Let X be a metric continuum, and let n be a positive integer. We denote by the hyperspace consisting of all nonempty closed subsets of X with at most n points. For , the n-fold symmetric product suspension of X is the quotient space . In this paper, we prove that if X is a meshed continuum, , and Y is a continuum such that is homeomorphic to , then X is homeomorphic to Y.

The property of selectively separable is well-studied and generalizations such as H-separable and wH-separable have also generated much interest. Bardyla, Maesano, and Zdomskyy proved from Martin's Axiom that there are countable regular wH-separable spaces that are not H-separable. We prove there is a ZFC example. Their example was also Fréchet-Urysohn, and we produce two additional examples from weaker assumptions.

We introduce the notion of contact round surgery of index 1 on Legendrian knots in a general contact 3-manifold. It generalizes the notion of contact round surgery of index 1 on Legendrian knots introduced by Adachi. In , we introduce the notion of contact round surgery of index 2 on a Legendrian knot and realize Adachi's contact round 2-surgery on a convex torus as a contact round surgery of index 2 on a Legendrian knot in . We associate surgery diagrams to contact round surgeries of indices 1 and 2 on Legendrian knots in . With this set up, we show that every closed connected contact 3-manifold can be obtained by performing a sequence of contact round surgeries on some Legendrian link in , thus obtaining a contact round surgery diagram for each contact 3-manifold. This is analogous to the result of Ding-Geiges for contact Dehn surgeries. We also discuss a bridge between certain pairs of contact round surgery diagrams of indices 1 and 2, and contact -surgery diagrams. We use this bridge to establish the result mentioned above. In the end, we derive a corollary that gives sufficient conditions on contact round surgeries to produce symplectically fillable manifolds.

We show that two kinds of trisection diagrams for the doubles of the Mazur type 4-manifolds introduced by Akbulut and Kirby are standard. One is constructed by doubling a certain relative trisection diagram of the Mazur type 4-manifold. The other is constructed using an algorithm for taking Kirby diagrams to trisection diagrams.

It is known that Morse-Smale diffeomorphisms have the shadowing property; however, the question of whether also has the shadowing property when f is Morse-Smale remains open and has been resolved only in a few specific cases [3]. We prove that if is a time-one-map of Morse gradient flow, the induced map on the hyperspace of subcontinua does not have the shadowing property.

The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the extensions of -convex spaces and further to study the right Kan convex spaces from the viewpoints of classical convexity theory and lattice-theoretic approach. Firstly, we show that the strict (strictly dense) extensions of an -convex space are completely determined by the convex subspaces of ΦX () containing all the principal Scott closed subsets of , up to convex-homeomorphism, where () ΦX is the set of all the (proper) Scott closed subsets of ; Secondly, we introduce the notion of right Kan convex spaces and present several necessary and sufficient conditions for -convex spaces to be right Kan; Moreover, we show that the set of all the dense Scott closed subsets of an -convex space X as a convex subspace of ΦX is essential in the category of -convex spaces, but not an injective hull of X in general; Finally, from the lattice-theoretic approach, by introducing the notion of convex elements of a continuous lattice L, we show that L equipped with the convex structure generated by the family as a subbase is a right Kan convex space iff every element of L is convex and build a relationship between the convex elements and Scott closed subsets of L. In particular, we show that a convex subset of X is a convergence set iff it is a convex element of .

Here we give a classification of differentiable structures on another non-Hausdorff one-dimensional manifold (called letter “Y”) obtained by gluing two copies of via the identity map of positive reals. It turns out that, in contrast to the real line, for every , both manifolds and admit uncountably many pair-wise non-diffeomorphic -structures.
We also observe that the proofs of these classifications are very similar. This allows to formalize the arguments and extend them to a certain general statement about arrows in arbitrary categories.
