We investigate a stronger formulation of Webb's conjecture on the contractibilty of the orbit space of the p-subgroup complexes in terms of finite topological spaces. The original conjecture, which was first proved by Symonds and, more…

We prove a compact embedding theorem in a class of spaces of piecewise H1 functions subordinated to a class of shape regular, but not necessarily quasi-uniform triangulations of a polygonal domain. This result generalizes the…

The analysis of certain singularities in scalar-tensor gravity contained in a recent paper is completed, and situations are pointed out in which these singularities cannot occur.

Let $\Omega\subset \mathbb{C}^n$ for $n\geq 2$ be a bounded pseudoconvex domain with a $C^2$-smooth boundary. We study the compactness of composition operators on the Bergman spaces of smoothly bounded convex domains. We give a partial…

A ccc-generically supercompact cardinal $\kappa$ can be smaller than or equal to the continuum. On the other hand, such a cardinal $\kappa$ still satisfies diverse largeness properties, like that it is a stationary limit of ccc-generically…

I expound here in a more detailed way a proof of an important Serini's theorem, which I have already sketched in a previous Note. Two related questions are briefly discussed.

The purpose of this paper is to provide a proof of James' weak compactness theorem that is able to be taught in a first year graduate class in functional analysis.

We give a new proof of the Weyl-von Neumann-Berg theorem. Our proof improves Halmos' proof in 1972 by observing the fact that every compact set in the complex plane is the continuous image of a compact set in the real line.

We deal with (< kappa)-supported iterated forcing notions which are (E_0,E_1)-complete, have in mind problems on Whitehead groups, uniformizations and the general problem. We deal mainly with the successor of a singular case. This continues…

In this paper, we present a constructive proof of Herschfeld's Convergence Theorem. Our formulation differs from Herschfeld's in a few ways: We consider radicals that nest transfinitely many times, as these are essential to the proof;…

We discuss some notions of compactness and convergence relative to a specified family F of subsets of some topological space X. The two most interesting particular cases of our construction appear to be the following ones. (1) The case in…

The aim of this note is to give a quick algebraic proof of (the combinatorial part of) the classification theorem for compact real surfaces, whose classical proofs (as in the Massey book and in the Conway ZIP proof) are based on surgery…

We revisit the proof of solidity of KM (Kelley-Morse theory of classes), as presented in the 2016 paper "Variations on a Visserian theme", so as to indicate the role of the scheme of class collection in the proof.

The $\kappa$-density of a cardinal $\mu\ge\kappa$ is the least cardinality of a dense collection of $\kappa$-subsets of $\mu$ and is denoted by $\mathcal D(\mu,\kappa)$. The Singular Density Hypothesis (SDH) for a singular cardinal $\mu$ of…

This paper concerns the characterisation of second order marginals for random sets in a discrete setting. Under the instance of unit covariances, this problem possesses a combinatorial symmetry, exploited jointly in the companion paper to…

We study the consistency and consistency strength of various configurations concerning the cardinal characteristics $\mathfrak{s}_\theta,\mathfrak{p}_\theta,\mathfrak{g}_\theta,\mathfrak{r}_\theta,\mathfrak{t}_\theta$ at uncountable regular…

We show that if the existence of a supercompact cardinal $\kappa$ with a weakly compact cardinal $\lambda$ above $\kappa$ is consistent, then the following are consistent as well (where $\mathfrak{t}(\kappa)$ and $\mathfrak{u}(\kappa)$ are…

We establish the consistency of the failure of the diamond principle on a cardinal $\kappa$ which satisfies a strong simultaneous reflection property. The result is based on an analysis of Radin forcing, and further leads to a…

We present some extensions of classical results that involve elements of the dual of Banach spaces, such as Bishop-Phelp's theorem and James' compactness theorem, but restricting to sets of functionals determined by geometrical properties.…

We prove a compactness theorem for pseudopower operations of the form $pp_{\Gamma(\mu,\sigma)}(\mu)$ where $\aleph_0<\sigma=cf(\sigma)\leq cf(\mu)$. Our main tool is a result that has Shelah's cov vs. pp Theorem as a consequence. We also…
