We initiate the study of ends of non-metrizable manifolds and introduce the notion of short and long ends. Using the theory developed, we provide a characterization of (non-metrizable) surfaces that can be written as the topological sum of a metrizable manifold plus a countable number of long pipes in terms of their spaces of ends; this is a direct generalization of Nyikoss bagpipe theorem.
P.J. Nyikos has asked whether it is consistent that every hereditarily normal manifold of dimension > 1 is metrizable, and proved it is if one assumes the consistency of a supercompact cardinal, and, in addition, that the manifold is hereditarily collectionwise Hausdorff. We are able to omit these extra assumptions.
Hanners theorem is a classical theorem in the theory of retracts and extensors in topological spaces, which states that a local ANE is an ANE. While Hanners original proof of the theorem is quite simple for separable spaces, it is rather involved for the general case. We provide a proof which is not only short, but also elementary, relying only on well-known classical point-set topology.
We prove that each metrizable space (of cardinality less or equal to continuum) has a (first countable) uniform Eberlein compactification and each scattered metrizable space has a scattered hereditarily paracompact compactification. Each compact scattered hereditarily paracompact space is uniform Eberlein and belongs to the smallest class of compact spaces, that contain the empty set, the singleton, and is closed under producing the Aleksandrov compactification of the topological sum of a family of compacta from that class.
Given a dynamical system $(X,f)$, we let $E(X,f)$ denote its Ellis semigroup and $E(X,f)^* = E(X,f) setminus {f^n : n in mathbb{N}}$. We analyze the Ellis semigroup of a dynamical system having a compact metric countable space as a phase space. We show that if $(X,f)$ is a dynamical system such that $X$ is a compact metric countable space and every accumulation point $X$ is periodic, then either each function of $E(X,f)^*$ is continuous or each function of $E(X,f)^*$ is discontinuous. We describe an example of a dynamical system $(X,f)$ where $X$ is a compact metric countable space, the orbit of each accumulation point is finite and $E(X,f)^*$ contains continuous and discontinuous functions.
Given a Lie group $G$ we study the class $M$ of proper metrizable $G$-spaces with metrizable orbit spaces, and show that any $G$-space $X in M$ admits a closed $G$-embedding into a convex $G$-subset $C$ of some locally convex linear $G$-space, such that $X$ has some $G$-neighborhood in $C$ which belongs to the class $M$. As corollaries we see that any $G$-ANE for $M$ has the $G$-homotopy type of some $G$-CW complex and that any $G$-ANR for $M$ is a $G$-ANE for $M$.
