There is a locally compact Hausdorff space of weight aleph_omega which is linearly Lindelof and not Lindelof. This improves an earlier result, which produced such a space of weight beth_omega.

It is a classical theorem of Alexandroff that a locally compact Hausdorff space has a one-point Hausdorff compactification if and only if it is non-compact. The one-point Hausdorff compactification is indeed obtained by adding the so called…

Inspired by a recent work of Dias and Tall, we show that a compact indestructible space is sequentially compact. We also prove that a Lindelof Hausdorff indestructible space has the finite derived set property and a compact Hausdorff…

Given any compact, Hausdorff space $K$ and $1<p<\infty$, we compute the Szlenk and $w^*$-dentability indices of the spaces $C(K)$ and $L_p(C(K))$. We show that if $K$ is compact, Hausdorff, scattered, $CB(K)$ is the Cantor-Bendixson index…

A space $ X $ is said to be set star-Lindel\"{o}f (resp., set strongly star-Lindel\"{o}f) if for each nonempty subset $ A $ of $ X $ and each collection $ \mathcal{U} $ of open sets in $ X $ such that $ \overline{A} \subseteq \bigcup…

For every nonempty compact convex subset $K$ of a normed linear space a (unique) point $c_K \in K$, called the generalized Chebyshev center, is distinguished. It is shown that $c_K$ is a common fixed point for the isometry group of the…

We show that if $K$ is a compact metrizable space with finitely many accumulation points, then the closed unit ball of $C(K)$ is a plastic metric space, which means that any non-expansive bijection from $B_{C(K)}$ onto itself is in fact an…

The famous Rosenthal-Lacey theorem asserts that for each infinite compact set $K$ the Banach space $C(K)$ admits a quotient which is either a copy of $c$ or $\ell_{2}$. What is the case when the uniform topology of $C(K)$ is replaced by the…

We give a general closing-off argument in Theorem 2.1 from which several corollaries follow, including (1) if $X$ is a locally compact Hausdorff space then $|X|\leq 2^{wL(X)\psi(X)}$, and (2) if $X$ is a locally compact power homogeneous…

According to a folklore characterization of supercompact spaces, a compact Hausdorff space is supercompact if and only if it has a binary closed $k$-network. This characterization suggests to call a topological space $super$ if it has a…

We show that if $X$ is a separable locally compact Hausdorff connected space with fewer than $\mathfrak c$ non-cut points, then $X$ embeds into a dendrite $D\subseteq \mathbb R ^2$, and the set of non-cut points of $X$ is a nowhere dense…

A cardinal lambda is called omega-inaccessible if for all mu < lambda we have mu^omega<lambda. We show that for every omega-inaccessible cardinal lambda there is a CCC (hence cardinality and cofinality preserving) forcing that adds a…

A set is star-shaped if there is a point in the set that can see every other point in the set in the sense that the line-segment connecting the points lies within the set. We show that testing whether a non-empty compact smooth region is…

We study Birkhoff-James orthogonality and its pointwise symmetry in commutative $C^*$ algebras, i.e., the space of all continuous functions defined on a locally compact Hausdorff space that vanish at infinity. We use this characterization…

We prove that the locally convex space $C_{p}(X)$ of continuous real-valued functions on a Tychonoff space $X$ equipped with the topology of pointwise convergence is distinguished if and only if $X$ is a $\Delta$-space in the sense of \cite…

It is common that a Sobolev space defined on $\mathbb{R}^m$ has a non-compact embedding into an $L^p$-space, but it has subspaces for which this embedding becomes compact. There are three well known cases of such subspaces, the Rellich…

If it is consistent that there is a measurable cardinal, then it is consistent that all points g-delta Rothberger spaces have "small" cardinality.

We give a partial solution to a question by Alas, Junqueria and Wilson by proving that under PFA the one-point compactification of a locally compact, discretely generated and countably tight space is also discretely generated. After this,…

A subset of a metric space is a k-distance set if there are exactly k non-zero distances occuring between points. We conjecture that a k-distance set in a d-dimensional Banach space (or Minkowski space), contains at most (k+1)^d points,…

Arhangel'skii proved that if a first countable Hausdorff space is Lindel\"of, then its cardinality is at most $2^{\aleph_0}$. Such a clean upper bound for Lindel\"of spaces in the larger class of spaces whose points are ${\sf G}_{\delta}$…
