Abstract

We give a new answer to so-called realization problems of graphs as Reeb graphs of smooth functions with prescribed preimages of regular values having nice structures. We present a best possible answer for functions on 3-dimensional closed manifolds. The Reeb space of a smooth function is the quotient space of the manifold of the domain induced from the following equivalence relation; two points in the manifold are equivalent if and only if they are points of a same connected component of some preimage. They are in considerable cases graphs (Reeb graphs). Reeb spaces with preimages represent the manifolds well and are important tools in geometry. Recently they play important roles in applications of mathematics such as visualizations. Realization problems ask us whether we can construct smooth functions with prescribed Reeb graphs and preimages. Studies on construction respecting preimages were essentially started by the author.

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.

Exponentiable Objects and Function spaces in Lowen Fuzzy Topological Spaces

We study exponentiable objects and function spaces in the category of stratified Lowen fuzzy topological spaces over $\I=[0,1]$. Using the Lowen fuzzy Sierpiński object $\Sier$, which identifies $τ_X$ with $C(X,\Sier)$, we explicitly determine the largest splitting topology on this mapping set. Its open weights $Φ:τ_X\to\I$ are precisely those satisfying Scott continuity and a finite-tier compatibility condition induced by finite powers of $\Sier$. This yields an intrinsic characterization: $X$ is exponentiable if and only if every $μ\inτ_X$ satisfies \[ μ=\bigvee_{λ\triangleleftΦ} (\const{Φ(μ)}\wedgeλ), \qquad λ\triangleleftΦ \Longleftrightarrow \const{Φ(ν)}\wedgeλ\leqν \quad(ν\inτ_X). \] When this condition holds, $Y^X$ has underlying set $C(X,Y)$, with topology generated by $[Φ,v](f)=Φ(v\circ f)$. We also obtain a dual closed-set formulation and three applications. Exponentiability implies that $τ_X$ is a continuous lattice, although the converse fails. Moreover, a classical space $X$ is exponentiable exactly when its induced fuzzy space $ωX$ is exponentiable in the entire stratified Lowen category. Finally, Lowen compact, strongly fuzzy compact, and $N$-compact Hausdorff spaces are exponentiable.

Super calibers in topological spaces and topological hyperspaces

We study the notion of a super caliber of a topological space, which is closely related to the classical notion of caliber and has appeared in the literature under several different names. We collect and unify several known results and establish new results concerning the collections of super calibers of topological spaces and their hyperspaces. In particular, we investigate the relationship between the super calibers of a space $X$ and those of hyperspaces $\mathcal{H}(X)$ lying between $\mathrm{CL}(X)$ and $\mathcal{F}(X)$. For infinite metrizable spaces, we characterize several cases in which $\mathsf{SC}(X)$ and $\mathsf{SC}(\mathrm{CL}(X))$ differ and establish an independence result over \textsf{ZFC}; see Theorem~5.12.
