The concept of extending to a topological space X a continuous pseudometric defined on a subspace S of X has been shown to be very useful. This problem was first studied by Hausdorff for the metric case in 1930 [9]. Hausdorff showed that a continuous metric on a closed subset of a metric space can be extended to a continuous metric on the whole space. Bing [4] and Arens [3] rediscovered this result independently. Recently, Shapiro [15] and Alo and Shapiro [1] studied various embeddings. It has been shown that extending pseudometrics can be characterized in terms of extending refinements of various types of open covers. In this paper we continue our study of extending pseudometrics. First we show that extending pseudometrics can be characterized in terms of σ-locally finite and σ-discrete covers. We then investigate when can certain types of covers be extended.

Recently there has been a great deal of interest in extending refinements of locally finite and point finite collections on subsets of certain topological spaces. In particular the first named author showed that a subset S of a topological space X is P-embedded in X if and only if every locally finite cozero-set cover on S has a refinement that can be extended to a locally finite cozero-set cover of X. Since then many authors have studied similar types of embeddings (see [1], [2], [3], [4], [6], [8], [9], [10], [11], and [12]). Since the above characterization of P-embedding is equivalent to extending continuous pseudometrics from the subspace S up to the whole space X, it is natural to wonder when can a locally finite or a point finite open or cozero-set cover on S be extended to a locally finite or point-finite open or cozero-set cover on X.

Wijsman Topology

<p>Recently it was shown that, in a metric space, the upper Wijsman convergence can be topologized with the introduction of a new far-miss topology. The resulting Wijsman topology is a mixture of the ball topology and the proximal ball topology. It leads easily to the generalized or g-Wijsman topology on the hyperspace of any topological space with a compatible LO-proximity and a cobase (i.e. a family of closed subsets which is closed under finite unions and which contains all singletons). Further generalization involving a topological space with two compatible LO-proximities and a cobase results in a new hypertopology which we call the Bombay topology. The generalized locally finite Bombay topology includes the known hypertopologies as special cases and moreover it gives birth to many new hypertopologies. We show how it facilitates comparison of any two hypertopologies by proving one simple result of which most of the existing results are easy consequences.</p>

AbstractA mapping T from a topological space X to a topological space Y is said to be compact if T(X) is contained in a compact subset of Y . The aim of this paper is to prove the existence of fixed points of a nonexpansive compact self-mapping defined on a closed subset having a contractive jointly continuous family when the underlying space is a metric space. The proved result generalizes and extends several known results on the subject

An ideal on a setXis a nonempty collection of subsets ofXclosed under the operations of subset and finite union. Given a topological spaceXand an idealℐof subsets ofX,Xis defined to beℐ-paracompact if every open cover of the space admits a locally finite open refinement which is a cover for all ofXexcept for a set inℐ. Basic results are investigated, particularly with regard to theℐ- paracompactness of two associated topologies generated by sets of the formU−IwhereUis open andI∈ℐand⋃{U|Uis open andU−A∈ℐ, for some open setA}. Preservation ofℐ-paracompactness by functions, subsets, and products is investigated. Important special cases ofℐ-paracompact spaces are the usual paracompact spaces and the almost paracompact spaces of Singal and Arya [“On m-paracompact spaces”, Math. Ann., 181 (1969), 119-133].

Separable Metric Space

AbstractThe Urysohn space is a separable complete metric space with two fundamental properties: (a) universality: every separable metric space can be isometrically embedded in it; (b) ultrahomogeneity: every finite isometry between two finite subspaces can be extended to an auto-isometry of the whole space. The Urysohn space is uniquely determined up to isometry within separable metric spaces by these two properties. We introduce an analogue of the Urysohn space for diversities, a recently developed variant of the concept of a metric space. In a diversity any finite set of points is assigned a non-negative value, extending the notion of a metric which only applies to unordered pairs of points.We construct the unique separable complete diversity that it is ultrahomogeneous and universal with respect to separable diversities.

Given a locally finite leafless tree $T$, various algebraic groups over local fields might appear as closed subgroups of $\operatorname{Aut}(T)$. We show that the set of closed cocompact subgroups of $\operatorname{Aut}(T)$ that are isomorphic to a quasi-split simple algebraic group is a closed subset of the Chabauty space of $\operatorname{Aut}(T)$. This is done via a study of the integral Bruhat–Tits model of $\operatorname{SL}_{2}$ and $\operatorname{SU}_{3}^{L/K}$, that we carry on over arbitrary local fields, without any restriction on the (residue) characteristic. In particular, we show that in residue characteristic $2$, the Tits index of simple algebraic subgroups of $\operatorname{Aut}(T)$ is not always preserved under Chabauty limits.

We prove that the set of expansive measures of a homeomorphism of a compact metric space is a [Formula: see text] subset of the space of Borel probability measures equipped with the weak* topology. Next that every expansive measure of a homeomorphism of a compact metric space can be weak* approximated by expansive measures with invariant support. In addition, if the expansive measures of a homeomorphism of a compact metric space are dense in the space of Borel probability measures, then there is an expansive measure whose support is both invariant and close to the whole space with respect to the Hausdorff metric. Henceforth, if the expansive measures are dense in the space of Borel probability measures, the set of heteroclinic points has no interior and the space has no isolated points.
