Universal maps between topological spaces

This seems to be answered negatively in "On the composition and products of universal mappings" by W. Holsztyński (Fundamenta Mathematicae 64(2) (1969), 181-188). I've not looked at the proof or real …

Minimal Hausdorffness reversed

Yes. Let $\tau$ be a non-Hausdorff topology on a set $X$. Suppose first that $\tau$ is not $T_1$, so there are two points $a,b\in X$ such that every open neighbourhood of $a$ contains $b$. Then $\t …

Which spaces have the (weak) homotopy type of compact Hausdorff spaces?

Expanding on my comment, if there are measurable cardinals then it follows from the results of A. Przeździecki, Measurable cardinals and fundamental groups of compact spaces. Fund. Math. 192 (2006), …

Free and cellular G-action implies free G-complex?

If $G$ acts freely on a CW-complex, permuting the cells, then the stabilizer of a cell must be finite (and therefore trivial, as pointed out in the question). This can be shown by induction on the di …

Is an open subset of a rigid space rigid?

The answers to (1) and (2) are "no" in general for metrizable spaces. Let $C$ be a connected compact metric space with more than one point, with the property that the only continuous self-maps of $C$ …
