In this paper we consider a notion of universal sets for ideals. We show that there exist universal sets of minimal Borel complexity for classic ideals like null subsets of $2^\omega$ and meager subsets of any Polish space, and demonstrate…

We investigate infinite sets that witness the failure of certain Ramsey-theoretic statements, such as Ramsey's or (appropriately phrased) Hindman's theorem; such sets may exist if one does not assume the Axiom of Choice. We obtain very…

We provide Hurewicz tests for the separation of disjoint analytic sets by rectangles of the form $\Gamma\times\Gamma'$ for $\Gamma,\Gamma'\in {\mathbf\Sigma^0_1 , \mathbf\Pi^0_1 , \mathbf\Pi^0_2 }$.

A Ramsey-like theorem is a statement of the form ``For every 2-coloring of $[\mathbb{N}]^2$, there exists an infinite set~$H \subseteq \mathbb{N}$ such that $[H]^2$ avoids some pattern''. We prove that none of these statements are…

The \emph{index set} of a computable structure $\mathcal{A}$ is the set of indices for computable copies of $\mathcal{A}$. We determine the complexity of the index sets of various mathematically interesting structures, including arbitrary…

We study a strengthening of the notion of a universally meager set and its dual counterpart that strengthens the notion of a universally null set. We say that a subset $A$ of a perfect Polish space $X$ is countably perfectly meager…

A classical theorem of Lusin states that all analytic sets are Lebesgue-measurable. In this article we established the reverse mathematical strength of Lusin's theorem, which depends on how precisely it is formalized. By doing so, we answer…

Menger's conjecture that Menger spaces are /sigma-compact is false; it is true for analytic subspaces of Polish spaces and undecidable for more complex definable subspaces of Polish spaces. For non-metrizable spaces, analytic Menger spaces…

We show that: 1. Rothberger bounded subgroups of sigma-compact groups are characterized by Ramseyan partition relations. 2. For each uncountable cardinal $\kappa$ there is a ${\sf T}_0$ topological group of cardinality $\kappa$ such that…

We study the complexity of the classification problem for countable models of set theory (ZFC). We prove that the classification of arbitrary countable models of ZFC is Borel complete, meaning that it is as complex as it can conceivably be.…

Denote by $\mathcal{NA}$ and $\mathcal{MA}$ the ideals of null-additive and meager-additive subsets of~$2^\omega$, respectively. We prove in ZFC that $\mathrm{add}(\mathcal{NA})=\mathrm{non}(\mathcal{NA})$ and introduce a new (Polish)…

Let G be a graph with a perfect matching. A complete forcing set of G is a subset of edges of G to which the restriction of every perfect matching is a forcing set of it. The complete forcing number of G is the minimum cardinality of…

This paper exposes a contradiction in the Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory with the axiom of choice (ZFC). While Godel's incompleteness theorems state that a consistent system cannot prove its consistency, they do not eliminate proofs using a…

In the absence of the axiom of choice, the set-theoretic status of many natural statements about metrizable compact spaces is investigated. Some of the statements are provable in $\mathbf{ZF}$, some are shown to be independent of…

Hindman's Theorem says that every finite coloring of the positive natural numbers has a monochromatic set of finite sums. Ramsey algebras, recently introduced, are structures that satisfy an analogue of Hindman's Theorem. It is an open…
