In this paper, we provide a partial answer to a problem posed by A. V.Arhangel'skii; we show that if X is a compactum cleavable over a separable linearly ordered topological space (LOTS) Y such that for some continuous function f from X to…

We show that a linearly ordered topological space is initially \lambda-compact if and only if it is \lambda-bounded, that is, every set of cardinality $\leq \lambda$ has compact closure. As a consequence, every product of initially…

We show that $X^\lambda$ is strongly homogeneous whenever $X$ is a non-separable zero-dimensional metrizable space and $\lambda$ is an infinite cardinal. This partially answers a question of Terada, and improves a previous result of the…

While there is a well-established notion of what a computable ordinal is, the question which functions on the countable ordinals ought to be computable has received less attention so far. We propose a notion of computability on the space of…

A clone on a set X is a set of finitary functions on X which contains the projections and which is closed under composition. The set of all clones on X forms a complete algebraic lattice Cl(X). We obtain several results on the structure of…

We describe the order type of range sets of compact ultrametrics and show that an ultrametrizable infinite topological space $(X, \tau)$ is compact iff the range sets are order isomorphic for any two ultrametrics compatible with the…

For a non-compact metrizable space $X$, let ${\mathcal E}(X)$ be the set of all one-point metrizable extensions of $X$, and when $X$ is locally compact, let ${\mathcal E}_K(X)$ denote the set of all locally compact elements of ${\mathcal…

We use forcing over admissible sets to show that, for every ordinal $\alpha$ in a club $C\subset\omega_1$, there are copies of $\alpha$ such that the isomorphism between them is not computable in the join of the complete $\Pi^1_1$ set…

Given a nonempty set $\mathcal{L}$ of linear orders, we say that the linear order $L$ is $\mathcal{L}$-convex embeddable into the linear order $L'$ if it is possible to partition $L$ into convex sets indexed by some element of $\mathcal{L}$…

Let omega be the first infinite ordinal (or the set of all natural numbers) with the usual order <. In section 1 we show that, assuming the consistency of a supercompact cardinal, there may exist an ultrapower of omega, whose cardinality is…

We identify a class of linearly ordered topological spaces $X$ that may satisfy the property that $X\times X$ is homeomorphic to $X\times_l X$ or can be embedded into a linearly ordered space with the stated property. We justify the…

We prove that if $X$ is a topological space that admits Debreu's classical utility theorem (eg.\ $X$ is separable and connected, second countable, etc.), then order relations on $X$ satisfying milder completeness conditions can be…

Answering some of the main questions from [MR13], we show that whenever $\kappa$ is a cardinal satisfying $\kappa^{< \kappa} = \kappa > \omega$, then the embeddability relation between $\kappa$-sized structures is strongly invariantly…

We show how to use topological ideas, such as compactness, to establish orderability properties of infinite groups. A new application is to provide a left-ordering for the group of PL homeomorphisms of a connected surface with boundary…

We introduce a new covering property, defined in terms of order types of sequences of open sets, rather than in terms of cardinalities of families. The most general form of this compactness notion depends on two ordinal parameters. In the…

We point out a gap in Shelah's proof of the following result: $\mathbf{Claim}$ Let $K$ be an abstract elementary class categorical in unboundedly many cardinals. Then there exists a cardinal $\lambda$ such that whenever $M, N \in K$ have…

We classify the countable linear orders $X$ for which there is an order $A$ with at least two points such that the lexicographic product $AX$ is isomorphic to $X$. Given such an $X$, we determine every corresponding order $A$, and identify…

For a separable locally compact but not compact metrizable space $X$, let $\alpha X = X \cup \{x_\infty\}$ be the one-point compactification with the point at infinity $x_\infty$. We denote by $EM(X)$ the space consisting of admissible…

We prove that the free locally convex space $L(X)$ over a metrizable space $X$ has countable tightness if and only if $X$ is separable.

We address the question of when a covering of the boundary of a surface can be extended to a covering of the surface (equivalently: when is there a branched cover with a prescribed monodromy). If such an extension is possible, when can the…
