The set of all maximal ideals of the ring $\mathcal{M}(X,\mathcal{A})$ of real valued measurable functions on a measurable space $(X,\mathcal{A})$ equipped with the hull-kernel topology is shown to be homeomorphic to the set $\hat{X}$ of…

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…

We associate with the ring $R$ of algebraic integers in a number field a C*-algebra $\cT[R]$. It is an extension of the ring C*-algebra $\cA[R]$ studied previously by the first named author in collaboration with X.Li. In contrast to…

A topological space $X$ is Baire if the Baire Category Theorem holds for $X$, i.e., the intersection of any sequence of open dense subsets of $X$ is dense in $X$. One of the interesting problems for the space $B_1(X)$ of all Baire-one…

The reduced ring order (rr-order) is a natural partial order on a reduced ring $R$ given by $r\le_{\text{rr}} s$ if $r^2=rs$. It can be studied algebraically or topologically in rings of the form $\text{C}(X)$. The focus here is on those…

A topological space $X$ is called submaximal if every dense subset of $X$ is open. In this paper, we show that if $\beta X$, the Stone-\v{C}ech compactification of $X$, is a submaximal space, then $X$ is a compact space and hence $\beta…

An example of an infinite regular feebly compact quasitopological group is presented such that all continuous real-valued functions on the group are constant. The example is based on the use of Korovin orbits in $X^G$, where $X$ is a…

In this article, we continue our study of Baire one functions on a topological space $X$, denoted by $B_1(X)$ and extend the well known M. H. Stones's theorem from $C(X)$ to $B_1(X)$. Introducing the structure space of $B_1(X)$, it is…

A complex rational function R, of degree n>1, on a compact Riemann surface M provided with a cyclic order of its q critical values, determines an homogeneous tessellation of the Riemann surface M, whose 2n tiles are topological q-gons with…

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 topological space X, let (RX)s := (RX,Ts) be the cartesian product of |X| copies of the real line R with the topology of the uniform convergence on separable subsets of X. In this article we analyze the subspace C(X) of (RX)s of all…

We construct a consistent example of a topological space $Y=X \cup \{\infty\}$ such that: 1) $Y$ is regular. 2) Every $G_\delta$ subset of $Y$ is open. 3) The point $\infty$ is not isolated, but it is not in the closure of any discrete…

This paper introduces the ring of all real valued Baire one functions, denoted by $B_1(X)$ and also the ring of all real valued bounded Baire one functions, denoted by $B_1^*(X)$. Though the resemblance between $C(X)$ and $B_1(X)$ is the…

We introduce the strong Gelfand-Phillips property for locally convex spaces and give several characterizations of this property. We characterize the strong Gelfand-Phillips property among locally convex spaces admitting a stronger Banach…

Let X be a Tychonoff space and MC(X) be the space of convex minimal usco maps with values in R, the space of real numbers. Such set-valued maps are important in the study of subdifferentials of convex functions. Using the strong Choquet…

Let $\Gamma$ be a rectifiable Jordan curve, let $X$ and $Y$ be two reflexive Banach function spaces over $\Gamma$ such that the Cauchy singular integral operator $S$ is bounded on each of them, and let $M(X,Y)$ denote the space of pointwise…

One of the fundamental problem in rings of continuous function is to extract those spaces for which C(X) determines X, that is to investigate X and Y such that C(X) isomorphic with C(Y ) implies X homeomorphic with Y . The development…

We investigate connections between resolvability and different forms of tightness. This study is adjacent to [1,2]. We construct a non-regular refinement $\tau^*$ of the natural topology of the real line $\mathbb{R}$ with properties such…
