Cartesian-closed coreflective subcategories of Tychonoff spaces

Gloria Jean Tashjian

Vol. 81 (1979), No. 2, 547–558
Abstract

Let 𝒮 be a class of spaces in the category of Tychonoff spaces and let co(𝒮) be its coreflective hull in that category, with coreflector c.

Let τ be the topology of uniform convergence on the set of continuous maps C(X,Y ).

For κ 0 let 𝒮(κ) be the collection of all Tychonoff spaces which are pseudo-κ-compact and m-discrete for every m < κ.

Theorem. The following are equivalent:

  1. co(𝒮) is cartesian-closed and the exponential objects for S ∈ 𝒮 and Y co(𝒮) are the spaces cτC(S,Y ).
  2. The projection π : c(S × T) S is z-closed for each S,T ∈𝒮.
  3. Either co(𝒮) is the category of discrete spaces, or there exists κ 0 and a finitely productive subfamily 𝒮′ of 𝒮(κ) such that 𝒮𝒮′co(𝒮).

Furthermore, if 𝒮 is map-invariant, then (a) implies that all spaces in 𝒮 are pseudocompact.

Several examples are given.
