Recently, Mršević and Reilly discussed some covering properties of a topological space and its associated $α$-topology in both topological and bitopological ways. The main aim of this paper is to investigate some common and controversial covering properties of $\cal T$ and ${\cal T}^α$.

We have initiated the study of topology of the space of coverings on grid domains. The space has the following constraint: while all the covering agents can move freely (we allow overlapping) on the domain, their union must cover the whole domain. A minimal number $N$ of the covering agents is required for a successful covering of the domain. In this paper, we demonstrate beautiful topological structures of this space on grid domains in 2D with $N+1$ coverings, the topology of the space has the homotopy type of $1$ dimensional complex, regardless of the domain shape. We also present the Euler …
Using the idea of strong uniform convergence on bornology, Caserta, Di Maio and Kočinac studied open covers and selection principles in the realm of metric spaces (associated with a bornology) and function spaces (w.r.t. the topology of strong uniform convergence). We primarily continue in the line initiated before and investigate the behaviour of various selection principles related to these classes of bornological covers. In the process we obtain implications among these selection principles resulting in Scheepers' like diagrams. We also introduce the notion of strong-$\mathfrac{B}$-Hurewicz…
In this paper, we unify various approaches to generalized covering space theory by introducing a categorical framework in which coverings are defined purely in terms of unique lifting properties. For each category $\mathcal{C}$ of path-connected spaces having the unit disk as an object, we construct a category of $\mathcal{C}$-coverings over a given space $X$ that embeds in the category of $π_1(X,x_0)$-sets via the usual monodromy action on fibers. When $\mathcal{C}$ is extended to its coreflective hull $\mathscr{H}(\mathcal{C})$, the resulting category of based $\mathscr{H}(\mathcal{C})$-cove…
For a Hausdorff space $X$ we denote be $2^X$ the family of all closed subsets of $X$. In this paper we continue to research relationships between closure -type properties of hyperspaces over a space $X$ and covering properties of $X$. We investigate selectors for sequence of subsets of the space $2^{X}$ with the $Z^{+}$-topology and the upper Fell topology.
Lindelöf spaces are studied in any basic Topology course. However, there are other interesting covering properties with similar behaviour, such as almost Lindelöf, weakly Lindelöf, and quasi-Lindelöf, that have been considered in various research papers. Here we present a comparison between the standard results on Lindelöf spaces and analogous results for weakly and almost Lindelöf spaces. Some theorems, similar to the published ones, will be proved. We also consider counterexamples, most of which have not been included in the standard Topological textbooks, that show the interrelations betwee…
In this survey, 37 questions on point-countable covers and sequence-covering mappings are listed, in which some of these questions have been answered. These questions are mainly related to the theory of generalized metric spaces, involving point-countable covers, sequence-covering mappings, images of metric spaces and hereditarily closure-preserving families.
In this paper, we continue to investigate topological properties of $\mathcal{I}H$ and its two star versions namely $SS \mathcal{I} H$ and $S \mathcal{I} H$. We characterized $\mathcal{I}$-Hurewicz property by $\mathcal{I}$-Hurewicz Basis property and $\mathcal{I}$-Hurewicz measure zero property for metrizable spaces. We also characterized $\mathcal{I}$-Hurewicz property, star-$\mathcal{I}$-Hurewicz property and strongly star-$\mathcal{I}$-Hurewicz property using selection principles.
H. Fischer et al. (Topology and its Application, 158 (2011) 397-408.) introduced the Spanier group of a based space $(X,x)$ which is denoted by $\psp$. By a Spanier space we mean a space $X$ such that $\psp=π_1(X,x)$, for every $x\in X$. In this paper, first we give an example of Spanier spaces. Then we study the influence of the Spanier group on covering theory and introduce Spanier coverings which are universal coverings in the categorical sense. Second, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of Spanier coverings for non-homotopically path Hausdorff spaces. Finally, w…
We find some statements in the language of asymmetric topology and continuous partial orders which are equivalent to the statements $κ< \mathfrak m$ or $κ< \mathfrak p$.
We prove that if an ultrafilter L is not coherent to a Q-point, then each analytic non-sigma-bounded topological group G admits an increasing chain <G_a : a < b(L)> of its proper subgroups such that: (i) U_{a in b(L)} G_a=G; and $(ii)$ For every sigma-bounded subgroup H of G there exists a such that H is a subset of G_a. In case of the group Sym(w) of all permutations of w with the topology inherited from w^w this improves upon earlier results of S. Thomas.
This paper is devoted to the study of a natural group topology on the fundamental group which remembers local properties of spaces forgotten by covering space theory and weak homotopy type. It is known that viewing the fundamental group as the quotient of the loop space often fails to result in a topological group; we use free topological groups to construct a topology which promotes the fundamental group of any space to topological group structure. The resulting invariant, denoted $π_{1}^τ$, takes values in the category of topological groups, can distinguish spaces with isomorphic fundamental…
We study products of general topological spaces with Menger's covering property, and its refinements based on filters and semifilters. To this end, we extend the projection method from the classic real line topology to the Michael topology. Among other results, we prove that, assuming \CH{}, every productively Lindelöf space is productively Menger, and every productively Menger space is productively Hurewicz. None of these implications is reversible.
An inverse limit of a sequence of covering spaces over a given space $X$ is not, in general, a covering space over $X$ but is still a lifting space, i.e. a Hurewicz fibration with unique path lifting property. Of particular interest are inverse limits of finite coverings (resp. finite regular coverings), which yield fibrations whose fiber is homeomorphic to the Cantor set (resp. profinite topological group). To illustrate the breadth of the theory, we present in this note some curious examples of lifting spaces that cannot be obtained as inverse limits of covering spaces.
We show some basic results on the characterization of quasi-Polish spaces in terms of spaces of ideals, with an emphasis on the connections with computable topology.
In this paper, we introduce a thinness in sense to a type of relative capacity for weighted variable exponent Sobolev space. Moreover, we reveal some properties of this thinness and consider the relationship with finely open and finely closed sets. We discuss fine topology and compare this topology with Euclidean one. Finally, we give some information about importance of the fine topology in the potential theory.
We give a light introduction to selection principles in topology, a young subfield of infinite-combinatorial topology. Emphasis is put on the modern approach to the problems it deals with. Recent results are described, and open problems are stated. Some results which do not appear elsewhere are also included, with proofs.
