In this paper we examine the properties of EC-plastic metric spaces, spaces which have the property that any noncontractive bijection from the space onto itself must be an isometry. 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
We consider the relationship between separately continuous functions and separately open sets, and we study the properties of the separately open topology on R2 and on Q2. We show that R2 with this topology (denoted R ⊗R) is completely and strongly Hausdorff and that Q⊗Q is normal but not a p-space. In addition, we show that each point of Q ⊗Q has an uncountable neighborhood base.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
