Abstract

Hereditary coreflective subcategories of an epireflective subcategory A of Top such that I_2\notin A (here I_2 is the 2-point indiscrete space) were studied in [C]. It was shown that a coreflective subcategory B of A is hereditary (closed under the formation of subspaces) if and only if it is closed under the formation of prime factors. The main problem studied in this paper is the question whether this claim remains true if we study the (more general) subcategories of A which are closed under topological sums and quotients in A instead of the coreflective subcategories of A. We show that this is true if A \subseteq Haus or under some reasonable conditions on B. E.g., this holds if B contains either a prime space, or a space which is not locally connected, or a totally disconnected space or a non-discrete Hausdorff space. We touch also other questions related to such subclasses of A. We introduce a method extending the results from the case of non-bireflective subcategories (which was studied in [C]) to arbitrary epireflective subcategories of Top. We also prove some new facts about the lattice of coreflective subcategories of Top and ZD. [C] J. Činčura: Heredity and coreflective subcategories of the category of topological spaces. Appl. Categ.

Three Problems on Separable Quotients of Precompact Abelian Groups

We address three problems on separable quotients of topological groups posed by Leiderman, Morris, and Tkachenko in \cite{LMT} published on Israel Journal of Mathematics. First, we construct in ZFC a connected Baire Pontryagin-reflexive dense subgroup of $\T^{\cc}$ whose countable subgroups are $h$-embedded and whose uncountable subgroups are dense. Its underlying abstract group is the circle group, and all its compact subsets are finite. Second, we construct a zero-dimensional Baire Pontryagin-reflexive example with the same subgroup properties whose underlying group is free abelian of rank $\cc$. Both examples have no nontrivial separable Hausdorff quotient. Third, for the group constructed in their Theorem~3.5, we determine every closed subgroup of every finite power up to an integral change of coordinates and prove that every countable subgroup of every Hausdorff quotient of a finite power is $h$-embedded and closed. The same conclusions hold for our free Baire reflexive example. These results answer Problem~1.25 negatively, Problem~3.12 affirmatively and realize all three regularity properties in Problem~3.14 simultaneously in \cite{LMT}.

Topological Vector Group Topologies Between the Minimal Topology and the Usual Topology on the Real Line

For every positive sequence that tends to zero faster than every fixed exponential, we construct a Hausdorff topological Vector Group topology on the additive group of real numbers. It lies strictly between the minimal Hausdorff topological Vector Group topology and the usual topology. The construction is illustrated by factorial powers, quadratic exponential decay, and prime radicals divided by a quadratic exponential. We also record a finite scalar covering criterion for comparing two such topologies.

Sobriety of Scott topologies under countability conditions

In this paper, we focus on the sobriety of the Scott topology in countable case. Specifically, we show that: (1) every meet-continuous core-compact countable dcpo is sober with respect to the Scott topology; (2)every countable locally compact dcpo is sober endowed with the Scott topology; (3) the lattice of all open sets for the rational numbers space Q equipped with the Scott topology is not sober.
