Abstract

The initial part of this paper is devoted to the notion of pseudo-seminorm on a vector space $E$. We prove that the topology of every topological vector space is defined by a family of pseudo-seminorms (and so, as it is known, it is uniformizable). Then we devote ourselves to the Lipschitz vector structures on $E$, that is those Lipschitz structures on $E$ for which the addition is a Lipschitz map, while the scalar multiplication is a locally Lipschitz map, and we prove that any topological vector structure on $E$ is associated to some Lipschitz vector structure. Afterwards, we attend to the bornological Lipschitz maps. The final part of the article is devoted to the Lipschitz vector structures compatible with locally convex topologies on $E$.

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.
