Various conditions under which an upper semi-continuous (u.s.-c.) decomposition of E3 yields E3 as its decomposition space have been given by Armentrout (1; 2; 5), Bing (7; 8), Lambert (13), McAuley (14), Smythe (17), and Wardwell (18). If the projection of the non-degenerate elements is 0-dimensional in the decomposition space, then “shrinking” or “Condition B” (6) has proven particularly useful.In this paper we shall investigate monotone u.s.-c. decompositions of a locally compact connected metric space M, where the projection of the nondegenerate elements is 0-dimensional. We show in Theorem 1 that each open covering of the non-degenerate elements of a 0-dimensional decomposition has a locally finite refinement.In § 5, we use Theorem 1 to investigate the following question which is similar to one raised by Bing (11, p. 19): Let G, G′, and G″ be decompositions of M such that the non-degenerate elements of G are those of G′ together with those of G′.

Let X be a metric space. Assume either that X is locally compact or that X has no more than countably many isolated points. It is proved that if F is a nowhere dense subset of X, then it is regularly nowhere dense (in the sense of Katětov) and hence is contained in the topological boundary of some regular-closed subset of X. This result is used to obtain new properties of the remote points of the Stone-Čech compactification of a metric space without isolated points.Let βX denote the Stone-Čech compactification of the completely regular Hausdorff space X. Fine and Gillman [3] define a point p of βX to be remote if p is not in the βX-closure of a discrete subset of X.

      The theories of metric spaces and fuzzy metric spaces are crucial topics in mathematics.    Compactness is one of the most important and fundamental properties that have been widely used in Functional Analysis. In this paper, the definition of compact fuzzy soft metric space is introduced and some of its important theorems are investigated. Also, sequentially compact fuzzy soft metric space and locally compact fuzzy soft metric space are defined and the relationships between them are studied. Moreover, the relationships between each of the previous two concepts and several other known concepts are investigated separately. Besides, the compact fuzzy soft continuous functions are studied and some essential theorems are proved.

Noncompact Riemannian Manifold

In [1], [4], and [6] the authors have studied index problems associated with the ‘coarse geometry’ of a metric space, which typically might be a complete noncompact Riemannian manifold or a group equipped with a word metric. The second author has introduced a cohomology theory, coarse cohomology, which is functorial on the category of metric spaces and coarse maps, and which can be computed in many examples. Associated to such a metric space there is also a C*-algebra generated by locally compact operators with finite propagation. In this note we will show that for suitable decompositions of a metric space there are Mayer–Vietoris sequences both in coarse cohomology and in the K-theory of the C*-algebra. As an application we shall calculate the K-theory of the C*-algebra associated to a metric cone. The result is consistent with the calculation of the coarse cohomology of the cone, and with a ‘coarse’ version of the Baum–Connes conjecture.

Condition B

Abstract The aim of this paper is to introduce generalized condition (B) in a quasi-partial metric space acknowledging the notion of Künzi et al. [Künzi H.-P. A., Pajoohesh H., Schellekens M. P., Partial quasi-metrics, Theoret. Comput. Sci., 2006, 365, 237-246] and Karapinar et al. [Karapinar E., Erhan M.,Öztürk A., Fixed point theorems on quasi-partial metric spaces, Math. Comput.Modelling, 2013, 57, 2442-2448] and to establish coincidence and common fixed point theorems for twoweakly compatible pairs of self mappings. In the sequelwe also answer affirmatively two open problems posed by Abbas, Babu and Alemayehu [Abbas M., Babu G. V. R., Alemayehu G. N., On common fixed points of weakly compatible mappings satisfying generalized condition (B), Filomat, 2011, 25(2), 9-19]. Further in the setting of a quasi-partial metric space, the results obtained are utilized to establish the existence and uniqueness of a solution of the integral equation and the functional equation arising in dynamic programming. Our results are also justified by explanatory examples supported with pictographic validations to demonstrate the authenticity of the postulates.

Metrizable Spaces

Abstract so-metrizable spaces are a class of important generalized metric spaces between metric spaces and s n sn -metrizable spaces where a space is called an so-metrizable space if it has a σ \sigma -locally finite so-network. As the further work that attaches to the celebrated Alexandrov conjecture, it is interesting to characterize so-metrizable spaces by images of metric spaces. This paper gives such characterizations for so-metrizable spaces. More precisely, this paper introduces so-open mappings and uses the “Pomomarev’s method” to prove that a space X X is an so-metrizable space if and only if it is an so-open, compact-covering, σ \sigma -image of a metric space, if and only if it is an so-open, σ \sigma -image of a metric space. In addition, it is shown that so-open mapping is a simplified form of s n sn -open mapping (resp. 2-sequence-covering mapping if the domain is metrizable). Results of this paper give some new characterizations of so-metrizable spaces and establish some equivalent relations among so-open mapping, s n sn -open mapping and 2-sequence-covering mapping, which further enrich and deepen generalized metric space theory.

‘Decomposition Space Theory and the Bing Shrinking Criterion’ gives a proof of the central Bing shrinking criterion and then provides an introduction to the key notions of the field of decomposition space theory. The chapter begins by proving the Bing shrinking criterion, which characterizes when a given map between compact metric spaces is approximable by homeomorphisms. Next, it develops the elements of the theory of decomposition spaces. A key fact is that a decomposition space associated with an upper semi-continuous decomposition of a compact metric space is again a compact metric space. Decomposition spaces are key in the proof of the disc embedding theorem.

AbstractLet Q denote the rationals, P the irrationals, C the Cantor set and L the space C − {p} (where p ∈ C). Let f : X → Y be a perfect continuous surjection. We show: (1) If X ∈ {Q, P, Q × P}, or if f is irreducible and X ∈ {C, L}, then Y is homeomorphic to X if Y is zero-dimensional. (2) If X ∈ {P, C, L} and f is irreducible, then there is a dense subset S of Y such that f|f ← [S] is a homeomorphism onto S. However, if Z is any σ-compact nowhere locally compact metric space then there is a perfect irreducible continuous surjection from Q × C onto Z such that each fibre of the map is homeomorphic to C.

AbstractGiven a Banach spaceXand a real number α ≥ 1, we write: (1)D(X) ≤ α if, for any locally finite metric spaceA, all finite subsets of which admit bilipschitz embeddings intoXwith distortions ≤C, the spaceAitself admits a bilipschitz embedding intoXwith distortion ≤ α ⋅C; (2)D(X) = α+if, for every ϵ > 0, the conditionD(X) ≤ α + ϵ holds, whileD(X) ≤ α does not; (3)D(X) ≤ α+ifD(X) = α+orD(X) ≤ α. It is known thatD(X) is bounded by a universal constant, but the available estimates for this constant are rather large. The following results have been proved in this work: (1)D((⊕n=1∞Xn)p) ≤ 1+for every nested family of finite-dimensional Banach spaces {Xn}n=1∞and every 1 ≤p≤ ∞. (2)D((⊕n=1∞ℓ∞n)p) = 1+for 1 <p< ∞. (3)D(X) ≤ 4+for every Banach spaceXwith no nontrivial cotype. Statement (3) is a strengthening of the Baudier–Lancien result (2008).

AbstractWe show that every locally compact Polish group is isomorphic to the isometry group of a proper separable metric space. This answers a question of Gao and Kechris. We also analyze the natural action of the isometry group of a separable ultrametric space on the space. This leads us to a structure theorem representing an arbitrary separable ultrametric space as a bundle with an ultrametric base and with ultrahomogeneous fibers which are invariant under the action of the isometry group.

Abstract In this paper we discuss asymmetric length structures and asymmetric metric spaces. A length structure induces a (semi)distance function; by using the total variation formula, a (semi)distance function induces a length. In the first part we identify a topology in the set of paths that best describes when the above operations are idempotent. As a typical application, we consider the length of paths defined by a Finslerian functional in Calculus of Variations. In the second part we generalize the setting of General metric spaces of Busemann, and discuss the newly found aspects of the theory: we identify three interesting classes of paths, and compare them; we note that a geodesic segment (as defined by Busemann) is not necessarily continuous in our setting; hence we present three different notions of intrinsic metric space.
