AbstractWe study maximal pseudocompact spaces calling them also MP-spaces. We show that the product of a maximal pseudocompact space and a countable compact space is maximal pseudocompact. If X is hereditarily maximal pseudocompact then X × Y is hereditarily maximal pseudocompact for any first countable compact space Y. It turns out that hereditary maximal pseudocompactness coincides with the Preiss-Simon property in countably compact spaces. In compact spaces, hereditary MP-property is invariant under continuous images while this is not true for the class of countably compact spaces. We prove that every Fréchet-Urysohn compact space is homeomorphic to a retract of a compact MP-space. We also give a ZFC example of a Fréchet-Urysohn compact space which is not maximal pseudocompact. Therefore maximal pseudocompactness is not preserved by continuous images in the class of compact spaces.

Answering a question of A.V. Arhangel'skii, we show that any extremally disconnected subspace of a compact space with countable tightness is discrete.

AbstractThe present paper deals with continuous extreme-like selections for the Vietoris hyperspace of countably compact spaces. Several new results and applications are established, along with some known results which are obtained under minimal hypotheses. The paper contains also a number of examples clarifying the role of countable compactness.

A sequential space(X,T)is called minimal sequential if no sequential topology onXis strictly weaker thanT. This paper begins the study of minimal sequential Hausdorff spaces. Characterizations of minimal sequential Hausdorff spaces are obtained using filter bases, sequences, and functions satisfying certain graph conditions. Relationships between this class of spaces and other classes of spaces, for example, minimal Hausdorff spaces, countably compact spaces, H-closed spaces, SQ-closed spaces, and subspaces of minimal sequential spaces, are investigated. While the property of being sequential is not (in general) preserved by products, some information is provided on the question of when the product of minimal sequential spaces is minimal sequential.

AbstractHyadic spaces are the continuous images of a hyperspace of a compact space. We prove that every non-isolated point in a hyadic space is the endpoint of some infinite cardinal subspace. We isolate a more general order-theoretic property of hyerspaces of compact spaces which is also enjoyed by compact semilattices from which the theorem follows.
