Let (M,g) be a compact Riemannian three-dimensional manifold with boundary. We prove the compactness of the set of scalar-flat metrics which are in the conformal class of g and have the boundary as a constant mean curvature hypersurface.…

We provide a pointwise bipolar theorem for liminf-closed convex sets of positive Borel measurable functions on a sigma-compact metric space without the assumption that the polar is a tight set of measures. As applications we derive a…

We prove that many completeness properties coincide in metric spaces, precompact groups and dense subgroups of products of separable metric groups. We apply these results to function spaces C_p(X,G) of G-valued continuous functions on a…

This thesis belongs to the area of General Topology and, in particular, to the field of study of uniform spaces. It is divided in three parts where the related topics Bourbaki-completeness and Samuel realcompactification are studied. In the…

We prove that the perfect set dichotomy theorem holds in the Solovay model $V ((\omega^\omega)^{V[G]})$. Namely, for every equivalence relation $E$ on $\mathbb{R}$, either $\mathbb{R}/E$ is well-orderable or there exists a perfect set…

In this paper, we revisit the problem of classifying real algebraic and semialgebraic sets by their topological types, focusing on establishing the effectiveness of bounds rather than deriving new quantitative estimates. Building on Hardt's…

We prove a fixed point theorem for the action of certain local monodromy groups on \'etale covers and use it to deduce lower bounds in essential dimension. In particular, we give more geometric proofs of many (but not all) of the results of…

In this brief note, we provide an example of non complete locally convex space $E$ with a $\sigma(E, E^*)$ closed bounded subset $C\subset E$, which is not $\sigma(E, E^*)$-compact, even if every $\varphi\in E^*$ attains its sup over $C$.

We prove under $V=L$ that the inclusion modulo the non-stationary ideal is a $\Sigma_1^1$-complete quasi-order in the generalized Borel-reducibility hierarchy ($\kappa>\omega$). This improvement to known results in $L$ has many new…

This note generalizes Berge's maximum theorem to noncompact image sets. It is also clarifies the results from E.A. Feinberg, P.O. Kasyanov, N.V. Zadoianchuk, "Berge's theorem for noncompact image sets," J. Math. Anal. Appl. 397(1)(2013),…

We introduce the $\Sigma_1$-definable universal finite sequence and prove that it exhibits the universal extension property amongst the countable models of set theory under end-extension. That is, (i) the sequence is $\Sigma_1$-definable…

Generalizations of the theorems of Eberlein and Grothendieck on the precompactness of subsets of function spaces are considered: if $X$ is a countably compact space and $C_p(X)$ is a space of continuous functions in the pointwise topology…

We study $\Sigma_1(\omega_1)$-definable sets (i.e. sets that are equal to the collection of all sets satisfying a certain $\Sigma_1$-formula with parameter $\omega_1$) in the presence of large cardinals. Our results show that the existence…

For a uniform space (X, $\mu$), we introduce a realcompactification of X by means of the family $U_{\mu}(X)$ of all the real-valued uniformly continuous functions, in the same way that the known Samuel compactification is given by…

$\Sigma^1_3$-absoluteness for ccc forcing means that for any ccc forcing $P$, ${H_{\omega_1}}^V \prec_{\Sigma_2}{H_{\omega_1}}^{V^P}$. "$\omega_1$ inaccessible to reals" means that for any real $r$, ${\omega_1}^{L[r]}<\omega_1$. To measure…

In this work we prove the undecidability (and $\Sigma^0_1$-completeness) of several theories of semirings with fixed points. The generality of our results stems from recursion theoretic methods, namely the technique of effective…

Let S1(Gamma,Gamma) be the statement: For each sequence of point-cofinite open covers, one can pick one element from each cover and obtain a point-cofinite cover. b is the minimal cardinality of a set of reals not satisfying…

Kechris and Louveau showed that each real-valued bounded Baire class 1 function defined on a compact metric space can be written as an alternating sum of a decreasing countable transfinite sequence of upper semi-continuous functions.…

Finite unions of convex sets are a central object of study in discrete and computational geometry. In this paper we initiate a systematic study of complements of such unions -- i.e., sets of the form $S=\mathbb{R}^d \setminus (\cup_{i=1}^n…

A set of integers $A$ is computably encodable if every infinite set of integers has an infinite subset computing $A$. By a result of Solovay, the computably encodable sets are exactly the hyperarithmetic ones. In this paper, we extend this…
