Abstract. A universal space is one that continuously maps onto all others of its own kind and weight. We investigate when a universal Uniform Eberlein compact space exists for weight κ. If κ = 2 <κ , then they exist whereas otherwise, in many cases including κ = ω 1 , it is consistent that they do not exist. This answers (for many κ and consistently for all κ) a question of Benyamini, Rudin and Wage of 1977.

The Mathieu functions of integral order [1] are the solutions with period n or 2ir of the equation^ 0(1)The eigenvalues associated with the functions ce lV and se iV , where N is a positive integer, denoted by a N and b N respectively, reduce to when q is zero. The quantities a N and b N can be expanded in powers of q, but the explicit construction of high order coefficients is very tedious. In some applications the quantity of most interest is a N -b$, which may be called the " width of the unstable zone " . It is the object of this note to derive a general formula for the leading term in the expansion of this quantity, namely qSuppose first that N is an odd integer. Then there is an expansion The equation (7) is solved by the method, well-known in mathematical physics, of Brillouin [2] and Wigner [3]. Imposing the normalisation a$ = l (to all orders in q), one may rewrite (7) as at https://www.cambridge.org/core/terms. https://doi
