Ordinals and scattered compact ordered spaces

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Scattered Compact Ordered Spaces (SCOS) are studied with respect to their well ordered images and preimages. Typical results: (i) A SCOS is homeomorphic to an ordinal iff it has no pit point (a pit in an ordered space is one with infinite left and right cofinalities, one of which is uncountable). (ii) A SCOS of characteristic <μ,m> is mappable onto and includes ωμ·m+1; it is also an image of ωμ·(2m)+1. The SCOSs are characterized by: Theorem 5: Let K be a Hausdorff space. The following conditions are equivalent: (a) K is homeomorphic to a compact scattered ordered space. (b) K is an order-two image of a compact ordinal. A.M.S. (MOS) Subject Classification: Primary: 54F05, 54F65, 06A45 Secondary: 54D30.
