$PF$-well-filtered spaces

This paper solves two open problems concerning the well-filteredness of topological spaces. The first, due to Shen, Xi and Zhao\cite{shen2023further}, asks whether a space must be open well-filtered whenever its upper space is so; the answer is negative; the Hofmann-Lawson space provides a counterexample. The second, posed by Li, Yuan and Zhao\cite{li2020unified}, inquires whether $PF$-well-filteredness and $PF$- sobriety are equivalent under the assumption of local compactness; we answer it in the affirmative. Subsequently, we give characterizations of $PF$-sobriety and $PF$-well-filteredness for $T_0$ spaces, respectively. On the basis of the characterizations, we obtain the following result: $PF$-sobriety and $PF$-well-filteredness coincide on the Rudin spaces, which extends the previously established equivalence for locally compact spaces, as every locally compact space is a Rudin space. Furthermore, we give a counterexample to show that for nonempty $T_0$ topological spaces $X$ and $Y$, if $Y$ is a $PF$-well-filtered ($PF$-sober) space, then the function space consisting of all continuous maps from $X$ to $Y$ equipped with the Isbell topology may not be a $PF$-well-filtered ($PF$-sober) space even when $X$ is a core-compact space. We also prove that if the function space comprising all continuous maps from nonempty $X$ to $Y$ endowed with the Isbell topology is $PF$-well-filtered ($PF$-sober), then $Y$ is also $PF$-well-filtered ($PF$-sober) even though $PF$-sobriety and $PF$-well-filteredness are not preserved under retracts. Finally, we show that the reflective hull of the category of $PF$-well-filtered ($PF$-sober) spaces with continuous maps in $TOP_0$ is $TOP_0$.

A non-sober core-compact meet-continuous dcpo

We construct a meet-continuous dcpo whose Scott space is core-compact but neither sober nor locally compact. The example is a proper sub-dcpo of a locally compact sober complete lattice, and restriction induces an isomorphism between their lattices of Scott-closed sets. It follows that a locally compact sober dcpo need not be determined, among all dcpos, by its Scott-closed-set lattice.

On identities in connected topological groups

We construct a connected (indeed, path-connected) Hausdorff topological group G such that, for an odd n >= 665, the identity x^n = e holds in some neighbourhood of the identity but does not hold in the whole group. This answers in the negative a question of Mycielski and Aronszajn (Question 2.48 of the Kourovka Notebook). The construction uses the Graev extension of metrics to free topological groups and results of Adian and Adian-Atabekyan (for n > 10^10, alternatively, of Ol'shanskii and Ashmanov-Ol'shanskii) on free Burnside groups and their central extensions.
