    Let X be a Tikhonov space, H(X) the group of all self-homeomorphisms of X with the usual composition and e:H(X)×X -> X, (f, x) \in f(x), the evaluation map. A group topology on H(X) which makes it a topological group is called admissible if the evaluation map is continuous. Let LH(X) be the upper semi-lattice of all admissible group topologies on H(X) ordered by the usual inclusion. The author considers the question of when LH(X) has a least element for a non-compact space X. The existence of a least element in LH(X) has been proved for T2 locally compact spaces, T2 rim-compact and locally connected spaces, and so on. Here a spaceX is called rim-compact if every point in X has arbitrarily small neighborhoods with compact boundary. In this paper the author shows that X being rim-compact is not a necessary condition in order for LH(X) to have a least element. It is known that for the set R of real numbers and the set Q of rational numbers, each with the Euclidean topology, the product R×Q is not rim-compact.Indeed, the author proves that LH(R×Q) has a least element

    Point-Free Geometries: Proximities and Quasi-Metrics

    No full text
    In the Euclidean geometry points are the primitive entities. Point-based spatial construction is dominant but apparently, in a constructive point of view and a na\"{\i}ve knowledge of space, the region-based spatial theory is more quoted, as recent and past literature strongly suggest. The point-free geometry refers directly to sets, the {\it spatial regions}, and {\it relations between regions} rather than referring to points and sets of points. One of the approach to point-free geometry proposes as primitives the concept of region and quasi-metric, a non-symmetric distance between regions, yielding a natural notion of diameter of a region that, under suitable conditions, allows to reconstruct the canonical model. The intended canonical model is the hyperspace of the non-empty regularly closed subsets of a metric space equipped with the Hausdorff excess. The canonical model can be enriched by adding more qualitative structure involving a distinguished countable subfamily of regions, {\it bounded regions}, and a group of {\it similitudes} preserving bounded regions, so eventually producing a metric geometry whose points, roughly speaking decreasing sequences of bounded regions with vanishing diameters, have some specific features preserved by similitudes and different metric geometries for distinct bounded regions

    Sommario: Si definiscono e si studiano le quasimetriche per un insieme S non vuoto come applicazioni dell' insieme SxS nell'insieme R dei numeri reali soddisfacenti l'assioma della coincidenza e l' assioma triangolare. Si generalizzano , inoltre, risultati di W.A. Wilson [6] e G.E. Albert [1] che si sono interessati delle quasimetriche non negative
