We give a combinatorial characterization of countable submaximal subspaces of $2^\kappa$. Using a parametrized version of Mathias forcing, we prove that there exists a countable submaximal subspace of $2^{\omega_1}$ whilst…

We view ultrametric spaces as two-sorted structures consisting of a set of points and of a linearly ordered set of distances. We call the appropriate notion of embeddings distance-carrying (dc for short). Those are obtained by combining…

We prove that, for an arbitrary topological space $X$, the following two conditions are equivalent: (a) Every open cover of $X$ has a finite subset with dense union (b) $X$ is $D$-pseudocompact, for every ultrafilter $D$. Locally, our…

A Hausdorff topological space $X$ is called $\textit{superconnected}$ (resp. $\textit{coregular}$) if for any nonempty open sets $U_1,\dots U_n\subseteq X$, the intersection of their closures $\bar U_1\cap\dots\cap\bar U_n$ is not empty…

We prove that on the Baire space $(D^{\kappa},\pi)$, $\kappa \geq \omega_0$ where $D$ is a uniformly discrete space having $\omega _1$-strongly compact cardinal and $\pi$ denotes the product uniformity on $D^\kappa$, there exists a…

Let $L$ be an infinite locally compact Hausdorff topological space. We show that extremely regular subspaces of $C_0(L)$ have very strong diameter $2$ properties and, for every real number $\varepsilon$ with $0<\varepsilon<1$, contain an…

We prove two $\mathrm{ZFC}$ inequalities between cardinal invariants. The first inequality involves cardinal invariants associated with an analytic P-ideal, in particular the ideal of subsets of $\omega$ of asymptotic density $0$. We obtain…

The Hausdorff-Alexandroff Theorem states that any compact metric space is the continuous image of Cantor's ternary set $C$. It is well known that there are compact Hausdorff spaces of cardinality equal to that of $C$ that are not continuous…

In this paper, some features of countably $\alpha$-compact topological spaces are presented and proven. The connection between countably $\alpha$% -compact, Tychonoff, and $\alpha$-Hausdorff spaces is explained. The space is countably…

We show that it is consistent relative to a huge cardinal that for all infinite cardinals $\kappa$, $\square_\kappa$ holds and there is a stationary $S \subseteq \kappa^+$ such that $\mathrm{NS}_{\kappa^+} \restriction S$ is…

In the context of classical associations between classes of Banach spaces and classes of compact Hausdorff spaces we survey known results and open questions concerning the existence and nonexistence of universal Banach spaces and of…

Using weaker versions of the cardinal function $\psi_c(X)$, we derive a series of new bounds for the cardinality of Hausdorff spaces and regular spaces that do not involve $\psi_c(X)$ nor its variants at all. For example, we show if $X$ is…

For a topological space $X$, let $X_\delta$ be the space $X$ with $G_\delta$-topology of $X$. For an uncountable cardinal $\kappa$, we prove that the following are equivalent: (1) $\kappa$ is $\omega_1$-strongly compact. (2) For every…

Let $X$ be a compact metric space and let $|A|$ denote the cardinality of a set $A$. We prove that if $f\colon X\to X$ is a homeomorphism and $|X|=\infty$ then for all $\delta>0$ there is $A\subset X$ such that $|A|=4$ and for all $k\in Z$…

The "weakly Hausdorff" property for pseudoradial spaces fails to be naturally characterized by unique convergence of transfinite sequences. In response, we develop the category $\mathbf{SPsRad}$ of strongly pseudoradial spaces, compactly…

Let us denote by $\Phi(\lambda,\mu)$ the statement that $\mathbb{B}(\lambda) = D(\lambda)^\omega$, i.e. the Baire space of weight $\lambda$, has a coloring with $\mu$ colors such that every homeomorphic copy of the Cantor set $\mathbb{C}$…

Usuba has asked whether the $\kappa$-mantle, the intersection of all grounds that extend to $V$ via a forcing of size ${<}\kappa$, is always a model of ZFC. We give a negative answers by constructing counterexamples where $\kappa$ is a…

For $\mu, \kappa$ infinite, say $\mathcal{A}\subseteq [\kappa]^\kappa$ is a $(\mu,\kappa)$-maximal independent family if whenever $\mathcal{A}_0$ and $\mathcal{A}_1$ are pairwise disjoint non-empty in $[\mathcal{A}]^{<\mu}$ then…

A cardinal lambda is called omega-inaccessible if for all mu < lambda we have mu^omega<lambda. We show that for every omega-inaccessible cardinal lambda there is a CCC (hence cardinality and cofinality preserving) forcing that adds a…

We define a topological space to be an "SDL space" if the closure of each one of its strongly discrete subsets is Lindel\"of. After distinguishing this property from the Lindel\"of property we make various remarks about cardinal invariants…
