Compactness A simple applications yields the existence of (many) maximal ideals in rings. Then we discuss fundamental notions of topology, focusing on “topologies” and “filters”. Of central importance is the notion of a “subbasis”. Finally, we discuss (quasi-)compactness, and prove Tychonoff’s theorem.

(Georg Cantor, Über unendliche, lineare Punktmannichfaltigkeiten, Teil 5; Mathematische Annalen, Band 21, 1883) Ideal objects in set theory and topology Translation (using modern terminology): Oliver Kullmann A “wellordered set” ist a set M together with a Historical remarks linear order ≤, such that every subset, which Enumerating sets has a strict upper bound, has a smallest strict Topologies and filters upper bound. Thus Bases and there is a smallest element of M if M is not subbases Topology: SAT in empty; disguise every element, which is not the largest Compactness element (if there is one), has a successor. Equivalently: A wellordering of a set M is a linear order on M such that every non-empty subset has a smallest element. Ideal objects in set Exhausting sets theory and topology In the same article: Oliver Kullmann Der Begriff der wohlgeordneten Menge weist Historical remarks sich als fundamental für die ganze Enumerating sets Topologies and Mannichfaltigkeitslehre aus. Dass es immer filters möglich ist, jede wohldefinirte Menge in die Bases and Form einer wohlgeordneten Menge zu bringen, subbases Topology: SAT in auf dieses, wie mir schient, grundlegende und disguise folgenreiche, durch seine Allgemeingültigkeit Compactness besonders merkwürdige Denkgesetz werde ich in einer späteren Abhandlung zurückkommen. Simplified translation: “Every set can be wellordered, and this is a fundamental property of sets.” (Where according to Cantor a mathematical object exists iff it is present in the omnipotent intellect of god.) Ideal objects in set More on exhausting sets theory and topology Oliver Kullmann Historical remarks Enumerating sets The principle behind well-ordering a set is Topologies and filters that we grab elements out the “bag”, one after Bases and another, subbases Topology: SAT in and if this doesn’t exhaust the set, then at “limit disguise steps” we make a jump, assume that the infinitely Compactness many choices have been made, and start with a new chosen element which is posited as “successor” of all the elements previously chosen. Ideal objects in set theory and Fundamental intuitions on the notion of “set” are: topology 1 A set presents an “actual infinity”, not a “potential Oliver Kullmann infinity”. Historical remarks 2 Better said, the set is “fixed” (“frozen”), it is “being”, Enumerating sets Topologies and not (like proper classes(!)), “becoming”. filters 3 Thus the set is “measurable”, where its “size” is Bases and subbases measured by a “cardinal number”. Topology: SAT in disguise 4 The successor of this cardinal number provides a Compactness powerful enough exhaustion process (by all smaller “ordinal numbers”). 5 Here the cardinality of sets just measures its size, while an ordinal number provides the details of how we (transfinitely) “enumerated” it. (So well-ordering of sets are possible iff measurement tools are powerful enough!) Ideal objects in set Exhausting sets, more precisely theory and topology Oliver Kullmann Historical remarks With Hausdorff’s “Grundzüge der Mengenlehre” (1914): Enumerating sets Aus einer unendlichen Menge A greife man Topologies and filters willkürlich ein Element heraus, daß man mit a0 Bases and bezeichne, dann aus A − {a0} ein Element a1, subbases aus A − {a , a } ein weiteres Element a usf. Topology: SAT in 0 1 2 disguise Dies ist für jede endliche Zahl möglich. Wenn Compactness die Menge {a0, a1, a2,...} noch nicht die ganze Menge A ist, so läßt sich aus A − {a0, a1, a2,...} ein weiteres Element aω auswählen, wenn damit A noch nicht erschöpft ist, ein Element aω+1 usw. Ideal objects in set Continuation theory and topology Dies Verfahren muß einmal ein Ende nehmen, Oliver Kullmann denn über der Menge W der Ordnungszahlen, Historical remarks denen man Elemente von A zuordnen kann, gibt Enumerating sets es größere Zahlen, und diesen kann man also Topologies and keine Elemente von A mehr zuordnen. Man filters Bases and kann nun leicht zeigen (s.u.), daß dann auch alle subbases Elemente von A verbraucht sind, also A mit W Topology: SAT in äquivalent ist. disguise Compactness In short: If we take a sufficiently large ordinal number, then by choosing for each smaller element (by transfinite induction) some new element of A we can exhaust A, and the obtained initial segment of ordinal numbers yields a well-ordering of A. Using for the choices the “Axiom of Choice”, we see that the Axiom of Choice is equivalent to the Wellordering Axiom. Ideal objects in set Zorn’s Lemma theory and topology Oliver Kullmann Historical remarks Enumerating sets A poset (M, ≤) is called inductive if every chain of M (a Topologies and linearly ordered subset) has an upper bound. filters Bases and For every inductive poset (M, ≤) and every x ∈ M there subbases Topology: SAT in exists a maximal element y ∈ M with x ≤ y. disguise Compactness Proof idea: Just grab bigger elements (as long as they exist), and for the limit steps (where we “jump”) use inductiveness — this process must stop with a maximal element y above the start element x. Ideal objects in set Maximal ideals in rings theory and topology Oliver Kullmann Historical remarks Enumerating sets Topologies and filters Consider a ring R and a proper ideal I of R Bases and subbases (that is, I 6= R). Then there exists a maximal Topology: SAT in proper ideal I0 of R with I ⊆ I0. disguise Compactness Proof: The poset of proper ideals of R (ordered by subset-inclusion) is inductive. Ideal objects in set Reminder: Filters theory and topology Oliver Kullmann A filter on a set M is a set system F ⊆ P(M) stable Historical remarks under finite intersection and superset formation. Enumerating sets F is called proper if F 6= (M), which is equivalent Topologies and P filters to ∅ ∈/ F. Bases and A principal filter (or trivial filter) consists exactly of subbases Topology: SAT in the supersets of {x} for some x ∈ M. disguise Compactness Since a filter does not “care” about “big sets”, every filter captures some (“robust”) notion of “small sets”. The notion of a filter is too general to allow some form of “measurement”, but to express that something holds for “small” sets, we say that it holds for all elements of the respective filter. Ideal objects in set Reminder: Topologies theory and topology Oliver Kullmann Historical remarks Recall: A topological space is a pair (X, τ) where X is a Enumerating sets set and τ is a set system on X stable under finite Topologies and intersections and arbitrary unions.

ISSN: 2287{6235 (electronic version) http://www.kyungmoon.com http://www.afmi.or.kr On L−generalized filters and nets G. A. Kamel Received 13 March 2017; Revised 20 April 2017; Accepted 5 May 2017 Abstract. In this paper, we consider the L−generalized filters and L−generalized nets on the non empty universal set X to be a natural generalization of the crisp generalized filters and the crisp generalized nets respectively. In each the crisp and L−generalized cases, the extended and restricted filters (nets) will be obtained respectively. The construction of convergence to limit points of the crisp generalized and L−generalized filters (nets) will be studied respectively. We also show that any crisp generalized net on the set X associates a unique L−generalized net on X; and in general the converse is not true. In addition to that we also show that for any given L−generalized filter there exists the L−generalized net, and the vice-versa is true. Finally, the relations between the convergence of the L−generalized filters and the L−generalized nets will be outlined. Moreover, to support these concepts and relations, the construction of some examples in all sections of paper will be studied. 2010 AMS Classification: 54A40 Keywords: Generalized filter, Generalized nets, L−generalized filter, L−generalized nets, Neighbourhoods generalized filter systems.

We show that each second countable Urysohn space which is not Urysohn-closed can be condensed onto a connected Urysohn space and as a corollary we charac- terize those countable Urysohn spaces which have connected Urysohn subtopologies. We also answer two questions from [12] regarding condensations onto connected Hausdorff spaces. 1. Introduction and Preliminary Results Recall that a space is Urysohn if distinct points have disjoint closed neighbourhoods and a space is feebly compact if every locally finite family of open sets is finite. During the 1960's and 70's many papers appeared in which countable connected Urysohn spaces were constructed (see for example [6],[7],[8] and [9]); such spaces were in some sense considered oddities. In a previous paper [12], we proved that each disconnected Hausdorff space with a countable network can be condensed (that is to say, there is a continuous bijection) onto a connected Hausdorff space if and only if it is not feebly compact.

  • A Note on I-Convergence and I⋆-Convergence Of
    MATEMATIQKI VESNIK originalni nauqni rad 67, 3 (2015), 212–221 research paper September 2015 A NOTE ON I-CONVERGENCE AND I?-CONVERGENCE OF SEQUENCES AND NETS IN TOPOLOGICAL SPACES Amar Kumar Banerjee and Apurba Banerjee Abstract. In this paper, we use the idea of I-convergence and I?-convergence of sequences and nets in a topological space to study some important topological properties. Further we derive characterization of compactness in terms of these concepts. We introduce also the idea of I-sequentially compactness and derive a few basic properties in a topological space. 1. Introduction The concept of convergence of a sequence of real numbers was extended to statistical convergence independently by H. Fast [3] and I.J. Schoenberg [15] as follows: If K is a subset of the set of all natural numbers N then natural density of the jKnj set K is defined by d(K) = limn!1 n if the limit exits [4,13] where jKnj stands for the cardinality of the set Kn = fk 2 K : k · ng. A sequence fxng of real numbers is said to be statistically convergent to ` if for every " > 0 the set K(") = fk 2 N : jxk ¡ `j ¸ "g has natural density zero [3,15]. This idea of statistical convergence of real sequence was generalized to the idea of I-convergence of real sequences [6,7] using the notion of ideal I of subsets of the set of natural numbers. Several works on I-convergence and on statistical convergence have been done in [1,2,6,7,9,12]. The idea of I-convergence of real sequences coincides with the idea of ordi- nary convergence if I is the ideal of all finite subsets of N and with the statistical convergence if I is the ideal of subsets of N of natural density zero.

  • Neighbourhood Lattices – a Poset Approach to Topological Spaces
    BULL. AUSTRAL. MATH. SOC. 54AO5, 06A99, 06B99, 54C60 VOL. 39 (1989) [31-48] NEIGHBOURHOOD LATTICES - A POSET APPROACH TO TOPOLOGICAL SPACES FRANK P. PROKOP In this paper neighbourhood lattices are developed as a generalisation of topological spaces in order to examine to what extent the concepts of "openness", "closedness", and "conti- nuity" defined in topological spaces depend on the lattice structure of V(X), the power set of X . A general pre-neighbourhood system, which satisfies the poset analogues of the neigh- bourhood system of points in a topological space, is defined on an A-semi-lattice, and is used to define open elements. Neighbourhood systems, which satisfy the poset analogues of the neighbourhood system of sets in a topological space, are introduced and it is shown that it is the conditionally complete atomistic structure of "P(X) which determines the extension of pre-neighbourhoods of points to the neighbourhoods of sets. The duals of pre-neighbourhood systems are used to generate closed elements in an arbitrary lattice, independently of closure operators or complementation. These dual systems then form the backdrop for a brief discussion of the relationship between pre- neighbourhood systems, topological closure operators, algebraic closure operators, and Cech closure operators. Continuity is defined for functions between neighbourhood lattices, and it is proved that a function f: X —* Y between topological spaces is continuous if and only if cor- responding direct image function between the neighbourhood lattices V(X) and V(Y) is continuous in the neighbourhood sense. Further, it is shown that the algebraic char- acter of continuity, that is, the non-convergence aspects, depends only on the properites of pre-neighbourhood systems.

  • Postnikov Factorizations at Infinity
    Postnikov factorizations at infinity ∗yz J. Ignacio Extremiana Aldana L. Javier Hern´andez Paricio M. Teresa Rivas Rodr´ıguez Departamento de Matem´aticas y Computaci´on Universidad de La Rioja 26004 Logrono~ Email addresses: [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] October 14, 2002 Abstract We have developed Postnikov sections for Brown-Grossman homotopy groups and for Steenrod homotopy groups in the category of exterior spaces, which is an extension of the proper category. The homotopy fibre of a fibration in the factorization associated with Brown-Grossman groups is an Eilenberg-Mac Lane exterior space for this type of groups and it has two non-trivial consecutive Steenrod homotopy groups. For a space which is first countable at infinity, one of these groups is given by the inverse limit of the homotopy groups of the neighbourhoods at infinity, the other group is isomorphic to the first derived of the inverse limit of this system of groups. In the factorization associated with Steenrod groups the homotopy fibre is an Eilenberg-Mac Lane exterior space for this type of groups and it has two non-trivial consecutive Brown-Grossman homotopy groups. We also obtain a mix factorization containing both kind previous factorizations and having homotopy fibres which are Eilenberg-Mac Lane exterior spaces for both kind of groups. Given a compact metric space embedded in the Hilbert cube, its open neighbourhoods provide the Hilbert cube the structure of an exterior space and the homotopy fibres of the factorizations above are Eilengerg-Mac Lane exterior spaces with respect to inward (or approaching) Quigley groups.

  • Convergence in Neighbourhood Lattices
    BULL. AUSTRAL. MATH. SOC. 54AO5, 06A99, 06B99, 54C60 VOL. 40 (1989) [129-145] CONVERGENCE IN NEIGHBOURHOOD LATTICES FRANK P. PROKOP A consideration of the separation properties of pre-neighbourhood lattices, leads to the definition and characterisation of T\ -neighbourhood lattices in terms of the properties of the neighbourhood mapping, independently of points. It is then shown that if net conver- gence is defined in neighbourhood lattices as a consequence of replacing 'point' by 'set' in topological convergence, then the limits of convergent nets are unique. The relation- ship between continuity and convergence is established with the proof of the statement that a residuated function between conditionally complete 1\-neighbourhood lattices is continuous if and only if it preserves the limit of convergent nets. If V(X) denotes the power set of X, then the observation that a filter in a topological space (X, T) is a net in V(X) leads to a discussion of the net convergence of a filter as a special case of net convergence. Particular attention is paid to maximal filters, Frechet filters and to the filter generated by the limit elements of a net. Further, if the 'filter' convergence of a filter F in a topological space (X, T) is given by F —* x, if tj(x) C F, then the relationship between 'filter' convergence and the net convergence of a filter in V(X) is established. Finally, it is proved that, in the neighbourhood system 'lifted' from a topological space to TCP(X)), the continuous image of a filter which converges to a singleton set is a convergent filter with the appropriate image set as the limit.

  • On the Characterization of $ M $-Metrizable Spaces
    On the characterization of M-metrizable spaces Olli Hella 27 June 2017 ABSTRACT. We introduced the concept of a metric value set (MVS) in an earlier paper [1] and developed the idea further in [2]. In this paper we study locally M-metrizable spaces and the products of M-metrizable spaces. Finally we prove a characterization of commutatively metrizable topological spaces by means of the bases of a quasiuniformity. Introduction First we recall definitions from [1] and [2]. A metric value set (MVS) is a set M with at least two elements and a binary operation + satisfying the following conditions: (M1) The operation + is associative. (M2) The operation + has a (then unique) neutral element e. Let M∗ = M\{e}. (M3) If m1 + m2 = e, then m1 = m2 = e. ∗ ∗ (M4) For every m1, m2 ∈ M there are m3 ∈ M and m4, m5 ∈ M such that m1 = m3 + m4 and m2 = m3 + m5. If the operation + is also commutative, we say that M is a commutative MVS. The operation + induces the relations E and ⊳ in M defined by setting m1 E m2 if there is m3 ∈ M such that m1 + m3 = m2 and m1 ⊳ m2 if there is ∗ m3 ∈ M such that m1 + m3 = m2. We say that M is atom-free if M is commutative and for every m ∈ M∗ there exists n ∈ M∗ such that n ⊳ m. We say that M is strictly atom-free if M is commutative and for every m ∈ M∗ there exists n ∈ M∗ such that n ⊳ m ⋪ n. A quasimetric function f is a map f: X × X M from the square of a set X to an MVS M that satisfies the following conditions:→ (f1) f(x, z) E f(x, y)+ f(y, z) for every x, y, z ∈ X (triangle inequality).

    INVERSE LIMITS OF RINGS AND MULTIPLIER RINGS GERT K. PEDERSEN & FRANCESC PERERA Abstract. It is proved that the exchange property, the Bass stable rank and the quasi-Bass property are all preserved under surjective inverse limits. This is then applied to multiplier rings by showing that these in many cases can be obtained as inverse limits. Introduction Given a sequence (Rn) of rings with connecting morphisms (i.e. ring homomorphisms) πn : Rn → Rn−1 for all n (setting R0 = R1 and π1 = id) we define the inverse limit as the ring lim R of strings x =(x ) in R , i.e. sequences such that π (x )= x − for all n. For ←− n n Q n n n n 1 each m there is a natural morphism ρ : lim R → R (the coordinate evaluation) obtained m ←− n m by evaluating a string x = (xn) at m, and we see that πn ◦ ρn = ρn−1 for every n. The ring R = lim R has the universal property that for each coherent sequence of morphisms ←− n σn : S → Rn from a ring S (i.e. πn ◦σn = σn−1 for all n) there is a unique morphism σ : S → R such that σn = ρn ◦ σ for all n. If for each m we let S = ρ (lim R ) ⊂ R , then π (S ) = S − and lim R = lim S . m m ←− n m n n n 1 ←− n ←− n This shows that every ring which can be obtained as an inverse limit can also be obtained as an inverse limit in which each morphism πn is surjective.
