Such a space $W(X)$ will be called the well-filterification of $X$. This result gives a positive answer to one of the major open problems on well-filtered spaces. Another result on well-filtered spaces we will prove is that the product of two well-filtered spaces is well-filtered.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-06-26T03:52:12.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "06B35", "06B30", "54A05" ], "keywords": [ "well-filtered space", "topological spaces", "well-filterification", "continuous mapping" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
