In this paper there are investigated spaces , where is a family of filters on a set X. In particular there is shown that for countable X the space always has a one-to-one continuous map (=function) onto , but if consists of ultrafilters, then never admits irreducible one-to-one continuous map onto . Moreover, if consists of nowhere dense ultrafilters, then the space does not admit semi-open continuous maps onto . However, if each ultrafilter in is not nowhere dense, then the space possesses a semi-open continuous map onto .

We show that no crowded separable space with the Baire property can be a -space. We give a characterization of the -property of any space X in terms of the function space and construct an example of a pseudocompact -space which does not have the -property. It is also proved that there exists a dense subspace X of the Cantor cube such that is κ-Fréchet–Urysohn while X is not a -space. If CH holds, then there is a separable dense subspace such that is κ-Fréchet–Urysohn but X fails to be a -space.

Our aim is to study bordism of immersions beyond the metastable range, so . We focus on the case of and show that for any immersion of a nonboundary , M is bordant to and its triple point manifold is a boundary too. By contrast, we show that if is an immersion whose double point manifold is not a boundary then, up to addition in the relevant bordism group, f is bordant to an immersion of a boundary. Along the way, we record that an application of the Gaussian elimination over can be used to determine the submodule of A-annihilated elements in .”. We also review the method of computing the submodule of primitive elements in for X being path connected.
我们的目的是研究在亚稳范围以外的浸入Mn↑R2n−6的谱性,因此n∈{6,7,…,12}。我们着重讨论了n=11的情况,并证明了对于任意浸入的非边界f:M11 - R16, M是与P6×V5的边界,并且它的三点流形也是一个边界。通过对比,我们证明了如果f:M11 - R16是一个浸入,其双点流形不是边界,则在相应的边界群中,f与一个边界的浸入相邻。在此过程中,我们记录到在Z/2上应用高斯消去可以用来确定HnX中a湮灭元素的子模。我们也回顾了在H ^ H ^ QX中,当X是路径连通时,基元子模的计算方法。

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.

We study some metric and topological properties of spaces of equivariant operators. We define the notions of a compact perception pair, compactification of a perception pair, and compactification of a space of group equivariant non-expansive operators. We prove that every perception pair with totally bounded space of measurements, which is also rich enough to endow the common domain with a metric structure, can be isometrically embedded in a compact perception pair. Likewise, we prove that if the images of group equivariant non-expansive operators in a given space form a cover for their common codomain, then the space of such operators can be isometrically embedded in a compact space of group equivariant non-expansive operators, such that the new reference perception pairs are compactifications of the original ones having totally bounded data sets. Meanwhile, we state some compatibility conditions for these embeddings and show that they too are satisfied by our constructions.
