We study two-player games of infinite duration that are played on finite or infinite game graphs. A winning strategy for such a game is positional if it only depends on the current position, and not on the history of the play. A game is…

Given a completely metrizable space $X$, let $\mathfrak{par}(X)$ denote the smallest possible size of a partition of $X$ into Polish spaces, and $\mathfrak{cov}(X)$ the smallest possible size of a covering of $X$ with Polish spaces. Observe…

Hindman's celebrated Finite Sums Theorem, and its high-dimensional version due to Milliken and Taylor, are extended from covers of countable sets to covers of arbitrary topological spaces with Menger's classic covering property. The methods…

Lifting properties for Banach spaces are studied. An alternate version of the lifting property due to Lindenstrass and Tzafriri is proposed and a characterization, up to isomorphism, is given. The quotient lifting property for pairs of…

We study a game first introduced by Martin (actually we use a slight variation of this game) which plays a role for measure analogous to the Banach-Mazur game for category. We first present proofs for the basic connections between this game…

We establish some geometrical properties of the space of idempotent probability measures. In particular, for a compact $X$ it is established that if the space $I_{3}(X)\backslash X$ is hereditary normally, then $X$ is metrizable; some…

The Banach-Mazur game, Schmidt's game and McMullen's absolute winning game are three quintessential intersection games. We investigate their determinacy on the real line when the target set for either player is a Bernstein set, a…

Suppose that $X$ is a Banach space. We will show that $X$ does not contain a copy of $c_0$ if and only if for each series which is not unconditionally convergent in $X$ respective sets coding all bounded subseries and rearrangements are…

The main result of this paper states that if a Banach space X has the property that every bounded operator from an arbitrary subspace of X into an arbitrary Banach space of cotype 2 extends to a bounded operator on X, then…

Often, a given selection game studied in the literature has a known dual game. In dual games, a winning strategy for a player in either game may be used to create a winning strategy for the opponent in the dual. For example, the Rothberger…

This work studies the following question: can plays in a Muller game be stopped after a finite number of moves and a winner be declared. A criterion to do this is sound if Player 0 wins an infinite-duration Muller game if and only if she…

All spaces are assumed to be separable and metrizable. Our main result is that the statement "For every space $X$, every closed subset of $X$ has the perfect set property if and only if every analytic subset of $X$ has the perfect set…

In this paper, we study spaceability of subsets of generalized Orlicz and Lebesgue spaces associated to Banach function space. Also, we give some sufficient conditions for spaceability of subsets of a general Banach space which improves an…

In this paper we define some combinatorial principles to characterize spaces $X$ whose hyperspace satisfies some variation of some classical star selection principle. Specifically, the variations characterized are the selective and absolute…

For a metrizable space, we consider the space of all metrics generating the same topology of the metrizable space, and this space of metrics is equipped with the supremum metric. In this paper, for every metrizable space, we establish that…

A Banach space $X$ has the $Mazur$-$Ulam$ $property$ if any isometry from the unit sphere of $X$ onto the unit sphere of any other Banach space $Y$ extends to a linear isometry of the Banach spaces $X,Y$. A Banach space $X$ is called…

Let X and Y be separable metrizable spaces, and f:X-->Y be a function. We want to recover f from its values on a small set via a simple algorithm. We show that this is possible if f is Baire class one, and in fact we get a characterization.…

Let $E$ be a separable Banach space and $\Omega$ be a compact Hausdorff space. It is shown that the space $C(\Omega,E)$ has property (V) if and only if $E$ does. Similar result is also given for Bochner spaces $L^p(\mu,E)$ if $1<p<\infty$…

We consider ``meager analogues'' of classical covering properties of Menger, Hurewicz and Rothberger. We show that Borel images of sets having ``our'' covering properties have these classical covering properties.

The product of a Sierpinski set and a Lusin set has Menger's property. The product of a gamma set and a Lusin set has Rothberger's property.
