Smooth Urysohn's lemma on Fréchet spaces
Let $V$ be a Fréchet topological vector space.
Let $K_0$ and $K_1$ be two closed subsets which are disjoint.
I wish to show the existence of a Fréchet-smooth function $f:V\to [0,1]$
whose restriction ...

A "simple" space with closed retracts but non-unique sequential limits
This question asking how KC ("Kompacts are Closed") and RC ("Retracts are Closed") are distinct has some good discussion, including a now-published example by Banakh and Stelmakh ...

Reference for k-Hausdorff (in terms of compact T2 images)
In Rezk - Compactly generated spaces a k-Hausdorff property is defined, between weakly Hausdorff and unique sequential limits.
On the other hand, a stronger notion of k-Hausdorff between $T_2$ and ...

The pro-discrete space of quasicomponents of a topological space
Let $X$ be a topological space.
Consider the functor $P^X : \textbf{Set} \to \textbf{Set}$ that sends each set $Y$ to the set of continuous maps $X \to Y$.
It is not hard to check that $P^X : \textbf{...

Property ${\bf B}$ for families of large sets with small intersection
Let $\kappa\geq \aleph_0$ be a cardinal. If $X\neq \emptyset$ is a set, we say that a family ${\cal C}\subseteq {\cal P}(X)$ has property ${\bf B}$ if there is $S\subseteq X$ such that for all $C\in {\...

For which $X$ is $X\times I$ collectionwise normal?
Many normality-type properties can be characterised in terms of products with the unit interval $I=[0,1]$. For instance, if $X$ is a Hausdorff space, then;
$X$ is normal and countably paracompact if ...

An example of a $T_1$ space where all closed $G_\delta$ sets are zero-sets, but it isn't normal
In Engelking's General topology, in the exercises section, there is Ju. M. Smirnov's characterization of normal spaces:
A $T_1$ space is normal iff the following properties hold (both):
Every closed $...

Stone-Čech boundary is not extremally disconnected
Recall that a topological space is called extremally disconnected if the closure of every open subset is still open. Every discrete space is of course extremally disconnected, and the standard non-...

If the normalization is affine, is it affine? (if quasiaffine)
I was surprised to find out that, even if the normalization $X^\nu$ of a scheme $X$ is affine, $X$ may not be affine (remove the line $x=y$ from their example to make the source affine). In the ...

G Theory Localization Sequence without "quasiseparated"
Let $U \subseteq X$ be an open and $Z := X \setminus U$ its closed complement. I want a sequence
$$G_0(Z) \to G_0(X) \to G_0(U) \to 0.$$
However $X, U$ are not quasiseparated and perhaps not even ...

The starting point of this question is a slight reformulation of the $T_0$ separation axiom: A topological space $(X,\tau)$ is $T_0$ if for all $x\neq y\in X$ there is a set $U\in \tau$ such that $$\{...

A subset $F$ if a topological space $X$ is called functionally closed if $F=f^{-1}(0)$ for some continuous map $f:X\to[0,1]$.
It is clear that each functionally closed set $F$ in $X$ is a closed $G_\...
