On pairwise Lindelöf bitopological spaces

In this paper, we shall continue the study of bitopological separation axioms begun by Kelly and obtained some results. Furthermore, we introduce two concepts of pairwise Lindelöf bitopological spaces and the properties for them are established. We also show that a pairwise Lindelöf space is not hereditary property.     

Variations on selective separability in non-regular spaces

We study various variations on selective separability in non-regular topological spaces. We use the notions of θ-closure and θ-density to define selective versions of θ-separability. These properties are also related to topological games.     

Selective separability and its variations

A space X is said to be selectively separable (=M-separable) if for each sequence {Dn:n∈ω} of dense subsets of X, there are finite sets Fn⊂Dn (n∈ω) such that ?{Fn:n∈ω} is dense in X. On selective separability and its variations, we show the following: (1) Selective separability, R-separability and GN-separability are preserved under finite unions; (2) Assuming CH (the continuum hypothesis), there is a countable regular maximal R-separable space X such that X² is not selectively separable; (3) c{0,1} has a selectively separable, countable and dense subset S such that the group generated by S is not selectively separable. These answer some questions posed in Bella et al. (2008) [7].     

Variations of selective separability

A space X is selectively separable if for every sequence of dense subspaces of X one can select finite Fn⊂Dn so that is dense in X. In this paper selective separability and variations of this property are considered in two special cases: Cp spaces and dense countable subspaces in κ².     

Weaker forms of the Menger property in bitopological spaces

Abstract

In this paper we continue previous investigations on the weaker forms of the Menger property in bitopological spaces. We introduce weakly Menger property and study some topological properties of almost and weakly Menger bitopological spaces. We also consider the almost Hurewicz spaces in a bitopological context.     

Lebesgue and co-Lebesgue di-uniform texture spaces

The author introduces the notions of Lebesgue di-uniformity and co Lebesgue di-uniformity and investigates the relationship between a Lebesgue quasi uniformity on X and the corresponding Lebesgue di-uniformity on the discrete texture (X,P(X)). Finally a notion of a dual dicovering Lebesgue quasi di-uniform texture space is introduced and several properties are discussed.     

Comparing weak versions of separability

Our aim is to investigate spaces with σ-discrete and meager dense sets, as well as selective versions of these properties. We construct numerous examples to point out the differences between these classes while answering questions of Tkachuk [22], Hutchison [13] and the authors of [7].     

Very I-favorable spaces

We prove that a Hausdorff space X is very I-favorable if and only if X is the almost limit space of a σ-complete inverse system consisting of (not necessarily Hausdorff) second countable spaces and surjective d-open bonding maps. It is also shown that the class of Tychonoff very I-favorable spaces with respect to the co-zero sets coincides with the d-openly generated spaces.     

Dicompleteness and real dicompactness of ditopological texture spaces

The authors consider interrelations between the completeness of certain initial di-uniformities and the real dicompactness of completely biregular bi-T₂ nearly plain ditopological spaces. Completions and real dicompactifications of almost plain spaces are also considered.     

Bead spaces and fixed point theorems

The notion of a bead metric space defined here (see Definition 6) is a nice generalization of that of the uniformly convex normed space. In turn, the idea of a central point for a mapping when combined with the “single central point” property of the bead spaces enables us to obtain strong and elegant extensions of the Browder-Göhde-Kirk fixed point theorem for nonexpansive mappings (see Theorems 14-17). Their proofs are based on a very simple reasoning. We also prove two theorems on continuous selections for metric and Hilbert spaces. They are followed by fixed point theorems of Schauder type. In the final part we obtain a result on nonempty intersection.     

Fiberwise absolute neighborhood extensors for a class of metrizable spaces

In the paper we study fiberwise absolute neighborhood extensors with respect to some classes of metrizable spaces by means of the local extension properties and the lifting properties of the underlying spaces.     

Trace spaces in a pre-cubical complex

In directed algebraic topology, directed irreversible (d)-paths and spaces consisting of d-paths are studied from a topological and from a categorical point of view. Motivated by models for concurrent computation, we study in this paper spaces of d-paths in a pre-cubical complex. Such paths are equipped with a natural arc length which moreover is shown to be invariant under directed homotopies. D-paths up to reparametrization (called traces) can thus be represented by arc length parametrized d-paths. Under weak additional conditions, it is shown that trace spaces in a pre-cubical complex are separable metric spaces which are locally contractible and locally compact. Moreover, they have the homotopy type of a CW-complex.     

On a core concept of Arhangel'ski?

Arhangel'ski? [A.V. Arhangel'ski?, Locally compact spaces of countable core and Alexandroff compactification, Topology Appl. 154 (2007) 625-634] has introduced a weakening of σ-compactness: having a countable core, for locally compact spaces, and asked when it is equivalent to σ-compactness. We settle several problems related to that paper.     

A selective bitopological version of the Reznichenko property in function spaces

For a Tychonoff space X we consider the compact-open and the topology of pointwise convergence on the set of all continuous real-valued functions, define a selective version of the Reznichenko property connecting the two topologies and characterize it dually via a suitable covering property of the space X.     

On productively Lindelöf spaces

The class of spaces such that their product with every Lindelöf space is Lindelöf is not well-understood. We prove a number of new results concerning such productively Lindelöf spaces with some extra property, mainly assuming the Continuum Hypothesis.     

Measures of weak noncompactness in Banach spaces

Measures of weak noncompactness are formulae that quantify different characterizations of weak compactness in Banach spaces: we deal here with De Blasi's measure ω and the measure of double limits γ inspired by Grothendieck's characterization of weak compactness. Moreover for bounded sets H of a Banach space E we consider the worst distance k(H) of the weak^∗-closure in the bidual of H to E and the worst distance ck(H) of the sets of weak^∗-cluster points in the bidual of sequences in H to E. We prove the inequalities

     

Minimal KC spaces are compact

We show that every KC space (X,τ), such that τ is minimal among the KC topologies on X, must be compact (not necessarily T₂). This solves a long-standing question, first raised by R. Larson in 1973.     

Two results on spaces with a sharp base

Example. There exists a space X with a sharp base and a perfect mapping onto a space Y which does not have a sharp base.     

Small Valdivia compact spaces

We prove a preservation theorem for the class of Valdivia compact spaces, which involves inverse sequences of retractions of a certain kind. Consequently, a compact space of weight?ℵ₁ is Valdivia compact iff it is the limit of an inverse sequence of metric compacta whose bonding maps are retractions. As a corollary, we show that the class of Valdivia compacta of weight?ℵ₁ is preserved both under retractions and under open 0-dimensional images. Finally, we characterize the class of all Valdivia compacta in the language of category theory, which implies that this class is preserved under all continuous weight preserving functors.
