Abstract

A space is ESLC if it contains neither an $S$-space nor an $L$-space, and NFS is the class of spaces containing no free sequences of length $ω_1$. We prove that under $\mathrm{MA}(ω_1)$, if all finite powers of $X$ belong to NFS, then $C_p(X)^ω$ is ESLC; thus, for subspaces of $C_p(X)$, hereditary Lindelöfness, hereditary separability and countable spread coincide. This is derived from a dual form of a theorem of Todorčević. A Lindelöf $Σ$-space belongs to NFS if and only if its compact subspaces have countable tightness. Hence $C_p(X)$ contains no $L$-spaces if $X$ is a Lindelöf $Σ$-space of countable tightness and $\mathrm{MA}(ω_1)$ holds, or if $X$ is any Lindelöf $Σ$-space and PFA holds. Under $\mathrm{MA}(ω_1)$, all iterated function spaces of Corson compact spaces are ESLC, and in ZFC the space $C_p(X,\{0,1\})$ is ESLC for every zero-dimensional Corson compact space $X$.

Borelness of Moduli Spaces of Metrics Implies Separability

Let $X$ be a metrizable space, and let $\mathrm{Met}(X)$ denote the space of metrics compatible with the topology of $X$, regarded as a subspace of the space of continuous pseudometrics with the topology induced by the supremum metric. We first prove that if $Z$ is a discrete space whose cardinality is the first uncountable cardinal, then $\mathrm{Met}(Z)$ is not Borel. As a consequence, if $\mathrm{Met}(X)$ is Borel, then $X$ is separable. Combined with a theorem of Koshino, our result yields that the space of bounded compatible metrics on a metrizable space $X$ is completely metrizable if and only if $X$ is $σ$-compact. We also establish non-Archimedean analogues for spaces of ultrametrics. We further prove componentwise versions of these results, where two metrics belong to the same component if their distance is finite.

Four problems about the irreducible determined $T_0$-topologies

We answer four questions on irreducible determined $T_0$-topologies and a related question on monotone determined topologies posed by Xu, Yang and Luo (Topology Appl.\ 382 (2026), 109762). For every $T_0$ topology $τ$, the family $τ_r$ used to define its irreducible-derived topology is already a topology and preserves all nonempty irreducible subsets and their closures. Consequently, the least irreducible determined refinement is obtained in one step: $τ_r=\rd(τ)=\Rd(τ)$. For an arbitrary poset $P$, we describe the weakest order-compatible irreducible determined topology $ρ(P)$ using Dedekind--MacNeille cuts and a finite-cover condition involving principal lower sets. The Scott space of the binary-prefix domain provides a common counterexample to saturated heredity for irreducible determined spaces and monotone determined spaces: its maximal-point subspace is Cantor space. We also describe $ρ(P)$-closure by iterating an irreducible-cut operator, characterize Scott continuity of this operator, and give an example requiring two applications of the cut operator. A finite-decomposition condition extends the topology and closure-preservation results to general subset systems. For the Rudin and well-filtered determined systems, we exhibit a common $T_1$ example whose first and second derived topologies are the co-countable and discrete topologies, respectively. Thus the first derived topology need not be determined by the same subset system.

Separately continuous maps into regular spaces and continuity of operations in separable semitopological groups

A space is feebly compact if every locally finite family of nonempty open subsets of it is finite; a Tychonoff space is feebly compact if and only if it is pseudocompact. M. Tkachenko asked whether a regular feebly compact semitopological group is a topological group provided that it is separable, has countable tightness, or is a $k$-space; for Tychonoff groups the answer is known to be positive. We answer this question in the separable case: every regular separable feebly compact semitopological group is a topological group. The proof is based on the following result: if $X$ is a separable Baire space, $Y$ is a feebly compact space and $Z$ is a regular space, then every separately continuous map $X\times Y\to Z$ is strongly quasicontinuous. Unlike the known approaches for Tychonoff spaces, the proof does not use real-valued functions. More generally, every regular separable semitopological group which is $Γ^{BM}_o$-nonmeager, a Baire-type property defined by a modification of the Banach-Mazur game, is a topological group. This class of groups contains all regular separable Baire groups which are feebly $p$-spaces; feebly $p$-spaces form a wider class of spaces, which contains all feebly compact spaces and all $p$-spaces. The results remain valid for spaces satisfying the assumptions locally. In particular, every regular locally separable locally feebly compact semitopological group is a topological group.
