The Hurewicz theorem is a fundamental result in classical dimension theory concerning continuous maps which lower topological dimension. We study whether or not its analogue holds for mean dimension of dynamical systems. Our first main…

We continue a study of the relations between two consequences of the Continuum Hypothesis discovered by Waclaw Sierpinski, concerning uniform continuity of continuous functions and uniform convergence of sequences of real-valued functions,…

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…

A characterization of $n$-dimensional spaces via continuous selections avoiding $Z_n$-sets is given, and a selection theorem for strongly countable-dimensional spaces is established. We apply these results to prove a generalized Ostrand's…

In this paper, we show that the existence of certain first-countable compact-like extensions is equivalent to the equality between corresponding cardinal characteristics of the continuum. For instance, $\mathfrak b=\mathfrak s=\mathfrak c$…

In this article we aim to develop from first principles a theory of sum sets and partial sum sets, which are defined analogously to difference sets and partial difference sets. We obtain non-existence results and characterisations. In…

L\"uroth series, like regular continued fractions, provide an interesting identification of real numbers with infinite sequences of integers. These sequences give deep arithmetic and measure-theoretic properties of subsets of numbers…

In this note, we characterize when the Vietoris space of compact subsets of a given space has the Hurewicz property in terms of a selection principle on the given space itself using $k$-covers and the notion of groupability introduced by…

Let $f : X \lo Y$ be a map of compact metric spaces. A classical theorem of Hurewicz asserts that $\dim X \leq \dim Y +\dim f$ where $\dim f =\sup \{\dim f^{-1}(y): y \in Y \}$. The first author conjectured that {\em $\dim Y + \dim f$ in…

We want to give a construction as simple as possible of a Borel subset of a product of two Polish spaces. This introduces the notion of potential Wadge class. Among other things, we study the non-potentially closed sets, by proving…

Dimensional types of metric scattered spaces are investigated. Revised proofs of Mazurkiewicz-Sierpi\'nski and Knaster-Urbanik theorems are presented. Embeddable properties of countable metric spaces are generalized onto uncountable metric…

We construct Menger subsets of the real line whose product is not Menger in the plane. In contrast to earlier constructions, our approach is purely combinatorial. The set theoretic hypothesis used in our construction is far milder than…

Some generalizations of the classical Hurewicz formula are obtained for extension dimension and C-spaces.

Let $d_1,...,d_r$ be positive integers and let $I = (F_1,...,F_r)$ be an ideal generated by general forms of degrees $d_1,...,d_r$, respectively, in a polynomial ring $R$ with $n$ variables. When all the degrees are the same we give a…

In this paper we shall introduce some nonmeasurable and completely nonmeasurable subsets of the plane with various additional properties, e.g. being Hamel basis, intersecting each line in a strong Luzin / Sierpi\'nski set. Also some…

If a pair of subsets of two-dimensional Euclidean space nearly achieves equality in the Brunn-Minkowski inequality, in the sense that the measure of the associated sumset is nearly equal to the lower bound provided by the inequality, then…

We show that every countable set of partial bijections from an infinite set to itself can be obtained as a composition of just two such partial bijections. This strengthens a result by Higgins, Howie, Mitchell and Ru\v{s}kuc stating that…

For first-order expansions of the field of real numbers, nondefinability of the set of natural numbers is equivalent to equality of topological and Assouad dimension on images of closed definable sets under definable continuous maps.

We prove a weak version of the $\varepsilon$-Dvoretzky conjecture for normed spaces, showing the existence of a subspace of $\mathbb{R}^n$ of dimension at least $c \log n / |\log \varepsilon|$ in which the given norm is $\varepsilon$-close…

We give, for each level of complexity L, a Hurewicz-like characterization of the Borel subsets with countable sections of a product of two Polish spaces that cannot become in L by changing the two Polish topologies.
