IfXis a completely regular space, first we characterize those spacesCbXwhose compact sets are metrizable. Then we use this result to provide a general condition forXto ensure the metrizability of compact sets inCbX. Finally, we characterize those spacesCbXthat have aG-basis.

The main aim of the present note is to compare C(X) and C(υX), the spaces of real-valued continuous functions on a completely regular space X and its real 1–1 compactification υX, with regard to weak compactness and weak countable compactness. In a sense to be made precise below, it is shown that C(X) and C(υX) have the same absolutely convex weakly countably compact sets. In certain circumstances countable compactness may be replaced by compactness, in which case one obtains a nice representation of the Mackey completion of the dual space of C(X) (Theorems 5, 6, 7).

For a completely regular space X let G(X) be the Graev free topological group on X. While proving G(X) exists for completely regular spaces X, Graev showed that every pseudo-metric on X can be extended to a two-sided invariant pseudo-metric on the abstract group G(X). The free group topology on G(X) is usually strictly finer than this pseudo-metric topology. In particular this is the case when X is not totally disconnected (see Morris and Thompson [7]). It is of interest to know when G(X) has no small subgroups (see Morris [5]). Morris and Thompson [6] showed that this is the case if and only if X admits a continuous metric. The proof relied on properties of the free group topology and it is natural to ask if G(X) with its pseudo-metric topology has no small subgroups when and only when X admits a continuous metric. We show that this is the case. Topological properties of G(X) associated with the pseudo-metric topology have recently been studied by Joiner [3] and Abels [1].

In this paper we studyθ-regularity and its relations to other topological properties. We show that the concepts ofθ-regularity (Janković, 1985) and point paracompactness (Boyte, 1973) coincide. Regular, strongly locally compact or paracompact spaces areθ-regular. We discuss the problem when a (countably)θ-regular space is regular, strongly locally compact, compact, or paracompact. We also study some basic properties of subspaces of aθ-regular space. Some applications: A space is paracompact iff the space is countablyθ-regular and semiparacompact. A generalizedFσ-subspace of a paracompact space is paracompact iff the subspace is countablyθ-regular.

A connection between the separability and the countable chain condition of spaces withL-property (a topological spaceXhasL-property if for every topological spaceY, separately continuous functionf:X×Y→ℝand open setI⊆ℝ,the setf−1(I)is anFσ-set) is studied. We show that every completely regular Baire space with theL-property and the countable chain condition is separable and constructs a nonseparable completely regular space with theL-property and the countable chain condition. This gives a negative answer to a question of M. Burke.

We prove that any open subgroup of the free abelian topological group on a completely regular space is a free abelian topological group. Moreover, the free topological bases of both groups have the same covering dimension. The prehistory of this result is as follows. The celebrated Nielsen–Schreier theorem states that every subgroup of a free group is free, and it is equally well known that every subgroup of a free abelian group is free abelian. The analogous result is not true for free (abelian) topological groups [1,5]. However, there exist certain sufficient conditions for a subgroup of a free topological group to be topologically free [2]; in particular, an open subgroup of a free topological group on a kω-space is topologically free. The corresponding question for free abelian topological groups asked 8 years ago by Morris [11] proved to be more difficult and remained open even within the realm of kω-spaces. In the present paper a comprehensive answer to this question is obtained.

Abstract We strengthen, in various directions, the theorem of Garnett that every $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70E}$ -compact, completely regular space $X$ occurs as a Gleason part for some uniform algebra. In particular, we show that the uniform algebra can always be chosen so that its maximal ideal space contains no analytic discs. We show that when the space $X$ is metrizable, the uniform algebra can be chosen so that its maximal ideal space is metrizable as well. We also show that for every locally compact subspace $X$ of a Euclidean space, there is a compact set $K$ in some $\mathbb{C}^{N}$ so that $\widehat{K}\backslash K$ contains a Gleason part homeomorphic to  $X$ , and $\widehat{K}$ contains no analytic discs.

For a completely regular space X, G(X) denotes the free topological group on X in the sense of Graev. Graev proves the existence of G(X) by showing that every pseudo-metric on X can be extended to a two-sided invariant pseudo-metric on the abstract group G(X). It is natural to ask if the topology given by these two-sided invariant pseudo-metrics on G(X) is precisely the free topological group topology on G(X). If X has the discrete topology the answer is clearly in the affirmative. It is shown here that if X is not totally disconnected then the answer is always in the negative.
