In this article we investigate which compact spaces remain compact under countably closed forcing. We prove that, assuming the Continuum Hypothesis, the natural generalizations to $\omega_1$-sequences of the selection principle and…

We provide a criterion for determining the winner in two-player win-lose alternating-move games on trees, in terms of the Hausdorff dimension of the target set. We focus our study on special cases, including the Gale-Stewart game on the…

M\"uller games form a well-established class of games for model checking and verification. These games are played on directed graphs $\mathcal G$ where Player 0 and Player 1 play by generating an infinite path through the graph. The winner…

This article deals with certain star variants of the Scheepers property. We introduce and study the star-$K$-Scheepers property and corresponding game. The relationships between the game corresponding to the star-$K$-Scheepers property and…

We present a comprehensive report on the relationships between variations of the Menger and Rothberger selection properties with respect to $\omega$-covers and $k$-covers in the most general topological setting and address the finite…

In a pursuit-evasion game, a team of pursuers attempt to capture an evader. The players alternate turns, move with equal speed, and have full information about the state of the game. We consider the most restictive capture condition: a…

XOR games are the simplest model in which the nonlocal properties of entanglement manifest themselves. When there are two players, it is well known that the bias --- the maximum advantage over random play --- of entangled players can be at…

For a Tychonoff space $X$, we denote by $(C(X), \tau_k, \tau_p)$ the bitopological space of all real-valued continuous functions on $X$ where $\tau_k$ is the compact-open topology and $\tau_p$ is the topology of pointwise convergence. In…

The main results of this note are: It is consistent that every subparacompact space $X$ of size $\omega_1$ is a $D$-space; If there exists a Michael space, then all productively Lindel\"of spaces have the Menger property, and, therefore,…

Arhangel'skii proved that if a first countable Hausdorff space is Lindel\"of, then its cardinality is at most $2^{\aleph_0}$. Such a clean upper bound for Lindel\"of spaces in the larger class of spaces whose points are ${\sf G}_{\delta}$…

Telg\'arsky's conjecture states that for each $k \in \mathbb N$, there is a topological space $X_k$ such that in the Banach-Mazur game on $X_k$, the player {\scriptsize NONEMPTY} has a winning $(k+1)$-tactic but no winning $k$-tactic. We…

We show the equivalence between the existence of winning strategies for $G_{\delta \sigma}$ (also called $\Sigma^{0}_{3}$) games in Cantor or Baire space, and the existence of functions generalized-recursive in a higher type-2 functional.…

In this note we study the open-point topological games in order to analyze the least upper bound for density of dense subsets of a topological space. This way we may also analyze the behavior of such cardinal invariants in taking products…

In this paper, we proved that a clopen version $S_1(C_O, C_O)$ of the Rothberger property and Borel strong measure zeroness are independent. For a zero-dimensional metric space $(X, d)$, $X$ satisfies $S_1(C_O, C_O)$ if, and only if, $X$…

The relationship between topology and dynamics of complex systems has motivated continuing interest from the scientific community. In the present work, we address this interesting topic from the perspective of simple games, involving two…
