Is the interval topology on ${\cal P}(\omega)/(\text{fin})$ connected?

If $(P,\leq)$ is a poset and $x\in X$, we let $\downarrow x = \{p\in P: p \leq x\}$, and $\uparrow x$ is defined dually. The collection $$\Big\{P\setminus (\downarrow x): x\in P\Big\} \cup \Big\{P\...

Can this order relation, defined in terms of all topological spaces, be defined in terms of the reals alone?

Let $K$ be the operator monoid under composition of Kuratowski's $14$ set operators generated by topological closure $k$ and complement $c.$ Kuratowski's 1922 paper gives the poset diagram of the ...

Order homomorphism functions on $\omega_1$

I posted the following question more than two years ago on MO (and then reposted on MSE), but the answer remains incomplete, so I thought I would rephrase it a bit (to make the statement clearer) and ...

Embedding ordinals with the order topology into connected $T_2$-spaces

Is there a limit ordinal $\kappa_0$ with $\kappa_0 \lt 2^{\aleph_0}$ and such that for every limit ordinal $\lambda$ with $\kappa_0\leq \lambda\lt 2^{\aleph_0}$ there is a connected $T_2$-space $X_\...

Is there some characterization of $\omega^\omega$-base related to $S_\omega$?

For a topological space $X$ and one point $x\in X$, we call the cofinal type of neighborhood bases of $x$ are cofinally finer than $\omega^\omega$-base if for any neighborhood base $\mathfrak{N}$ of $...

Topologies with no minimal $T_2$ topologies above them

Let $(X,\tau)$ be a topological space. With $T_2(\tau)$ we denote the collection of $T_2$-topologies on $X$ that contain $\tau$. Is there an example of a topology $\tau$ such that the partially ...

The Wallman and interval topologies on non-principal ultrafilters with the Rudin-Keisler preorder

If $(P,\leq)$ is a pre-odered set (that is, $\leq$ is a reflexive and transitive relation) and $x\in P$, we set $(\uparrow_{\leq} x) = \{p\in P: p\geq x\}$ and $(\downarrow_{\leq} x) = \{p\in P: p\leq ...

Minimal Hausdorff topologies compatible with a bunch of functions

Let $X$ be an infinite set, let ${\cal F}$ be a set of functions $f: X\to X$. We say that a topology $\tau$ is compatible with ${\cal F}$ if every $f\in {\cal F}$ is a continuous function $f:(X, \tau)\...
