چکیده
In 1948 Miroslav Katětov showed that if the cube X3 of a compact space X satisfies the separation axiom T5 then X must be metrizable. He asked whether X3 can be replaced by X2 in this metrization result. In this note we prove the consistency of this implication.

A New Look at Localic Interpolation Theorems
Abstract: This paper presents a new treatment of the localic Katětov-Tong interpolation theorem, based on an analysis of special properties of normal frames, which shows that it does not hold in full generality. Besides giving us the conditions under which the localic Katětov-Tong interpolation theorem holds, this approach leads to a especially transparent and succint proof of it. It is also sh...
متن کاملVariants of normality and their duals: a pointfree unification of insertion and extension theorems for real-valued functions
Katětov-Tong insertion type theorem For every upper semicontinuous real function f and lower semicontinuous real function g satisfying f ≤ g, there exists a continuous real function h such that f ≤ h ≤ g (Katětov 1951, Tong 1952). For every lower semicontinuous real function f and upper semicontinuous real function g satisfying f ≤ g, there exists a continuous real function h such that f ≤ h ≤ ...
متن کاملCentral subsets of Urysohn universal spaces
A subset A of a metric space (X, d) is central iff for every Katětov map f : X → R upper bounded by the diameter of X and any finite subset B of X there is x ∈ X such that f(a) = d(x, a) for each a ∈ A ∪ B. Central subsets of the Urysohn universal space U (see introduction) are studied. It is proved that a metric space X is isometrically embeddable into U as a central set iff X has the collinea...
متن کاملHereditarily Normal Katětov Spaces and Extending of Usco Mappings
Several classes of hereditarily normal spaces are characterized in terms of extending upper semi-continuous compact-valued mappings. The case of controlled extensions is considered as well. Applications are obtained for real-valued semi-continuous functions.
متن کاملPair-splitting, Pair-reaping and Cardinal Invariants of Fσ-ideals
We investigate the pair-splitting number spair which is a variation of splitting number, pair-reaping number rpair which is a variation of reaping number and cardinal invariants of ideals on ω. We also study cardinal invariants of Fσ ideals and their upper bounds and lower bounds. As an application, we answer a question of S. Solecki by showing that the ideal of finitely chromatic graphs is not...
