Speaker: Rongxin Shen

Abstract. This is joint work with Heikki Junnila. The notion of a reflexive family of sets in topological spaces originated in research on the invariant subspace problem in functional analysis. In [Fund. Math., 192 (2006), 111--120], Yang and Zhao introduced the s-reflexive spaces in which reflexive families can be characterized in a simple way. We prove that every s-reflexive Hausdorff space is zero-dimensional, and we indicate a close relationship between the theory of s-reflexive spaces and that of continuous selections. Several examples relating to s-reflexivity are given. Also we will talk about some unsolved problems on this topic.

Hongfeng Guo will show that there is a monotonically monolithic space which has no predictable network under the assumption $$2^{\omega_0}<2^{\omega_1}$$.

This is joint work with Ziqin Feng.

Title: Open Questions Concerning Compactness Conditions in Moore Spaces

Abstract: All spaces are considered to be regular and T_1.

Definition. A space S is 1-starcompact if for each open covering U of S, there exists a finite subcollection V of U such that each member of U has non-empty intersection with a member of V.

Questions.

1. In  ZFC, is each 1-starcompact Moore space compact?

2. In ZFC, does there exist a first countable, 1-starcompact space that is not countable compact?

3. In ZFC, is each normal, separable Moore space Scott-representable?

4. In ZFC, does there exist a cwH Moore space that is not cwn with respect to compact sets?

5. Is there a consistent with ZFC example of a normal, locally compact, separable Moore space S such that the square of S is not normal?

The speaker presents construction techniques relevant to these open questions.

Speaker: Professor Huaipeng Chen, one of our visitors from China

Title: A stratifiable space which is not $$M_1$$.

Huaipeng will outline his idea for a possible example with the properties of the title.  If the example is correct, it would solve a 57-year-old problem in general topology.

Title: Seeking a Network Characterization of Corson Compacta.

Abstract: We will identify a characterization of Corson Compacta using base and point networks. This provides an answer to a question raised by A. Dow, H. Junnila, and J. Pelant, also by F. Garcia, L. Oncina, and J. Orihuela in their articles.
