Group topologies coarser than the Isbell topology

2011

Abstract The Isbell, compact-open and point-open topologies on the set C ( X , R ) of continuous real-valued maps can be represented as the dual topologies with respect to some collections α ( X ) of compact families of open subsets of a topological space X . Those α ( X ) for which addition is jointly continuous at the zero function in C α ( X , R ) are characterized, and sufficient conditions for translations to be continuous are found. As a result, collections α ( X ) for which C α ( X , R ) is a topological vector space are defined canonically. The Isbell topology coincides with this vector space topology if and only if X is infraconsonant. Examples based on measure theoretic methods, t…

Categorically algebraic topology versus universal topology

2013

This paper continues to develop the theory of categorically algebraic (catalg) topology, introduced as a common framework for the majority of the existing many-valued topological settings, to provide convenient means of interaction between different approaches. Motivated by the results of universal topology of H. Herrlich, we show that a concrete category is fibre-small and topological if and only if it is concretely isomorphic to a subcategory of a category of catalg topological structures, which is definable by topological co-axioms.

K-theory of function rings

1990

AbstractThe ring R of continuous functions on a compact topological space Xwith values in R or C is considered. It is shown that the algebraic K-theory of such rings with coefficients in ZkZ, k any positive integer, agrees with the topological K-theory of the underlying space X with the same coefficient rings. The proof is based on the result that the map from Rδ (R with discrete topology) to R (R with compact-open topology) induces a natural isomorphism between the homologies with coefficients in ZkZ of the classifying spaces of the respective infinite general linear groups. Some remarks on the situation with X not compact are added.

When is the Haar measure a Pietsch measure for nonlinear mappings?

2012

We show that, as in the linear case, the normalized Haar measure on a compact topological group $G$ is a Pietsch measure for nonlinear summing mappings on closed translation invariant subspaces of $C(G)$. This answers a question posed to the authors by J. Diestel. We also show that our result applies to several well-studied classes of nonlinear summing mappings. In the final section some problems are proposed.

Existentially closed locally cofinite groups

1992

Let be a class of finite groups. Then a c-group shall be a topological group which has a fundamental system of open neighbourhoods of the identity consisting of normal subgroups with -factor groups and trivial intersection. In this note we study groups which are existentially closed (e.c.) with respect to the class Lc of all direct limits of c-groups (where satisfies certain closure properties). We show that the so-called locally closed normal subgroups of an e.c. Lc-group are totally ordered via inclusion. Moreover it turns out that every ∀2-sentence, which is true for countable e.c. L-groups, also holds for e.c. Lc-groups. This allows it to transfer many known properties from e.c. L-group…

Isometrically Homogeneous and Topologically Homogeneous Continua

2016

Based on the past study of homogeneous continua, this paper concludes that compact connected metric topological groups and isometrically homogeneous continua fall into the following three mutually disjoint classes: (1) indecomposable; (2) aposyndetic and semi-indecomposable; (3) mutually aposyndetic. Among all continua these are special classes with members having extremal properties. Indecomposable isometrically homogeneous continua are characterized as solenoids, and one-dimensional isometrically homogeneous continua are characterized as solenoids or circles. It is shown that path connected isometrically homogeneous continua are locally connected.

A Survey on Just-Non-X Groups

2010

Let be a class of groups. A group which does not belong to but all of whose proper quotient groups belong to is called just-non- group. The present note is a survey of recent results on the topic with a special attention to topological groups.

Probability of mutually commuting n-tuples in some classes of compact groups

2008

In finite groups the probability that two randomly chosen elements commute or randomly ordered n−tuples of elements mutually commute have recently attracted interest by many authors. There are some classical results estimating the bounds for this kind of probability so that the knowledge of the whole structure of the group can be more accurate. The same problematic has been recently extended to certain classes of infinite compact groups in [2], obtaining restrictions on the group of the inner automorphisms. Here such restrictions are improved for a wider class of infinite compact groups.

Categorical foundations of variety-based topology and topological systems

2012

The paper considers a new approach to fuzzy topology based on the concept of variety and developed in the framework of topological theories resembling those of Rodabaugh. As a result, a categorical generalization of the notion of topological system of Vickers is obtained, and its theory unfolded, which clarifies the relations between algebra and topology. We also justify the use of semi-quantales as the basic underlying structure for doing lattice-valued topology as well as provide a categorical framework incorporating the theory of bitopological spaces.
