Let Δn (n > 0) denote the subset of the Euclidean (n + 1)-dimensional space defined byA subset σ of Δn is called a face if there exists a sequence 0 ≤ i1 ≤ i2 ≤ … < im ≤ n such thatand the dimension of σ is defined to be (n — m). Let denote the union of all faces of Δn of dimensions less than n. A topological space Y is called solid if any continuous map on a closed subspace A of a normal space X into Y can be extended to a map on X into Y. By Tietz's extension theorem, each face of Δn is solid. The present paper is concerned with a generalization of the following theorem which seems well known.

1. Introduction. In this paper, the expression topological space will always mean generated space, that is any T1 space X for whichforms a subbasis for the closed subsets of X. This is not at all a severe restriction since generated spaces include all completely regular Hausdorff spaces which contain an arc as well as all 0-dimensional Hausdorff spaces [3, pp. 198-201], [4].The symbol S(X) denotes the semigroup, under composition, of all continuous selfmaps of the topological space X. This paper really grew out of our efforts to determine all those congruences σ on S(X) such that S(X)/σ is isomorphic to S(Y) for some space Y.

If is a topological space then a sequence (Cα:α < λ) of subsets of is said to be normalized if for every H ⊆ λ there exist disjoint open sets and such thatThe sequence (Cα:α < λ) is said to be separated if there exists a sequence of pairwise disjoint open sets such that for each α < λ. As is customary, we adopt the convention that all sequences (Cα:α < λ) considered are assumed to be relatively discrete as defined in [18, p. 21]: if x ∈ Cα then there exists a neighborhood about x that intersects no Cβ for β ≠ α.

Let (E, τ) be a locally convex linear Hausdorff topological space. We have proved mainly the following results.(i) Let f be nonexpansive on a nonempty τ-sequentially complete, τ-bounded, and starshaped subset M of E and let (I-f) map τ-bounded and τ-sequentially closed subsets of M into τ-sequentially closed subsets of M. Then f has a fixed-point in M.(ii) Let f be nonexpansive on a nonempty, τ-sequentially compact, and starshaped subset M of E. Then f has a fixed-point in M.(iii) Let (E, τ) be τ-quasi-complete. Let X be a nonempty, τ-bounded, τ-closed, and convex subset of E and M be a τ-compact subset of X. Let F be a commutative family of nonexpansive mappings on X having the property that for some f1 ∈ F and for each x ∈ X, τ-closure of the setcontains a point of M. Then the family F has a common fixed-point in M.

Let X be a topological space equipped with a binary relation R; that is, R is a subset of the Cartesian square X×X. Following Wallace [5], we write Deviating from [7], we shall follow Wallace [4] to call the relation R continuous if RA*⊂(RA)* for each A⊂X, where * designates the topological closure. Borrowing the language from the Ordered System, though our relation R need not be any kind of order relation, we say that a subset S of X is R-decreasing (R-increasing) if RS ⊂ S(SR ⊂ S), and that S is Rmonotone if S is either R-decreasing or R-increasing. Two R-monotone subsets are of the same type if they are either both R-decresaing or both Rincreasing.

Let X be a topological space and let A ⊂ X. The character of A in X is the minimal cardinal of a base for the neighborhoods of A in X. Previous studies have shown that the character of certain subsets of X (or of X2) is related to compactness conditions on X. For example, in [12], Ginsburg proved that if the diagonalof a space X has countable character in X2, then X is metrizable and the set of nonisolated points of X is compact. In [2], Aull showed that if every closed subset of X has countable character, then the set of nonisolated points of X is countably compact. In [18], we noted that if every closed subset of X has countable character, then MA + ┐ CH (Martin's axiom with the negation of the continuum hypothesis) implies that X is paracompact.

The topological concept of H-space (7) has an analytic counterpart which so far has not been considered in the literature. We define: A complex-analytic manifold S will be called an analytic H-space if it is capable of carrying a continuous binary compositionwith the following properties (i) and (ii).

A topological space X is called developable if it has a development, i.e., a sequence of open covers of X such that for each x ∈ X the collection is a neighbourhood base of x, whereThis class of spaces has turned out to be one of the most natural and useful generalizations of metrizable spaces [23]. In [4] it was shown that some well known results in metrization theory have counterparts in the theory of developable spaces (i.e., Urysohn's metrization theorem, the Nagata-Smirnov theorem, and Nagata's “double sequence theorem”). Moreover, in [3] it was pointed out that subspaces of products of developable spaces (i.e., D-completely regular spaces) can be characterized in much the same way as subspaces of products of metrizable spaces (i.e., completely regular T1-spaces).

Let S be both a topological space and a semigroup. For s ∈ S, define the maps λs and ρs of S to S byWe shall say that S is a right-topological (resp. left-topological) semigroup if ρs (resp. λs) is continuous for each s in S. We denote by Λ(S) the setthis is a subsemigroup of S.

For any topological space X and integer n ≥ 1, denote by Cn(X) the configuration spaceThe symmetric group Sn acts by permuting coordinates on Cn(X) and we are concerned in this note with the induced graded representation of Sn on the cohomology space H*(Cn(X)) = ⊕iHi (Cn(X), ℂ), where Hi denotes (singular or de Rham) cohomology. When X = ℂ, Cn(X) is a K(π, 1) space, where π is the n-string pure braid group (cf. [3]). The corresponding representation of Sn in this case was determined in [5], using the fact that Cn(C) is a hyperplane complement and a presentation of its cohomology ring appears in [1] and in a more general setting, in [8] (see also [2]).
