Let $(M,\rho)$ be a metric space and let $Y$ be a Banach space. Given a positive integer $m$, let $F$ be a set-valued mapping from $M$ into the family of all compact convex subsets of $Y$ of dimension at most $m$. In this paper we prove a…

The paper is concerned with the problem whether a nonseparable Banach space must contain an uncountable set of vectors such that the distances between every two distinct vectors of the set are the same. Such sets are called equilateral. We…

We show relative to strong hypotheses that patterns of compact cardinals in the universe, where a compact cardinal is one which is either strongly compact or supercompact, can be virtually arbitrary. Specifically, we prove if V is a model…

We introduce notions of compactness and weak compactness for multilinear maps from a product of normed spaces to a normed space, and prove some general results about these notions. We then consider linear maps $T:A\to B$ between Banach…

We prove that for any topological space $X$ of countable tightness, each \sigma-convex subspace $\F$ of the space $SC_p(X)$ of scatteredly continuous real-valued functions on $X$ has network weight $nw(\F)\le nw(X)$. This implies that for a…

For a compact group $\mathbb{G}$, the functor from unital Banach algebras with contractive morphisms to metric spaces with 1-Lipschitz maps sending a Banach algebra $A$ to the space of $\mathbb{G}$-representations in $A$ preserves filtered…

A topological space $X$ is called $\Cal A$-real compact, if every algebra homomorphism from $\Cal A$ to the reals is an evaluation at some point of $X$, where $\Cal A$ is an algebra of continuous functions. Our main interest lies on…

We construct in ZFC a countably compact group without non-trivial convergent sequences of size $2^{\mathfrak{c}}$, answering a question of Bellini, Rodrigues and Tomita. We also construct in ZFC a selectively pseudocompact group which is…

We prove that the additive group $(E^\ast,\tau_k(E))$ of an $\mathscr{L}_\infty$-Banach space $E$, with the topology $\tau_k(E)$ of uniform convergence on compact subsets of $E$, is topologically isomorphic to a subgroup of the unitary…

The main result of this paper is the proof of the simultaneous consistency, modulo a weakly compact cardinal, of the equality $2^{< \mathfrak{c}} = \mathfrak{c}$ with the following property (*) of partitions of pairs of $\mathfrak{c}$:…

We prove that any convex-like structure in the sense of Nate Brown is affinely and isometrically isomorphic to a closed convex subset of a Banach space. This answers an open question of Brown. As an intermediate step, we identify Brown's…

We continue to investigate cases when the Repov\v{s}-Semenov splitting problem for selections has an affirmative solution for continuous set-valued mappings. We consider the situation in infinite-dimensional uniformly convex Banach spaces.…

In this paper, without the axiom of choice, we show that if a certain downward L\"owenheim-Skolem property holds then all grounds are uniformly definable. We also prove that the axiom of choice is forceable if and only if the universe is a…

It is well known that every (real or complex) normed linear space $L$ is isometrically embeddable into $C(X)$ for some compact Hausdorff space $X$. Here $X$ is the closed unit ball of $L^*$ (the set of all continuous scalar-valued linear…

In [G. Curi, "Exact approximations to Stone-Cech compactification'', Ann. Pure Appl. Logic, 146, 2-3, 2007, pp. 103-123] a characterization is obtained of the locales of which the Stone-Cech compactification can be defined in constructive…

We characterize the finite dimensional asymmetric normed spaces which are right bounded and the relation of this property with the natural compactness properties of the unit ball, as compactness and strong compactness. In contrast with some…

Category-measure duality concerns applications of Baire-category methods that have measure-theoretic analogues. The set-theoretic axiom needed in connection with the Baire category theorem is the Axiom of Dependent Choice DC rather than the…

Let $X$ be a zero-dimensional space and $C_c(X)$ be the set of all continuous real valued functions on $X$ with countable image. In this article we denote by $C_c^K(X)$ (resp., $C_{c}^{\psi}(X)$) the set of all functions in $C_c(X)$ with…

We show that if $\kappa \leq \omega$ and there exists a group topology without non-trivial convergent sequences on an Abelian group $H$ such that $H^n$ is countably compact for each $n<\kappa$ then there exists a topological group $G$ such…

This paper extends the Kadison duality between compact convex sets and function systems to the setting of partial convexity. A partially convex set is a set that is convex in a designated set of convex variables when the others are held…
