Abstract:
Jocelyn Bell introduced the notion of proximal spaces using uniformities to address problems related to uniform box products. A proximal space is a topological space $X$ for which there exists a compatible uniformity such that Player I has a winning strategy in a specific two-player game of infinite length. I will give an exploratory introduction about the classes of spaces related to this game and share some recent joint work with Paul Szeptycki about the relationship of these spaces to normal topological spaces.
