Connected door spaces and topological solutions of equations

The connected door space is an enigmatic topological space in which every proper nonempty subset is either open or closed, but not both. This paper provides an elementary proof of the classification theorem of connected door spaces. More importantly, we show that connected door topologies can be viewed as solutions of the valuation \(f(A)+f(B)=f(A\cup B)+f(A\cap B)\) and the equation \(f(A)+f(B)=f(A\cup B)\). In addition, some special solutions, which can be regarded as a union of connected door spaces, are provided.     

Infinite distributive laws versus local connectedness and compactness properties

Various local connectedness and compactness properties of topological spaces are characterized by higher degrees of distributivity for their lattices of open (or closed) sets, and conversely. For example, those topological spaces for which not only the lattice of open sets but also that of closed sets is a frame, are described by the existence of web neighborhood bases, where webs are certain specific path-connected sets. Such spaces are called web spaces. The even better linked wide web spaces are characterized by F-distributivity of their topologies, and the worldwide web spaces (or C-spaces) by complete distributivity of their topologies. Similarly, strongly locally connected spaces and locally hypercompact spaces are characterized by suitable infinite distributive laws. The web space concepts are also viewed as natural extensions of spaces that are semilattices with respect to the specialization order and have continuous (unary, binary or infinitary) semilattice operations.     

Hyperelliptic components of the moduli spaces of quadratic differentials with prescribed singularities

Moduli spaces of quadratic differentials with prescribed singularities are not necessarily connected. We describe here all cases when they have a special hyperelliptic connected component. We announce the general classification theorem: up to the four exceptional cases in low dimensional stratum, any stratum of meromorphic quadratic differentials is either connected, or has exactly two connected components. In this last case, one component is hyperelliptic, the other not.     

Decomposition of spaces with geodesics contained in compact flats

We prove a decomposition result for analytic spaces all of whose geodesics are contained in compact flats. Namely, we prove that a Riemannian manifold is such a space if and only if it admits a (finite) cover which splits as the product of a flat torus with simply connected factors which are either symmetric (of the compact type) or spaces of closed geodesics.

     

cut* 空间的拓扑性质

该文引入了 cut^*空间的概念,所谓的 cut^*空间是指去掉任意一点连通,去掉任意两点不连通的连通空间.通过对其性质的讨论,得到如下主要结论: 首先得到cut^*空间中每个点非开即闭,并且cut^*空间中有无限多个闭点;其次讨论了一类特殊的 cut^*空间,即去掉一点是COTS的 cut^* 空间.指出``$X$是 cut^*空间,任意 $x\inX,X\setminus\{x\}$是不可约cut空间'这样的空间类是不存在的.在文章的最后,讨论了去掉一点是LOTS的 cut^*空间的覆盖性质,得到这样的空间是紧空间或Lindel\"of空间的结论.     

On metric spaces and local extrema

The main aim of this paper is to give a positive answer to a question of Behrends, Geschke and Natkaniec regarding the existence of a connected metric space and a non-constant real-valued continuous function on it for which every point is a local extremum. Moreover we show that real-valued continuous functions on connected spaces such that every family of pairwise disjoint non-empty open sets is of size <|R| are constant provided that every point is a local extremum.     

Brush spaces and the fixed point property

We introduce the notions of a brush space and a weak brush space. Each of these spaces has a compact connected core with attached connected fibers and may be either compact or non-compact. Many spaces, both in the Hausdorff non-metrizable setting and in the metric setting, have realizations as (weak) brush spaces. We show that these spaces have the fixed point property if and only if subspaces with core and finitely many fibers have the fixed point property. This result generalizes the fixed point result for generalized Alexandroff/Urysohn Squares in Hagopian and Marsh (2010) [4]. We also look at some familiar examples, with and without the fixed point property, from Bing (1969) [1], Connell (1959) [3], Knill (1967) [7] and note the brush space structures related to these examples.     

S-continuous functions and certain weak forms of regularity and complete regularity

A topological space is called s-regular if each closed connected set and a point outside it are separated by disjoint open sets. Similarly notion of complete s-regularity is introduced; basic properties of s-regular spaces and completely s-regular spaces are studied and interrelations between them and the standard separation axioms are observed. It is shown that in the class of semilocally connected spaces s-regularity coincides with regularity and complete s-regularity coincides with complete regularity. Moreover, properties of s-continuous functions are studied and it is shown that s-regularity and completely s-regularity are preserved under certain s-continuous mappings.     

Estimates for the Poisson kernel and Hardy spaces on compact manifolds

We study Hardy spaces on the boundary of a smooth open subset or Rn and prove that they can be defined either through the intrinsic maximal function or through Poisson integrals, yielding identical spaces. This extends to any smooth open subset of Rn results already known for the unit ball. As an application, a characterization of the weak boundary values of functions that belong to holomorphic Hardy spaces is given, which implies an F. and M. Riesz type theorem.

When do connected spaces have nice connected preimages?

We prove that every connected Tychonoff space is an open monotone continuous image of a connected strictly -discrete left-separated Tychonoff space. For wide classes of connected spaces it is established that they have a finer Hausdorff strictly -discrete connected topology. Another result is that a finer Tychonoff connected strictly -discrete topology exists for any Tychonoff topology with a countable network. We show that there are Tychonoff connected spaces with countable network which are not continuous images of connected second countable spaces. It is established also that every connected Tychonoff space is an open retract of a connected homogeneous Tychonoff space, while it is not always possible to find a finer connected homogeneous topology on .

     

Local connectivity functions on arcwise connected spaces and certain continua

Types of spaces are given on which every local connectivity function is a connectivity function, a connected function, or a Darboux function. A complete determination such spaces is obtained when the spaces are assumed to be arc-like continua or circle-like continua. Results provide answers to a question asked by Stallings.     

Average Approximations and Moments of Measures

We investigate average approximations of infinite dimensional mappings and related problems connected with moments of measures on linear spaces. A conjecture stated by J. F. Traub and A. G. Werschulz (1994, Math. Intelligencer16, 42–48) is settled. Several positive results concerning average approximations of Banach space valued mappings are obtained. Some related open problems are discussed.     

A construction of classifying spaces for p-adic group actions

One major open problem in geometric topology is the Hilbert-Smith conjecture. A natural approach to this conjecture is to work on classifying spaces of p-adic integers. However, the well-known Milnor's construction of classifying space of p-adic integers is not locally connected, hence will not help to solve the conjecture, and the other known constructions are very complex. The goal of this paper is to give a new construction of classifying spaces for p-adic group actions.     

Some remarks on b-paracompact spaces

A condition is found which is satisfied by a perfect normal image of a b-paracompact space. It is proved that a connected locally connected b-paracompact space, each of whose points has a fundamental system of neighborhoods with boundaries satisfying the Souslin condition, is Lindelöf. An example is constructed of a locally compact b-paracompact Hausdorff space having an open covering which cannot be refined by an open covering not containing infinitely many antidisjunctive families. The questions are considered of the imbedding of weakly paracompact and b-paracompact spaces in certain of their compactifications.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 22, No. 4, pp. 485–494, October, 1977.     

Property C. Wallman basis and S-metrizability

In this present paper we prove that every Lindelof space which has a perfect locally connected Hausdorff compactification, has property C. (This latter concept was introduced by R.F. Dickman Jr). We make clear that this class of Lindelöf spaces properly contains the class of paracompact, connected, locally compact and locally connected spaces, as well as the class of those spaces whose topology can be induced by a metric with property S (or S-metrizable spaces). In this fashion, we simultaneously generalize two previous results of Dickman on spaces with property C. The use of Wallman basis with certain connectedness properties turns out to be a very convenient tool in the construction of locally connected compactifications as well as in characterizing S-metrizable spaces.     

Preference orders and continuous representations

In this paper we prove some general theorems on the existence of continuous order-preserving functions on topological spaces with a continuous preorder. We use the concepts of network and netweight to prove new continuous representation theorems and we establish our main results for topological spaces that are countable unions of subspaces. Some results in the literature on path-connected, locally connected and separably connected spaces are shown to be consequences of the general theorems proved in the paper. Finally, we prove a continuous representation theorem for hereditarily separable spaces.     

Translation Lengths of Parabolic Isometries of CAT(0) Spaces and Their Applications

In this article, we provide a sufficient and necessary condition on parabolic isometries of positive translation lengths on complete visibility CAT(0) spaces. One of the consequences is that each parabolic isometry of a complete simply connected visibility manifold of nonpositive sectional curvature has zero translation length. Applications on the geometry of open negatively curved manifolds will also be discussed.     

Cartesian-closed coreflective subcategories of uniform spaces generated by classes of metric spaces

The main result, in Theorem 3, is that in the category Unif of Hausdorff uniform spaces and uniformly continuous maps, the coreflective hulls of the following classes are cartesian-closed: all metric spaces having no infinite uniform partition, all connected metric spaces, all bounded metric spaces, and all injective metric spaces.Furthermore, Theorems 1 and 4 imply that if $\text{C}$ is any coreflective, cartesian-closed subcategory of Unif in which enough function space structures are finer than the uniformity of uniform convergence (as in the above examples), then either (1) $\text{C}$ is a subclass of the locally fine spaces, or (2) $\text{C}$ contains all injective metric spaces and $\text{C}$ is a subclass of the coreflective hull of all uniform spaces having no infinite uniform partition.
