Compact closed subsets in the patch topology

Given a coherent, well-filtered space X, one can give a pretty explicit description of the compact closed sets in Xpatch, the space obtained by equipping X with its patch topology—and we do not need local compactness or compactness. They are … Continue reading

Hoover’s maximal limit spaces II: products, liftings, retracts, function spaces, and hyperspaces

Last time, we had introduced Hoover’s maximal limit spaces: spaces in which every convergent filter has a unique largest limit. That notion is closed under many constructions, as we will see: products, liftings, retracts, notably, and that is elementary. The … Continue reading

Hoover’s maximal limit spaces I: local strong sobriety, bounded sup-completeness and weak Hausdorffness

In 1995, Douglas Hoover introduced and studied a notion of maximal limit spaces: spaces in which every convergent net has a unique largest limit. This has connections with many other kinds of spaces that we have explored already, and I … Continue reading

Weakly Hausdorff spaces, and locally strongly sober spaces

A funny convergence of topics happened a few weeks ago. Frédéric Mynard told me about so-called locally strongly sober spaces (which, I am ashamed to say, I had heard about but completely forgotten about). At the same time, I was … Continue reading
