Is a topology determined by its convergent sequences?

There is a category of "sequential spaces" in which objects are spaces defined by their convergent sequences and morphisms are those maps which send convergent sequences to convergent sequences. As s …

Which spaces have enough curves

Let $\mathbf{Top}$ be the category of topological spaces, and let $I\in\mathbf{Top}$ be the unit interval $I=[0,1]\subset\mathbb{R}$. For any space $X$, let $|X|$ denote the underlying set of points; …

Analogue of Urysohn metrization for Lawvere metric spaces?

Urysohn proved that any regular, Hausdorff, second-countable space $X$ is metrizable, i.e. there exists a metric space whose underlying topological space is $X$. But what if we ask the same question f …

The topologies for which a presheaf is a sheaf?

Given a set $S$, let $Top(S)$ denote the partially ordered set (poset) of topologies on $S$, ordered by fineness, so the discrete topology, $Disc(S)$, is maximal. Suppose that $Q$ is a presheaf on $ …

Is there a natural measurable structure on the $\sigma$-algebra of a measurable space?

If $(X,\Sigma)$ is a measurable space, I think you are asking for a $\sigma$-algebra structure on $|\Sigma|$, the underlying set of $\Sigma$. We can identify this set with the set of measurable functi …
