On the $C_k$-stable closure of the class of (separable) metrizable spaces

Denote by $\mathbf C_k[\mathfrak M]$ the $C_k$-stable closure of the class $\mathfrak M$ of all metrizable spaces, i.e., $\mathbf C_k[\mathfrak M]$ is the smallest class of topological spaces that contains $\mathfrak M$ and is closed under taking subspaces, homeomorphic images, countable topological sums, countable Tychonoff products, and function spaces $C_k(X,Y)$ with Lindelöf domain. We show that the class $\mathbf C_k[\mathfrak M]$ coincides with the class of all topological spaces homeomorphic to subspaces of the function spaces $C_k(X,Y)$ with a separable metrizable space $X$ and a metrizable space $Y$. We say that a topological space $Z$ is Ascoli if every compact subset of $C_k(Z)$ is evenly continuous; by the Ascoli Theorem, each $k$-space is Ascoli. We prove that the class $\mathbf C_k[\mathfrak M]$ properly contains the class of all Ascoli $\aleph_0$-spaces and is properly contained in the class of $\mathfrak P$-spaces, recently introduced by Gabriyelyan and Kąkol. Consequently, an Ascoli space $Z$ embeds into the function space $C_k(X,Y)$ for suitable separable metrizable spaces $X$ and $Y$ if and only if $Z$ is an $\aleph_0$-space.

The Ascoli property for function spaces

The paper deals with Ascoli spaces $C_p(X)$ and $C_k(X)$ over Tychonoff spaces $X$. The class of Ascoli spaces $X$, i.e. spaces $X$ for which any compact subset $K$ of $C_k(X)$ is evenly continuous, essentially includes the class of $k_{\mathbb R}$-spaces. First we prove that if $C_p(X)$ is Ascoli, then it is $κ$-Fréchet-Urysohn. If $X$ is cosmic, then $C_p(X)$ is Ascoli iff it is $κ$-Fr'echet-Urysohn. This leads to the following extension of a result of Morishita: If for a Čech-complete space $X$ the space $C_p(X)$ is Ascoli, then $X$ is scattered. If $X$ is scattered and stratifiable, then $C_p(X)$ is an Ascoli space. Consequently: (a) If $X$ is a complete metrizable space, then $C_p(X)$ is Ascoli iff $X$ is scattered. (b) If $X$ is a Čech-complete Lindelöf space, then $C_p(X)$ is Ascoli iff $X$ is scattered iff $C_p(X)$ is Fréchet-Urysohn. Moreover, we prove that for a paracompact space $X$ of point-countable type the following conditions are equivalent: (i) $X$ is locally compact. (ii) $C_k(X)$ is a $k_{\mathbb R}$-space. (iii) $C_k(X)$ is an Ascoli space. The Asoli spaces $C_k(X,[0,1])$ are also studied.

Free locally convex spaces with a small base

The paper studies the free locally convex space $L(X)$ over a Tychonoff space $X$. Since for infinite $X$ the space $L(X)$ is never metrizable (even not Fréchet-Urysohn), a possible applicable generalized metric property for $L(X)$ is welcome. We propose a concept (essentially weaker than first-countability) which is known under the name a $\mathfrak{G}$-base. A space $X$ has a {\em $\mathfrak{G}$-base} if for every $x\in X$ there is a base $\{ U_α: α\in\mathbb{N}^\mathbb{N}\}$ of neighborhoods at $x$ such that $U_β\subseteq U_α$ whenever $α\leqβ$ for all $α,β\in\mathbb{N}^\mathbb{N}$, where $α=(α(n))_{n\in\mathbb{N}}\leq β=(β(n))_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ if $α(n)\leqβ(n)$ for all $n\in\mathbb{N}$. We show that if $X$ is an Ascoli $σ$-compact space, then $L(X)$ has a $\mathfrak{G}$-base if and only if $X$ admits an Ascoli uniformity $\mathcal{U}$ with a $\mathfrak{G}$-base. We prove that if $X$ is a $σ$-compact Ascoli space of $\mathbb{N}^\mathbb{N}$-uniformly compact type, then $L(X)$ has a $\mathfrak{G}$-base. As an application we show: (1) if $X$ is a metrizable space, then $L(X)$ has a $\mathfrak{G}$-base if and only if $X$ is $σ$-compact, and (2) if $X$ is a countable Ascoli space, then $L(X)$ has a $\mathfrak{G}$-base if and only if $X$ has a $\mathfrak{G}$-base.

On topological properties of the weak topology of a Banach space

Being motivated by the famous Kaplansky theorem we study various sequential properties of a Banach space $E$ and its closed unit ball $B$, both endowed with the weak topology of $E$. We show that $B$ has the Pytkeev property if and only if $E$ in the norm topology contains no isomorphic copy of $\ell_1$, while $E$ has the Pytkeev property if and only if it is finite-dimensional. We extend Schlüchtermann and Wheeler's result by showing that $B$ is a (separable) metrizable space if and only if it has countable $cs^\ast$-character and is a $k$-space. As a corollary we obtain that $B$ is Polish if and only if it has countable $cs^\ast$-character and is Čech-complete, that supplements a result of Edgar and Wheeler.
