The book presents surveys describing recent developments in most of
the primary subfields of
General Topology and its applications to Algebra and Analysis
during the last decade. It follows freely
the previous edition (North Holland, 1992), Open Problems in
Topology (North Holland, 1990) and
Handbook of Set-Theoretic Topology (North Holland, 1984). The book
was prepared in
connection with the Prague Topological Symposium, held in 2001.
During the last 10 years the focus
in General Topology changed and therefore the selection of topics
differs slightly from those
chosen in 1992. The following areas experienced significant
developments: Topological Groups, Function Spaces, Dimension
Theory, Hyperspaces, Selections, Geometric Topology
(including
Infinite-Dimensional Topology and the Geometry of Banach Spaces).
Of course, not every important topic
could be included in this book.
Except surveys, the book contains several historical essays written
by such eminent topologists as:
R.D. Anderson, W.W. Comfort, M. Henriksen, S.
Mardeŝić, J. Nagata, M.E. Rudin, J.M. Smirnov
(several reminiscences of L. Vietoris are added). In addition to
extensive author and subject indexes, a list of all problems and
questions posed in this book are added.
List of all authors of surveys:
A. Arhangel'skii, J. Baker and K. Kunen, H. Bennett and D. Lutzer,
J. Dijkstra and J. van Mill, A. Dow, E. Glasner, G. Godefroy, G.
Gruenhage, N. Hindman and D. Strauss, L. Hola and J. Pelant, K.
Kawamura, H.-P. Kuenzi, W. Marciszewski, K. Martin and M. Mislove
and M. Reed, R. Pol and H. Torunczyk, D. Repovs and P. Semenov, D.
Shakhmatov, S. Solecki, M. Tkachenko.
