We construct Luzin-type subsets of the real line in all finite powers Rothberger, with a non-Menger product. To this end, we use a purely combinatorial approach which allows to weaken assumptions used earlier to construct sets with…
Menger's basis property is a generalization of $\sigma$-compactness and admits an elegant combinatorial interpretation. We introduce a general combinatorial method to construct non $\sigma$-compact sets of reals with Menger's property.…
We study products of general topological spaces with Menger's covering property, and its refinements based on filters and semifilters. To this end, we extend the projection method from the classic real line topology to the Michael topology.…
We provide new techniques to construct sets of reals without perfect subsets and with the Hurewicz or Menger covering properties. In particular, we show that if the Continuum Hypothesis holds, then there are such sets which can be mapped…
We study the preservation of selective covering properties, including classic ones introduced by Menger, Hurewicz, Rothberger, Gerlits and Nagy, and others, under products with some major families of concentrated sets of reals. Our methods…
This article is devoted to the interplay between forcing with fusion and combinatorial covering properties. We illustrate this interplay by proving that in the Laver model for the consistency of the Borel's conjecture, the product of any…
We construct, using mild combinatorial hypotheses, a real Menger set that is not Scheepers, and two real sets that are Menger in all finite powers, with a non-Menger product. By a forcing-theoretic argument, we show that the same holds in…
We prove that in the Miller model the Menger property is preserved by finite products of metrizable spaces. This answers several open questions and gives another instance of the interplay between classical forcing posets with fusion and…
We prove that assuming $\mathfrak{b}=\mathfrak{d}$, in the class of hereditarily Lindel\"of spaces, each productively Scheepers space is productively Hurewicz. The above statement remains true in the class of all general topological spaces…
This article is devoted to the interplay between productively Menger and productively Hurewicz subspaces of the Cantor space. In particular, we show that in the Laver model for the consistency of the Borel's conjecture these two notions…
We develop the semifilter approach to the classical Menger and Hurewicz covering properties and show that the small cardinal g is a lower bound of the additivity number of the family of Menger subspaces of the Baire space, and under u< g…
We consider products of sets of reals with a combinatorial structure based on scales parameterized by filters. This kind of sets were intensively investigated in products of spaces with combinatorial covering properties as Hurewicz,…
The theorem we prove is a slight strengthening of some results by Just, Miller, Scheepers and Szeptycki [JMSS]. We use the Michael technique instead of the combinatorial approach in the literature. Comments by the submitter: This short…
In classical works, Hurewicz and Menger introduced two diagonalization properties for sequences of open covers. Hurewicz found a combinatorial characterization of these notions in terms of continuous images. Recently, Scheepers has shown…
In this paper we discuss what kind of constrains combinatorial covering properties of Menger, Scheepers, and Hurewicz impose on remainders of topological groups. For instance, we show that such a remainder is Hurewicz if and only it is…
We characterize various Menger/Rothberger related properties by means of ultrafilter convergence, and discuss their behavior with respect to products.
Hindman's celebrated Finite Sums Theorem, and its high-dimensional version due to Milliken and Taylor, are extended from covers of countable sets to covers of arbitrary topological spaces with Menger's classic covering property. The methods…
Tensor products of ultrafilters have special combinatorial features closely related to Ramsey's Theorem, making them useful tools in applications. Here we first review their fundamental properties and isolate some new ones, including a…
We study the relation between the Hurewicz and Menger properties of filters considered topologically as subspaces of P(\omega) with the Cantor set topology.
The product of a Sierpinski set and a Lusin set has Menger's property. The product of a gamma set and a Lusin set has Rothberger's property.
