We prove that the locally convex space $C_{p}(X)$ of continuous real-valued functions on a Tychonoff space $X$ equipped with the topology of pointwise convergence is distinguished if and only if $X$ is a $Delta$-space in the sense of cite {Knight}. As an application of this characterization theorem we obtain the following results: 1) If $X$ is a v{C}ech-complete (in particular, compact) space such that $C_p(X)$ is distinguished, then $X$ is scattered. 2) For every separable compact space of the Isbell--Mrowka type $X$, the space $C_p(X)$ is distinguished. 3) If $X$ is the compact space of ordinals $[0,omega_1]$, then $C_p(X)$ is not distinguished. We observe that the existence of an uncountable separable metrizable space $X$ such that $C_p(X)$ is distinguished, is independent of ZFC. We explore also the question to which extent the class of $Delta$-spaces is invariant under basic topological operations.
In our paper [18] we showed that a Tychonoff space $X$ is a $Delta$-space (in the sense of [20], [30]) if and only if the locally convex space $C_{p}(X)$ is distinguished. Continuing this research, we investigate whether the class $Delta$ of $Delta$-
As proved in [16], for a Tychonoff space $X$, a locally convex space $C_{p}(X)$ is distinguished if and only if $X$ is a $Delta$-space. If there exists a linear continuous surjective mapping $T:C_p(X) to C_p(Y)$ and $C_p(X)$ is distinguished, then $C
Hurewicz proved completely metrizable Menger spaces are /sigma-compact. We extend this to Cech-complete Menger spaces and consistently to projective Menger metrizable spaces. On the other hand, it is consistent that there is a co-analytic Menger space that is not /sigma-compact.
A theorem by Norman L. Noble from 1970 asserts that every product of completely regular, locally pseudo-compact k_R-spaces is a k_R-space. As a consequence, all direct products of locally compact Hausdorff spaces are k_R-spaces. We provide a streamlined proof for this fact.
We study products of general topological spaces with Mengers 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 othe
