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,…

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…

We prove that, for any Hausdorff continuum X, if dim X > 1 then the hyperspace C(X) of subcontinua of X is not a C-space; if dim X = 1 and X is hereditarily indecomposable then dim C(X) = 2 or C(X) is not a C-space. This generalizes results…

We give a general version of Bryc's theorem valid on any topological space and with any algebra $\mathcal{A}$ of real-valued continuous functions separating the points, or any well-separating class. In absence of exponential tightness, and…

We investigate properties of the class of compact spaces on which every regular Borel measure is separable. This class will be referred to as MS. We discuss some closure properties of MS, and show that some simply defined compact spaces,…

We study the Banach algebras ${\rm C}(X, R)$ of continuous functions from a compact Hausdorff topological space $X$ to a Banach ring $R$ whose topology is discrete. We prove that the Berkovich spectrum of ${\rm C}(X, R)$ is homeomorphic to…

We consider the space of real-valued continuously differentiable functions on a compact subset of a euclidean space. We characterize the completeness of this space and prove that the space of restrictions of continuously differentiable…

It is known that for $X$ a nowhere locally compact metric space, the set of bounded continuous, nowhere locally uniformly continuous real-valued functions on $X$ contains a dense $G_\delta$ set in the space $C_b(X)$ of all bounded…

For a Tychonoff space $X$, we will denote by $USC_{p}(X)$ ($B_1(X)$) a set of all real-valued upper semicontinuous functions (a set of all Baire functions of class 1) defined on $X$ endowed with the pointwise convergence topology. In this…

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…

A topological space $X$ is $strongly$ $rigid$ if each non-constant continuous map $f:X\to X$ is the identity map of $X$. A Hausdorff topological space $X$ is called $Brown$ if for any nonempty open sets $U,V\subseteq X$ the intersection…

we prove that if $X$ is a locally compact $\sigma$-compact space then on its quotient, $\gamma(X)$ say, determined by the algebra of all real valued bounded continuous functions on $X$, the quotient topology and the completely regular…

A map $f:X\to Y$ between topological spaces is defined to be {\em scatteredly continuous} if for each subspace $A\subset X$ the restriction $f|A$ has a point of continuity. We show that for a function $f:X\to Y$ from a perfectly paracompact…

We introduce the set-self-Tietze property, an analogue of the self-Tietze property for upper semi-continuous set-valued functions. A topological space $X$ is self-Tietze, if for every closed $A \subseteq X$ and continuous function $f \colon…

Galego and Samuel showed that if $K,L$ are metrizable, compact, Hausdorff spaces, then $C(K)\widehat{\otimes}_\pi C(L)$ is $c_0$-saturated if and only if it is subprojective if and only if $K$ and $L$ are both scattered. We remove the…

The Brouwer fixed point theorem states that the disk $D^n$ has the fixed point property. More generally, by the Lefschetz fixed point theorem any compact ANR with trivial rational homology has the fixed point property. In this note we prove…

A space $X$ is Eberlein-Grothendieck if $X\subset C_p(K)$ for some compact space $K.$ In this paper we address the problem of whether such a space $X$ is $\sigma$-discrete whenever it is scattered. We show that if $w(K)\leq\omega_1$ then…

Let M be the countably infinite metric fan. We show that C_k(M,2) is sequential and contains a closed copy of Arens space S_2. It follows that if X is metrizable but not locally compact, then C_k(X) contains a closed copy of S_2, and hence…

It is known that $C(X)$ is algebraically closed if $X$ is a locally connected, hereditarily unicoherent compact Hausdorff space. For such spaces, we prove that if $F:C(X) \to C(X)$ is given by an everywhere convergent power series with…

The concept of the strong Pytkeev property, recently introduced by Tsaban and Zdomskyy in [32], was successfully applied to the study of the space $C_c(X)$ of all continuous real-valued functions with the compact-open topology on some…
