We show that the continuum hypothesis implies there exists a Lindelof space X such that X x X is the union of two metrizable subspaces but X is not metrizable. This gives a consistent solution to a problem of Balogh, Gruenhage, and Tkachuk.…
In this article we proved so-called strong reflection principles corresponding to formal theories Th which has omega-models. An posible generalization of the Lob's theorem is considered.Main results is: (1) let $k$ be an inaccessible…
The celebrated union-closed conjecture is concerned with the cardinalities of various subsets of the Boolean $d$-cube. The cardinality of such a set is equivalent, up to a constant, to its measure under the uniform distribution, so we can…
A topological space $X$ is called almost discretely Lindel\"of if every discrete set $D \subset X$ is included in a Lindel\"of subspace of $X$. We say that the space $X$ is {\em $\mu$-sequential} if for every non-closed set $A \subset X$…
A space $X$ is said to be "cellular-Lindel\"of" if for every cellular family $\mathcal{U}$ there is a Lindel\"of subspace $L$ of $X$ which meets every element of $\mathcal{U}$. Cellular-Lindel\"of spaces generalize both Lindel\"of spaces…
Combining stationary reflection (a compactness property) with the failure of SCH (an instance of non-compactness) has been a long-standing theme. We obtain this at $\aleph_{\omega_1}$, answering a question of Ben-Neria, Hayut, and Unger: We…
The aim of this paper is to consider questions concerning the possible maximum cardinality of various separable pseudoradial (in short: SP) spaces. The most intriguing question here is if there is, in ZFC, a regular (or just Hausdorff) SP…
We prove the consistency (modulo supercompact) of a negative answer to Arhangelskii's problem (some Hausdorff compact space cannot be partitioned to two sets not containing a closed copy of Cantor discontinuum). In this model we have CH.…
A stationary subset S of a regular uncountable cardinal kappa reflects fully at regular cardinals if for every stationary set T subseteq kappa of higher order consisting of regular cardinals there exists an alpha in T such that S cap alpha…
In this paper we prove that from large cardinals it is consistent that there is a singular strong limit cardinal $\nu$ such that the singular cardinal hypothesis fails at $\nu$ and every collection of fewer than $\mathrm{cf}(\nu)$…
We give a general closing-off argument in Theorem 2.1 from which several corollaries follow, including (1) if $X$ is a locally compact Hausdorff space then $|X|\leq 2^{wL(X)\psi(X)}$, and (2) if $X$ is a locally compact power homogeneous…
Ancel, Dobrowolski, and Grabowski (Studia Math., 1994) proved that every countable discrete subgroup of the additive group of a normed space is free Abelian, hence isomorphic to the direct sum of a certain number of copies of the additive…
We discuss two general aspects of the theory of cardinal characteristics of the continuum, especially of proofs of inequalities between such characteristics. The first aspect is to express the essential content of these proofs in a way that…
It is proved that the Continuum Hypothesis implies that any sequence of rapid P-points of length $<{\mathfrak c}^{+}$ which is increasing with respect to the Rudin-Keisler ordering is bounded above by a rapid P-point. This is an improvement…
We show that a Tychonoff discretely star-Lindelof space can have arbitrarily big extent and note that there are consistent examples of normal discretely star-Lindelof spaces with uncountable extent.
It is shown that for a finite set $A$ of four or more complex numbers, the cardinality of the set $C[A]$ of all cross-ratios generated by quadruples of pair-wise distinct elements of $A$ is $|C[A]|\gg…
We improve previous work on the consistency strength of mutually stationary sequences of sets concentrating on points with divergent cofinality building on previous work by Adolf, Cox and Welch. Specifically, we have greatly reduced our…
We continue our investigation of cardinal sequences associated with locally Lindelof, scattered, Hausdorff P-spaces (abbreviated as LLSP spaces). We outline a method for constructing LLSP spaces from cone systems and partial orders with…
If B is a compact space and B\{pt} is Lindelof then B^k\{pt} is star-Linedlof for every cardinality k. If B\{pt} is compact then B^k\{pt} is discretely star-Lindelof. In particular, this gives new examples of Tychonoff discretely…
Let G be any additive abelian group with cyclic torsion subgroup, and let A, B and C be finite subsets of G with cardinality n>0. We show that there is a numbering {a_i}_{i=1}^n of the elements of A, a numbering {b_i}_{i=1}^n of the…
