Calibers of canonical hyperconnected spaces and their Vietoris hyperspaces

Abstract

For infinite cardinals $λ\leq κ$, we calculate the calibers of topological spaces $X$ of cardinality $κ$ whose open sets are the subsets $A$ satisfying $|X \setminus A| < λ$. We also prove that the set of calibers of $X$ coincides with the set of calibers of the Vietoris hyperspace $\mathcal{H}(X)$, where the space $\mathcal{H}(X)$ has as its underlying set a collection of subsets of $X$ that includes all its finite subsets and is contained within the collection of its closed subsets.

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.

Singular Submodules of Abelian Groups over Their Endomorphism Rings

Let $A$ be an abelian group and $E=\Endo_{\Z}(A)$. We give a module-theoretic description of the singular $E$-submodules asked for in Fuchs' Problem~1.2. For a unital ring $R$ and a left $R$-module $M$, put $W=I_R({}_RR)\oplus I_R(M)$ and $J=\Jaco(\Endo_R(W))$, and let $u$ be the image of $1_R$. The classical essential-kernel criterion yields \[ Z_R(M)=M\cap Ju. \] For $R=E$ and $M=A$, all singular submodules are therefore the $E$-submodules of $A\cap Ju$. Writing $T=t(A)$ and $B=A/T$, we prove a torsion-transfer formula, identify the torsion part as $\bigoplus_p pT_p$, and describe simultaneous prime lifting by a canonical obstruction. The resulting extension gives an $\Extt/\Homm$ parametrization of all singular submodules. We obtain explicit formulas for torsion groups and for $\Z(p^\infty)\oplus B$ with $B$ torsion-free; in the latter case the fully invariant subgroup lattice of $B$ occurs as an interval. The general description retains the induced endomorphism action and extension data, rather than giving a classification by classical group invariants.

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 $τ$.
