Continuous selections of multivalued mappings
This survey covers in our opinion the most important results in the theory of
continuous selections of multivalued mappings (approximately) from 2002 through
2012. It extends and continues our previous such survey which appeared in
Recent Progress in General Topology, II, which was published in 2002. In
comparison, our present survey considers more restricted and specific areas of
mathematics. Note that we do not consider the theory of selectors (i.e.
continuous choices of elements from subsets of topological spaces) since this
topics is covered by another survey in this volume
On small homotopies of loops
Two natural questions are answered in the negative:
(1) If a space has the property that small nulhomotopic loops bound small
nulhomotopies, then are loops which are limits of nulhomotopic loops themselves
nulhomotopic?
(2) Can adding arcs to a space cause an essential curve to become
nulhomotopic?
The answer to the first question clarifies the relationship between the
notions of a space being homotopically Hausdorff and -shape injective.Comment: 12 pages, 5 figure
On linearly ordered -closed topological semilattices
We give a criterium when a linearly ordered topological semilattice is
-closed. We also prove that any linearly ordered -closed topological
semilattice is absolutely -closed and we show that every linearly ordered
semilattice is a dense subsemilattice of an -closed topological semilattice
On chains in -closed topological pospaces
We study chains in an -closed topological partially ordered space. We give
sufficient conditions for a maximal chain in an -closed topological
partially ordered space such that contains a maximal (minimal) element.
Also we give sufficient conditions for a linearly ordered topological partially
ordered space to be -closed. We prove that any -closed topological
semilattice contains a zero. We show that a linearly ordered -closed
topological semilattice is an -closed topological pospace and show that in
the general case this is not true. We construct an example an -closed
topological pospace with a non--closed maximal chain and give sufficient
conditions that a maximal chain of an -closed topological pospace is an
-closed topological pospace.Comment: We have rewritten and substantially expanded the manuscrip
Integrated cross-domain object storage in working memory: Evidence from a verbal-spatial memory task
Working-memory theories often include domain-specific verbal and visual stores (e.g., the phonological and visuospatial buffers of Baddeley, 1986), and some also posit more general stores thought to be capable of holding verbal or visuospatial materials (Baddeley, 2000; Cowan, 2005). However, it is currently unclear which type of store is primarily responsible for maintaining objects that include components from multiple domains. In these studies, a spatial array of letters was followed by a single probe identical to an item in the array or differing systematically in spatial location, letter identity, or their combination. Concurrent verbal rehearsal suppression impaired memory in each of these trial types in a task that required participants to remember verbal-spatial binding, but did not impair memory for spatial locations if the task did not require verbal-spatial binding for a correct response. Thus, spatial information might be stored differently when it must be bound to verbal information. This suggests that a cross-domain store such as the episodic buffer of Baddeley (2000) or the focus of attention of Cowan (2001) might be used for integrated object storage, rather than the maintenance of associations between features stored in separate domain-specific buffers
On extending actions of groups
Problems of dense and closed extension of actions of compact transformation
groups are solved. The method developed in the paper is applied to problems of
extension of equivariant maps and of construction of equivariant
compactifications
