A subbase property for describing edge-end spaces

Abstract

In a previous joint work with Aurichi and Magalhães Jr., we showed that the topological spaces arising from the edge-end structure of infinite graphs define a proper subfamily of those obtained through the well-known (vertex-)ends. This result was later recovered by a more general approach due to Pitz, who also stated the problem of finding a purely topological characterization for the class of edge-end spaces. His question reads as an edge-related version of a similar conjecture posed by Diestel in 1992, but there regarding the usual end structure of infinite graphs and which was recently answered also by Pitz via the existence of a suitable clopen subbase. This paper shows how an extra intersection property can be combined with his solution in order to restrict it to the edge-end spaces, hence stating a topological description for this later family as well.

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.
