Recent papers of Sharp [4] and Stephen [5] have shown that any finite topology with n points which is not discrete contains <(3/4)2” open sets, and that this inequality is best possible. We use the correspondence between finite TO-topologies and partial orders to find all non-homeomorphic topologies with n points and >(7/16)2” open sets. We determine which of these topologies are TO, and in the...

We review Bayesian approaches to model testing in general and to the assessment of topological hypotheses in particular. We show that the standard way of setting up Bayes factor tests of the monophyly of a group, or the placement of a sample sequence in a known reference tree, can be misleading. The reason for this is related to the well-known dependency of Bayes factors on model-specific prior...

Attention is drawn to the possibility of regarding the cerebral cortex as a physical system whose only excitations are topological. An attractive feature of such a hypothesis is that it is possible to understand how local dynamics could spontaneously give rise to a large scale organization of neurons and synapses that one might associate with sophisticated cognitive capabilities. It is suggeste...

We connect and solve two longstanding open problems in quite different areas: the model-theoretic question of whether SOP2 is maximal in Keisler’s order, and the question from general topology/set theory of whether p = t, the oldest problem on cardinal invariants of the continuum. We do so by showing these problems can be translated into instances of a more fundamental problem which we state an...

T he market potential is an indicator showing the level of market access and national demand for products of a region. The aim of this study is to study the effect of market potential on regional economic growth in 28 Iranian provinces over the years 2001–2011. In order to do that, a model of regional growth was estimated by using Spatial Dynamic Panel Data technique. This technique ...

Let M be a structure in some language. Assume M has elimination of imaginaries. Let X be a definable set. Definable will mean “definable with parameters.” By a definable topology, we mean a definable family of subsets {By ⊂ X}y∈Y which form the basis for some topology on X. The fact that these form a basis for a topology amounts to the claim that if y1, y2 have By1 ∩By2 6= ∅, then for every x ∈...

It is well known that the disconnectedness of a non-Archimedean totally ordered field in the order topology makes integration more difficult than in the real case. In this paper, we present a remedy to that difficulty and study measure theory and integration on the Levi-Civita field. After reviewing basic elements of calculus on the field, we introduce a measure that proves to be a natural gene...

In this paper, we analyze the main topological properties of a relevant class of topologies associated with spaces ordered by preferences (asymmetric, negatively transitive binary relations). This class consists of certain continuous topologies which include the order topology. The concept of saturated identification is introduced in order to provide a natural proof of the fact that all these s...

Salbany, S. and T. Todorov, Nonstandard and standard cornpactifications of ordered topological spaces, Topology and its Applications 47 (1992) 35-52. We construct the Nachbin ordered compactification and the ordered realcornpactification, a notion defined in the paper, of a given ordered topological space as nonstandard ordered hulls. The maximal ideals in the algebras of the differences of mon...
