In the literature there exist examples of metrizable spaces admitting nonmetrizable uniformities (e.g., see [3, Problem C, p. 204]). In this paper, this phenomenon is presented more coherently by showing that every non-compact metrizable space admits at least one non-metrizable proximity and uncountably many non-metrizable uniformities. It is also proved that the finest compatible uniformity (proximity) on a non-compact non-semidiscrete space is always non-metrizable.

Let X be a compact metrizable space, and let A be a purely infinite simple C*-algbera A satisfying K0(A)=K1(A)=0. We show that an almost multiplicative contractive unital *-preserving linear map from C(X) can be approximated by a homomorphism. As a consequence, we show that if a unital simple C*-algbera [Formula: see text], with [Formula: see text] (finite direct sums), for compact metrizable spaces Xm,n and are even algebras [Formula: see text], satisfies K0(A)=K1(A)=0, then [Formula: see text]. In particular, we show that the tensor product of a simple unital AH-algebra with [Formula: see text] is isomorphic to [Formula: see text].

Let f: X → X be a continuous mapping of the compact metrizable space X into itself with a singleton. In [3] Janos proved that for any λ, 0 < λ < 1, a metric ρ compatible with the topology of X exists such that ρ(f(x), f(y)) ≦ λρ(x, y) for all x, y ∈X. More recently, Janos [4] has shown that if, in addition, f is one-to-one, then a Hilbert space H and a homeomorphism μ: X → H exist such that μfμ-1 is the restriction to μ[X] of the transformation sending y ∈ H into λy. Our aim in this note is to show that in both cases a homeomorphism h of X into l2 exists such that hfh-1 is the restriction of a linear transformation.

IfXandYare Tychonoff spaces, letL(X)andL(Y)be the free locally convex space overXandY, respectively. For generalXandY, the question of whetherL(X)can be embedded as a topological vector subspace ofL(Y)is difficult. The best results in the literature are that ifL(X)can be embedded as a topological vector subspace ofL(I), whereI=[0,1], thenXis a countable-dimensional compact metrizable space. Further, ifXis a finite-dimensional compact metrizable space, thenL(X)can be embedded as a topological vector subspace ofL(I). In this paper, it is proved thatL(X)can be embedded inL(R)as a topological vector subspace ifXis a disjoint union of a countable number of finite-dimensional locally compact separable metrizable spaces. This is the case ifX=Rn,  n∈N.It is also shown that ifGandQdenote the Cantor space and the Hilbert cubeIN, respectively, then (i)L(X)is embedded inL(G)if and only ifXis a zero-dimensional metrizable compact space; (ii)L(X)is embedded inL(Q)if and only ifYis a metrizable compact space.

AbstractIn the absence of the axiom of choice, the set-theoretic status of many natural statements about metrizable compact spaces is investigated. Some of the statements are provable in $$\mathbf {ZF}$$ ZF , some are shown to be independent of $$\mathbf {ZF}$$ ZF . For independence results, distinct models of $$\mathbf {ZF}$$ ZF and permutation models of $$\mathbf {ZFA}$$ ZFA with transfer theorems of Pincus are applied. New symmetric models of $$\mathbf {ZF}$$ ZF are constructed in each of which the power set of $$\mathbb {R}$$ R is well-orderable, the Continuum Hypothesis is satisfied but a denumerable family of non-empty finite sets can fail to have a choice function, and a compact metrizable space need not be embeddable into the Tychonoff cube $$[0, 1]^{\mathbb {R}}$$ [ 0 , 1 ] R .

Abstract Let X be an infinite compact metrizable space having only a finite number of isolated points and Y be a non-degenerate dendrite with a distinguished end point v. For each continuous map ƒ : X → Y , we define the hypo-graph ↓vƒ = ∪ x∈X {x} × [v, ƒ (x)], where [v, ƒ (x)] is the unique arc from v to ƒ (x) in Y . Then we can regard ↓v C(X, Y ) = {↓vƒ | ƒ : X → Y is continuous} as the subspace of the hyperspace Cld(X × Y ) of nonempty closed sets in X × Y endowed with the Vietoris topology. Let be the closure of ↓v C(X, Y ) in Cld(X ×Y ). In this paper, we shall prove that the pair , ↓v C(X, Y )) is homeomorphic to (Q, c0), where Q = Iℕ is the Hilbert cube and c0 = {(xi )i∈ℕ ∈ Q | limi→∞xi = 0}.

Do the topologies of each dimension have to be same and metrizable for metricization of any space? I show that this is not necessary with monad metrizable spaces. For example, a monad metrizable space may have got any indiscrete topologies, discrete topologies, different metric spaces, or any topological spaces in each different dimension. I compute the distance in real space between such topologies. First, the passing points between different topologies is defined and then a monad metric is defined. Then I provide definitions and some properties about monad metrizable spaces and PAS metric spaces. I show that any PAS metric space is also a monad metrizable space. Moreover, some properties and some examples about them are presented.

We give some characterizations of sn-metrizable spaces. We prove that a space is an sn-metrizable space if and only if it has a locally-finite point-star sn-network. As an application of the result, a space is an sn-metrizable space if and only if it is a sequentially quotient, ? (compact), ?-image of a metric space.

Let X be an infinite topological space, let 𝔫 be an infinite cardinal number with 𝔫 ≦ |X|. The basic problem in this paper is to find the number of closed sets in X of cardinality 𝔫. A complete answer to this question for the class of metrizable spaces has been given by A. H. Stone in [31], where he proves the following result. Let X be an infinite metrizable space of weight 𝔪, let 𝔫 ≦ |X|.

Let Ω and I denote a compact metrizable space with card(Ω)≥2 and the unit interval, respectively. We prove Milutin and Cantor-Bernstein type theorems for the spaces M(Ω) of Radon measures on compact Hausdorff spaces Ω. In particular, we obtain the following results: (1) for every infinite closed subset K of βN the spaces M(K), M(βN), and M(Ω2ℵ0) are order-isometric; (2) for every discrete space Γ with m≔card(Γ)>ℵ0 the spaces M(βΓ) and M(I2m) are order-isometric, whereas there is no linear homeomorphic injection from C(βT) into C(I2m).
