Let $\mathcal M_X$ denote the ideal of meager subsets of a topological space $X$. We prove that if $X$ is a completely metrizable space without isolated points, then the smallest cardinality of a non-meager subset of $X$, denoted…

We study the problem of topologically order-embedding a given topological poset X in the space of all closed subsets of X which is topologized by the Fell topology and ordered by set inclusion. We show that this can be achieved whenever X…

We study the relations between a generalization of pseudocompactness, named $(\kappa, M)$-pseudocompactness, the countably compactness of subspaces of $\beta \omega$ and the pseudocompactness of their hyperspaces. We show, by assuming the…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective surface over the complex number field and let $L$ be a nef-big divisor on $X$. Here we consider the following conjecture; If the Kodaira dimension $\kappa(X)\geq 0$, then $K_{X}L\geq 2q(X)-4$, where $q(X)$ is…

We indicate a way of distinguishing between structures, for which, two structures are said to be separable.Being separable implies being non-isomorphic. We show that for any first order theory $T$ in a countable language, if it has an…

A space X is kappa-resolvable (resp. almost kappa-resolvable) if it contains kappa dense sets that are pairwise disjoint (resp. almost disjoint over the ideal of nowhere dense subsets of X). Answering a problem raised by Juhasz, Soukup, and…

We construct a consistent example of a topological space $Y=X \cup \{\infty\}$ such that: 1) $Y$ is regular. 2) Every $G_\delta$ subset of $Y$ is open. 3) The point $\infty$ is not isolated, but it is not in the closure of any discrete…

In this paper we show how to build a model of $ZFC$ such that all its inner models satisfying the Axiom of Choice are well-ordered with respect to inclusion, and that said ordering is of arbitrary height (including possibly $Ord$ high). We…

We observe that the notions of a topological space being extremally disconnected, and of a continuous map of compact Hausdorff spaces being proper, and being surjective proper, can each be defined in terms of the Quillen lifting property…

If $S,T$ are stationary subsets of a regular uncountable cardinal $\kappa$, we say that $S$ reflects fully in $T$, $S<T$, if for almost all $\alpha \in T$ (except a nonstationary set) $S \cap \alpha$ is stationary in $\alpha .$ This…

For each countable ordinal $\alpha$ let $\mathcal{S}_{\alpha}$ be the Schreier set of order $\alpha$ and $X_{\mathcal{S}_\alpha}$ be the corresponding Schreier space of order $\alpha$. In this paper we prove several new properties of these…

For a topological space $X$ its reflection in a class $\mathsf T$ of topological spaces is a pair $(\mathsf T X,i_X)$ consisting of a space $\mathsf T X\in\mathsf T$ and continuous map $i_X:X\to \mathsf T X$ such that for any continuous map…

We continue [Sh:b, Ch XIII] and [Sh:410]. Let W be an inner model of ZFC. Let kappa be a cardinal in V. We say that kappa-covering holds between V and W iff for all X in V with X subseteq ON and V models |X|< kappa, there exists Y in W such…

Assume $\kappa = \kappa^{< \kappa}$ (usually $\aleph_0$ or an inaccessible). We shall deal with iterated forcings preserving ${}^{\kappa>}{\rm Ord}$ and not collapsing cardinals along a linear order $L$. A sufficient condition for this,…

An algebraic tree T is one determined by a finite system of fixed point equations. The frontier \Fr(T) of an algebraic tree t is linearly ordered by the lexicographic order \lex. When (\Fr(T),\lex) is well-ordered, its order type is an…

We construct a complete locally convex topological vector space $X$ of countable algebraic dimension and a continuous linear operator $T:X\to X$ such that $T$ has no non-trivial closed invariant subspaces.

A convex subset X of a linear topological space is called compactly convex if there is a continuous compact-valued map $\Phi:X\to exp(X)$ such that $[x,y]\subset\Phi(x)\cup \Phi(y)$ for all $x,y\in X$. We prove that each convex subset of…

We investigate connections between resolvability and different forms of tightness. This study is adjacent to [1,2]. We construct a non-regular refinement $\tau^*$ of the natural topology of the real line $\mathbb{R}$ with properties such…

If a separable Banach space $X$ is such that for some nonquasireflexive Banach space $Y$ there exists a surjective strictly singular operator $T:X\to Y$ then for every countable ordinal $\alpha $ the dual of $X$ contains a subspace whose…

It is shown that the boldface maximality principle for subcomplete forcing, together with the assumption that the universe has only set-many grounds, implies the existence of a (parameter-free) definable well-ordering of…
