Another homogeneous, non-bihomogeneous Peano continuum
math.GN
K. Kuperberg found a locally connected, finite-dimensional continuum which is homogeneous but not bihomogeneous. We give a similar but simpler example. Like previous constructions, the example is locally a Cartesian product of Menger spaces. The new idea is to choose a fundamental group in which not every element is co...

More on sg-compact spaces

What is supertopology?
math.GN
We discuss the problem of finding an analogue of the concept of a topological space in supergeometry, motivated by a search for a procedure to compactify a supermanifold along odd coordinates. In particular, we examine the topologies naturally arising on the sets of points of locally ringed superspaces, and show that i...

Nonstandard proofs of Eggleston like theorems
math.GN
We prove theorems of the following form: if $A\subseteq {\mathbb R}^2$ is a big set, then there exists a big set $P\subseteq {\mathbb R}$ and a perfect set $Q\subseteq {\mathbb R}$ such that $P\times Q\subseteq A$. We discuss cases where big set means: set of positive Lebesgue measure, set of full Lebesgue measure, Bai...

Concerning the dual group of a dense subgroup
math.GN
Throughout this Abstract, $G$ is a topological Abelian group and $\hat{G}$ is the space of continuous homomorphisms from $G$ into $T$ in the compact-open topology. A dense subgroup $D$ of $G$ determines $G$ if the (necessarily continuous) surjective isomorphism $\hat{G} \twoheadrightarrow \hat{D}$ given by $h\mapsto h|...

The Locally Fine Coreflection and Normal Covers in the Products of Partition-complete Spaces
math.GN
We prove that the countable product of supercomplete spaces having a countable closed cover consisting of partition-complete subspaces is supercomplete with respect to its metric-fine coreflection. Thus, countable products of sigma-partition-complete paracompact spaces are again paracompact. On the other hand, we show ...

Locales, the locally fine construction and formal spaces
math.GN
We investigate the connection between the spatiality of locale products and the earlier studies of the author on the locally fine coreflection of the products of uniform spaces. After giving a historical introduction and indicating the connection between spatiality and the locally fine construction, we indicate how the...

On finite-dimensional maps
math.GN
Let $f\colon X\to Y$ be a perfect surjective map of metrizable spaces. It is shown that if $Y$ is a $C$-space (resp., $\dim Y\leq n$ and $\dim f\leq m$), then the function space $C(X,\uin^{\infty})$ (resp., $C(X,\uin^{2n+1+m})$) equipped with the source limitation topology contains a dense $G_{\delta}$-set $\mathcal{H}...

On finite-to-one maps
math.GN
Let $f\colon X\to Y$ be a $\sigma$-perfect $k$-dimensional surjective map of metrizable spaces such that $\dim Y\leq m$. It is shown that, for every positive integer $p\geq 1$ there exists a dense $G_{\delta}$-subset ${\mathcal H}(k,m,p)$ of $C(X,\uin^{k+p})$ with the source limitation topology such that if $g\in{\math...

Partitions of unity
math.GN
The paper contains an exposition of part of topology using partitions of unity. The main idea is to create variants of the Tietze Extension Theorem and use them to derive classical theorems. This idea leads to a new result generalizing major results on paracompactness (Stone Theorem and Tamano Theorem), a result which ...

Approximation of k-dimensional maps
math.GN
In this paper we prove the equivalence of the questions of B.A. Pasynkov and V.V. Uspenskij. We also get some partial results answering these questions in affirmative. As a corollary to these results we get an extention of the Hurewicz formula to the extensional dimension.

Extraordinary dimension theories generated by complexes
math.GN
We study the extraordinary dimension function dim_{L} introduced by \v{S}\v{c}epin. An axiomatic characterization of this dimension function is obtained. We also introduce inductive dimensions ind_{L} and Ind_{L} and prove that for separable metrizable spaces all three coincide. Several results such as characterization...
