Feebly compact paratopological groups and real-valued functions

We present several examples of feebly compact Hausdorff paratopological groups (i.e., groups with continuous multiplication) which provide answers to a number of questions posed in the literature. It turns out that a 2-pseudocompact, feebly compact Hausdorff paratopological group G can fail to be a topological group. Our group G has the Baire property, is Fréchet–Urysohn, but it is not precompa...

Maximal (sequentially) compact topologies

We revisit the known problem whether each compact topology is contained in a maximal compact topology and collect some partial answers to this question. For instance we show that each compact topology is contained in a compact topology in which convergent sequences have unique limits. We also answer a question of D.E. Cameron by showing that each sequentially compact topology is contained in a ...

Locally Compact, Ω1-compact Spaces

This paper is centered on an extremely general problem: Problem. Is it consistent (perhaps modulo large cardinals) that a locally compact space X must be the union of countably many ω-bounded subspaces if every closed discrete subspace of X is countable [in other words, if X is ω1-compact]? A space is ω-bounded if every countable subset has compact closure. This is a strengthening of countable ...

Fuzzifying Strongly Compact Spaces and Fuzzifying Locally Strongly Compact Spaces

In this paper, some characterizations of fuzzifying strong compactness are given, including characterizations in terms of nets and pre -subbases. Several characterizations of locally strong compactness in the framework of fuzzifying topology are introduced and the mapping theorems are obtained.
