Kuratowski's 14-set theorem says that in a topological space, 14 is the maximum possible number of distinct sets which can be generated from a fixed set by taking closures and complements. In this article we consider the analogous questions…

A famous theorem of Kuratowski states that in a topological space, at most 14 distinct sets can be produced by repeatedly applying the operations of closure and complement to a given set. We re-examine this theorem in the setting of formal…

Generalizing the famous 14-set closure-complement Theorem of Kuratowski from 1922, we prove that for a set $X$ endowed with $n$ pairwise comparable topologies $\tau_1\subset\dots\subset\tau_n$, by repeated application of the operations of…

We pose the following new variant of the Kuratowski closure-complement problem: How many distinct sets may be obtained by starting with a set $A$ of a Polish space $X$, and applying only closure, complementation, and the $d$ operator, as…

Let $X$ be a space equipped with $n$ topologies $\tau_1,...,\tau_n$ which are pairwise comparable and saturated, and for each $1\leq i\leq n$ let $k_i$ and $f_i$ be the associated topological closure and frontier operators, respectively.…

We equip a topological space $(X,\tau)$ with a function $\mathfrak{a}: X \to \tau$ satisfying the single axiom $x \in \mathfrak{a}(x)$. The resulting triple $(X, \tau, \mathfrak{a})$, which we call an aura topological space, provides a…

We show that, for each finite algebra A, either it has symmetric term operations of all arities or else some finite algebra in the variety generated by A has two automorphisms without a common fixed point. We also show this two-automorphism…
