Original Abstract

Recall that a topology $\tau^d$ is said to be dual with respect to the topology $\tau$ on a set $X$ if $\tau^d$ has a closed base consisted of the compact saturated sets in $\tau$. In the well-known book{\it Open Problems in Topology}, edited by J. van Mill and G. M. Reed, there was stated (among many others, no less interesting problems) a problem no. 540 of J. D. Lawson and M. Mislove: {\it Does the process of iterating duals of a topology terminate by two topologies, dual to each other (1990, \cite{LM})?} In this paper we will present some recent results related to iterated dualizations of topological spaces (one of them yields the above mentioned identity $\tau^{dd}=\tau^{dddd}$ as an immediate consequence), ask what happens with the dualizations if we leave the realm of spatiality and mention some unsolved problems related to dual topologies.

Key words in English
