On the continuity a function given by evaluating compact subsets of smooth functions

The maps $F_K$ are certainly upper semicontinuous, because, by the regularity property of the Lebesgue measure, for every $x\in M$ and for $\epsilon>$ there exists $\delta>0$ such that the uniform $\d …

Closure of $C([0,1]^2)$ via weak*-topology

Let's look more closely at the inclusions you wrote. The first, $C\subset L^1$, is dense w.r.to the $L^1$-norm (for this, it is sufficient to note that the $\|\cdot\|_1$-closure of $C$ contains the c …

Questions on the compactness of $L_1([0,1]^2)$'s unit sphere

The assumption on $(f_i)_i\subset U$ can be stated equivalently: For all $h\in C([0,1]^2)$, the sequence $\int f_ih $ is Cauchy on $\mathbb R$, or also, equivalently: For all $h\in C([0,1]^2)$ it is c …

Limit sequence of regular function in $L_1$‘s unit sphere

To rephrase the question in simple terms. Let's use two different intervals $I:=[a,b]$ and $J:=[c,d]$ for more clarity. Let a sequence $(f_n)_{n\in\mathbb N}$ of integrable functions on the rectangle …

On a metrized $n$-dimensional manifold $X$, does every $x \in X$ have a small ball $B_\delta...

Here is, as an example, a sort of "mosquito coil" shaped curve $X\sim\mathbb R$ in $\mathbb R^3$, endowed with the induced Euclidean norm. Let $\Gamma \subset \mathbb R^2$ a pressed logarithmic spira …

A finite dimensional continuum with a subset $A$ such that both $A$ and $X\setminus A$ are d...

A fancy decomposition of the closed unit disk $X$ of $ \mathbb{C}$ into two dense contractible sets. Let $D_1$, $D_2$ be a $2$-partition of the interval $[0,1]$ into dense sets. Consider the disjo …

Is $\mathbb{R}^3 \setminus \mathbb{Q}^3$ simply connected?

Since the conversation seems to focus on the density issue in Martin M. W.'s proof: yes, density is really as obvious as the openness. If $h^s(t)$ is a free homotopy in $\mathbb R^3$ between loops $h …

Every real-valued continuous function on a closed set of compact Hausdorff space has an exte...

If you like to see the Tietze theorem from a Functional Analysis viewpoint, another possibility is by means of the following basic lemma (extracted from the original Urysohn proof), stating that a cer …

Simple closed curves in a simply connected domain

Let $B_r(y)\subset\mathbb C$ denote the open disk of radius $r$ and center $y\in\mathbb C$, and $B_r:=B_r(0)$. Let $h:B_1\to U$ a homeomorphism (e.g. a Riemann mapping) . Then $\Gamma_r:=h(\partial …

Relation between two different definitions for relative sequential compactness

On the matter of what definition is preferable. Let me add that the same question may be asked for the countably version, that has $\omega$-accumulation point in place of limit of a subsequence: $A$ …

Smooth Urysohn's lemma on Fréchet spaces

A bump function on a Banach space $X$ is a non-zero function with bounded support. Existence of a bump function of a given smooth regularity has, of course, strong immediate consequences --by translat …

Density of linear subspaces in $C(K)$

Here is a counterexample for $K:=[0,1]$. There exists a Borel set $B\subset K$ that meets every non-empty open set $A\subset K$ in a subset of it of positive, not full Lebesgue measure: $0<|A\cap B|<| …

Can such a set be simply connected?

Let $I_0$ be the interval where $f$ is a horizontal motion, and let $I_1$ the interval where it is a circular motion. So up to reparametrisation (and adopting complex notation) $I_0=[-3,0]$ and $I_1= …

On the boundary of a simply connected set

Here's a variant of Fernando Muro's construction. Let $X$ be the closure in $\mathbb R^2$of the graph of the function $g(x):=x\sin\big(1/\sin(1/x)\big)$ defined on $[0,+\infty)\setminus\{1/n\pi:n\in \ …

Does global boundedness ruin Stone-Weierstrass denseness?

If $c\notin\mathfrak{A}$ in general it is not true: e.g.: consider the case where $X$ is the real line , $\mathfrak{A}$ is the algebra of the polynomials, and $c$ is the function $-e^x$. Then $\mathfr …
