Abstract

Previously, we have investigated a natural smooth map onto the region surrounded by the graphs of two smooth real-valued functions in the plane converging to a same value or diverges to $+\infty$ or $-\infty$ simultaneously, at each infinity, and topological properties and combinatorial ones of its composition with the canonical projection. Here, we consider smooth functions with congruent or globally similar graphs instead. Here, the Reeb space of a smooth function on a manifold with no boundary is fundamental and important. This is the naturally topologized quotient space of the manifold, consisting of all connected components (contours) of the function and is a graph under a certain nice situation. Related studies also related to the present study were started due to interest of the author in theory of Reeb spaces of non-proper functions. For proper functions, in 2020s related studies have developed mainly due to Gelbukh and Saeki.

Maximal Center of Distances of Finite Ultrametric Spaces and Perfect Binary Trees

We investigate the finite ultrametric spaces $(X,d)$ that have a given cardinality of the center of distances and a minimal cardinality of the set $X$. It is shown that such spaces are isometric if and only if their centers of distances are the same. The representing trees of these spaces are characterized up to isomorphism.

A continuous $3$-distributive frame that is not $\omega$-distributive

We give a negative answer to the question, posed by Ern\'e, whether every $3$-distributive lattice is $\omega$-distributive. More precisely, we exhibit a continuous frame that is $\kappa$-distributive for every integer $\kappa\geq 2$, but is not a wide coframe. The frame is the open-set lattice of a compact, locally compact, countably based $T_0$ topological meet-semilattice, obtained from Lawson's construction in the logarithmic form described by Goubault-Larrecq. The failure of $\omega$-distributivity is witnessed by an explicit matrix with countably many nonempty finite rows: all row joins are the same nonzero element, whereas every choice of one entry from each row has meet zero. The same space answers negatively Ern\'e's accompanying question whether every $4$-web space is a wide web space. All properties of the construction needed for these conclusions are proved directly.

An overlooked weakening of perfect normality: Perfect regularity in spaces and locales

We introduce the notion of perfect regularity as an appropriate weakening of perfect normality, both for spaces and locales. Various characterizations are given, using Dedekind-MacNeille completions, injective hulls, and sublocales. We place the new class of perfectly regular frames among various well-studied classes of frames. We also introduce the construction of perfect regularization of a completely regular frame, compare it to Isbell's well-known booleanization construction, and argue that it is at least as important as the latter.
