This paper studies knots in three dimensional projective space. Techniques in virtual knot theory are applied to obtain a Jones polynomial for projective links and it is shown that this is equivalent to the Jones polynomial defined by Drobotukhina. A Khovanov homology theory for projective knots is constructed by using virtual Khovanov homology and the virtual Rasmussen invariant of Dye, Kaestner, and Kauffman. This homology theory is compared with the Khovanov theory developed by Manolescu and Willis for projective knots. It is shown that these theories are essentially equivalent, giving new viewpoints for both methods. The paper ends with problems about these approaches and an example of multiple projectivizations of the figure-8 knot whose equivalence is unknown at this time.

Knot mosaics were introduced by Kauffman and Lomonaco in the context of quantum knots, but have since been studied for their own right. A classical knot mosaic is formed on a square grid. In this work, we identify opposite edges of the square to form mosaics on the surface of a torus. We provide two algorithms for efficiently constructing toric mosaics of torus knots, providing upper bounds for the toric mosaic number. Using these results and a computer search, we provide a census of known toric mosaic numbers.

We extend the characterization of the hereditary Baireness of the Vietoris hyperspace of separable metric spaces given by Gartside, Medini, and Zdomskyy [3] to the class of regular topological spaces of countable type. A theorem of Bouziad, Holá, and Zsilinszky [2] is also extended in a similar way.

A chaotic group action is a nonminimal, topologically transitive continuous group action with dense periodic points. In this paper, we discuss indecomposability for a continuous group action and prove that indecomposability is an equivalent definition of topological transitivity. Moreover, we prove that any infinite compact subset of the real line having a chaotic group action is homeomorphic to the middle third Cantor set.

We introduce “weakly chained spaces”, which in the metric case can be defined in a single paragraph using only the definition of “metric space”. Using this simple notion we more or less completely resolve the question of when a metrizable space X has a generalized universal covering map, which we call the uniform universal cover (UU-cover): if and only if it is weakly chained. These concepts are defined for uniform spaces, but one may extend all results to metrizable topological spaces via the fine uniformity, and we describe the relationship between this work and that of Fischer-Zastrow on generalized universal covers. We also show that the UU-cover has the analogous properties to those of the traditional universal cover: universal, lifting, uniqueness and functorial.
One of our main results concerns conditions under which an inverse limit of metric spaces is weakly chained. This theorem, in turn, has applications (in another paper) to boundaries of geodesically complete, co-compact, proper CAT(0) spaces, which may be regarded as inverse limits of the (weakly chained) metric spheres at a basepoint.

The main purpose of this paper is to reveal some finer links between d-spaces and -spaces by introducing and studying a new class of -spaces — strongly well-filtered spaces. The relationships among -spaces, -spaces, sober spaces, (strongly) well-filtered spaces and (strong) d-spaces are discussed. It is shown that if and is closed for any nonempty closed set A and saturated compact set K of a -space X, then X is strongly well-filtered. An unexpected result is proved which states that for any poset P, the Scott space ΣP is a strong d-space iff it is strongly well-filtered. So the Scott space of a complete lattice is always strongly well-filtered. Some basic properties of strongly well-filtered spaces are investigated. It is shown that the strong well-filteredness is closed-hereditary and saturated-hereditary, and every retract of a strongly well-filtered space is strongly well-filtered. We give two Scott spaces which are strongly well-filtered and an R-space but their product space is not a strong d-space. This answers an open question posed by Lawson and Xu. Hence the category S- of strongly well-filtered spaces and continuous mappings is not reflective in the category of -spaces and continuous mappings. Finally, we investigate the conditions under which the Smyth power space and Scott power space of a -space is strongly well-filtered. Several such conditions are given.

We give a new bound for the cardinality of a Tychonoff homogeneous space using cozero sets. This leads to improved cardinal inequalities for compact homogeneous spaces that generalize to the locally compact setting. In this connection it is also shown that for any Hausdorff space X, where is the point-wise compactness type of X. This extends Arhangel′skiĭ's result that when X is compact Hausdorff. In addition pseudocompactness is investigated in connection with homogeneity. Among other results, we show that if X is a ccc locally compact noncompact space such that the one-point compactification of X is homogeneous and has character , then X is pseudocompact. It follows that if X is either or and then is pseudocompact.

The primary objective of this work is to construct spaces that are “pseudocompact but not countably compact”, abbreviated as P-NC, while endowing them with additional properties.
First, motivated by an old problem of van Douwen concerning first countable P-NC spaces with countable extent, we construct from CH a locally compact and locally countable first countable P-NC space with countable spread.
A space is deemed densely countably compact, denoted as DCC for brevity, if it possesses a dense, countably compact subspace. Moreover, a space qualifies as densely relatively countably compact, abbreviated as DRC, if it contains a dense subset D such that every infinite subset of D has an accumulation point in X.
A countably compact space is DCC, a DCC space is DRC, and a DRC space is evidently pseudocompact. The Tychonoff plank is a DCC space but is not countably compact. A Ψ-space belongs to the class of DRC spaces but is ¬DCC. Lastly, if is not a P-point, then , representing the type of p in , constitutes a pseudocompact subspace of that is ¬DRC.
When considering a topological property denoted as Q, we define a space X as “R-hereditarily Q” if every regular closed subspace of X also possesses property Q. The Tychonoff plank and the Ψ-space are not R-hereditary examples for separating the above-mentioned properties. However, the aforementioned space is an R-hereditary example, albeit not being first countable.
In this paper we want to find (first countable) examples which separate these properties R-hereditarily. We have obtained the following result.
(1)
There is a R-hereditarily “DCC, but not countably compact” space.
(2)
If CH holds, then there is a R-hereditarily “DRC, but ¬DCC” space.
(3)
If , then there is a first countable, R-hereditarily “pseudocompact, but ¬DRC” space.
In contrast to (2), it is unknown whether a first countable, R-hereditarily “DRC, but ¬DCC” space X can exist.

It is shown that if Q is a , hereditary subset of and is the coherent list on X associated with Q, then a group action version of Kuratowski-Mycielski theorem holds.
Meanwhile, we construct a non-trivial transitive system with G a countable abelian group, such that there exist some special invariant chaotic sets in X. Specifically, there exists a G-invariant, n--scrambled, uniformly chaotic set in .

In this paper, we discuss the relationships among -compactness, star countability, star Lindelöfness, star almost Lindelöfness and star weakly Lindelöfness in different spaces. We mainly give the following:
(1)
For a subspace X of an ordinal, X is star weakly Lindelöf if and only if it is -compact.
(2)
For subspaces A and B of an ordinal, is star weakly Lindelöf if and only if it is -compact.
(3)
For a subspace X of , X is star weakly Lindelöf if and only if it is -compact.
