Description
The book presents surveys describing recent developments in most of the primary subfields of
General Topology and its applications to
Algebra and Analysis during the last decade. It follows freely
the previous edition (North Holland, 1992), Open Problems in Topology
(North Holland, 1990) and
Handbook of Set-Theoretic Topology (North Holland, 1984). The book was prepared in
connection with the Prague
Topological Symposium, held in 2001. During the last 10 years the focus
in General Topology changed and therefore the selection of topics
differs slightly from those
chosen in 1992. The following areas experienced significant developments: Topological Groups, Function Spaces,
Dimension Theory, Hyperspaces, Selections, Geometric Topology (including
Infinite-Dimensional Topology and the Geometry of Banach Spaces).
Of course, not every important topic
could be included in this book.
Except surveys, the book contains several historical essays
written by such eminent topologists as:
R.D. Anderson, W.W. Comfort, M. Henriksen, S. Mardeŝić, J. Nagata, M.E. Rudin,
J.M. Smirnov (several reminiscences of L. Vietoris are added). In addition to extensive author and subject indexes, a list of all problems
and questions posed in this book are added.
List of all authors of surveys:
A. Arhangel'skii, J. Baker and K. Kunen, H. Bennett
and D. Lutzer, J. Dijkstra and J. van Mill, A. Dow, E. Glasner, G. Godefroy, G. Gruenhage, N. Hindman and D. Strauss, L. Hola and J.
Pelant, K. Kawamura, H.-P. Kuenzi, W. Marciszewski, K. Martin and M. Mislove and M. Reed, R. Pol and H. Torunczyk, D. Repovs and P. Semenov,
D. Shakhmatov, S. Solecki, M. Tkachenko.
