Descriptions of equivalence of O-connectivity

We first study some properties of the subspace, and investigate into the relationship of separation between a fuzzy topological space (fts) and its subspace. Then we obtain the equivalence conditions for O-connectivity. The results on O-connectivity and separation are very similar to those in general topology. Finally we discuss the relationship of connectivity between an O-connected set A in the fts (X, ω ($\text{T}$)) induced by the crisp topological space (X, $\text{T}$) and the crisp set A₀ (=supp A) in (X, $\text{T}$).     

A Van Kampen theorem for π2

If the path connected topological space X has a countable open cover $\text{U}$ with path connected elements, then π₂(X,1) is computed as a colimit determined by the second homotopy groups of the intersection of elements of $\text{U}$ and the indices of the fundamental group injections of these intersections into the fundamental group of X. Aside from assuming that the inclusions induce such monomorphisms, certain other inclusions are also required to induce monomorphisms of fundamental groups and restrictions are placed on the arrangement of the elements of $\text{U}$.     

Characterization of the closed convex hull of the range of a vector-valued measure

For a set K in a locally convex topological vector space X there exists a set T, a σ-algebra $\text{S}$ of subsets of T and a σ-additive measure m: $\text{S}$ → X such that K is the closed convex hull of the range {m(E): E ∈ $\text{S}$} of the measure m if and only if there exists a conical measure u on X so that K K_u,K_u, the set of resultants of all conical measures v on X such that v < u.     

A transfer spectral sequence for fixed point free involutions with an application to stunted real projective spaces

We show that if X is a finite CW-complex admitting a fixed point free involution then there is a singly graded spectral sequence with $\text{E}{}^1{}_1\text{? H}{}^1\text{(X;}\text{Z}{}_2\text{)}$ and $\text{E}{}^1\text{∞ = 0}$. As an application we prove that for any n > 0 there is a natural number k(n) such that if n > k(n) and X is a homotopy $\text{R}\text{P}{}^{\mathrm{n+k}}\text{R}\text{P}{}^{\mathrm{n}}$, then X will not admit a fixed point free involution.     

Analytic functions whose range is dense in a ball

Denote by Δ(resp. $\text{Δ}$) the open (resp. closed) unit disc in C. Let E be a closed subset of the unit circle T and let F be a relatively closed subset of T ? E of Lesbesgue measure zero. The following result is proved. Given a complex Banach space X and a bounded continuous function f:F → X, there exists an extension f? of f, bounded and continuous on $\text{}\text{?}\text{gD ? E}$, analytic on Δ and satisfying sup$\text{{6}\text{f}\text{?}\text{(z)6:zε}\text{δ}\text{?E}$. This is applied to show that for any separable complex Banach space X there exists an analytic function from Δ to X whose range is contained and dense in the unit ball of X.     

Some generic properties of α-nonexpansive mappings

Let X be a Banach space, C a bounded closed subset of X, A a convex closed subset of X, $\text{E}$ a complete metric space formed by all α-nonexpansive mappings fC → A and $\text{M}$ a complete metric space formed by α-nonexpansive differentiable mappings fC → X. The following assertions are proved in this paper: (1) Properness of I ? f is a generic property in $\text{E}$ (2)the subset of $\text{E}$ formed by all α-contractive mappings is of Baire first category in $\text{E}$; and (3) for every y?X, the functional equation x ? f(x) = y has generically a finite number of solutions for f in $\text{M}$. Some applications to the fixed point theory and calculation of the topological degree are given.     

A note on realizing homomorphisms of category algebras

The complete Boolean homomorphisms from the category algebra $\text{C}$(X) of a complete matrix space X to the category algebra $\text{C}$(Y) of a Baire topological space Y are characterized as those σ-homomorphisms which are induced by continuous maps from dense G₈-subsets of Y into X. This result is used to deduce a series of related results in topology and measure theory (some of which are well-known). Finally a similar result for the complete Boolean homomorphisms from the category algebra $\text{C}$(X) of a compact Hausdorff space X tothe category algebra $\text{C}$(Y) of a Baire topological space Y is proved.     

Generalized quasi-variational inequalities in locally convex topological vector spaces

Let E be a Hausdorff topological vector space and X ? E an arbitrary nonempty set. Denote by E′ the dual space of E and the pairing between E′ and E by 〈w, x〉 for w?E′ and x?E. Given a point-to-set map S: X → 2^X and a point-to-set map T: X → 2^E′, the generalized quasi-variational inequality problem (GQVI) is to find a point $\text{y}\text{?}\text{? S(}\text{y}\text{?}\text{)}$ and a point $\text{u}\text{?}\text{? T(}\text{y}\text{?}\text{)}$ such that $\text{Re}\text{〈}\text{u}\text{?}\text{,}\text{y}\text{?}\text{? x〉 ? 0}$ for all $\text{x ? S(}\text{y}\text{?}\text{)}$. By using the Ky Fan minimax principle or its generalized version as a tool, some general theorems on solutions of the GQVI in locally convex Hausdorff topological vector spaces are obtained which include a fixed point theorem due to Ky Fan and I. L. Glicksberg, and two different multivalued versions of the Hartman-Stampacchia variational inequality.     

A class of extension properties that are not simply generated

Let $\text{P}$ be a closed-hereditary topological property preserved by products. Call a space $\text{P}$-regular if it is homeomorphic to a subspace of a product of spaces with $\text{P}$. Suppose that each $\text{P}$-regular space possesses a $\text{P}$-regular compactification. It is well-known that each $\text{P}$-regular space X is densely embedded in a unique space γ_scPX with $\text{P}$ such that if f: X → Y is continuous and Y has $\text{P}$, then f extends continuously to γ_scPX. Call $\text{P}$-pseudocompact if γ_scPX is compact.Associated with $\text{P}$ is another topological property $\text{P}$^#, possessing all the properties hypothesized for $\text{P}$ above, defined as follows: a $\text{P}$-regular space X has $\text{P}$^# if each $\text{P}$-pseudocompact closed subspace of X is compact. It is known that the $\text{P}$-pseudocompact spaces coincide with the $\text{P}$^#-pseudocompact spaces, and that $\text{P}$^# is the largest closed-hereditary, productive property for which this is the case. In this paper we prove that if $\text{P}$ is not the property of being compact and $\text{P}$-regular, then $\text{P}$^# is not simply generated; in other words, there does not exist a space E such that the spaces with $\text{P}$^# are precisely those spaces homeomorphic to closed subspaces of powers of E.     

The metacompactness of spaces with bases of subinfinite rank

Let X be a set. A collection $\text{U}$of subsets of X has subinfinite rank if whenever $\text{V}$ ? $\text{U}$, ∩$\text{V}$≠ø, and $\text{V}$ is infinite, then there are two distinct elements of $\text{V}$, one of which is a subset of the other. Theorem. AT₁space with a base of subinfinite rank is hereditarily metacompact.     

About DK-like spaces and some applications

Let $\text{CSK}$ be the class of all $\text{K}$-scattered spaces having countable ranks. It is shown in this paper that if X is a regular θ-refinable space, then player one has a winning strategy in $\text{G(}\text{DK}\text{,X)}$ if and only if he has one in $\text{G(}\text{CSK}\text{,X)}$. This partly answers Y. Yajima's problem: By topological games, I prove that hereditary disconnectedness, zero-dimensionality and strong zero-dimensionality are equivalent in the realm of non-empty normal compact-scattered weak $\text{θ}$-refinable spaces. A collectionwise normal ultraparacompact-like space is an ultraparacompact space.     

On D-Paracompact spaces

Following Pareek a topological space X is called D-paracompact if for every open cover $\text{A}$ of X there exists a continuous mapping f from X onto a developable T₁-space Y and an open cover $\text{B}$ of Y such that { f^-1[B]|B ∈ $\text{B}$ } refines $\text{A}$. It is shown that a space is D-paracompact if and only if it is subparacompact and D-expandable. Moreover, it is proved that D-paracompactness coincides with a covering property, called dissectability, which was introduced by the author in order to obtain a base characterization of developable spaces.     

Countably compact extensions of topological spaces

We study the question whether a topological space X with a property $\text{P}$ can be embedded in a countably compact space X? with the same property $\text{P}$.     

Cohérence différentielle des F-isocristaux unités

Let $\text{V}$ be a mixed characteristic complete discrete valuation ring, $\text{P}$ a smooth formal scheme over $\text{V}$, P its special fiber, X a smooth subscheme of P, T a divisor in P such that T_X=T∩X is a divisor in X and $\text{D}{}^2{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>P</mtext>}}$ the weak completion of the sheaf of differential operators on $\text{P}$. We prove that the unit-root F-isocrystals on X?T_X overconvergent along T_X are coherent over $\text{D}{}^2{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>P</mtext><mtext>,</mtext><mtext>Q</mtext>}}$. To cite this article: D. Caro, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser. I 338 (2004).     

On a calculus for a generalized scalar operator

Let $\text{X}$ be a Banach space; S and T bounded scalar-type operators in $\text{X}$. Define Δ on the space of bounded operators on $\text{X}$ by ΔX = TX ? XS if X is a bounded operator. We set up a calculus for Δ which allows us to consider f(Δ), for f a complex-valued bounded Borel measurable function on the spectrum of Δ, as an operator in the space of bounded operators whose domain is a subspace of operators which we call measure generating. This calculus is used to obtain some results on when the kernel of Δ is a complemented subspace of the space of bounded operators on $\text{X}$.     

Unbounded operators generated by a given spectral measure

Let T be a closed densely-defined operator on a Banach space X and let E(·) be a spectral measure whose range $\text{E}$ is a complete Boolean algebra of projections in X. Then T is of the form ∝f(λ) dE(λ) if and only if T commutes with $\text{E}$ and leaves invariant every invariant subspace of $\text{E}$.     

On the square root of a positive B(X,X1)-valued function

Let (Ω, $\text{B}$, μ) be a measure space, $\text{X}$ a separable Banach space, and $\text{X}$¹ the space of all bounded conjugate linear functionals on $\text{X}$. Let f be a weak¹ summable positive B($\text{X, X}$¹)-valued function defined on Ω. The existence of a separable Hilbert space $\text{K}$, a weakly measurable B($\text{X, K}$)-valued function Q satisfying the relation $\text{Q}{}^1\text{(ω)Q(ω) = f(ω)}$ is proved. This result is used to define the Hilbert space L_2,f of square integrable operator-valued functions with respect to f. It is shown that for B⁺($\text{X, X}$¹)-valued measures, the concepts of weak¹, weak, and strong countable additivity are all the same. Connections with stochastic processes are explained.
