Applications of the Stone-cech Compactification to Free Topological Groups
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this note the Stone-Cech compactification is used to produce short proofs of two theorems on the structure of free topological groups. The first is: The free topological group on any Tychonoff space X contains, as a closed subspace, a homeomorphic copy of the product space X". This is a generalization of a result of B. V. S. Thomas. The second theorem proved is C. Joiner's, Fundamental Lemma.

ON SOFT ULTRAFILTERS
In this paper, the concept of soft ultrafilters is introduced and some of the related structures such as soft Stone-Cech compactification, principal soft ultrafilters and basis for its topology are studied.
متن کاملEmbedding normed linear spaces into $C(X)$
It is well known that every (real or complex) normed linear space $L$ is isometrically embeddable into $C(X)$ for some compact Hausdorff space $X$. Here $X$ is the closed unit ball of $L^*$ (the set of all continuous scalar-valued linear mappings on $L$) endowed with the weak$^*$ topology, which is compact by the Banach--Alaoglu theorem. We prove that the compact Hausdorff space $X$ can ...
متن کاملOn the existence of Stone-Cech compactification
Introduction. In 1937 E. Čech and M.H. Stone independently introduced the maximal compactification of a completely regular topological space, thereafter called Stone-Čech compactification [8, 18]. In the introduction of [8] the non-constructive character of this result is so described: “it must be emphasized that β(S) [the Stone-Čech compactification of S] may be defined only formally (not cons...
متن کاملA pointfree version of remainder preservation
Recall that a continuous function $fcolon Xto Y$ between Tychonoff spaces is proper if and only if the Stone extension $f^{beta}colon beta Xtobeta Y$ takes remainder to remainder, in the sense that $f^{beta}[beta X-X]subseteq beta Y-Y$. We introduce the notion of ``taking remainder to remainder" to frames, and, using it, we define a frame homomorphism $hcolon Lto M$ to be $beta$-proper, $lambd...
متن کاملOn the G-compactification of Products
Let β G X denote the maximal equivariant compactiίication (G-com-pactίfication) of the G-space X (i.e. a topological space X, completely regular and Hausdorff, on which the topological group G acts as a continuous transformation group). If G is locally compact and locally connected, then we show that β G (XX Y) = β G X X β G Y if and only if X X Y is what we call G-pseudocompact, provided X and...
