ICTM2015 International Conference on Topology, Messina September 7 - 11, 2015 http://mat521.unime.it/ictm2015 Villa Pace, Messina University On the occasion of Filippo Cammaroto’s 65th Birthday BOOK OF ABSTRACTS PRIMAL SPACES AND QUASIHOMEOMORPHISMS HAOUATI AFEF AND SAMI LAZAAR? Abstract. In his paper ”the categories of flows of Set and Top”, O.Echi has introduced the notion of primal spaces. The present paper is devoted to shedding some light on relations between quasihomeomorphisms and primal spaces. Given a quasihomeomorphism q : X → Y , where X and Y are principal spaces, we are concerned specifically with a main problem: what additional conditions have to be imposed on q in order to render X (resp.Y ) primal when Y (resp.X) is primal.

MPGU and MGU, Moscow, Russian Federation Abstract All spaces under consideration are assumed to be Tychonoff topological spaces. We discuss how much we know about the structure of topological spaces X which can be represented as the union of a not too large collection of subspaces with a certain nice property. In particular, we consider finite unions of subspaces with the weight ≤ τ , finite unions of subspaces with a point-countable base, and finite unions of metrizable subspaces. As a corollary of this approach, the classical A.S. Mischenko’s Theorem on metrizability of compacta with a point-countable base [10] has been extended in [1] to finite unions in the following way: Theorem 0.1. Suppose that X is a countably compact space such that X = ∪{Mi : i = 1, ..., n}, where each Mi is a space with a pointcountable base. Then X = ∪{Fi : i = 1, ..., n}, where each Fi is closed in X, Fi ⊂ Fi+1 for i = 1, ..., n − 1, and each of the spaces F1 , F2 \ F1 , ..., Fn \ Fn−1 is metrizable and locally compact. Of course, the finite unions of metrizable subspaces are of special interest. See in this connection [5], [6], [11], [7], [8]. For example, M.E. Rudin has shown that every compact space which is the union of two metrizable subspaces is an Eberlein compactum (see [9]). Notice that a compactum which is the union of three metrizable subspaces needn’t be an Eberlein compactum or a Corson compactum. Recently, it has been shown that the case of finite unions of dense metrizable subspaces deserves particular attention [2], [1], [3]. Again, spaces of this kind needn’t be metrizable. However, all of them are easily seen to have a σ-disjoint base. Hence, if a compact space X is the union of a finite family of dense metrizable subspaces, then X is metrizable, by Mischenko’s Theorem. However, Mischenko’s Theorem 1 does not generalize to Lindel´’of spaces: there exists a non-metrizable Lindelöf space with a σ-disjoint base, - just take the version of the Michael line generated by a Bernstein subset of the space of real numbers. This space is the union of two metrizable subspaces. However, it is less easy to answer the question posed by M.V. Matveev: does there exist a non-metrizable Lindelöf space X such that X = Y ∪ Z, where Y and Z are dense metrizable subspaces of X? A space X is pseudo-ω1 -compact, if for every uncountable family ξ = {Uα : α ∈ A} of nonempty open subsets of X there exists x ∈ X such that every neighbourhood of x intersects Uα for infinitely many α ∈ A. Clearly, every Lindelöf space is pseudo-ω1 -compact. Every pseudocompact space is also pseudo-ω1 -compact. Theorem 0.2. Suppose that a pseudo-ω1 -compact space X is the union of a finite family µ of dense metrizable subspaces of X. Then X is separable and metrizable. Corollary 0.3. If a Lindel´’of space X is the union of a finite family µ of dense metrizable subspaces, then X is separable and metrizable. Corollary 0.4. If a pseudocompact space X is the union of a finite family µ of dense metrizable subspaces, then X is separable and metrizable. The last three statements have been recently obtained in [2]. See [4][Theorem 2.15] for yet another result of similar nature on dense unions. Problem 0.5. Must a space X be Dieudonné complete if it can be represented as the union of two (of finitely many) dense metrizable subspaces? This question has been posed in [2]. References [1] A.V.

Arutyunov Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology [email protected] This report is dedicated to get the theory of differentional and pseudodifferentional operators, which act on a noncompact manifold. The main idea is to research an isomorphism whict reduce functions on some types of noncompact manifolds to elements of space which is equivallent to the smooth sections of stratification. The stratification is received as a factor-space of cocompact action of the group. Λ : f (z) → X γf (γz) γ∈Γ So, we get a function which acts from compact factor-manifold to groupalgebra. The main idea of the following construction is to find all derivations – linear operators which consider to D(f g) = D(f )g + f D(g). And to define the order of such operators as a composite order as a РґРӨРҸР№Р¤РғРђРӕ of number of derivations and the length of commutator in the coefficent. For 1 example the operator A, given by formula A = [U, V ]D, where D – is a derivation and U , V – is a quaziperiodic functions is an operator of zero-order. Intresting example is acting of Fouks-groups on hyperbolic spaces and other manifolds where noncompact groups act. Classificitators: 2 [35S05], [35S99]. 3 A game for Gδ -diagonal spaces. Leandro Aurichi Department of Mathematics, Sao Paulo University, Brazil [email protected] Based on a result of Ceder, we present a selection principle that characterizes spaces which have the Gδ -diagonal property. Then we work with the related game and obtain a broader class. Some results and examples are also given. This is a joint work with D. A. Lara. 1 Intersection of a set with a hyperplane M. V. Balashov Department of Higher Mathematics, Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (state university) email: [email protected] Abstract In the present report we consider the set-valued mapping whose images are intersections of a fixed closed convex bounded set A with nonempty interior from a real Hilbert space with shifts of a closed linear subspace L: \ A 3 x → F (x) = A (L + x) . We characterize such strictly convex sets in the Hilbert space, that the considered set-valued mapping F is Hölder continuous with the power 12 in the Hausdorff metric. We also consider the question about intersections of a fixed uniformly convex set [1] with shifts of a closed linear subspace. We prove that the modulus of continuity of the setvalued mapping in this case is the inverse function to the modulus of uniform convexity [2, Theorem 3.1] and vise versa: the modulus of uniform convexity of the set is the inverse function to the modulus of continuity of the set-values mapping.

This represent a survey on two articles wrote by the author jointed with F. Cammaroto and J. Porter. Following the best-known Arhangel’skiı̆’s inequality for Hausdorff spaces |X| ≤ 2L(X)χ(X) (1969 - [1]), it is showed that |X| ≤ 2aLψc (X) (2013 [3]). Similarly, following the best-known Bella-Cammaroto’s inequality for Urysohn spaces |X| ≤ 2aL(X)χ(X) (1988 - [2]), it is proved that |X| ≤ 2aLψ(X) (2013 - [4]). References [1] A.V.

In that case the evaluation mapping L(G) −→ G, φ 7−→ φ(1) is continuous and it is called the exponential function expG . The elements of im expG are those lying on one–parameter subgroups, and G is the union of its one–parameter subgroups if and only if expG is onto. It is well known that this happens for example when G is a locally compact arc–connected abelian group. We find new classes of abelian groups for which the corestriction of expG into the arc–component of the group G is surjective and open. References [1] L. Außenhofer, M. J. Chasco, X. Domı́nguez.

Recently new bitopological notions of τ1,2 open sets and τ1,2 -closed sets have been introduced . Further the extended bitopological space is initiated and characterized their properties by Lellis Thivagar et al. Also in 1974, Dube et al introduced some more separation axioms RY , RY S and RD , which are weaker than R0 . . In this paper, we introduce some new separation axioms by using (1, 2)∗ -α-open sets, (1, 2)∗ -semi-open sets, (1, 2)∗ -pre-open sets in extended bitopological ultra spaces called as Ultra+ -Ri , Ultra+ semi-Ri (i= 0,1) Ultra+ -RD , Ultra+ -RT and Ultra+ -RY S -spaces and we develop some more weak separation axioms of R0 . Further we derive its various properties and relation between other existing spaces. The most of the results in this paper can be extended to Digital Topology.

This represents a generalization of a result given in A.V. Arhangel’skii and J.van Mill, On topological groups with a first-countable remainder, Top. Proc. 42 (2013), 157–163. We also show that this estimate is the best possible by constructing a non-metrizable non locally compact topological group with a remainder of character κ.

Chandra began to study the notion of an ideal quasi-normal convergence and some topological notions defined by this convergence. We show that several properties of so introduced notions depend on the ideal and sometimes, they are also equivalent to some important property of the ideal. Moreover, we show non-trivial cases when the new notion introduced by the ideal quasi-normal convergence is equivalent to the corresponding original notion. Some relations between introduced notions for different ideals are investigated as well. We also investigate certain characterizations involving selection principles of function spaces and also certain types of open covers.

Dias Instituto de Matemática e Estatı́stica, Universidade de São Paulo [email protected] Abstract Motivated by the work [2], in which productivity of countable tightness is related to countable strong fan tightness and its game version G1 (Ωp , Ωp ), we study variations of this game in which the second player is allowed to pick, in each inning, a finite number of points that has been fixed in advance. If this finite number is k > 0, we denote the corresponding game by Gk (Ωp , Ωp ). Our main result is that, for each k ∈ N, the games Gk (Ωp , Ωp ) and Gk+1 (Ωp , Ωp ) are distinct — although all of the selective properties Sk (Ωp , Ωp ) for k ∈ N are equivalent. We also investigate how these games relate to other variations with finitely many selections, such as Gf (Ωp , Ωp ) — in which the second player may pick f (n) points in the n-th inning, for some f ∈ ω ω fixed in advance — and Gfin (Ωp , Ωp ).

R is a set of all real numbers, Y is a Banach space, f (t) is an abstract function from R into Y, and f 0 (t) is a derivative of f (t). An function f (t) is a compact, if the range of f (t) is relatively compact in Y. fs (t) = fs (t + s) is a translation, when s is a number, while in the case a = an is a sequence, then fa (t) is a pointwise limit (if the latter exists) of the sequence f (t + an ). It is well known that a uniform continuity of the derivative of an almost automorphic (almost periodic) function [2] guarantees the a.a. (a.p.) derivative. Author reduces the requirement of the uniform continuity of the derivative, [3]. In this paper we propose other requirements, which ensure the a.a.(a.p.) derivative. The following basic theorems are formulated. Theorem 1. Let function f (t) be a.a. and f 0 (t) exists and it is a compact. The derivative f 0 (t) is a.a. if and only if, when [fa (t)]0 = [f 0 (t)]a for every sequence a = an (in the case fa (t) exists). Theorem 2. Let function f (t) be a.p. and f 0 (t) exists and it is continuous and compact. The derivative f 0 (t) is a.p. if and only if, when [fa (t)]0 = [f 0 (t)]a for every sequence a = an (in the case fa (t) exists). References [1] Levitan B.M., Almost-Periodic Functions. Moscow, 1953.

Ohridski” University of Sofia Coauthor: Dimiter Vakarelov The celebrated Stone Duality Theorem [St] states that the category Bool of all Boolean algebras and Boolean homomorphisms is dually equivalent to the category Stone of compact Hausdorff totally disconnected spaces and continuous maps. The restriction of the Stone duality to the category CBool of complete Boolean algebras and Boolean homomorphisms is a duality between the category CBool and the category of compact Hausdorff extremally disconnected spaces and continuous maps. We introduce the notion of a Stone 2-space and the category 2-Stone of Stone 2-spaces and suitable morphisms between them, and we show that the category 2-Stone is dually equivalent to the category Bool. The Stone 2-spaces are pairs (X, X0 ) of a compact connected T0 -space X and a dense subspace X0 of X, satisfying some mild conditions. We introduce as well the notion of an extremally connected space and show that the category ECS of extremally connected spaces and continuous maps between them satisfying a natural condition, is dually equivalent to the category CBool. The extremally connected space are compact connected T0 -spaces satisfying an additional condition, and the open continuous maps are morphisms of the category ECS. References [St] M. H.

If P is such a collection, then a filter F is called P-fundamental if F ∩ P 6= ∅ for each P ∈ P; a convergence is P-complete if each P-fundamental filter is adherent. The completeness number compl (ξ) of a convergence ξ is the least cardinal such that there exists a collecton of covers P of ξ of that cardinality, for which ξ is-complete. In this setting, a convergence ξ is countably complete if compl (ξ) ≤ ℵ0 (Čech-complete if ξ is a Tikhonov topology), locally relatively compact whenever compl (ξ) < ℵ0 , thus compl (ξ) = 1, compact if compl (ξ) = 0 Conditional completeness (and compactness) with respect to a class H of filters, appears when the requirement of adherence is restricted to fundamental filters from H; for instance, countably compact is conditionally compact with respect to the class F1 of countably based filters, pseudocompleteness of Oxtoby [2] is F1 -conditional countable completeness. In this framework, P-completeness amounts to conditional compactness with respect to P-fundamental filters. This perspective enables one to unify the study of various variants of completeness and compactness, in particular, that of their preservation under operations on convergences. For example, the Tikhonov theorem on compactness of products is an immediate consequence of the following formula for completeness number [1]: Y X compl ξα = compl (ξα ) . α<κ α<κ References [1] S.

Following Van Douwen, a topological space is said to be nodec if it satisfies one of the following equivalent conditions: (i) every nowhere dense subset of X, is closed; (ii) every nowhere dense subset of X, is closed discrete; (iii) every subset containing a dense open subset is open. This paper deals with a characterization of topological spaces X such that F(X) is a nodec space for some covariant functor F from the category Top to itself. T0 , ρ and FH functors are completely studied. Secondly, we characterize maps f given by a flow (X, f ) in the category Set such that (X, P(f )) is nodec (resp., T0 -nodec), where P(f ) is a topology on X whose closed sets are precisely f -invariant sets.

Kiihl∗ Abstract: In this paper we present an overview of the Regular Homotopy Theory for Digraphs, a survey of its main applications and the most recent developments. We show that the o-regular maps introduced by D. C. Demaria coincides with the pre-continuos maps if, in a natural way, we introduce in the class of the digraphs a structure of pre-topological space. We state and present the basic concepts and the fundamental results of this Homotopy Theory. New homotopical concepts and invariants associated to digraphs are stablished and, using these new tools, a new approach to the study of digraphs can be used, specially for the case of tournaments. For the Hamiltonian tournaments we have the concepts of: minimal cycles, cyclic characteristic, neutral and non-neutral vertices. One of the main purpose here is to stablish the properties of these concepts which are important in order to obtain structural characterizations for certain families of tournaments, when they are approached from a homotopical point of view. As some important applications we list some already known results about simply disconnected, normal, Douglas tournaments and Moon tournaments. Then we give a complete study of the Hamiltonian 5-tournaments and 6-tournaments (having the maximal number of non-neutral vertices) in terms of minimal 3-cycles. This has led to the discovery of the construction of the Derived Graph associated to a Hamiltonian tournament. This most recent construction is offering us a powerfull tool to continue our studies on the structural caracterization of certain families of tournaments.

Several conditions under which the compact-open, Isbell or natural topologies on the set of continuous real valued functions on a space may coincide have been studied in [4]. A unified theory of function spaces and hyperspaces has been developed in [2]. In [3], it is shown that intersection of all admissible topologies on C(X, Y ) is admissible under certain conditions. All these research papers are testimony of the keen interest of the researchers in the study of function spaces. In [4], a natural topology on the set of upper semi-continuous setvalued functions has been constructed. Apart from this, there is hardly any discussion of the continuous multi-valued functions in the study of function spaces. But the multi-valued functions are being rigorously studied now a days in several other area of mathematics such as in Optimization, Frame theory, Approximation theory etc. In this paper, we bridge this gap by properly investigating the topological aspects of the function spaces for multifunctions. Starting from the basic level, we define several topologies for continuous multifunctions. Point-open topology, open-open topology, compact-open topology etc are introduced and investigated. Unlike in [1], we have adopted net theoretic approach to discuss continuous convergence for the topology of multifunctions. The net theory for sets are further developed for this purpose. Conditions for splitting (resp. upper and lower splitting) and admissibility (resp. upper and lower admissible) are obtained by using the concept of continuous convergence. The characterizations of admissibility and splitting using net theory as shown in Arens and Dugundji [1] do not hold for multifunctions. Their variants are investigated in our paper. The compact-open topology for multifunctions 1 is upper splitting. While the point-open topology is found to be the coarsest topology which is coordinate wise admissible, it is also the finest topology which is coordinate wise splitting. Several examples are provided to explain the intrinsic differences between the topologies of continuous functions and topologies of continuous multifunctions. References [1] R. Arens, J.

Productivity of coreflective classes of paratopological groups M.Hušek Department of Mathematics, Charles University, Prague email: [email protected] Abstract Coreflective classes C in K (e.g., sequential spaces in K=Top) are usually not productive in K (i.e., some products in K of κ-many spaces from C do not belong to C). If such a least cardinal κ (called productivity number) is uncountable (i.e., C is countably productive) then the coreflective class is productive in some models of set theory for some K. Submeasurable and measurable cardinals play a role in such situations. At first we give a survey on productivity of coreflective classes in topological and uniform spaces, in topological linear and locally convex spaces, in topological groups. Then we show a situation for paratopological groups. For instance: 1. Productivity numbers of bicoreflective and non-productive subcategories of paratopological groups are submeasurable cardinals. 2. Every sequentially continuous homomorphism on a product of paratopological groups into any paratopological group is continuous provided the coordinate spaces are sequential and the cardinality of the index set of the product is non-sequential.

Iliadis Moscow State University (M.V. Lomonosov) [email protected] Let S be a class of topological groups. It is said that a topological group K is universal in this class if (a) K ∈ S and (b) for every X ∈ S, there exists a topological subgroup of K which is topologically isomorphic to X. V.V. Uspenskij (see [4], [5]) proved that in the class of all separable metrizable topological groups there are universal elements. S.A. Shkarin see [3]) proved that in the class of all separable metrizable topological Abelian groups there exists a universal element. Moreover, he proved that, under GCH, for every uncountable cardinal τ in the class of all metrizable topological Abelian groups of weight ≤ τ and in the class of all topological Abelian groups of weight ≤ τ there are universal elements. However, the problems of the existence of universal elements in the class of all topological groups (see Question 2 of [5]) and in the class of all metrizable topological groups (see Problem 4 of [3]) of a given uncountable weight remain open. Using the method of construction of so-called Containing Spaces given in [1], a space of a given weight τ containing continuously the homeomorphic images of all topological groups of weight at most τ , is constructed see [2]. Also, for given cardinals τ and µ, τ ≤ µ, we construct a topological group of character τ and of weight 2µ containing topologically all topological groups of character τ and of weight µ. In particular, If τ = ω, then there exists a metrizable group of weight ≤ 2µ containing topologically all metrizable groups of weight ≤ µ. From the using construction it follows automatically that the above results are hold (without GCH) if all considered groups are Abelian. References [1] S.D.

Ohridski” University of Sofia In 1975, M. M. Choban [Ch] introduced a new topology on the set of all closed subsets of a topological space for obtaining a generalization of the famous Kolmogoroff Theorem on operations on sets. This new topology is similar to the upper Vietoris topology but is weaker than it. In 1998, G. Dimov and D. Vakarelov [DV] used a generalized version of this new topology for proving an isomorphism theorem for the category of all Tarski consequence systems. In this talk we will introduce a new lower-Vietoris-type topology in a way similar to that with which the new upperVietoris-type topology was introduced in [DV]. We will study this new topology and, in particular, we will generalize some results of [CMP]. References [Ch] M. M. Coban, Operations over sets, Sibirsk. Mat. Z. 16 (1975), no. 6, 1332-1351. [CMP] E.

Kiihl∗ Abstract: In this paper we present an overview of the Regular Homotopy Theory for Digraphs, a survey of its main applications and the most recent developments. We show that the o-regular maps introduced by D. C. Demaria coincides with the pre-continuos maps if, in a natural way, we introduce in the class of the digraphs a structure of pre-topological space. We state and present the basic concepts and the fundamental results of this Homotopy Theory. New homotopical concepts and invariants associated to digraphs are stablished and, using these new tools, a new approach to the study of digraphs can be used, specially for the case of tournaments. For the Hamiltonian tournaments we have the concepts of: minimal cycles, cyclic characteristic, neutral and non-neutral vertices. One of the main purpose here is to stablish the properties of these concepts which are important in order to obtain structural characterizations for certain families of tournaments, when they are approached from a homotopical point of view. As some important applications we list some already known results about simply disconnected, normal, Douglas tournaments and Moon tournaments. Then we give a complete study of the Hamiltonian 5-tournaments and 6-tournaments (having the maximal number of non-neutral vertices) in terms of minimal 3-cycles. This has led to the discovery of the construction of the Derived Graph associated to a Hamiltonian tournament. This most recent construction is offering us a powerfull tool to continue our studies on the structural caracterization of certain families of tournaments.

Koceic Bilan Department of Mathematics, University of Split, Croatia email: [email protected]. Abstract The coarse shape groups are new topological invariants which are (coarse) shape and homotopy invariants, as well. Their structure is signi…cantly richer than the structure of shape groups. They provide information (especially, about compacta) even better than the homotopy pro-groups. Since nontrivial coarse shape groups, even for polyhedra, are too large, it is di¢ cult to calculate them exactly. In this talk, we give an explicit formula for computing coarse shape groups of a large class of metric compacta including solenoids. Moreover, we show that every coarse shape group can be obtained as the inverse limit of an inverse system of groups. It is proven that, for inverse systems of compact polyhedra, the coarse shape group functor commutes with the inverse limit. These results provide computing of coarse shape groups in an easier manner. References [1] N. Koceic Bilan. Computing coarse shape groups of solenoids. Math. Commun. 14 (2014), 243-251. [2] N.

A space X has the off-diagonal property P if X 2 \ ∆ has P. A space is said to be δ-normal if any two disjoint closed sets, of which one is a regular Gδ , can be separated by disjoint open sets [1]. A subset G of a topological space is a regular Gδ if it is the intersection of the closures of a countable collection of open sets each of which contains G. A space X is called Fσ -δ-normal if all Fσ -sets in X are δ-normal [2]. It is known that every off-diagonal normal compact space is first-countable [3] and more generally every off-diagonal normal countably compact space is first-countable [4]. Theorem 1. Every off-diagonal Fσ -δ-normal regular countably compact space X is first-countable at every point x in a dense subset of X. In particular, every off-diagonal Fσ -δ-normal dyadic space is metrizable. It is known that if exp(X) is Fσ -δ-normal, then X is a compact space [2]. Here the space exp(X) is the set of all nonempty closed subsets of X with the Vietoris topology. The space exp(ω1 ) is countably compact and hence δ-normal, but ω1 is not compact. Theorem 2. The space exp(ω) is not δ-normal. Theorem 2 is a simultaneous generalization of the next two theorems: the space exp(ω) is not normal [5] and is not countably paracompact [6].

Królicki and Pawel Krupski Mathematical Institute, University of Wroclaw email: [email protected] Abstract A nondegenerate continuum X is said to be a Wilder continuum if for any distinct points x, y, z ∈ X there is a subcontinuum of X containing x and exactly one of the points y, z. We consider Wilder continua in the cube I n , 3 ≤ n ≤ ∞, and their subfamilies: continuumwise Wilder continua, hereditarily arcwise connected continua, aposyndetic or colocally connected continua. The first three collections are coanalytic absorbers in the hyperspace C(I n ) of subcontinua of I n , whereas two last ones are Fσδ -absorbers. 1 Sami Lazaar, Facult of sciences of Gafsa, Tunisia Abstract In the paper published in Topology Proceeding (2008), Lazaar and Echi show that the orthogonal of the category of Tychonoff spaces is exactly the family of all continuous maps orthogonal to the real line R which are ρ-bijective.An interessant question cited in this paper is the following: It is possible to remove the condition ρ-bijective in order to obtain the orthogonality of the category TYCH is exactly the real line orthogonal and consequently an interesting characterization of Tychonoff spaces using orthogonality. A complete answer of this question is given. 1 A metrizable X with Cp(X) not homeomorphic to Cp(X) × Cp(X) Witold Marciszewski University of Warsaw email: [email protected] Abstract We give an example of an infinite metrizable space X such that the space Cp (X) of continuous real-valued functions on X endowed with the pointwise topology, is not homeomorphic to its own square Cp (X)×Cp (X). The space X is a zero-dimensional subspace of the real line. Our result answers a long-standing open question in the theory of function spaces posed by A.V. Arhangel’skii. This is a joint research with Mikolaj Krupski. 1 On inverse limit of self-covering spaces Vlasta Matijević Faculty of science, University of Split email: [email protected] A compact connected Hausdor¤ space Y is called self-covering provided that whenever Y admits a …nite-sheeted covering map f : X ! Y from a connected space X; then X is homeomorphic to Y: Note that; for each n 2 N; the n-torus T n (i.e: the product of n copies of the unit circle S 1 ) is an abelian topological group and a self-covering metric continuum. We consider the following question: Let Y be the inverse limit of an inverse sequence; where each term is a self-covering metric continuum and each bonding map is an open surjection. Is Y a self-covering space ? In order to answer the question we study …nite-sheeted covering maps over compact connected n-dimensional abelian groups Y; where the groups Y are obtained as the inverse limits of inverse sequences where each term is T n and each bonding map is a …nite-sheeted covering homomorphism over T n : Such groups Y are called solenoids for n = 1 and toroids for n = 2: First we show that any solenoid is a self-covering space. However; for each prime p > 2 and a non-quadratic p-adic integer ; we construct a toroid Y ( ) which admits a 4-sheeted covering map f : X ! Y ( ); where X is connected and non-homeomorphic to Y ( ). In this way we answer the question in the negative. This is a joint work with Katsuya Eda. 1 Nonhomogeneity of remainders Jan van Mill University of Amsterdam Coauthor: A. V. Arhangel’skii A space X is homogeneous if for any two points x, y ∈ X there is a homeomorphism h from X onto itself such that h(x) = y. In 1956, Walter Rudin proved that the Čech-Stone remainder βN \ N, where N is the discrete space of positive integers, is not homogeneous under CH. This result was later generalized considerably by Frolı́k who showed in ZFC that βX \ X is not homogeneous, for any nonspeudocompact space X. Van Douwen and Kunen proved many results that are in the same spirit. Hence the study of (non)homogeneity of Čech-Stone remainders has a long history. In this talk we are interested in homogeneity properties of arbitrary remainders of topological spaces. We address the following general problem: when does a space have a homogeneous remainder? If X is locally compact, then the Alexandroff 1-point compactification αX of X has a homogeneous remainder. Hence for locally compact spaces, our question has an obvious answer. If X is not locally compact, however, then it need not have a homogeneous remainder, as the topological sum of the space of rational numbers and the space of irrational numbers shows. Hence we consider questions of the following type: if X is homogeneous, and not locally compact, does X have a homogeneous remainder? We will present several cardinal inequalities for the number of homeomorphisms of a remainder of a nowhere locally compact space. That our bounds are independent, is demonstrated by examples. As an application, it follows that if X is countable and nowhere locally compact, then any remainder of X has at most c homeomorphisms, where c denotes the cardinality of the continuum. From this we get an example of a countable topological group G no remainder of which is homogeneous. We also present an example of a separable metrizable topological group, no remainder of which is homogeneous. 1 Topoloical properties of orbits and orbit spaces of some foliations on manifolds R. Mirzaei Department of Mathematics, I. Kh. International University, Qazvin, Iran email: [email protected], r− [email protected] Abstract Let G × M → M be a differentiable action of a Lie group G on a differentiable manifold M and consider the orbit space M G with the quois called the cohomogeneity of the tient topology. The dimension of M G action of G on M . Study of orbit spaces has many important applications in invariant function theory and G-invariant variational problems associated to M . Many G-invariant objects associated to M can be related to similar objects associated to the orbit space. Therefore, if the dimension of the orbit space is small enough, we can effectively reduce many problems about G-invariant objects of M to generally easier problems on M G . Because of this motivation, many mathematicians studied topological properties of the orbit spaces of Lie group actions on manifolds. In special case, when M is a Riemannian manifold and G is a connected and closed subset of the isometries of M , the action induces a singular foliation on M . If dim M G = 1 then one can find a lot of papers about the orbits and orbit spaces. But, there are many important open problems to solve in the case dim M G > 1. We give some results about topological properties of orbits and orbit spaces of cohomogeneity two actions on Riemannian manifolds of nonpositive curvature. References [1] Bredon. G.

Chatyrko Department of Mathematics, Linköping University [email protected] and [email protected] Abstract Let F be the family of all dense countable subgroups of the real numbers R. Consider Q ∈ F. Recall that a Vitali Q-selector of R is any set which meets every coset x + Q, x ∈ R, precisely in one point. We denote by V(Q) the family of all Vitali Q-selectors of R and by SV(Q) the family of all non-empty finite unions of elements of V(Q). Let us recall (see [2] and [1], resp.) that the elements of SV(Q) are non-measurable in the Lebesgue sense and without the Baire property on the real line. We define a new topology τ (Q) on R generated by the family {R\S : S ∈ SV(Q) } as a base. One can observe that a subset A of R is closed according to this topology iff sup{|A∩(x+Q) : x ∈ R|} < ℵ0 or A = R. We study topological properties of spaces R(Q) = (R, τ (Q)), Q ∈ F. In particular, we show that each R(Q) is a T1 (not T2 ) hyperconnected topological space with ind R(Q) = Ind R(Q) = 1. Moreover, if Q1 , Q2 ∈ F then the spaces R(Q1 ) and R(Q2 ) are homeomorphic. Let us note that if Q1 ⊆ Q2 and |Q2 /Q1 | = ℵ0 then SV(Q1 ) ∩ SV(Q2 ) = ∅, and there exists a countable subset A of R such that A is closed in R(Q1 ) but A is neither closed nor open in R(Q2 ). The results above can be extended to abelian Hausdorff topological groups of the second category without isolated points having countable dense subgroups. References [1] V. A.

Such a compactification can be constructed assuming a relatively mild set-theoretic assumption. Given γω, the space of continuous functions C(γω) contains a natural copy X of c0 , where X = {f ∈ C(γω) : f |γω \ ω = 0}. We investigate for which γω the space X is complemented in C(γω). This is the case if γω is metrizable (Sobczyk’s theorem); on the other hand, X is not complemented in C(βω) by a theorem due to Phillips. If the space X is complemented in C(γω) then there is a strictly positive measure on γω \ ω. We show that under CH the reverse implication does not hold and present another related example. Joint research with Piotr Drygier (Wroclaw). 1 Open tilings and open monotonic tilings of topological spaces G. M. Reed St Edmund Hall, Oxford University (emeritus fellow) email: [email protected] Abstract The goal is to develop a concept of ”tiling” a given topological space with tiles of richer structure. A space has an open tiling (OT) if for each open set U, there exists a collection T of mutually disjoint open sets such that the closure of each member of T is contained in U, and U is equal to the union of the closures of the members of T. An α-open tiling (α-OT) of a space is a an OT in which each open set has a tiling of cardinality less than or equal to α. A space has an α-open monotonic tiling (α-OMT) of type K if for each open set U there exists a increasing chain C w.r.t. set inclusion of open subsets of U such that each member of C has the topological property K and U is equal to the union of the members of C, where the cardinality of C is less than or equal to α. In this talk we restrict space to mean a regular, Hausdorff, first countable space, and consider which spaces have an OT, omega-OT, or omega-OMT of type K. We also consider which non-Moore spaces can be tiled by Moore tiles, and which non-metrisable spaces can be tiled by metrisable tiles. A few basic theorems are given, and a wide variety of standard examples are examined. The results are surprising, at least to the author. A major open question concerns the existence of a normal, nonmetrisable space which has an ω-OMT of metrisable type. The author first raised this question in the 1990s, and it has often been raised in survey articles. The author has shown that: (1) Such a space can not be countably-metacompact. (2) Such a space must be CWH. (3) Such a space would be a Dowker space with a σ-disjoint base. (4) Under MA or (b=c), such a space must have cardinality ≥ c. 1 (5) There exists a space with an ω-OMT of metrisable type which is not a Moore space. (6) Results (1), (3), (4), and (5) would hold for the existence of a normal, non-metrisable space which is the union of countably may open metrisable sets. The author has referred to this question as the normal, non-moore space problem. In classical Moore tradition, the author suggests that readers should find their own solutions. It is fun. Comparability of bornological convergences on the hyperspace of a uniformizable space Marco Rosa∗ Paolo Vitolo∗ [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Given a compatible uniformity U and an arbitrary bornology S on a topological space X, we can define on the hyperspace CL(X) of non-empty closed subsets of X, three convergences related to U and S: the upper, lower and “two-sided” bornological convergence ([1, 2, 3]). Bornological convergence is a generalization of the well known Attouch–Wets convergence. We consider two compatible uniformities U and V, two arbitrary bornologies S and T on X and we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the comparability of the lower, upper and “two-sided” bornological convergences they generate. We also focus on the particular case of the bornology of “Bourbaki bounded” sets with respect to a uniformity. Moreover, we consider the bounded-proximal topology generated by an arbitrary bornology and by the proximity induced by a compatible uniformity. We characterize the comparability of convergences induced by bounded-proximal topologies related to two compatible uniformities and two arbitrary bornologies.

It is easy to see that a non-trivial connected Hausdorff group must have cardinality at least continuum. Seventy years ago Markov asked if every group of cardinality at least continuum can be equipped with a connected Hausdorff group topology. Twenty five years ago a counter-example to Markov’s conjecture was found by Pestov, and a bit later Remus showed that no permutation group admits a connected Hausdorff group topology. The question (explicitly asked by Remus) whether the answer to Markov’s question is positive for abelian groups remained widely open. We prove that every abelian group of cardinality at least continuum has a connected Hausdorff group topology, Furthermore, we give a complete characterization of abelian groups which admit a connected Hausdorff group topology having compact completion. 1 The weak Whyburn spaces and cardinality. Santi Spadaro IME - Instituto de Matematica e Estatistica - University of Sao Paulo, Brazil [email protected] The weak Whyburn property is a convergence property that has received a lot of attention in the last twenty years. We compare it with the other convergence properties, in particular with the pseudoradial property. For example, we show that every regular weakly Whyburn P-space of countable extent and character at most ℵ2 is pseudo radial and that every Urysohn countably compact space of cardinality smaller than the continuum is weakly Whyburn. We also construct examples of a countably compact Hausdorff non-weakly Whyburn space of cardinality ω1 (showing that the Urysohn property is essential in the latter result when the continuum hypothesis fails) and of a countably compact regular weakly Whyburn non-pseudoradial space (which answers to a question asked by Angelo Bella in private communication).

Staynova Department of Mathematics, University of Leicester email: [email protected] Abstract This is joint work with M. Bonanzinga and P. Staynova. We continue studying combinatorial separation axioms as defined in [Bon13], [BSS15] and their reflection on cardinal invariant inequalities. All notations are as in [Juh80], [Hod84]. We define a new cardinal function related to the pseudocharacter and Hausdorff properties as follows: let X be a T1 topological space and for all x ∈ X, let \ Hw(x) = {U : U ∈ Ux , |Ux | 6 ψ(X), Ux is a neighbourhood system of x}. The Hausdorff width is HW (X) = sup{|Hw(x)| : x ∈ X}. We use it to generalise several results about cardinality of not necessarily Hausdorff spaces. Amongst them is: 1 Theorem. If X is a T1 n-Hausdorff space, then |X| 6 HW (X)2aLc (X)χ(X) . This result transfers to non-Hausdorff spaces the main result in [WD84]. The next result generalises the famous theorem of de Groot [dG65]: 2 Theorem. If X is T1 then |X| 6 HW (X)ψ(X)haL(X) . We also improve for n-Hausdorff spaces a recent result of [JSS]: pd(X) 3 Theorem. Let X be an n-Hausdorff space. Then |X| 6 22 . Here, the pinning number pd(X) is defined in [JSS] and is less than the density. Productivity of n-Hausdorff number has also been studied. Many examples and open questions related to the structure of the spaces satisfying combinatorial separation axioms have been considered. References [Bon13] M. Bonanzinga.

Grothendieck was the first to give a good categorical definition for the category PRO(C) of inverse systems in a given category C. The need for a homotopy theory of PRO(C) was early recognized. Many authors were then concerned with the task of defining a Quillen model structure on PRO(C) assuming C had one, in order to obtain a well behaved homotopy category. The so called Steenrod homotopy category Ho(PRO(TOP)) was defined by Porter and Edwards-Hastings about 1976. In the last years further work on the subject has been done notably by Isaksen, and very recently by Descotte and Dubuc . There are at hand essentially two ways to look at Ho(PRO(TOP)). The first one is that of Porter and Edwards-Hastings who define it by localizing PRO(TOP) at the class of level equivalences so that in this case the morphisms are quite ugly to handle. The second one is due to Cathey- Segal : given inverse systems X, Y in TOP, they consider suitable fibrant replacements X’, Y’ for them obtaining that Ho(PRO(TOP))(X,Y)= [X’, Y’ ], where the right member denotes the set of homotopy classes. In this case morphisms are easy to manage while the constructions of the fibrant replacements is not trivial at all. We construct a new category cPRO(TOP) with objects the inverse systems in TOP having the advantages of both the points of view above. We prove that cPRO(TOP) is isomorphic to the Steenrod homotopy category Ho(PRO(TOP)) and also to the coherent pro-homotopy category CHPRO(TOP) as defined by Lisica-Mardesic. Products of Menger sets Piotr Szewczak∗ Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University in Warsaw email: [email protected] Coauthor: Boaz Tsaban A topological space X is Menger if for every sequence of open covers OS . . . there are finite sets F1 ⊆ O1 , F2 ⊆ O2 , . . . such that the family 1 , O2 , S { F1 , F2 , . . . } is a cover S of X. If we can request that for every element x ∈ X the set { n : x ∈ Fn } is co-finite, then the space X is Hurewicz. The above properties generalize σ-compactness and Hurewicz’s property is strictly stronger than Menger’s (Chaber-Pol and Tsaban-Zdomskyy). One of the major open problems in the field of selection principles is whether there are, in ZFC, two Menger sets of real numbers whose product is not Menger. We provide examples under various set theoretic hypotheses, some being weak portions of the Continuum Hypothesis, and some violating it. The proof method is new. We also consider filter versions of the above-mentioned properties, and prove that they are strictly inbetween Hurewicz and Menger. ∗ Supported by Polish National Science Center, UMO-2014/12/T/ST1/00627 project: GO-Spaces and Paracompactness in Cartesian Products Nano Topology induced by an Ideal 1 M. 1,2 School Lellis Thivagar 2 V.Sutha Devi of Mathematics, Madurai Kamaraj University, Madurai - 625 021, Tamilnadu, India. 1 E-mail : [email protected] 2 E-mail : [email protected] Abstract The concept of ideal in topological space was first introduced by Kuratowski. Lellis Thivagar et al interjected a nano topological space with respect to a subset X of an universe which is defined in terms of lower and upper approximations of X. The elements of a nano topological space are called the nano-open sets. The topology recommended here is named so because of its size, Since it has atmost five elements in it. In this paper, a new definition of lower and upper approximations via ideal have been introduced based on both any binary reflexive relation and equivalence relation. These new definitions are compared with nano approximations. It’s therefore shown that the current definitions are more general. It’s apparent that the present method decreases the boundary region and we get a topology finer than existing one.

Tkachuk Universidad Autonoma Metropolitana de Mexico Mexico City, Mexico A space Y is jointly metrizable on compacta (or is a JCM space) if there exists a metric d on Y such that the topology generated by d restricted to K coincides with the subspace topology on K whenever K is a compact subspace of Y . The JCM property was introduced by Arhangel’skii and Al Shumrani in 2012 and studied systematically by Arhangel’skii and Choban in 2013-2014. Since every submetrizable space is JCM, this notion generalizes the concept of submetrizability. We will present some results on the JCM property in spaces Cp (X). We will show, among other things, that if Cp (X) is jointly metrizable on compacta, then p(X) ≤ ω but ω1 need not be a caliber of X. If X is either submetrizable or a P -space, then Cp (Cp (X)) is jointly metrizable on compacta and, in particular, all compact subsets of Cp (Cp (X)) are metrizable. We show that for any dyadic compact X, the space Cp (X) is jointly metrizable on compacta. Therefore, the JCM property of Cp (X) for a compact space X does not imply that X is separable. This solves a question published by Arhangel’skii, Choban and Al Shumrani. If X is a compact space of countable tightness and Cp (X) is jointly metrizable on compacta, then it is independent of ZFC whether X must be separable. 1 ALGEBRA, SELECTIONS, AND ADDITIVE RAMSEY THEORY BOAZ TSABAN Hindman’s celebrated Finite Sums Theorem asserts that, for each finite coloring of the set N of natural numbers, there is an infinite set A ⊆ N such that all finite sums of elements of A have the same color. This theorem can be viewed as a coloring property of a certain cover of the set N. We extend this theorem from N to arbitrary topological spaces with Menger’s classic covering property. The methods include, in addition to Hurewicz’s game theoretic characterization of Menger’s property, extensions of the classic idempotent theory in the Stone– Čech compactification of semigroups, and of the more recent theory of selection principles. The resulting monochromatic substructures are large, beyond infinitude, in an analytic sense. The main results, modulo technical refinements, are of the following type: Let X be a Menger space, and U be an infinite open cover of X. For each finite coloring of the family of open subsets of X, there are subsets F1 , F2 , . . . of the cover U whose unions V1 := S disjoint finite S F1 , V2 := F2 , . . . have the following properties: S (1) All sets n∈F Vn , for nonempty finite sets F , are of the same color. (2) The family {V1 , V2 , . . . } is an open cover of X. The high-dimensional version of the Finite Sums Theorem, due to Milliken and Taylor, also extends to Menger spaces in a similar manner. We will survey the relevant definitions, methods, and results. The lecture is based on a recent paper available at arxiv.org/abs/1407.7437.

For instance, we show that such a remainder is Hurewicz if and only it is σ-compact. Also, the existence of a Scheepers non-σ-compact remainder of a topological group follows from CH and yields a P -point, and hence is independent of ZFC. We also make an attempt to prove a dichotomy for the Menger property of remainders of topological groups in the style of Arhangelskii.
