Is any submetrizable linear topology linearly submetrizable?

Let $E$ be a vector space. A topology $\tau$ on $E$ is called (linearly) submetrizable if there is a (linear) metrizable topology $\pi$ on $E$ which is weaker than $\tau$, i.e. $\pi\subset\tau$. Is i …

Versions of the Fréchet–Urysohn property

Recall that a topological space is called Fréchet–Urysohn if every convergent net contains (as a set) a sequence, which is convergent to the same limit. I want to refine this property as follows. Let …

Description of atomless complete Boolean algebras with a countable $\pi$-base

Recall that a subset $A$ of a Boolean algebra $B$ is a $\pi$-base if for every $b>0$ there is $a\in A$ with $0<a\le b$. For example, the definition of atomicity says that atoms constitute a $\pi$-base …

For every sequence of nonempty open sets there is a disjoint sequence of nonempty open sets ...

I am looking for any information about the following property for a compact Hausdorff space $K$: For any sequence $\left(U_{n}\right)$ of nonempty open sets (not necessarily distinct) there is a disjo …

Approximating continuous functions from $K\times L$ into $[0,1]$

Let $K$ and $L$ be compact Hausdorff spaces, let $f:K\times L\to [0,1]$ be continuous and let $\varepsilon>0$. Can we find continuous $g_{1},...,g_{n}:K\to[0,+\infty)$ and $h_{1},...,h_{n}:L\to[0,+\in …

Pointwise convergence and disjoint sequences in $C(K)$

Let $K$ be a Hausdorff compact space and let $C(K)$ be the space of continuous real-valued functions on $K$. A sequence $(h_n)$ in $C(K)$ is called almost disjoint if there is a sequence $(g_n)$ with …

Parametrization of topological algebraic objects

There are several results of the following form: if an algebraic objects is endowed with a topology (or rather uniformity) which is somehow compatible with the algebraic structure, this uniformity is …

On the equality $\{f\in C(X), f|_A=0\}+\{f\in C(X), f|_B=0\}=\{f\in C(X), f|_{A\cap B}=0\}$

Let $X$ be a Tychonoff space, let $A,B\subset X$ be closed. Let $J_A$ be the set of all continuous on $X$ real-valued functions which vanish on $A$. For which $X$'s is it true that $J_A+J_B=J_{A\cap …

Let $K$ be a compact Hausdorff space and let $U,V\subset K$ be open. Let $\left(f_{i}\right)_{i\in I}$ be an increasing net of continuous non-negative functions such that $f_{i}\le 1$ and $f_{i}$ vani …

When can we divide continuous functions?

Let $X$ be a compact Hausdorff topological space such that for every continuous $f,g:X\to\mathbb{R}$ with $0\le f\le g$ there is a continuous $h:X\to\mathbb{R}$ such that $f=gh$. What can be said abo …

Can a point of a compact set be approximated by a disjoint union?

Let $K$ be compact Hausdorff, let $U\subset K$ be open and dense, and let $x\in K\backslash U$. Can we find a disjoint collection $\{U_i,~ i\in I\}$ of open subsets of $U$ and a collection $\{K_i,~ i\ …

Is the projectivization of a topological vector space Tychonoff?

Let $E$ be a locally convex topological vector space over $\mathbb{R}$. The projectivization $PE$ is the quotient of $E\backslash\{0_{E}\}$ with respect to the equivalence relation $e\sim f$ if $e=\la …
