A note on pseudocompact spaces

Pseudocompact Spaces

Maximal pseudocompact spaces

Maximal pseudocompact spaces (i.e. pseudocompact spaces possessing no strictly stronger pseudocompact topology) are characterized. It is shown that submaximal pseudocompact spaces whose pseudocompact subspaces are closed need not be maximal pseudocompact. Various techniques for constructing maximal pseudocompact spaces are described. Maximal pseudocompactness is compared to maximal feeble compa...

On a class of pseudocompact spaces derived from ring epimorphisms

A Tychonoff space X is called RG if the embedding of C(X) → C(Xδ) is an epimorphism of rings. Compact RG spaces are known and easily described. We study the pseudocompact RG spaces. These must be scattered of finite Cantor Bendixon degree but need not be locally compact. However, under strong hypotheses, (countable compactness, or small cardinality) these spaces must, indeed, be compact. The ma...

A note on soft topological spaces

This paper demonstrates the redundancies concerning the increasing popular ``soft set" approaches to general topologies. It is shown that there is a complement preserving isomorphism (preserving arbitrary $widetilde{bigcup}$ and arbitrary $widetilde{bigcap}$) between the lattice ($mathcal{ST}_E(X,E),widetilde{subset}$) of all soft sets on $X$ with the whole parameter set $E$ as domains and the ...

A note on Volterra and Baire spaces

 In Proposition 2.6 in (G‎. ‎Gruenhage‎, ‎A‎. ‎Lutzer‎, ‎Baire and Volterra spaces‎, ‎textit{Proc‎. ‎Amer‎. ‎Math‎. ‎Soc.} {128} (2000)‎, ‎no‎. ‎10‎, ‎3115--3124) a condition that‎ ‎every point of $D$ is $G_delta$ in $X$ was overlooked‎. ‎So we‎ ‎proved some conditions by which a Baire space is equivalent to a‎ ‎Volterra space‎. ‎In this note we show that if $X$ is a‎ ‎monotonically normal $T_1...
