The Homeomorphism Problem for Countable Topological Spaces
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider the homeomorphism problem for countable topological spaces and investigate its descriptive complexity as an equivalence relation. It is shown that even for countable metric spaces the homeomorphism problem is strictly more complicated than the isomorphism problem for countable graphs and indeed it is not Borel reducible to any orbit equivalence relation induced by a Borel action of a Polish group. We also characterize the relative complexity of some other equivalence relations arising in the study. 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

One-point extensions of locally compact paracompact spaces
A space $Y$ is called an {em extension} of a space $X$, if $Y$ contains $X$ as a dense subspace. Two extensions of $X$ are said to be {em equivalent}, if there is a homeomorphism between them which fixes $X$ point-wise. For two (equivalence classes of) extensions $Y$ and $Y'$ of $X$ let $Yleq Y'$, if there is a continuous function of $Y'$ into $Y$ which fixes $X$ point-wise. An extension $Y$ ...
متن کاملHereditarily Homogeneous Generalized Topological Spaces
In this paper we study hereditarily homogeneous generalized topological spaces. Various properties of hereditarily homogeneous generalized topological spaces are discussed. We prove that a generalized topological space is hereditarily homogeneous if and only if every transposition of $X$ is a $mu$-homeomorphism on $X$.
متن کاملs-Topological vector spaces
In this paper, we have dened and studied a generalized form of topological vector spaces called s-topological vector spaces. s-topological vector spaces are dened by using semi-open sets and semi-continuity in the sense of Levine. Along with other results, it is proved that every s-topological vector space is generalized homogeneous space. Every open subspace of an s-topological vector space is...
متن کاملComputational Topology 5.1 Homotopy
In Lecture 4, we learned about an algebraic method for describing and classifying structures. In this lecture, we look at using algebra to find combinatorial descriptions of topological spaces. We begin by looking at an equivalence relation called homotopy that gives a classification of spaces that is coarser that homeomorphism, but respects the finer classification. That is, two spaces that ha...
