Spaces of remote points

Abstract: Given a Tychonoff space

X

, let

v a r r h o (X)

be the set of remote points of

X

. We view

v a r r h o (X)

as a topological space. In this paper we assume that

X

is metrizable and ask for conditions on

Y

so that

v a r r h o (X)

is homeomorphic to

v a r r h o (Y)

. This question has been studied before by R. G. Woods and C. Gates. We give some results of the following type: if

X

has topological property

m a t h b f P

and

v a r r h o (X)

is homeomorphic to

v a r r h o (Y)

, then

Y

also has

m a t h b f P

. We also characterize the remote points of the rationals and irrationals up to some restrictions. Further, we show that

v a r r h o (X)

and

v a r r h o (Y)

have open dense homeomorphic subspaces if

X

and

Y

are both nowhere locally compact, completely metrizable and share the same cellular type, a cardinal invariant we define.
