Recent Progress in General Topology II (Hardcover): M. Husek, J Van Mill Recent Progress in General Topology II (Hardcover)
M. Husek, J Van Mill
R5,591 Discovery Miles 55 910 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

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.

Recent Progress in General Topology (Hardcover): M. Husek, J Van Mill Recent Progress in General Topology (Hardcover)
M. Husek, J Van Mill
R6,576 Discovery Miles 65 760 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

These papers survey the developments in General Topology and the applications of it which have taken place since the mid 1980s. The book may be regarded as an update of some of the papers in the Handbook of Set-Theoretic Topology (eds. Kunen/Vaughan, North-Holland, 1984), which gives an almost complete picture of the state of the art of Set Theoretic Topology before 1984. In the present volume several important developments are surveyed that surfaced in the period 1984-1991.

This volume may also be regarded as a partial update of Open Problems in Topology (eds. van Mill/Reed, North-Holland, 1990). Solutions to some of the original 1100 open problems are discussed and new problems are posed.

The Infinite-Dimensional Topology of Function Spaces, Volume 64 (Hardcover, 1st ed): J Van Mill The Infinite-Dimensional Topology of Function Spaces, Volume 64 (Hardcover, 1st ed)
J Van Mill
R4,811 Discovery Miles 48 110 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

In this book we study function spaces of low Borel complexity.
Techniques from general topology, infinite-dimensional topology, functional analysis and descriptive set theory
are primarily used for the study of these spaces. The mix of
methods from several disciplines makes the subject
particularly interesting. Among other things, a complete and self-contained proof of the Dobrowolski-Marciszewski-Mogilski Theorem that all function spaces of low Borel complexity are topologically homeomorphic, is presented.
In order to understand what is going on, a solid background in
infinite-dimensional topology is needed. And for that a fair amount of knowledge of dimension theory as well as ANR theory is needed. The necessary material was partially covered in our previous book Infinite-dimensional topology, prerequisites and introduction'. A selection of what was done there can be found here as well, but completely revised and at many places expanded with recent results. A scenic' route has been chosen towards the
Dobrowolski-Marciszewski-Mogilski Theorem, linking the
results needed for its proof to interesting recent research developments in dimension theory and infinite-dimensional topology.
The first five chapters of this book are intended as a text for
graduate courses in topology. For a course in dimension theory, Chapters 2 and 3 and part of Chapter 1 should be covered. For a course in infinite-dimensional topology, Chapters 1, 4 and 5. In Chapter 6, which deals with function spaces, recent research results are discussed. It could also be used for a graduate course in topology but its flavor is more that of a research monograph than of a textbook; it is therefore
more suitable as a text for a research seminar. The book
consequently has the character of both textbook and a research monograph. In Chapters 1 through 5, unless stated
otherwise, all spaces under discussion are separable and
metrizable. In Chapter 6 results for more general classes of spaces are presented.
In Appendix A for easy reference and some basic facts that are important in the book have been collected. The book is not intended as a basis for a course in topology; its purpose is to collect knowledge about general topology.
The exercises in the book serve three purposes: 1) to test the reader's understanding of the material 2) to supply proofs of statements that are used in the text, but are not proven there
3) to provide additional information not covered by the text.
Solutions to selected exercises have been included in Appendix B.
These exercises are important or difficult.

Infinite-Dimensional Topology, Volume 43 - Prerequisites and Introduction (Hardcover): J Van Mill Infinite-Dimensional Topology, Volume 43 - Prerequisites and Introduction (Hardcover)
J Van Mill
R2,066 Discovery Miles 20 660 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

The first part of this book is a text for graduate courses in topology. In chapters 1 - 5, part of the basic material of plane topology, combinatorial topology, dimension theory and ANR theory is presented. For a student who will go on in geometric or algebraic topology this material is a prerequisite for later work. Chapter 6 is an introduction to infinite-dimensional topology; it uses for the most part geometric methods, and gets to spectacular results fairly quickly. The second part of this book, chapters 7 & 8, is part of geometric topology and is meant for the more advanced mathematician interested in manifolds.
The text is self-contained for readers with a modest knowledge of general topology and linear algebra; the necessary background material is collected in chapter 1, or developed as needed.
One can look upon this book as a complete and self-contained proof of Toruńczyk's Hilbert cube manifold characterization theorem: "a compact ANR X is a manifold modeled on the Hilbert cube if and only if X satisfies the disjoint-cells property." In the process of proving this result several interesting and useful detours are made.

Recent Progress in General Topology III (Hardcover, 2014 ed.): K. P Hart, J Van Mill, P. Simon Recent Progress in General Topology III (Hardcover, 2014 ed.)
K. P Hart, J Van Mill, P. Simon
R4,523 Discovery Miles 45 230 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

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, following the previous editions (North Holland, 1992 and 2002). The book was prepared in connection with the Prague Topological Symposium, held in 2011. During the last 10 years the focus in General Topology changed and therefore the selection of topics differs from that chosen in 2002. The following areas experienced significant developments: Fractals, Coarse Geometry/Topology, Dimension Theory, Set Theoretic Topology and Dynamical Systems.
