On a nice embedding and the Ascoli theorem. (English) Zbl 1058.54007
The author derives Ascoli-like theorems for some set-open topologies and gives Ascoli-like statements, wich are focused on the set of functions. The following notations are used: $${\mathcal F}(X)$$, $${\mathcal F}_0(X)$$, $${\mathcal F}(\varphi)$$ and $${\mathcal F}_0(\varphi)$$ are the families of all filters on $$X$$, all ultrafilters on $$X$$, all refining filters of a filter $$\varphi$$ and all refining ultrafilters of $$\varphi$$, respectively. $${\mathcal P} (X)$$ denotes the power set of the set $$X$$ and $${\mathcal P}_0(X)={\mathcal P} (X)\setminus\{\varphi\}$$. For a point $$x\in X$$, $$\dot x$$ denotes the singleton filter generated from the base $$\{\{x\}\}$$. For a topological space $$(X,\tau)$$, $$q_\tau$$ denotes the convergence on $$X$$ induced by $$\tau$$, i.e., the relation $q:=\bigl\{(\varphi,x) \in{\mathcal F}(X)\times X: \varphi\supset\dot x\cap\tau\bigr\}$ between the filters on $$X$$ and the points of $$X$$. For $$B\in{\mathcal P}(X)$$ and $${\mathcal A}\subset {\mathcal P} (X)$$, set $$B^{-{\mathcal A}}= \{A\in{\mathcal A}:A\cap B\neq\varphi\}$$ and $$B^{+ {\mathcal A}}= \{A\in{\mathcal A}:A\cap B=\varphi\}$$, and $$\tau_{\ell,{\mathcal A} }$$ is the topology on $${\mathcal A}$$ generated by the subbase of all $$G^{-{\mathcal A}}$$, $$G\in\tau$$. For $$\varphi\neq \alpha\subset {\mathcal P}(X)$$, $$\tau_{d,{\mathcal A}}$$ is the topology on $${\mathcal A}$$ which is generated from the subbase of all $$B^{+{\mathcal A}}$$, $$B\in\alpha$$ and $$G^{-{\mathcal A}}$$, $$G\in\tau$$.
Definition 2.4. Let $$(X,\tau)$$ be a topological space. A subset $$A\subset X$$ is called weak relative complete in $$X$$, iff $\forall\varphi \in{\mathcal F}(A)\cap q^{-1}_\tau(X): {\mathcal F}(\varphi)\cap q^{-1}_\tau(A) \neq\varphi,$ i.e., every filter on $$A$$, which converges in $$X$$, has a refinement, converging in $$A$$.
Relating notions and the definition above the author gives the following statement:
Theorem 2.5. Let $$(X,\tau)$$ be a topological space, and let $$\alpha\subset{\mathcal P}(X)$$ consist of weak relative complete subsets of $$X$$. Then it holds for any $${\mathcal A}$$ with $$Cl (X)\subset {\mathcal A}\subset {\mathcal P}(X): ({\mathcal A}_0,\tau_{\alpha,{\mathcal A}_0})$$ is compact $$\Leftrightarrow(X,\tau)$$ is compact, where $$Cl(X)$$ denotes the family of all closed subsets of $$X$$, and $${\mathcal A}_0={\mathcal A} \setminus \{\varphi\}$$.
Relating Mizokami’s result that for Hausdorff spaces $$X$$ and $$Y$$ the function space $$C(X,Y)$$ endowed with the compact-open topology is isomorphic to a closed subspace of the function space $$C(K(X),K(Y))$$, endowed with the pointwise topology, where $$K (X), K(Y)$$ are the families of all compact subsets of $$X$$, $$Y$$, respectively, equipped with Vietoris topology, the author gives the following:
Lemma 3.4. Let $$(X,\tau)$$, $$(Y,\sigma)$$ be topological spaces, let $${\mathcal A}\subset{\mathcal P}_0(X)$$ contain the singletons and let $${\mathcal H} \subset Y^X$$ be endowed with $$\tau_{\mathcal A}$$. Then the map $\mu: {\mathcal H}\to\mu ({\mathcal H})=\bigl\{\mu(f): \mu(f):A\to F(A), f\in {\mathcal H}\bigr\} \subset{\mathcal P}_0(Y)^{\mathcal A}$ is open, continuous and bijective, where $${\mathcal A}$$ and $${\mathcal P}_0(Y)$$ are equipped with Vietoris topology, and $${\mathcal P}_0(Y)^{\mathcal A}$$ with pointwise topology.
Definition 3.6. Let $$(X,\tau)$$, $$(Y,\sigma)$$ be topological spaces and $${\mathcal A}\subset{\mathcal P}_0(X)$$. A subset $${\mathcal H}\subset Y^X$$ is called $${\mathcal A}$$-evenly continuous, iff for all $$A\in{\mathcal A}$$ holds $\forall {\mathcal F}\in{\mathcal F}_0 ({\mathcal H}),\;\varphi\in {\mathcal F}(A),x\in X:\bigl({\mathcal F} (x)@>\sigma>> y\bigr)\wedge(\varphi @>\tau>> x)\Rightarrow {\mathcal F} (\varphi) @>\sigma>>y.$ $${\mathcal H}$$ is called evenly continuous, iff it is $$\{X\}$$-evenly continuous. $${\mathcal H}$$ is called evenly continuous on $$K\subset X$$, iff $${\mathcal H}_\mathbb{K}=\{f|_K: \mathbb{K}\to Y: f\in{\mathcal H}\}$$ is evenly continuous.
The following propositions are shown to be related to the Ascoli theorem: Lemma 3.10. (Essential Ascoli) Let $$(X,\tau)$$, $$(Y,\sigma)$$ be topological spaces and $${\mathcal A}\subset{\mathcal P}_0 (X)$$. Let $${\mathcal H}\subset C(X,Y)$$ and $${\mathcal F}$$ an ultrafilter on $${\mathcal H}$$, which converges pointwise to a function $$g\in C(X,Y)$$. Then the following holds:
1. If $${\mathcal A}$$ consists only of relative compact subsets of $$X$$, $${\mathcal H}$$ is $${\mathcal A}$$-evenly continuous and the images of all members of $${\mathcal A}$$ under $$g$$ are closed in $$Y$$, then $$\mu({\mathcal F})$$ converges pointwise to $$\mu(g)$$ in $$C({\mathcal A},C_Y({\mathcal A}))$$, where $$C_Y({\mathcal A})= \{f(A):A\in{\mathcal A}$$, $$f\in C(X,Y)\}$$.
2. If $${\mathcal A}$$ consists only of compact subsets of $$X$$ and $${\mathcal H}$$ is evenly continuous on all members of $${\mathcal A}$$, then $$\mu({\mathcal F})$$ converges pointwise to $$\mu(g)$$ on $$C({\mathcal A}, C_Y({\mathcal A}))$$.
Theorem 3.14. Let $$(X,\tau)$$, $$(Y,\sigma)$$ be topological spaces and $${\mathcal A}\subset{\mathcal P}_0(X)$$ contain singletons. Then a set $${\mathcal H}\subset Y^X$$ is relative compact in $$(Y^X,\tau_a)$$ if and only if
1. for all ultrafilters $${\mathcal F}$$ on $${\mathcal H}$$ with $${\mathcal F} @>p>> f\in Y^X$$ exists a function $$g\in Y^X$$ such that $$\mu({\mathcal F}) @>p>> \mu(g) \in{\mathcal P}_0 (Y)^{\mathcal A}$$, where $${\mathcal P}_0(Y)$$ is equipped with the Vietoris topology, and
2. for all $$A$$, the family $$\mu({\mathcal H}(A)= \{f(A): f\in{\mathcal H}\}$$ is relative compact in $${\mathcal P}_0(Y)$$ with respect to the Vietoris topology.
