The K topology on R is described in Munkres: let K denote the set of all numbers of the form 1/n, for n Z+, and let B00 be the collection of all open intervals (a, b), along with 2 all sets of the form (a, b) K. The topology generated by B00 will be called the K-topology − on R. The open sets 1 1 ( , 1+ ) 1 and ( 1, 2) K { n +1 n }n=1 − − form an open cover of [0, 1] with no possible finite subcover. For part (b)thehintstatesthat( , 0) and (0, ) inherit their usual topologies as a 1 1 subspace of RK . Therefore both of these intervals are connected as they are in R.

Therefore RK is connected. 1 RK is strictly finer than the standard topology on R. Then a continuous function f : R Y , when Y = RK is still continuous when Y = R. Thus f satisfies the condi- ! tions for the Intermediate Value Theorem to hold. Let f be a path from 0 to 1 in RK where f(0) = 0 and f(1) = 1.

Using Pλ -spaces and the concept of λ-compactness some classical results regarding λ-perfect maps will be extended. In particular, we show that if the composition fg is a λ-perfect map where f; g are continuous maps with fg well-defined, then f; g are α-perfect and β -perfect, respectively, on appropriate spaces, where α, β ≤ λ. Key words: λ-Compact, λ-perfect, Pλ -space, Lindel¨ofnumber 1. Introduction A perfect map is a kind of continuous function between topological spaces. Perfect maps are weaker than homeomorphisms, but strong enough to preserve some topological properties such as local compactness that are not always preserved by continuous maps. Let X; Y be two topological spaces such that X is Hausdorff. A continuous map f : X ! Y is said to be a perfect map provided that f is closed and surjective and each fiber f −1(y) is compact in X . In [3], the authors study a generalization of compactness, i.e. λ-compactness. Motivated by this concept we are led to generalize the concept of perfect mapping.

  • Locally Compact, $Omega 1$-Compact Spaces
    LOCALLY COMPACT, !1-COMPACT SPACES PETER NYIKOS AND LYUBOMYR ZDOMSKYY Abstract. An !1-compact space is a space in which every closed discrete subspace is countable. We give various general conditions under which a locally compact, !1-compact space is σ-countably compact, i.e., the union of countably many countably compact spaces. These conditions involve very elementary properties. Many results shown here are independent of the usual (ZFC) axioms of set theory, and the consistency of some may involve large cardinals. For example, it is independent of the ZFC axioms whether every locally compact, !1-compact space of cardinality @1 is σ- countably compact. Whether @1 can be replaced with @2 is a difficult unsolved problem. Modulo large cardinals, it is also ZFC-independent whether every hereditarily normal, or every monotonically normal, locally compact, !1-compact space is σ-countably compact. As a result, it is also ZFC-independent whether there is a locally compact, !1-compact Dowker space of cardinality @1, or one that does not contain both an uncountable closed discrete subspace and a copy of the ordinal space !1. On the other hand, it is a theorem of ZFC that every locally compact, locally connected and connected, monotonically normal space is σ-countably compact. More generally, every locally compact space with a monotonically normal compactification is the topological direct sum of σ-countably compact spaces; and if it is totally disconnected, every summand can be made countably compact. Set theoretic tools used for the consistency results include |, the Proper Forcing Axiom (PFA), and models generically referred to as \MM(S)[S]".

    PROPER ACTIONS ON TOPOLOGICAL GROUPS: APPLICATIONS TO QUOTIENT SPACES SERGEY A. ANTONYAN Abstract. Let X be a Hausdorff topological group and G a locally compact subgroup of X. We show that the natural action of G on X is proper in the sense of R. Palais. This is applied to prove that there exists a closed set F ⊂ X such that FG = X and the restriction of the quotient projection X → X/G to F is a perfect map F → X/G. This is a key result to prove that many topological properties (among them, paracompactness and normality) are transferred from X to X/G, and some others are transferred from X/G to X. Yet another application leads to the inequality dim X ≤ dim X/G +dim G for every paracompact topological group X and a locally compact subgroup G of X having a compact group of connected components. 1. Introduction By a G-space we mean a completely regular Hausdorff space together with a fixed continuous action of a Hausdorff topological group G on it. The notion of a proper G-space was introduced in 1961 by R. Palais [23] with the purpose to extend a substantial portion of the theory of compact Lie group actions to the case of noncompact ones. A G-space X is called proper (in the sense of Palais [23, Definition 1.2.2]), if each point of X has a, so called, small neighborhood, i.e., a neighborhood V such that for every point of X there is a neighborhood U with the property that the set hU, V i = {g ∈ G | gU ∩ V 6= ∅} has compact closure in G.

Blair and van Douwen produced quite a few results by characterizing nearly realcompact spaces in terms of their relatively pseudocompact cozero-sets in [2]. In this paper we continue the development of nearly re- alcompact spaces begun in [17], one which parallels Henriksen and Rayburn’s approach to nearly pseudocompact spaces initiated in [8].

  • Topological Extension Properties 367
    TRANSACTIONS OF THE AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY Volume 210, 1975 TOPOLOGICALEXTENSION PROPERTIES BY R. GRANT WOODSi1) ABSTRACT. It is known that if a topological property P of Tychonoff spaces is closed-hereditary, productive, and possessed by all compact P-regular spaces, then each P-regular space A" is a dense subspace of a space y„X with P such that if Y has P and /: X —►Y is continuous, then / extends continuously to /': y„X—► Y. Such topological properties are called extension properties; y-X is called the maximal P-extension of X. In this paper we study the rela- tionships between pairs of extension properties and their maximal extensions. A basic tool is the concept of P-pseudocompactness, which is studied in detail (a P-regular space X is P-pseudocompact if y^X is compact). A classification of extension properties is attempted, and several means of constructing exten- sion properties are studied. A number of examples are considered in detail. 1. Introduction. Topologists have long been fascinated by the problem of determining when a continuous function from a topological space X to a space Y can be continuously extended to a space T containing X as a subspace. If Y is the space of real numbers, this leads to the study of C*-embedding and C-embed- ding; these concepts are discussed in detail in the Gillman-Jerison text [12]. If, for each normal space T and each closed subspace X of T, each continuous func- tion from X to y can be continuously extended to T, then Y is called an absolute retract.

    REALIZING SPACES AS PATH-COMPONENT SPACES TARAS BANAKH, JEREMY BRAZAS Abstract. The path component space of a topological space X is the quotient space π0(X) whose points are the path components of X. We show that every Tychonoff space X is the path-component space of a Tychonoff space Y of weight w(Y) = w(X) such that the natural quotient map Y π (Y) = X is a perfect map. Hence, many ! 0 topological properties of X transfer to Y. We apply this result to construct a compact space X R3 for which the fundamental group π (X; x ) is an uncountable, cosmic, ⊂ 1 0 k!-topological group but for which the canonical homomorphism : π (X; x ) 1 0 ! πˇ 1(X; x0) to the first shape homotopy group is trivial. 1. Introduction The path-component space of a topological space X is the set π0(X) of path compo- nents of X equipped with the natural quotient topology inherited from X, i.e the natural map X π (X) identifying each path component to a point is a quotient ! 0 map. The path-component space of the space Ω(X; x ) of based loops S1 X is 0 ! the usual fundamental group π1(X; x0) equipped with a functorial topology that gives it the structure of a quasitopological group. Recent interest and applications of homotopy groups enriched with such topologies has brought more relevance to path-component spaces. It is a beautiful and surprising result of Douglas Harris that every topological space is a path-component space [19].

Topology Proceedings Vol 17, 1992 PRESERVATION PROPERTIES OF TRI-QUOTIENT MAPS WITH SIEVE-COMPLETE FIBRES WINFRIED JUST* AND HOWARD WICKE Abstract: We show that regular images of regular monotonic p-spaces under tri-quotient maps with sieve-complete fibres are of pointwise countable type, and are first countable if the do­ main has also a base of countable order. It is also shown that such maps are always countable-compact-covering. None of the above remains true if one replaces "tri-quotient" by "bi­ quotient." o. INTRODUCTION The concept of a tri-quotient map was introduced in [M 77]. It is a generalization of both the concepts of an open map and a perfect map. One would therefore expect that topological properties preserved by both open maps and perfect maps are also preserved by tri-quotient maps. In this paper, we establish some results of this kind. Our focus is on tri-quotient maps with sieve-complete fibres (not necessarily for a fixed sieve on the domain) which have regular monotonic p-spaces or spaces with a base of countable order as their domains. These spaces behave well with respect to perfect maps and open maps in the presence of uniform completeness of the fibres (see [WW 67] and [WW 73]. A summary of results can be found in [CCN]). • Partially supported by NSF grant DMS-9016021.

Introduction In this paper all maps f : X ! Y between topological spaces X and Y are continuous functions. A covering projection is a map p : X ! Y such that each point in Y has a neighborhood V such that p¡1 (V ) is the union of mutually disjoint open sets which map homeomorphically onto V under p. In this instance, X, and some- times (X; p), is called a covering space of the base space Y .A map f : X ! Y is called a local homeomorphism if for each point x 2 X there are a neighborhood U about x and a neighborhood V about y = f (x) such that the restriction fjU : U ! V is a surjec- tive homeomorphism. A map f : X ! Y is called a closed map if for every closed set A ½ X the image f (A) is a close set in Y .A map f : X ! Y is perfect if X is a T2 space, and f is closed and all fibers f ¡1 (y) is compact.
