Enumeration Degrees and Non-Metrizable Topology ENUMERATION DEGREES AND NON-METRIZABLE TOPOLOGY TAKAYUKI KIHARA, KENG MENG NG, AND ARNO PAULY Abstract. The enumeration degrees of sets of natural numbers can be identified with the degrees of difficulty of enumerating neighborhood bases of points in a universal second-countable T0-space (e.g. the !-power of the Sierpi´nskispace). Hence, every represented second-countable T0-space determines a collection of enumeration degrees.

The notion of an enumeration degree was introduced by Friedberg and Rogers [19] in 1950s to estimate the degree of difficulty of enumerating a given set of natural numbers. Roughly speaking, given sets A; B ⊆ !, A is enumeration reducible to B (written A ≤e B) if there is a computable procedure that, given an enumeration of B, returns an enumeration of A. Since then, the study of enumeration degrees have been one of the most important subjects in computability theory. Nevertheless, only a few subcollections of enumeration degrees have been isolated. Some prominent isolated properties are totality, semirecursiveness [30], and quasi-minimality [38]. Recently, the notion of cototality has also been found to be important and robust; see Andrews et al. [1], Jeandel [29], and McCarthy [35]. Our aim is to understand the profound structure of enumeration degrees by isolating further subcollections of enumeration degrees and then establish a \zoo" of enumeration degrees. To achieve our objective, we pay attention to a topological perspective of enumeration degrees. The enumeration degrees can be identified with the degrees of difficulty of enumerating neighborhood bases of points in a universal second-countable T0-space (e.g. the !-power of the Sierpi´nskispace). Hence, every represented second-countable T0-space determines a collection of enumeration degrees. This is exactly what Miller [41] did for metric spaces. Miller introduced the notion of continuous degrees as the degree structure of a universal separable metric space, and he described how this new notion can be understood as a substructure of enumeration degrees. Subsequently, Kihara-Pauly [31] noticed that the total degrees are the enu- meration degrees of neighborhood bases of points in (sufficiently effective) countable dimensional separable metric spaces. This observation eventually led them to an ap- plication of continuous degrees in other areas outside of computability theory, such as descriptive set theory and infinite dimensional topology. Other applications of contin- uous degrees can also be found in Day-Miller [9] and Gregoriades-Kihara-Ng [21]. ENUMERATION DEGREES AND NON-METRIZABLE TOPOLOGY 3 In this article, we further develop these former ideas. We utilize general topology (particularly non-metrizable topology) to establish a classification theory of enumera- tion degrees. For instance, we will examine which enumeration degrees can be realized as points in T0 (Kolmogorov), T1 (Fr´echet), T2 (Hausdorff), T2:5 (Urysohn), and sub- metrizable spaces. Furthermore, we will discuss the notion of Ti-quasi-minimality. We will also provide a characterization of the notion of cototality in terms of computable topology. Our work reveals that general topology (non-metrizable topology) is extremely useful to understand the highly intricate structure of subsets of the natural numbers. 1.2. Summary. In Section 3, we reveal what substructures are captured by the degree structures of individual represented cb0 spaces (some of which are quasi-Polish). For instance, we define various subcollections of e-degrees, and then show the following. • We construct a represented, decidable, T1, non-T2, quasi-Polish space X such that the X -degrees are precisely the telograph-cototal degrees (Proposition 5.5). • We construct a represented, decidable, T2, non-T2:5, quasi-Polish space X such that the X -degrees are precisely the doubled co-d-CEA degrees (Theorem 5.7). • We construct a represented, decidable, T2:5, non-submetrizable, quasi-Polish space X such that the X -degrees are precisely the Arens co-d-CEA (the Roy halfgraph-above) degrees (Theorems 5.12 and 5.15). • We construct a represented, decidable, submetrizable, non-metrizable, quasi- Polish space X such that the X -degrees are precisely the co-d-CEA degrees (Proposition 5.24). • Given a countable pointclass Γ, there is a computable extension γ of the standard representation of Cantor space (hence, it induces a submetrizable topology) such that the (2!; γ)-degrees are exactly the Γ-above degrees (Proposition 5.16). • Every e-degree is an X -degree for some decidable, submetrizable, cb0 space X (Theorem 5.17). In particular, every e-degree is the degree of a point of a decidable T2:5 space. For the details of the above results, see Section 3. In Section 3.8, we emphasize the importance of the notion of a network. A Gδ-space is a topological space in which every closed set is Gδ. A second-countable T0-space X is a Gδ-space if and only if X has a countable closed network (Proposition 5.29). The following is an unexpected characterization of cototality. • An e-degree is cototal if and only if it is an X -degree of a computably Gδ, cb0 space X (Theorem 3.27). • co co There exists a decidable, computably Gδ, cb0 space Amax such that the Amax- degrees are exactly the cototal e-degrees (Theorem 5.36). We also show several separation results for specific degree-notions. For instance, • There are an n-semirecursive e-degree c ≤ 000 and a total e-degree d ≤ 000 such that the join c ⊕ d is not (n + 1)-semirecursive (Theorem 7.20). • For any n 2 !, an n-semirecursive e-degree is either total or a strong quasi- minimal cover of a total e-degree (Theorem 7.22). • For any n, there is an (n + 1)-cylinder-cototal e-degree which is not n-cylinder- cototal (Theorem 5.2). 4 TAKAYUKI KIHARA, KENG MENG NG, AND ARNO PAULY • There is a co-d-CEA set A ⊆ ! such that A is not cylinder-cototal (Proposition 7.34). • 0 Every semirecursive, non-∆2 e-degree is quasi-minimal w.r.t. telograph-cototal e-degrees (Theorem 7.26). • There is a semirecursive set A ⊆ ! which is quasi-minimal, but not quasi- minimal w.r.t. telograph-cototal e-degrees (Theorem 7.28). • There is a cylinder-cototal e-degree which is quasi-minimal w.r.t. telograph- cototal e-degrees (Theorem 7.35). • ! ! 1 By (! )GH(n) we denote the set ! endowed with the Σn-Gandy-Harrington topology. For any distinct numbers n; m 2 !, there is no e-degree which is both ! ! an (! )GH(n)-degree and an (! )GH(m)-degree (Theorem 7.54). • There is a continuous degree which is neither telograph-cototal nor cylinder- cototal (Proposition 7.42). Moreover, we introduce the notion of a regular-like network, and give a characteriza- tion in the context of a closure representation, which plays a key role in Section 7. By using these notions, we will show the following separation results. • Let T be a countable collection of second-countable T1 spaces. Then, there is a T -quasi-minimal semirecursive e-degree (Theorem 7.13). • Let T be a countable collection of second-countable T1 spaces. Then, there is an (n + 1)-semirecursive e-degree which cannot be written as the join of an n-semirecursive e-degree and an X -degree for X 2 T (Theorem 7.18). • For any represented Hausdorff space X , there is a cylinder-cototal e-degree which is not an X -degree (Theorem 7.32). N • There is a cylinder-cototal e-degree which is NN -quasi-minimal (Theorem 7.33). • Given any countable collection fSigi2! of effective T2 spaces, there is a telograph- cototal e-degree which is Si-quasi-minimal for any i 2 ! (Theorem 7.37).

Epsilons and Deltas In this course we take the overarching view that the mathematical study called topology grew out of an attempt to make precise the notion of continuous function in mathematics. This is one of the most difficult concepts to get across to beginning calculus students, not least because it took centuries for mathematicians themselves to get it right. The intuitive idea is natural enough, and has been around for at least four hundred years. The mathematically precise formulation dates back only to the ninteenth century, however. This is the one involving those pesky epsilons and deltas, the one that leaves most newcomers completely baffled. Why, many ask, do we even bother with this confusing definition, when there is the original intuitive one that makes perfectly good sense? In this introductory section I hope to give a believable answer to this quite natural question.

  • Introduction to Topological Groups
    Introduction to Topological Groups Dikran Dikranjan To the memory of Ivan Prodanov Abstract These notes provide a brief introduction to topological groups with a special emphasis on Pontryagin- van Kampen’s duality theorem for locally compact abelian groups. We give a completely self-contained elementary proof of the theorem following the line from [36]. According to the classical tradition, the structure theory of the locally compact abelian groups is built parallelly. 1 Introduction Let L denote the category of locally compact abelian groups and continuous homomorphisms and let T = R/Z be the unit circle group. For G ∈ L denote by Gb the group of continuous homomorphisms (characters) G → T equipped with the compact-open topology1. Then the assignment G 7→ Gb is a contravariant endofunctor b: L → L. The celebrated Pontryagin-van Kampen duality theorem ([82]) says that this functor is, up to natural equivalence, an involution i.e., Gb =∼ G (see Theorem 7.36 for more detail). Moreover, this functor sends compact groups to discrete ones and viceversa, i.e., it defines a duality between the subcategory C of compact abelian groups and the subcategory D of discrete abelian groups. This allows for a very efficient and fruitful tool for the study of compact abelian groups, reducing all problems to the related problems in the category of discrete groups. The reader is advised to give a look at the Mackey’s beautiful survey [75] for the connection of charactres and Pontryagin-van Kampen duality to number theory, physics and elsewhere. This duality inspired a huge amount of related research also in category theory, a brief comment on a specific categorical aspect (uniqueness and representability) can be found in §8.1 of the Appendix.

Al­ though it would be hazardous to claim that the creation of significant examples is less demanding than the development of theory, we have dis­ covered that focusing on examples is a particularly expeditious means of involving undergraduate mathematics students in actual research. Not only are examples more concrete than theorems-and thus more accessible-but they cut across individual theories and make it both appropriate and neces­ sary for the student to explore the entire literature in journals as well as texts. Indeed, much of the content of this book was first outlined by under­ graduate research teams working with the authors at Saint Olaf College during the summers of 1967 and 1968.

After preparing the basic tools used in the rest of thesis we start by a question which coreflective subcategories of Top have the property SA = Top (i.e., every topological space can be embedded in a space from A). We characterize such classes by finding generators of the smallest coreflective subcategory of Top with this property. In particular we show that this holds for the category PsRad of the pseudoradial spaces and by modification of the proof of this result we get that the pseudoradial spaces have similar property also in the category Top1 of T1-spaces.

Rubinstein Abstract This paper discusses several properties of topological spaces and how they are reflected by correspond- ing properties of the associated semi-regularization topologies. For example a space is almost locally connected if and only if its semi-regularization is locally connected. Various separation, connected- ness, covering, and mapping properties are considered. 1980 Mathematics subject classification (Amer. Math. Soc.): 54 A 10, 54 C 10, 54 D 05, 54 D 10, 54 D 30. Keywords and phrases: semi-regular, regular open, almost regular, almost locally connected, nearly compact, almost continuous, 8-continuous, super-continuous. Introduction In this paper we are concerned with the relationship between the properties of a topological space (X, &~) and those of its semi-regularization topology (X, ^). Cameron [2] has called a topological property R semi-regular provided that (X, IT) has property R if and only if (X, &~s) has property R. In one sense this paper is a continuation of the study of semi-regular properties. Porter and Thomas [20] and Veliflco [29] have shown the importance of semi-regularization topologies in the study of //-closed and minimal Hausdorff spaces. Cameron [2] has applied semi-regularization techniques to the study of 5-closed spaces.

  • Characterizations of Several Covering Properties
    Appendix A Characterizations of Several Covering Properties This appendix is prepared for the convenience of text reading. We mainly introduce characterizations and relevant mapping theorems of five covering properties used in the text: paracompactness, metacompactness, subparacompactness, submetacom- pactness and meta-Lindelöfness. For a systematic introduction of covering properties, we recommend reading “Covering Properties” [83] or “Selected Topics in General Topology” [212]. In this appendix, no separation axiom is assumed for spaces except it is specially mentioned and all mappings are assumed to be continuous and onto. We first recall some basic terminologies. Suppose X is a topological space and U ={Uα}α<γ is a cover of X, where γ is an ordinal number. U is called a well-monotone cover of X if Uα ⊂ Uβ for every α<β<γ. U is called a directed cover of X if for every α, β < γ , there is δ<γsuch that Uα ∪ Uβ ⊂ Uδ. For families V and W of subsets of X, V is said to be a partial refinement of W if for each V ∈ V , there is W ∈ W such that V ⊂ W. V said to be a refinement of W if V covers X and V is a partial refinement of W . For other notations and terminologies, please refer to Sect. 1.1 of the text. A.1 Paracompact Spaces Definition A.1.1 A space X is a called a paracompact space [112] if every open cover of X has a locally finite open refinement. X is called a countably paracom- pact space [116, 224] if every countable open cover of X has a locally finite open refinement.

  • Appendices SPECIAL REFERENCE CHARTS
    PART IV Appendices SPECIAL REFERENCE CHARTS The next few pages contain six basic reference charts which display the properties of the various examples. The properties of a topological space have been grouped into six nearly disjoint categories: separation, com­ pactness, paracompactness, connectedness, disconnectedness, and metriza­ tion. In each category we have listed those spaces whose behavior is par­ ticularly appropriate. We usually chose any space which represented a counterexample in that category or which exhibited either an unusual or an instructive pathology; occasionally we listed a space simply because it was so well behaved. Entries in the charts are either 1, 0, or -, meaning, respectively, that the space has the property, does not have the property, or that the property is inapplicable. Occasional blanks represent properties which were not dis­ cussed in the text and which do not appear to follow simply from anything that was discussed. Examples are listed by number, and in a few cases the tables extend beyond one page in length. 185 Special Reference Charts 187 Table I SEPARATION AXIOM CHART -<~ ;.. ..:l ..:l ~ p IZ1 ~ ~ Z Eo< -< ~ ~ ~ ~ -< ~ IZ1 ..:l ..:l ;j ::;l ::;l ..:l 0 ..:l P -< t; ....~ p en Po. ~ ::;l Po. = re g;; ., ::;l g;; ::;l 0 g;; 0 ., ..
