Restricting uniformly open surjections

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We employ the theory of elementary submodels to improve a recent result by Aron, Jaramillo and Le Donne (Ann. Acad. Sci. Fenn. Math., to appear) concerning restricting uniformly open, continuous surjections to smaller subspaces where they remain surjective. To wit, suppose that X and Y are metric spaces and let fcolonXoY be a continuous surjection. If X is complete and f is uniformly open, then X contains a~closed subspace Z with the same density as Y such that f restricted to Z is still uniformly open and surjective. Moreover, if X is a Banach space, then Z may be taken to be a closed linear subspace. A counterpart of this theorem for uniform spaces is also established.


The paper gives an example of reasoning by absoluteness; said differently: by the method of elementary submodels. It strengthens a result of [\textit{R. M. Aron} et al., Ann. Acad. Sci. Fenn., Math. 42, No. 2, 525--534 (2017; Zbl 1390.46023)], and says the following: 1. If \(X,Y\) are metric spaces with \(X\) complete, \(f:X\to Y\) is surjective, continuous and uniformly open, then \(X\) contains a closed subspace \(Z\) of the same density as \(Y\) such that \(f|_{Z}\) is surjective and \textit{uniformly open}. 2. If, moreover, \(X\) is a Banach space, then \(Z\) may be chosen a closed linear subspace. 3. If \(X,Y\) are uniform spaces with \(X\) super-complete, \(f:X\to Y\) is surjective, continuous and uniformly open, then \(X\) contains a closed subspace \(Z\) of the same density as \(Y\) such that \(f|_{Z}\) is surjective and \textit{uniformly open}.
