We prove that for each universal algebra $(A,\mathcal A)$ of cardinality $|A|\ge 2$ and an infinite set $X$ of cardinality $|X|\ge|\mathcal A|$, the $X$-th power $(A^X,\mathcal A^X)$ of the algebra $(A,\mathcal A)$ contains a free subset…

Let G be a complex Lie group, G_R a real form of G and X a G_R-stable domain of holomorphy in a complex G-manifold. If there is a G_R-invariant strictly plurisubharmonic function on X which has certain exhaustion properties, then we show…

Let $\sum (X)$ be the collection of subalgebras of $C(X)$ containing $C^{*}(X)$, where $X$ is a Tychonoff space. For any $A(X)\in \sum(X)$ there is associated a subset $\upsilon_{A}(X)$ of $\beta X$ which is an $A$-analogue of the Hewitt…

A base of a topological space is called {\em Noetherian } iff it does not contain an infinite strictly $\subseteq$-increasing chain. We show that minimal cardinality of a regular spaces without a Noetherian base is the first strongly…

In this paper, we prove first that the space of minimal sets of any homeomorphisms $f:X\to X$ of a regular curve $X$ is closed in the hyperspace $2^X$ of closed subsets of $X$ endowed with the Hausdorff metric, and the non-wandering set…

We introduce a geometric invariant, called finite decomposition complexity (FDC), to study topological rigidity of manifolds. We prove for instance that if the fundamental group of a compact aspherical manifold M has FDC, and if N is…

We define the discrete degree of symmetry $disc-sym(X)$ of a closed $n$-manifold $X$ as the biggest $m\geq 0$ such that $X$ supports an effective action of $({\mathbf Z}/r)^m$ for arbitrarily big values of $r$. We prove that if $X$ is…

For each arbitrary finite group $G$, we consider a suitable notion of Gromov Hausdorff distance between compact $G$ metric spaces and derive lower bounds based on equivariant topology methods. As applications, we prove equivariant rigidity…

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…

Hajnal and Juh\'asz proved that if $X$ is a $T_1$-space, then $|X|\le 2^{s(X)\psi(X)}$, and if $X$ is a Hausdorff space, then $|X|\le 2^{c(X)\chi(X)}$ and $|X|\le 2^{2^{s(X)}}$. Schr\"oder sharpened the first two estimations by showing that…

Let $(X, d)$ be a compact metric space and let $\mathcal{M}(X)$ denote the space of all finite signed Borel measures on $X$. Define $I \colon \mathcal{M}(X) \to \R$ by \[ I(\mu) = \int_X \int_X d(x,y) d\mu(x) d\mu(y), \] and set $M(X) =…

Inspired by work of Scheepers and Tall, we use properties defined by topological games to provide bounds for the cardinality of topological spaces. We obtain a partial answer to an old question of Bell, Ginsburg and Woods regarding the…

Let $G(X)$ denote the size of the largest gap between consecutive primes below $X$. Answering a question of Erdos, we show that $$G(X) \geq f(X) \frac{\log X \log \log X \log \log \log \log X}{(\log \log \log X)^2},$$ where $f(X)$ is a…

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…

For every finite closure space $X$ one can define a finite topological space $\operatorname{Top} X$ together with a natural projection $\operatorname{Top} X\longrightarrow X$. This could allow to apply the techniques of topological…

Baez asks whether the Euler characteristic (defined for spaces with finite homology) can be reconciled with the homotopy cardinality (defined for spaces with finite homotopy). We consider the smallest infinity category…

We prove that if $\lambda$ is a fixed uncountable cardinal and $f = \langle \ka_{\al} : \al < \delta \rangle$ is a sequence of infinite cardinals where $\delta < \omega_3$ and $\ka_{\al}\in \{\om,\lambda\}$ for each $\al < \delta$ in such a…

Given a space $X$ we investigate the descriptive complexity class $\G_X$ of the set $\FF_0(X)$ of all its closed zero-dimensional subsets, viewed as a subset of the hyperspace $\FF(X)$ of all closed subsets of $X$. We prove that $\max \{…

For a Tychonoff space $X$, the lattice $\mathscr U_X$ was introduced in L.A. P\'erez-Morales, G. Delgadillo-Pi\~n\'on, and R. Pichardo-Mendoza, "The lattice of uniform topologies on $C(X)$", Questions and Answers in General Topology, 39…

For a topological space X, let (RX)s := (RX,Ts) be the cartesian product of |X| copies of the real line R with the topology of the uniform convergence on separable subsets of X. In this article we analyze the subspace C(X) of (RX)s of all…
