Answering a question raised by V. V. Tkachuk, we present several examples of $\sigma$-compact spaces, some only consistent and some in ZFC, that are not countably tight but in which the closure of any discrete subset is countably tight. In…

We will give an overview of four families of cardinal characteristics defined on subspaces $\prod_{\alpha\in\kappa}b(\alpha)$ of the generalised Baire space ${}^\kappa\kappa$, where $\kappa$ is strongly inaccessible and…

It is consistent that the continuum be arbitrary large and no absolute $\kappa$-Borel set $X$ of density $\kappa$, $\aleph_1<\kappa<\mathfrak{c}$, condenses onto a compact metric space. It is consistent that the continuum be arbitrary large…

In this paper, we are interested in parallels to the classical notions of special subsets in $\R$ defined in the generalized Cantor and Baire spaces ($2^\kappa$ and $\kappa^\kappa$). We consider generalizations of the well-known classes of…

This is a paper that aims to interpret the cardinality of a set in terms of Baire Category, i.e. how many closed nowhere dense sets can be deleted from a set before the set itself becomes negligible. . To do this natural tree-theoretic…

It is well-known that every non-isolated point in a compact Hausdorff space is the accumulation point of a discrete subset. Answering a question raised by Z. Szentmiklossy and the first author, we show that this statement fails for…

The open graph dichotomy for a subset $X$ of the Baire space ${}^\omega\omega$ states that any open graph on $X$ either admits a coloring in countably many colors or contains a perfect complete subgraph. This strong version of the open…

A space $X$ is said to be $\kappa$-resolvable (resp. almost $\kappa$-resolvable) if it contains $\kappa$ dense sets that are pairwise disjoint (resp. almost disjoint over the ideal of nowhere dense subsets). $X$ is maximally resolvable iff…

We introduce a general method of constructing locally compact scattered spaces from certain families of sets and then, with the help of this method, we prove that if kappa^{<kappa}=kappa then there is such a space of height kappa^+ with…

By classical results of Hurewicz, Kechris and Saint-Raymond, an analytic subset of a Polish space $X$ is covered by a $K_\sigma$ subset of $X$ if and only if it does not contain a closed-in-$X$ subset homeomorphic to the Baire space…

Jech proved that every partially ordered set can be embedded into the cardinals of some model of $ZF$. We extend this result to show that every partially ordered set can be embedded into the cardinals of some model of $ZF+DC_{<\kappa}$ for…

In this paper we demonstrate that it is consistent, relative to the existence of a supercompact cardinal, that there is no linear order which is minimal with respect to being non $\sigma$-scattered. This shows that a theorem of Laver, which…

We prove that for every uncountable cardinal $\kappa$ such that $\kappa^{<\kappa}=\kappa$, the quasi-order of embeddability on the $\kappa$-space of $\kappa$-sized graphs Borel reduces to the embeddability on the $\kappa$-space of…

Answering some of the main questions from [MR13], we show that whenever $\kappa$ is a cardinal satisfying $\kappa^{< \kappa} = \kappa > \omega$, then the embeddability relation between $\kappa$-sized structures is strongly invariantly…

We show that the typical nonexpansive mapping on a small enough subset of a CAT($\kappa$)-space is a contraction in the sense of Rakotch. By typical we mean that the set of nonexpansive mapppings without this property is a $\sigma$-porous…

It is an interesting, maybe surprising, fact that different dense subspaces of even "nice" topological spaces can have different densities. So, our aim here is to investigate the set of densities of all dense subspaces of a topological…

Given any $\lambda\leq\kappa$, we construct a symmetric extension in which there is a set $X$ such that $\aleph(X)=\lambda$ and $\aleph^*(X)=\kappa$. Consequently, we show that $\mathsf{ZF}+$"For all pairs of infinite cardinals…

The following paper is inspired by Efimov's problem - an undecided problem of whether there exists an infinite compact topological space that does not contain neither non-trivial convergent sequences nor a copy of $\beta\omega$. After…

Given an uncountable regular cardinal $\kappa$, a partial order is $\kappa$-stationarily layered if the collection of regular suborders of $\mathbb{P}$ of cardinality less than $\kappa$ is stationary in $\mathcal{P}_\kappa(\mathbb{P})$. We…

Complete Boolean algebras proved to be an important tool in topology and set theory. Two of the most prominent examples are B(kappa), the algebra of Borel sets modulo measure zero ideal in the generalized Cantor space {0,1}^kappa equipped…
