Topologies that turn the real numbers into a compact Hausdorff topological group
If I'm not mistaken, the question I put on the title used to be on this site, but I'm not being able to find it at all. I'm therefore reposting it so that someone can either give me the old link or ...

Why does normality imply that a countable base $B$ contains at least one set $U$ whose closure is a subset of another set $V \in B$?
I'm reading Aliprantis and Border's excellent text, Infinite Dimensional Analysis: A Hitchhiker's Guide (PDF available at link, assuming I've done this properly), and I've reached an impasse in the ...

Subsets of the Cantor set
A copy of the Cantor set is a space homeomorphic to $2^{\omega}$.
Suppose that $X$ is a Hausdorff space that contains a copy $C^{\prime}$ of the Cantor set. Let $U$ be a nonempty subset open in $C^{\...

A question about infinite product of Baire and meager spaces
Proposition 1: For any space $X$ and an infinite cardinal $\kappa$, the product $X^{\kappa}$ is either meager or a Baire space.
Does anyone have any suggestions to demonstrate Proposition 1?
I was ...

Is a closed subset of an extremally disconnected set again extremally disconnected?
Let $T$ be a compact Hausdorff extremally disconnected set (so $T$ is a compact Hausdorff space, such that the closure of each open subset is again open). Let $S \subseteq T$ be a closed subset.

extending disjoint open subsets of a normal Hausdorff space
Under what assumptions on $C$ and $X$ is the following true ? I was neither able to find a counterxample or prove this, though it appears that compactness, e.g. assuming $X$ is compactly generated, ...

Is the tensor product of compactly generated Hausdorff abelian groups again Hausdorff?
Consider the tensor product $G \otimes_{\mathbb{Z}} H$ of two abelian groups $G$ and $H$. If $G$ and $H$ are topological groups, we can give $G \otimes_{\mathbb{Z}} H$ a topology as follows. For any $...

Hausdorff quotient collapsing and separating a prescribed collection of disjoint closed subsets
Let $X$ be a compact Hausdorff space (I don't mind assuming it's metrizable).
Let $A_i$ $i\in \mathbb{N}$ be a collection of disjoint closed subsets of $X$.
My question: Does there exist a Hausdorff ...

Is a separable compact Hausdorff space already metrizable? [closed]
It is a known fact that a 2nd countable compact Hausdorff space is metrizable. What if we weaken the 2nd countable to separable only - is the space still metrizable?
The core of the question, or a ...

Breaking down the co power of a topological space
Consider a compact, Hausdorff topological space which is homeomorphic to its own co-power over an index set $I$, so $X \cong \prod_{i \in I } X$. Is there necessarily another topological space, which ...

If X is a Haussdorf topological space and R and equivalence relation on X, when is X/R Haussdorf?

Examples for "nice" Boolean algebras that are not complete or not atomic
