Cohen, Nicolas Graese, Ian Seong","doi":"10.53733/151","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.53733/151","url":null,"abstract":"Let $X$ be a space equipped with $n$ topologies $tau_1,ldots,tau_n$ which are pairwise comparable and saturated, and for each $1leq ileq n$ let $k_i$ and $f_i$ be the associated topological closure and frontier operators, respectively. Inspired by the closure-complement theorem of Kuratowski, we prove that the monoid of set operators $mathcal{KF}_n$ generated by ${k_i,f_i:1leq ileq n}cup{c}$ (where $c$ denotes the set complement operator) has cardinality no more than $2p(n)$ where $p(n)=frac{5}{24}n^4+frac{37}{12}n^3+frac{79}{24}n^2+frac{101}{12}n+2$. The bound is sharp in the following sense: for each $n$ there exists a saturated polytopological space $(X,tau_1,...,tau_n)$ and a subset $Asubseteq X$ such that repeated application of the operators $k_i, f_i, c$ to $A$ will yield exactly $2p(n)$ distinct sets. In particular, following the tradition for Kuratowski-type problems, we exhibit an explicit initial set in $mathbb{R}$, equipped with the usual and Sorgenfrey topologies, which yields $2p(2)=120$ distinct sets under the action of the monoid $mathcal{KF}_2$.","PeriodicalId":30137,"journal":{"name":"New Zealand Journal of Mathematics","volume":"52 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90067345","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This allows to prove generic versions of theorems that work with these completeness properties, such as fixed point theorems and related results. For the purpose of applying the generic theorems, it is important to have methods for the construction of new spherically complete ball spaces from existing ones. Given various ball spaces on the same underlying set, we discuss the construction of new ball spaces through set theoretic operations on the balls. A definition of continuity for functions on ball spaces leads to the notion of quotient spaces. Further, we show the existence of products and coproducts and use this to derive a topological category associated with ball spaces.","PeriodicalId":30137,"journal":{"name":"New Zealand Journal of Mathematics","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81748503","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
