R₀ Spaces, R₁ Spaces, And Hyperspaces (open access)

R₀ Spaces, R₁ Spaces, And Hyperspaces

The purpose of this paper is to further investigate R0 spaces, R1 spaces, and hyperspaces. The R0 axiom was introduced by N. A. Shanin in 1943. Later, in 1961, A. S. Davis investigated R0 spaces and introduced R1 spaces. Then, in 1975, William Dunham further investigated R1 spaces and proved that several well-known theorems can be generalized from a T2 setting to an R1 setting. In Chapter II R0 and R1 spaces are investigated and additional theorems that can be generalized from a T2 setting to an R1 setting are obtained.

T-Sets of Normed Linear Spaces (open access)

T-Sets of Normed Linear Spaces

This paper is a study of T-sets of normed linear spaces. Geometrical properties of normed linear spaces are developed in terms of intersection properties shared by a subcollection of T-sets of the space and in terms of special spanning properties shared by each T-set of a subcollection of T-sets of the space. A characterization of the extreme points of the unit ball of the dual of a normed linear space is given in terms of the T-sets of the space. Conditions on the collection of T-sets of a normed linear space are determined so that the normed linear space has the property that extreme points of the unit ball of the dual space map canonically to extreme points of the unit ball of the third dual space.

Hyperspaces (open access)

Hyperspaces

This paper is an exposition of the theory of the hyperspaces 2^X and C(X) of a topological space X. These spaces are obtained from X by collecting the nonempty closed and nonempty closed connected subsets respectively, and are topologized by the Vietoris topology. The paper is organized in terms of increasing specialization of spaces, beginning with T1 spaces and proceeding through compact spaces, compact metric spaces and metric continua. Several basic techniques in hyperspace theory are discussed, and these techniques are applied to elucidate the topological structure of hyperspaces.

The Wallman Spaces and Compactifications (open access)

The Wallman Spaces and Compactifications

If X is a topological space and Y is a ring of closed sets, then a necessary and sufficient condition for the Wallman space W(X,F) to be a compactification of X is that X be T1 andYF separating. A necessary and sufficient condition for a Wallman compactification to be Hausdoff is that F be a normal base. As a result, not all T, compactifications can be of Wallman type. One point and finite Hausdorff compactifications are of Wallman type.
