Countable tightness may be destroyed by countably closed forcing. We characterize the indestructibility of countable tightness under countably closed forcing by combinatorial statements similar to the ones Tall used to characterize…

There is a gap in Theorem 2.2 of the paper of Du (\cite{D_2010}). In this paper, we shall state the gap and repair it.

We correct the proof of Theorem 4.1 from [C. R. Math. Acad. Sci. Soc. R. Can. \textbf{44} (2022), no. 4, 88--112].

It was pointed out to us that the proof of a crucial lemma (Lemma 5.3) in the paper is incorrect. Thus the approximation theorem (Theorem 0.1) for L^2 torsion of an amenable covering of a finite simplicial complex remains unproved. However,…

Using approximation by continuous functions we prove the following statements to types of tightness in a space $Q_p(X, \mathbb{R})$ of all quasicontinuous real-valued functions with the topology $\tau_p$ of pointwise convergence: the…

We give a new proof of a lemma by L. Shepp, that was used in connection to random coverings of a circle.

This note fills a gap in the article with title above [1]. We provide the proof of Equation (82) of Lemma 5 in [1] and thereby complete its power counting analysis with a more precise next-to-leading-order estimate.

Extending the idea in [Impagliazzo, R., Moore, C. and Russell, A., An entropic proof of Chang's inequality. SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics, 28(1), pp.173-176.] we give a short information theoretic proof for Chang's lemma that is…

Here we give a reformulation of a key lemma in the paper [2], "Spaces of Topological Complexity One", which is necessary due to an oversight.

We prove that if $K$ is a compact space and the space $P(K\times K)$ of regular probability measures on $K\times K$ has countable tightness in its $weak^*$ topology, then $L_1(\mu)$ is separable for every $\mu\in P(K)$. It has been known…

This is a technical report, containing all the lemma and proposition proofs in paper "Topological Constraints on Identifying Additive Link Metrics via End-to-end Paths Measurements" by Liang Ma, Ting He, Kin K. Leung, Don Towsley, and…

This text highlights issues present in the proof of Lemma 6.10 of the Baumgartner (1943 -- 2011) article "Almost disjoint sets, the dense set problem and the partition calculus" of 1976, and intends to present a correction at the same time…

We present a solution of Exercise 1.2.1 of [2] which yields a short new proof of a key step in one of proofs of Brouwer's fixed point theorem, 1910. A few people asked the author about the details of the solution and they might be…

Chang's lemma is a useful tool in additive combinatorics and the analysis of Boolean functions. Here we give an elementary proof using entropy. The constant we obtain is tight, and we give a slight improvement in the case where the…

New version of my 1998 article. The method of proof of the main results follows the original, but there are many simplifications/streamlining of arguments, especially Lemma 3.6 (new Lemma 3.7). Fixed small error in proof of lower bound for…

In this note, the correction to the proof of one theorem in some our previous paper [arXiv:1302.0589] will be given.

In this paper we get characterizations countable tightness, countable fan-tightness and countable strong fan-tightness of spaces of quasicontinuous functions with the topology of pointwise convergence from a open Whyburn $T_2$-space $X$…

This is a technical report, containing all the theorem proofs and additional evaluations in paper "Network Capability in Localizing Node Failures via End-to-end Path Measurements" by Liang Ma, Ting He, Ananthram Swami, Don Towsley, and Kin…

We determine the proof-theoretic strength of the principle of countable saturation in the context of the systems for nonstandard arithmetic introduced in our earlier work.

A uniformly continuously integrable sequence of real-valued measurable functions, defined on some probability space, is relatively compact in the $\sigma(L^1,L^\infty)$ topology. In this paper, we link such a result to weak convergence…
