 Kuratowski closure axioms - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In topology and related branches of mathematics, the Kuratowski closure axioms are a set of axioms which can be used to define a topological structure on a set.
They were first introduced by Kazimierz Kuratowski, in a slightly different form that applied only to Hausdorff spaces.
A similar set of axioms can be used to define a topological structure using only the dual notion of interior operator.

 Kuratowski's Closure Operation in Topology
The Polish mathematician Kazimierz (Casimir) Kuratowski (1896-1980) developed a radically different approach to specifying a topology for a set.
Kuratowski considered particular functions from the set of subsets of S to the set of subsets of S; i.e.,
Theorem K1: A Kuratowski closure operation on the power set of a set S generates a collection of subsets of S which satisfy the closed set conditions and thus establish a topology for the set S. (To be continued.)

 STANISŁAW ZAREMBA
     Kazimierz Paulin Żorawski (1866-1953) was a student of Sophus Lie and brought  fundamental ideas of his master, of course first of all those related to theory of continuous groups (called now Lie groups), implementing them creatively in Kraków.
Kazimierz Żorawski was the supervisor of the Ph.D. thesis of Franciszek Leja (1885-1979); among his pupils there were Władysław Ślebodziński (1884-1972) and Antoni Hoborski (1879-1940) who was simultaneously scientifically close to Zaremba, obtaining Ph.D. and habilitation under Zaremba’s supervision, and then turning to differential geometry, the field from Żorawski’s general area of interest.

 Colorful Mathematics: Part I   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
These graphs are known as the Kuratowski graphs because the Polish mathematician Kazimierz Kuratowski (1896-1980) showed that in a precise sense, every non-planar graph "contains" a copy of one of these two.
For studying planarity and coloring problems associated with graphs, it has been very helpful to be able to start with one graph and transform it into another graph with related properties.
The answer to this question, with regard to the plane, can be arrived at by purely combinatorial aspects of the graph's description.

The Warsaw School of Mathematics was an idea of Sierpinski, Janiszewski and Mazurkiewicz, when they met in the Warsaw University and decided to concentrate mathematical research on set theory and its various applications, which were new domains and it would be easier to catch up with world mathematics.
Later on, the younger Kuratowski joined the group and in 1932, by his initiative, the series Monografie Matematyczne was launched.

It is conceivable that such experimentation might disprove some outstanding conjectures by yielding a graph with a crossing number that is less than the expected value.
Graphs with a crossing number of zero are fully explained by Kuratowski’s theo-rem which was proved by Polish mathematician Kazimierz Kuratowski.
Such graphs are planar—the edges connecting the nodes do not cross one another at all.
