  • MARY ELLEN's CONJECTURES Introduction For
    MARY ELLEN'S CONJECTURES GARY GRUENHAGE AND PETER NYIKOS Introduction For a special issue like this, it would seem to be very appropriate for us, the editors, to write an article summarizing Mary Ellen's contributions to the field, and giving some account of her mathematical career. But there is an excellent article by Frank Tall [65] in the book The Work of Mary Ellen Rudin that does exactly this, covering her work and giving a sketch of her mathematical life up until shortly after her retirement in 1991. The article also includes a list of her students and their theses titles, her postdocs, and her publications. While she published a couple of papers on other topics after that time, she spent most of her post-retirement working on Nikiel's conjecture, that the images of compact ordered spaces are exactly the compact monotonically normal spaces. She eventually solved it (positively) in 2001 [63]; it took one of the deepest and most difficult arguments of her career to do so. Instead of copying Frank's article, we would like to do something a bit different. In the book Open Problems in Topology, published in 1990, Mary Ellen has an article [62] in which she states 17 \conjectures".1 This is the way she chose to phrase some unsolved problems, most of them due originally to others, that she was particularly interested in. We quote from her article to give a sense of her reasons for choosing these particular problems: \The problems I list here have mostly been listed in Rudin [1988]; I have worked on all of them long enough to have some real respect for them; they have all stood the test of time and labor by various people; and I feel any solution to any of them would have applications at least to other problems exhibiting similar pathologies." Here we go over Mary Ellen's list of conjectures, giving a brief summary of her contributions and where each conjecture stands today.

They hoped that these problems would counterbalance the more centrifugal 1980's, during which there was a tendency for each set-theoretic topol­ ogist to do his own thing, rather than there being many people working on problems generally recognized as important.

  • Small Dowker Spaces
    Open Problems in Topology II – Edited by E. Pearl © 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved Small Dowker spaces Paul J. Szeptycki A normal space whose product with the closed unit interval I is not normal is called a Dowker space. The spaces are named for Hugh Dowker who proved a number of characterizations of the class of spaces for which X × I is normal. One of his motivations for studying this class of spaces was the study of the so- called insertion property: X has the insertion property whenever f, g : X → R such that f < g, g lower semi-continuous and f upper semi-continuous, there is a continuous h: X → R such that f < h < g. Dowker proved the following characterization ([17]). Theorem. For a normal space, the following are equivalent (1) X is countably paracompact. (2) X × Y is normal for all infinite, compact metric spaces Y . (3) X × Y is normal for some infinite compact metric space Y . (4) X has the insertion property. The homotopy extension property also fueled interest in normality of products X×I (later Starbird [46] and Morita [34] showed that normality of X was sufficient to for the homotopy extension property). Dowker was the first to raise the question when he asked (in a footnote to [17]): “It would be interesting to have an example of a normal Hausdorff space that is not countably paracompact.” Indeed. The connection between normality and count- able paracompactness is quite subtle and constructing a normal not countably paracompact space has turned out to be a difficult and deep problem.

  • Open Problems in Topology
    OPEN PROBLEMS IN TOPOLOGY Edited by Jan van Mill Free University Amsterdam, The Netherlands George M. Reed St. Edmund Hall Oxford University Oxford, United Kingdom 1990 NORTH-HOLLAND AMSTERDAM • NEW YORK • OXFORD • TOKYO Introduction This volume grew from a discussion by the editors on the difficulty of finding good thesis problems for graduate students in topology. Although at any given time we each had our own favorite problems, we acknowledged the need to offer students a wider selection from which to choose a topic peculiar to their interests. One of us remarked, “Wouldn’t it be nice to have a book of current unsolved problems always available to pull down from the shelf?” The other replied, “Why don’t we simply produce such a book?” Two years later and not so simply, here is the resulting volume. The intent is to provide not only a source book for thesis-level problems but also a chal- lenge to the best researchers in the field. Of course, the presented problems still reflect to some extent our own prejudices. However, as editors we have tried to represent as broad a perspective of topological research as possible. The topics range over algebraic topology, analytic set theory, continua theory, digital topology, dimension theory, domain theory, function spaces, gener- alized metric spaces, geometric topology, homogeneity, infinite-dimensional topology, knot theory, ordered spaces, set-theoretic topology, topological dy- namics, and topological groups. Application areas include computer science, differential systems, functional analysis, and set theory. The authors are among the world leaders in their respective research areas. A key component in our specification for the volume was to provide current problems.

  • Separation and Coding
    TRANSACTIONSOF THE AMERICANMATHEMATICAL SOCIETY Volume 342, Number 1, March 1994 SEPARATIONAND CODING STEPHENWATSON Abstract. We construct a normal collectionwise Hausdorff space which is not collectionwise normal with respect to copies of [0,1]. We do this by developing a general theory of coding properties into topological spaces. We construct a para-Lindelöf regular space in which para-Lindelöf is coded directly rather than (T-para-Lindelöf and normal. We construct a normal collectionwise Hausdorff space which is not collectionwise normal in which collectionwise Hausdorff is coded directly rather than obtained as a side-effect to countable approximation. We also show that the Martin's axiom example of a normal space which is not collectionwise Hausdorff is really just a kind of "dual" of Bing's space. 1. Introduction In this paper, we construct examples in which properties such as collection- wise Hausdorff or para-Lindelöf are built directly into the example. In some cases, examples with the stated properties have already been described in the literature. Navy's space [20] is para-Lindelöf because normality and er-para- Lindelöf have been built in. Here, para-Lindelöf itself is built in. Fleissner's example George [11] is collectionwise Hausdorff because of a construction by countable approximation. Here Bing's construction [2] is applied to copies of o)\, for example, and collectionwise Hausdorff is built in directly. In partic- ular, a question of Fleissner and Reed is answered by constructing a normal collectionwise Hausdorff space which is not collectionwise normal with respect to copies of the closed unit interval. We also show that the Martin's axiom example of a normal space which is not collectionwise Hausdorff is really just a kind of "dual" of Bing's space.
