Compact subsets and Hausdorffness of topology

We know that all closed subsets of a compact topological space $(X,\tau)$ are compact. If we add the Hausdorff condition on the topology $\tau$ we can see the equivalence of these conditions on a ...

A "simple" space with closed retracts but non-unique sequential limits

This question asking how KC ("Kompacts are Closed") and RC ("Retracts are Closed") are distinct has some good discussion, including a now-published example by Banakh and Stelmakh ...

Smooth Urysohn's lemma on Fréchet spaces

Let $V$ be a Fréchet topological vector space. Let $K_0$ and $K_1$ be two closed subsets which are disjoint. I wish to show the existence of a Fréchet-smooth function $f:V\to [0,1]$ whose restriction ...

Reference for k-Hausdorff (in terms of compact T2 images)

In Rezk - Compactly generated spaces a k-Hausdorff property is defined, between weakly Hausdorff and unique sequential limits. On the other hand, a stronger notion of k-Hausdorff between $T_2$ and ...

Stone-Čech boundary is not extremally disconnected

Recall that a topological space is called extremally disconnected if the closure of every open subset is still open. Every discrete space is of course extremally disconnected, and the standard non-...

The pro-discrete space of quasicomponents of a topological space

Let $X$ be a topological space. Consider the functor $P^X : \textbf{Set} \to \textbf{Set}$ that sends each set $Y$ to the set of continuous maps $X \to Y$. It is not hard to check that $P^X : \textbf{...

For which $X$ is $X\times I$ collectionwise normal?

Many normality-type properties can be characterised in terms of products with the unit interval $I=[0,1]$. For instance, if $X$ is a Hausdorff space, then; $X$ is normal and countably paracompact if ...

Property ${\bf B}$ for families of large sets with small intersection

Let $\kappa\geq \aleph_0$ be a cardinal. If $X\neq \emptyset$ is a set, we say that a family ${\cal C}\subseteq {\cal P}(X)$ has property ${\bf B}$ if there is $S\subseteq X$ such that for all $C\in {\...

An example of a $T_1$ space where all closed $G_\delta$ sets are zero-sets, but it isn't normal

In Engelking's General topology, in the exercises section, there is Ju. M. Smirnov's characterization of normal spaces: A $T_1$ space is normal iff the following properties hold (both): Every closed $...

O. Frink's characterization of completely regular spaces

Def: Suppose X is topological space and B is a base for it. We say, that B is normal base, if following properties hold: a. For any x∈X and A∈B, with x∈A, there exist A′∈B, such that x∉A′ and A∪A′=X. ...

Countable open covering of normal space

I read the following claim in Z.Frolik's article "A generalization of realcompact spaces" on page 135. Two subset $M$ and $N$ of a space $X$ are called completely seperated if there exists a ...

If the normalization is affine, is it affine? (if quasiaffine)

I was surprised to find out that, even if the normalization $X^\nu$ of a scheme $X$ is affine, $X$ may not be affine (remove the line $x=y$ from their example to make the source affine). In the ...

G Theory Localization Sequence without "quasiseparated"

Let $U \subseteq X$ be an open and $Z := X \setminus U$ its closed complement. I want a sequence $$G_0(Z) \to G_0(X) \to G_0(U) \to 0.$$ However $X, U$ are not quasiseparated and perhaps not even ...

Are there minimal topological conditions on a space $X$ for it to have a countable separating set? A separating set here is a set $D \subset C(X)$ (where $C(X)$ is the space of continuous functions ...

Is the lexicographic ordering on the unit square perfectly normal?

It's known that order topology is completely normal, so the lexicographic ordering on the unit square is also completely normal. It's also known that the lexicographic ordering on the unit square is ...

Generalizing the $T_0$-axiom

The starting point of this question is a slight reformulation of the $T_0$ separation axiom: A topological space $(X,\tau)$ is $T_0$ if for all $x\neq y\in X$ there is a set $U\in \tau$ such that $$\{...

Does regular $G_\delta$ imply normal?

I'm trying to prove that if every closed set in a topological space is regular $G_\delta$, then the space is normal. By regular $G_\delta$, I mean for any closed set $A$, there exists a countable ...

Is each Lindelof closed $\bar G_\delta$-set of a Tychonoff space functionally closed?

A subset $F$ if a topological space $X$ is called functionally closed if $F=f^{-1}(0)$ for some continuous map $f:X\to[0,1]$. It is clear that each functionally closed set $F$ in $X$ is a closed $G_\...
