}, it is easy to see…

Our aim is to study certain algebraic properties of the ring $C(X)_\mathcal{P}$ of real-valued functions on $X$ whose closure of discontinuity set is in an ideal of closed sets. We characterize $\mathcal{P}P$-spaces using $z$-ideals and…

In this paper, two outwardly different graphs, namely, the zero divisor graph $\Gamma(C_c(X))$ and the comaximal graph $\Gamma_2^{'}(C_c(X))$ of the ring $C_c(X)$ of all real-valued continuous functions having countable range, defined on…

For a Tychonoff space $X$, we denote by $C_k(X)$ the space of all real-valued continuous functions on X with the compact-open topology. In this paper, we have gave characterization for $C_k(X)$ to satisfy $S_{fin}(S, S)$.

Let $\Sigma (X,\mathbb{C})$ denote the collection of all the rings between $C^*(X,\mathbb{C})$ and $C(X,\mathbb{C})$. We show that there is a natural correlation between the absolutely convex ideals/ prime ideals/maximal…

In this paper we introduce and study the concept of countable strongly annihilated ideal in commutative rings, in particular in rings of continuous functions. We show that a maximal ideal in $C(X)$ is countable strongly annihilated if and…

Let X be a compact Hausdorf space, let A be a commutative unital Banach algebra, and let C(X,A) denote the algebra of continuous A-valued functions on $X$ equipped with the uniform norm ||f||=sup{||f(x)||:x\in X} for all f in C(X,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…

The ring operations and the metric on $C(X)$ are extended to the set $\mathbb{H}_{nf}(X)$ of all nearly finite Hausdorff continuous interval valued functions and it is shown that $\mathbb{H}_{nf}(X)$ is both rationally and topologically…

In this paper, some features of countably $\alpha$-compact topological spaces are presented and proven. The connection between countably $\alpha$% -compact, Tychonoff, and $\alpha$-Hausdorff spaces is explained. The space is countably…

In this paper, we study some properties of the ring $C(X)_F$ of all real valued functions which are continuous except on some finite subsets of $X$. We show that $C(X)_F$ is closed under uniform limit if and only if the set of all…

The main result of this paper is that, under PFA, for every {\em regular} space $X$ with $F(X) = \omega$ we have $|X| \le w(X)^\omega$; in particular, $w(X) \le \mathfrak{c}$ implies $|X| \le \mathfrak{c}$. This complements numerous prior…

We prove a commutative Gelfand--Naimark type theorem, by showing that the set $C_s(X)$ of continuous bounded (real or complex valued) functions with separable support on a locally separable metrizable space $X$ (provided with the supremum…

For any ideal $\mathcal{P}$ of closed sets in $X$, let $C_\mathcal{P}(X)$ be the family of those functions in $C(X)$ whose support lie on $\mathcal{P}$. Further let $C^\mathcal{P}_\infty(X)$ contain precisely those functions $f$ in $C(X)$…

For a Tychonoff space $X$ by $C_p(X)$ we denote the space $C(X)$ of continuous real valued functions on $X$ endowed with the pointwise topology. We prove that an infinite compact space $X$ is scattered if and only if every closed…
