The paper is concerned with defining a topology on the set of ideals of codimension d of the algebra C^\infty(M,R) with M being a compact smooth manifold. Its main property is that it is compact Hausdorff and it contains as a subspace the…

Let $X$ be a (topological) space and let ${\mathscr I}$ be an ideal in $X$, that is, a collection of subsets of $X$ which contains all subsets of its elements and is closed under finite unions. The elements of ${\mathscr I}$ are called…

For the set C(X) of real-valued continuous functions on a Tychonoff space X, the compact-open topology on C(X) is a "set-open topology". This paper studies the separation and countability properties of the space C(X) having the topology…

The classical theorems of Banach and Stone, Gelfand and Kolmogorov, and Kaplansky show that a compact Hausdorff space $X$ is uniquely determined by the linear isometric structure, the algebraic structure, and the lattice structure,…

Cembranos and Freniche proved that for every two infinite compact Hausdorff spaces $X$ and $Y$ the Banach space $C(X\times Y)$ of continuous real-valued functions on $X\times Y$ endowed with the supremum norm contains a complemented copy of…

A classical result of Cembranos and Freniche states that the C(K, X) spaces contains a complemented copy of c_0 whenever K is an infinite compact Hausdorff space and X is an infinite dimensional Banach space. This paper takes this result as…

A ring $S(X,\mathcal{A})$ of real valued $\mathcal{A}$-measurable functions defined over a measurable space $(X,\mathcal{A})$ is called a $\chi$-ring if for each $E\in \mathcal{A} $, the characteristic function $\chi_{E}\in…

Let $X$ be a zero-dimensional metric space and $X'$ its derived set. We prove the following assertions: (1) the space $C_k(X,2)$ is an Ascoli space iff $C_k(X,2)$ is $k_\mathbb{R}$-space iff either $X$ is locally compact or $X$ is not…

We study the question of when an uncountable ccc topological space $X$ contains a ccc subspace of size $\aleph_1$. We show that it does if $X$ is compact Hausdorff and more generally if $X$ is Hausdorff with $\mathrm{pct}(X) \leq \aleph_1$.…

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…

For each countable ordinal $\alpha \ge 2$, the ideals $\mathsf{conv}_\alpha$ were introduced in ``Critical ideals for countable compact spaces'' (to appear in Fund. Math., see also arXiv:2503.12571) to characterize compact countable spaces…

In this note we prove several theorems that are related to some results and problems from [6]. We answer two of the main problems that were raised in [6]. First we give a ZFC example of a Hausdorff space in $C(\omega_1)$ that has…

In our paper [18] we showed that a Tychonoff space $X$ is a $\Delta$-space (in the sense of [20], [30]) if and only if the locally convex space $C_{p}(X)$ is distinguished. Continuing this research, we investigate whether the class $\Delta$…

We examine several classical concepts from topology and functional analysis, using methods of commutative algebra. We show that these various concepts are all controlled by BC R-rings and their maximal spectra. A BC R-ring is a ring A that…

Let $C_0(K, X)$ denote the space of all continuous $X$-valued functions defined on the locally compact Hausdorff space $K$ which vanish at infinity, provided with the supremum norm. If $X$ is the scalar field, we denote $C_0(K, X)$ by…

For a free filter $F$ on $\omega$, endow the space $N_F=\omega\cup\{p_F\}$, where $p_F\not\in\omega$, with the topology in which every element of $\omega$ is isolated whereas all open neighborhoods of $p_F$ are of the form $A\cup\{p_F\}$…

We consider the ring of real analytic functions defined on $[0,1]$, i.e. $$C^{\omega}[0,1] =\lbrace f :[0,1] \longrightarrow \mathbb{R} | f \text{ is analytic on } [0,1]\rbrace$$ In this article, we explore the nature of ideals in this…

In this paper, we find necessary and sufficient conditions for countable fan tightness and countable strong fan tightness of the space (briefly, $C_{p}(X,G)$) of all group-valued continuous functions endowed with the topology of pointwise…

We work in set-theory without choice ZF. Denoting by AC(N) the countable axiom of choice, we show in ZF+AC(N) that the closed unit ball of a uniformly convex Banach space is compact in the convex topology (an alternative to the weak…

Let $\cal{P}$ be an open filter base for a filter $\cal{F}$ on $X$. We denote by $C^{\cal{P}}(X)$ ($C_{\infty\cal{P}}(X)$) the set of all functions $f\in C(X)$ where $Z(f)$ ($\{x: |f(x)|< \frac{1}{n}\})$ contains an element of $\cal{P}$.…
