We show a number of undecidable assertions concerning countably compact spaces hold under PFA(S)[S]. We also show the consistency without large cardinals of "every locally compact, perfectly normal space is paracompact".

We show that every free continuous action of a countably infinite elementary amenable group on a finite-dimensional compact metrizable space is almost finite. As a consequence, the crossed products of minimal such actions are…

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, $\mathfrak b=\mathfrak s=\mathfrak c$…

For metrizable spaces we replace the notion of almost periodic homeomorphism with a similar notion and verify that the usual characterizations of almost periodic homeomorphisms of compact metric spaces are valid for all metrizable spaces.

Given a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary, we prove that the space of embedded, which may be improper, free boundary minimal hypersurfaces with uniform area and Morse index upper bound is compact in the sense of smoothly graphical…

This note provides a correct proof of the result claimed by the second author that locally compact normal spaces are collectionwise Hausdorff in certain models obtained by forcing with a coherent Souslin tree. A novel feature of the proof…

Urysohn constructed a separable complete universal metric space homogeneous for all finite subspaces, which is today called the Urysohn universal metric space. Some authors have recently investigated an ultrametric analogue of this space.…

In this paper we examine two basic topological properties of partial metric spaces, namely compactness and completeness. Our main result claims that in these spaces compactness is equivalent to sequential compactness. We also show that…

We obtain several results and examples concerning the general question ``When must a space with a small diagonal have a G_delta-diagonal?". In particular, we show (1) every compact metrizably fibered space with a small diagonal is…

We define the compact universal cover of a compact, metrizable connected space (i.e. a continuum) X to be the inverse limit of all continua that regularly cover X. We show that such covers do indeed form an inverse system with bonding maps…

All spaces are assumed to be Tychonoff. Given a realcompact space $X$, we denote by $\mathsf{Exp}(X)$ the smallest infinite cardinal $\kappa$ such that $X$ is homeomorphic to a closed subspace of $\mathbb{R}^\kappa$. Our main result shows…

A compact topological space X is spectral if it is sober (i.e., every irreducible closed set is the closure of a unique singleton) and the compact open subsets of X form a basis of the topology of X, closed under finite intersections.…

An $\omega_1$-compact space is a space in which every closed discrete subspace is countable. We give various general conditions under which a locally compact, $\omega_1$-compact space is $\sigma$-countably compact, i.e., the union of…

We prove that every Lindel\"of scattered subspace of a $\Sigma$-product of first-countable spaces is $\sigma$-compact. In particular, we obtain the result stated in the title. This answers some questions of Tkachuk from [Houston J. Math. 48…

We show (in ZFC) that the cardinality of a compact homogeneous space of countable tightness is no more than the size of the continuum.

Every topological group $G$ has some natural compactifications which can be a useful tool of studying $G$. We discuss the following constructions: (1) the greatest ambit $S(G)$ is the compactification corresponding to the algebra of all…

Given a compact space in a fixed universe of set theory, one can naturally define its interpretation in any ZFC extension of the universe. We investigate the stability of some classes of compact spaces with respect to extensions of this…

The countable uniform power (or uniform box product) of a uniform space $X$ is a special topology on ${}^{\omega}X$ that lies between the Tychonoff topology and the box topology. We solve an open problem posed by P. Nyikos showing that if…

A compact graph-like space is a triple $(X,V,E)$ where $X$ is a compact, metrizable space, $V \subseteq X$ is a closed zero-dimensional subset, and $E$ is an index set such that $X \setminus V \cong E \times (0,1)$. New characterizations of…

In this paper we consider the problem of characterization of topological spaces that embed into countably compact Hausdorff spaces. We study the separation axioms of subspaces of countably compact Hausdorff spaces and construct an example…
