Abstract:

The structure of nested spaces is studied in this paper using such tools as branches, chains, partial orders, and rays in the context of semitrees. A classification scheme for various kinds of acyclic spaces is delineated in terms of semitrees. Several families of order compatible topologies for semitrees are investigated, and these families are grouped in a spectrum (inclusion chain) of topologies compatible with the semitree structure. The chain, interval, and tree topologies are scrutinized in some detail. Several topological characterizations of semitrees with certain order compatible topologies are also derived.
