REGULAR OPEN ARITHMETIC PROGRESSIONS IN CONNECTED TOPOLOGICAL SPACES ON THE SET OF POSITIVE INTEGERS

Paulina Szczuka

Abstract.   In this paper we characterize regular open arithmetic progressions in four connected topological spaces on the set of positive integers with bases consisting of some arithmetic progressions and we examine which of these spaces are semiregular.
