Abstract

We call a function $f$ in $C(X)$ to be hard-bounded if $f$ is bounded on every hard subset, a special kind of closed subset, of $X$. We call a subset $T$ of $X$ to be $S$-embedded if every hard-bounded continuous function of $T$ can be continuously extended upto $X$. Every $S$-embedded subset is $C^*$-embedded. In this paper we have given a characterization of the converse part. To get the converse, we came across a type of function which are bounded away from zero on every hard subset of a subset. We further studied few properties of this type of functions and also of hard-bounded functions.

The circle as a topological fractal

We prove that no family of two continuous self-maps witnesses that the circle is a topological fractal, answering a question of Karasová and the present author. Since three maps are known to suffice, this bound is optimal. In contrast, for every $\varepsilon>0$ there are two continuous self-maps of the circle, depending on $\varepsilon$, whose images cover the circle and an integer $N$ such that every composition of $N$ of them has image of diameter less than $\varepsilon$. Thus two maps suffice at any prescribed scale, but no fixed pair works at all scales.

Finite-Point Metrizable Coarsenings: Compatible Gauges, Simplicial Metrics, and Hausdorff Lower Bounds

Let $(X,τ)$ be metrizable and let $F=\{a_1,\ldots,a_k\}\subseteq X$, where $2\le k<\infty$. We represent all metrizable topologies $σ\subseteqτ$ agreeing with $τ$ on $X\setminus F$ by compatible systems of continuous gauges $s_i:X\to[0,1]$ with $s_i^{-1}(0)=\{a_i\}$. The condition $\inf_X\max\{s_i,s_j\}>0$ for $i\ne j$ is equivalent to both Hausdorffness and metrizability of the prescribed gauge topology. A normalized product map into the standard simplex gives an explicit metric; its triangle inequality follows from a simplex slack inequality. This metric is complete whenever the auxiliary bounded compatible metric is complete. For two compatible systems, their coordinatewise minimum describes the intersection topology. It is compatible exactly when the two coarsenings have a common Hausdorff lower bound; in that case the intersection is metrizable and is their meet. Otherwise every common lower topology is non-Hausdorff. A closed-discrete construction produces such an obstructed pair for every noncompact metrizable space and every finite exceptional set with at least two points. Consequently, for these exceptional sets, the family is downward directed, or is a lattice, if and only if $(X,τ)$ is compact, in which case it consists only of $τ$.

Journey into special $T_1$-spaces

In this survey, we review certain types of special \(T_{1}\) spaces and their associated fixed-point theorems. Kupka introduced the notion of a feeble topological contraction, which naturally generalizes Lipschitz contractions defined on metric spaces. Specifically, Kupka established a fixed-point theorem for feeble topological contractions possessing a closed graph within the product of arbitrary \(T_{0}\) spaces. Furthermore, the \(T_{1}\) separation axiom is shown to guaranty the uniqueness of such fixed points. Finally, we discuss peripheral Hausdorff and locally Hausdorff spaces within the context of these fixed-point results.
