We provide a complete classification of the possible cofinal structures of the families of precompact (totally bounded) sets in general metric spaces, and compact sets in general complete metric spaces. Using this classification, we…
All ultrafilters under consideration here are non-principal ultrafilters on the set omega of natural numbers. We are concerned with the possible cofinalities of ultrapowers of omega with respect to such ultrafilters. We show that no…
In this paper we analyze the connection between some properties of partially strongly compact cardinals: the completion of filters of certain size and instances of the compactness of $\mathcal{L}_{\kappa,\kappa}$. Using this equivalence we…
Assuming that there is a stationary set in $\omega_{2}$ of ordinals of countable cofinality that does not reflect, we prove that there exists a compact space which is not Corson compact and whose all continuous images of weight at most…
In this paper, we characterize the possible cofinalities of the least $\lambda$-strongly compact cardinal. We show that, on the one hand, for any regular cardinal, $\delta$, that carries a $\lambda$-complete uniform ultrafilter, it is…
In this paper we investigate more characterizations and applications of $\delta$-strongly compact cardinals. We show that, for a cardinal $\kappa$ the following are equivalent: (1) $\kappa$ is $\delta$-strongly compact, (2) For every…
A locally convex space (lcs) $E$ is said to have an $\omega^{\omega}$-base if $E$ has a neighborhood base $\{U_{\alpha}:\alpha\in\omega^\omega\}$ at zero such that $U_{\beta}\subseteq U_{\alpha}$ for all $\alpha\leq\beta$. The class of lcs…
We prove that under [CH], finite compactifications of $\omega^* \setminus \{x\}$ are homeomorphic to $\omega^*$. Moreover, in each case, the remainder consists almost exclusively of $P$-points, apart from possibly one point. Similar results…
We study the definability of ultrafilter bases on $\omega$ in the sense of descriptive set theory. As a main result we show that there is no coanalytic base for a Ramsey ultrafilter, while in $L$ we can construct $\Pi^1_1$ P-point and…
Square-kappa-finite, the finite family version of weak square, holds at all cardinals kappa in the Mitchell-Steel inner models.
The Noetherian type of a space is the least $\kappa$ such that it has a base that is $\kappa$-like with respect to containment. Just as all known homogeneous compacta have cellularity at most $2^\omega$, they satisfy similar upper bounds in…
The following paper is inspired by Efimov's problem - an undecided problem of whether there exists an infinite compact topological space that does not contain neither non-trivial convergent sequences nor a copy of $\beta\omega$. After…
We prove compactness with respect to $\Gamma$-convergence for a general class of non-local energies modelled after the ones considered in [Gobbino, CPAM (1998)]. We give an integral representation result for the limits, which are free…
We give necessary conditions for the existence of a compact manifold locally modelled on a given homogeneous space, which generalize some earlier results, in terms of relative Lie algebra cohomology. Applications include both reductive and…
Cummings, Foreman, and Magidor proved that Jensen's square principle is non-compact at $\aleph_\omega$, meaning that it is consistent that $\square_{\aleph_n}$ holds for all $n<\omega$ while $\square_{\aleph_\omega}$ fails. We investigate…
We continue the study of the pseudo-intersection property with respect to an ideal introduced in \cite{TomNatasha2}. Our theory applies to the study of the Tukey types of general sums of ultrafilters, which, as evidenced by the results of…
Cummings, Foreman, and Magidor investigated the extent to which square principles are compact at singular cardinals. The first author proved that if $\kappa$ is a singular strong limit of uncountable cofinality, all scales on $\kappa$ are…
In this paper, we present some fixed point results for generalized $\theta -\phi -$contraction in the framework of $\left( \alpha ,\eta \right)-$compete rectangular $b-$metric spaces. Further, we establish some fixed point theorems for this…
This paper investigates conditions under which canonical cofinal maps of the following three types exist: continuous, generated by finitary end-extension preserving maps, and generated by finitary maps. The main theorems prove that every…
The face ring of a simplicial complex modulo m generic linear forms is shown to have finite local cohomology if and only if the link of every face of dimension m or more is `nonsingular', i.e., has the homology of a wedge of spheres of the…
