The Noetherian type of a space X, Nt(X), is the least cardinal kappa such that X has a base B such that every element of the base is contained in less than kappa many elements of the base. Denote X the space obtained from 2^{aleph_omega} by…

A base of a topological space is called {\em Noetherian } iff it does not contain an infinite strictly $\subseteq$-increasing chain. We show that minimal cardinality of a regular spaces without a Noetherian base is the first strongly…

We can generalize the definition of {\it splitting number } $s(\kappa )$ for $\kappa$ uncountable regular: $s(\kappa )=min\{ |\Cal S|:\Cal S\subset \Cal P(\kappa ) \forall a\in \kappa ^\kappa \exists b\in \Cal S |a\cap b|=|a\setminus…

We answer a question from Raghavan and Stepr{\=a}ns' paper on weakly tight families by showing that $\mathfrak{s} = {\mathfrak{s}}_{\omega, \omega}$. Then we use this to construct a completely separable maximal almost disjoint family under…

The Noetherian type of a space is the least $\kappa$ such that it has a base that is $\kappa$-like with respect to containment. Just as all known homogeneous compacta have cellularity at most $2^\omega$, they satisfy similar upper bounds in…

The present paper completes the computation of the separating Noether numbers for the groups with order strictly less than $32$. Most of the results are proved for the case of a general (possibly finite) base field containing an element…

A set $A$ is said to split a finite set $B$ if exactly half the elements of $B$ (up to rounding) are contained in $A$. We study the dual notions: (1) splitting family, which is a collection of sets such that any subset of $\{1,\ldots,k\}$…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $K$ a field containing an element of multiplicative order $|G|$. It is shown that if $G$ has a cyclic subgroup of index at most $2$, then the separating Noether number over $K$ of $G$ coincides with the Noether…

For a finite abelian group $G$, let $\beta_{\mathrm{sep}}(G)$ denote its separating Noether number. We determine $\beta_{\mathrm{sep}}(G)$ exactly for every finite abelian group $ G \cong C_{n_1}\oplus \cdots \oplus C_{n_r}$ with $ 1<n_1…

The work in this article is concerned with two different types of families of finite sets: separating families and splitting families (they are also called "systems"). These families have applications in combinatorial search, coding theory,…

The separating Noether number $\beta_{\mathrm{sep}}(G)$ of a finite group $G$ is the minimal positive integer $d$ such that for every finite $G$-module $V$ there is a separating set consisting of invariant polynomials of degree at most $d$.…

The cardinal invariant "Noetherian type" of a topological space $X$ (Nt(X)) was introduced by Peregudov in 1997 to deal with base properties that were studied by the Russian School as early as 1976. We study its behavior in products and…

Let $\mathfrak{i}$ denote the minimal cardinality of a maximal independent family and let $\mathfrak{a}_T$ denote the minimal cardinality of a maximal family of pairwise almost disjoint subtrees of $2^{<\omega}$. Using a countable support…

In this paper, we study nilpotent $\mathbb{Q}$$[x]$-powered groups that satisfy the following property: For some set of primes $\omega$ in $\mathbb{Q}$$[x]$, every $\omega '$-isolated $\mathbb{Q}$$[x]$-subgroup in some family of its…

Let chi be the minimum cardinal of a subset of 2^omega that cannot be made convergent by multiplication with a single Toeplitz matrix. By an application of creature forcing we show that s<chi is consistent. We thus answer a question by…

We study splitting chains in $\mathscr{P}(\omega)$, that is, families of subsets of $\omega$ which are linearly ordered by $\subseteq^*$ and which are splitting. We prove that their existence is independent of axioms of $\mathsf{ZFC}$. We…

The paper first covers several properties of the extension of the divisibility relation to a set ${}^*\hspace{-0.5mm}N$ of nonstandard integers. After that, a connection is established with the divisibility in the Stone-\v{C}ech…

We show in ZFC that the existence of completely separable maximal almost disjoint families of subsets of $\omega$ implies that the modal logic S4.1.2 is complete with respect to the \v{C}ech-Stone compactification of the natural numbers,…

The Noetherian type of a space is the least k for which the space has a k^op-like base, i.e., a base in which no element has k-many supersets. We prove some results about Noetherian types of (generalized) ordered spaces and products…

We study higher analogues of the classical independence number on $\omega$. For $\kappa$ regular uncountable, we denote by $i(\kappa)$ the minimal size of a maximal $\kappa$-independent family. We establish ZFC relations between $i(\kappa)$…
