<p>Skew compact spaces are the best behaving generalization of compact Hausdorff spaces to non-Hausdorff spaces. They are those (X ; τ ) such that there is another topology τ* on X for which τ V τ* is compact and (X; τ ; τ*) is pairwise Hausdorff; under these conditions, τ uniquely determines τ *, and (X; τ*) is also skew compact. Much of the theory of compact T<sub>2</sub> semigroups extends to this wider class. We show:</p> <p>A continuous skew compact semigroup is a semigroup with skew compact topology τ, such that the semigroup operation is continuous τ<sup>2</sup>→ τ. Each of these contains a unique minimal ideal which is an upper set with respect to the specialization order.</p> <p>A skew compact semigroup which is a continuous semigroup with respect to both topologies is called a de Groot semigroup. Given one of these, we show:</p> <p>It is a compact Hausdorff group if either the operation is cancellative, or there is a unique idempotent and S<sup>2</sup> = S.</p> <p>Its topology arises from its subinvariant quasimetrics.</p> <p>Each *-closed ideal ≠ S is contained in a proper open ideal.</p>

Given two topologies J1, J2 on a set X, J1 is said to be coarser than J2, written J1 ≦ J2, if every set open under J1 is open under J2. A minimal Hausdorff space is then one for which there is no coarser Hausdorff topology etc. Vaidyanathaswamy [4] showed that every compact Hausdorff space is both maximal compact and minimal Hausdorff. This raised the question of whether there exist minimal Hausdorff non-compact spaces and/or maximal compact non-Hausdorff spaces. These questions were in fact answered in the affirmative by Ramanathan [2], Balachandran [1], and Hing Tong [3]. Their examples were, however, all on countable sets, and the topology constructed to answer one question bore no relation to the topology answering the second. In particular, the minimal Hausdorff non-compact topologies were not finer than any maximal compact topology.

The purpose of this paper is to prove that o(l/x) is the best possible Tauberian condition for the collective continuous Hausdorff method of summation. The analogue of this result for the collective (discrete) Hausdorff method is known [1, pp. 229, ff.; 7, p. 318; 8, p. 254]. Our method involves generalizing a well-known Abelian theorem of Agnew [2] to locally compact spaces and then applying the analogue for integrals of a result Lorentz obtained for series [6, Theorem 1].Let T and X denote locally compact, non compact, σ-compact Hausdorff spaces. Let T′ = T ∪ (∞) and X′ = X ∪ (∞) denote the onepoint compactifications of T and X, respectively. Let B(T) denote the set of locally bounded, complex valued Borel functions on T and let B∞(T) denote the bounded functions in B(T).

AbstractThis is a sequel to the author's paper "On the semigroup of probability measures of a locally compact semigroup." We continue to investigate the relationship between amenability of spaces of functions and functionals associated with a locally compact semigroups S and its convolution semigroup MO(S) of probability measures and fixed point properties of actions of S and MO(S) on compact convex sets.

AbstractThis article fits in the context of the approach to topological problems in terms of the underlying convergence space structures, and serves as yet another illustration of the power of the method. More specifically, we spell out convergence-theoretic characterizations of the notions of weak base, weakly first-countable space, semi-metrizable space, and symmetrizable spaces. With the help of the already established similar characterizations of the notions of Frchet-Ursyohn, sequential, and accessibility spaces, we give a simple algebraic proof of a classical result regarding when a symmetrizable (respectively, weakly first-countable, respectively sequential) space is semi-metrizable (respectively first-countable, respectively Fréchet) that clarifies the situation for non-Hausdorff spaces. Using additionally known results on the commutation of the topologizer with product, we obtain simple algebraic proofs of various results of Y. Tanaka on the stability under product of symmetrizability and weak first-countability, and we obtain the same way a new characterization of spaces whose product with every metrizable topology is weakly first-countable, respectively symmetrizable.

AbstractThe compact semigroups in which each topologically simple subsemigroup is simple are characterized as those in which no subgroup sontains an element of infinite order. It is also shown that a locally compact toplogically simple subsemigroup of a compact semigroup must be simple. The note closes with an open problem.Subject classification (Amer. Math. Soc.

Let S be a compact semigroup and P(S) the set of probability measures on S. Suppose P(S) has zero θ and define a measure μ ε P(S) nilpotent if μn → θ. It is shown that any measure with support containing that of θ is nilpotent, and the set of nilpotent measures is convex and dense in P(S). A measure μ is called mean-nilpotent if (μ + μ2 + … + μn)/n → θ, and can be characterized in terms of its support.

An integral on a locally compact Hausdorff semigroup ς is a non-trivial, positive, linear functional μ on the space of continuous real-valued functions on ς with compact supports. If ς has the property: (A) for each pair of compact sets C, D of S, the set is compact; then, whenever and a ∈ S, the function fa defined by is also in . An integral μ on a locally compact semigroup S with the property (A) is said to be right invariant if for all j ∈ and all a ∈ S.

AbstractWe extend the well-known and important fact that “a topological space X is compact if and only if every ideal in C(X) is fixed”, to more general topological spaces. Some interesting consequences are also observed. In particular, the maximality of compact Hausdorff spaces with respect to the property of compactness is generalized and the topological spaces with this generalized property are characterized.

A sequential space(X,T)is called minimal sequential if no sequential topology onXis strictly weaker thanT. This paper begins the study of minimal sequential Hausdorff spaces. Characterizations of minimal sequential Hausdorff spaces are obtained using filter bases, sequences, and functions satisfying certain graph conditions. Relationships between this class of spaces and other classes of spaces, for example, minimal Hausdorff spaces, countably compact spaces, H-closed spaces, SQ-closed spaces, and subspaces of minimal sequential spaces, are investigated. While the property of being sequential is not (in general) preserved by products, some information is provided on the question of when the product of minimal sequential spaces is minimal sequential.

We study minimality for continuous actions of abelian semigroups on compact Hausdorff spaces with a free interval. First, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for such a space to admit a minimal action of a given abelian semigroup. Further, for actions of abelian semigroups we provide a trichotomy for the topological structure of minimal sets intersecting a free interval.
