Spaces of discrete subsets of a locally compact group

One-point extensions of locally compact paracompact spaces

A space $Y$ is called an {em extension} of a space $X$, if $Y$ contains $X$ as a dense subspace. Two extensions of $X$ are said to be {em equivalent}, if there is a homeomorphism between them which fixes $X$ point-wise. For two (equivalence classes of) extensions $Y$ and $Y'$ of $X$ let $Yleq Y'$, if there is a continuous function of $Y'$ into $Y$ which fixes $X$ point-wise. An extension $Y$ ...

Locally Compact, Ω1-compact Spaces

This paper is centered on an extremely general problem: Problem. Is it consistent (perhaps modulo large cardinals) that a locally compact space X must be the union of countably many ω-bounded subspaces if every closed discrete subspace of X is countable [in other words, if X is ω1-compact]? A space is ω-bounded if every countable subset has compact closure. This is a strengthening of countable ...

Universal Properties of Group Actions on Locally Compact Spaces

We study universal properties of locally compact G-spaces for countable infinite groups G. In particular we consider open invariant subsets of the G-space βG, and their minimal closed invariant subspaces. These are locally compact free G-spaces, and the latter are also minimal. We examine the properties of these G-spaces with emphasis on their universal properties. As an example of our results,...

Locally Compact Path Spaces

It is shown that the space X [0,1], of continuous maps [0, 1] → X with the compact-open topology, is not locally compact for any space X having a nonconstant path of closed points. For a T1-space X, it follows that X [0,1] is locally compact if and only if X is locally compact and totally path-disconnected. AMS Classification: 54C35, 54E45, 55P35, 18B30, 18D15
