It is well-known that every non-isolated point in a compact Hausdorff space is the accumulation point of a discrete subset. Answering a question raised by Z. Szentmiklossy and the first author, we show that this statement fails for…
We show that there are locally compact spaces that can be condensed onto separable spaces but not onto compact separable spaces. We also show that for every cardinal $\kappa$ there is a locally compact topological group of cardinality…
Using Koszmider's strongly unbounded functions, we show the following consistency result: Suppose that $\kappa,\lambda$ are infinite cardinals such that $\kappa^{+++} \leq \lambda$, $\kappa^{<\kappa}=\kappa$ and $2^{\kappa}= \kappa^+$, and…
We generalize the results from "P. Lipparini, Productive $[\lambda,\mu]$-compactness and regular ultrafilters, Topology Proceedings, 21 (1996), 161--171"; in particular the present results apply to singular cardinals, too.
We consider, for infinite cardinals kappa and alpha <= kappa^+, the group Pi(kappa,< alpha) of sequences of integers, of length kappa, with non-zero entries in fewer than alpha positions. Our main result tells when Pi(kappa,< alpha) can be…
Let $\kappa$ be an uncountable cardinal with $\kappa=\kappa^{{<}\kappa}$. Given a cardinal $\mu$, we equip the set ${}^\kappa\mu$ consisting of all functions from $\kappa$ to $\mu$ with the topology whose basic open sets consist of all…
Given a weakly compact cardinal $\kappa$, we give an axiomatization of intuitionistic first-order logic over $\mathcal{L}_{\kappa^+, \kappa}$ and prove it is sound and complete with respect to Kripke models. As a consequence we get the…
We revisit several results concerning club principles and nonsaturation of the nonstationary ideal, attempting to improve them in various ways. So we typically deal with a (non necessarily normal) ideal $J$ extending the nonstationary ideal…
It is an interesting, maybe surprising, fact that different dense subspaces of even "nice" topological spaces can have different densities. So, our aim here is to investigate the set of densities of all dense subspaces of a topological…
Given a regular cardinal $\kappa$ such that $\kappa^{<\kappa}=\kappa$ (e.g., if the Generalized Continuum Hypothesis holds), we develop a proof system for classical infinitary logic that includes heterogeneous quantification (i.e., infinite…
We prove that for any regular kappa and mu > kappa below the first fix point (lambda = aleph_lambda) above kappa, there is a graph with chromatic number > kappa, and mu^kappa nodes but every subgraph of cardinality < mu has chromatic number…
For a cardinal $\kappa > \omega$ a metric space $X$ is called to be $\kappa$-superuniversal whenever for every metric space $Y$ with $|Y| < \kappa$ every partial isometry from a subset of $Y$ into $X$ can be extended over the whole space…
We investigate whether the ultrafilter number function $\kappa \mapsto \mathfrak{u}(\kappa)$ on the cardinals is monotone, that is, whether $\mathfrak{u}(\lambda) \le \mathfrak{u}(\kappa)$ holds for all cardinals $\lambda < \kappa$ or not.…
A cardinal kappa is countably closed if mu^omega < kappa whenever mu < kappa. Assume that there is no inner model with a Woodin cardinal and that every set has a sharp. Let K be the core model. Assume that kappa is a countably closed…
Answering a question of Sakai, we show that the existence of an $\omega_1$-Erd\H{o}s cardinal suffices to obtain the consistency of Chang's Conjecture with $\square_{\omega_1, 2}$. By a result of Donder this is best possible. We also give…
Given a cardinal $\kappa$ that is $\lambda$-supercompact for some regular cardinal $\lambda\geq\kappa$ and assuming $\GCH$, we show that one can force the continuum function to agree with any function $F:[\kappa,\lambda]\cap\REG\to\CARD$…
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…
Assuming the existence of a strong cardinal $\kappa$, a weakly compact cardinal $\lambda$ above it and $\gamma > \lambda,$ we force a generic extension in which $\kappa$ is a singular strong limit cardinal of any given cofinality $\delta$,…
We show a new proof for the fact that when $\kappa$ and $\lambda$ are infinite cardinals satisfying $\lambda ^ \kappa = \lambda$, the cofinality of the set of all functions from $\lambda$ to $\kappa$ ordered by everywhere domination is…
We investigate the provability of classical combinatorial theorems in ZF. Using combinatorial arguments, we establish the following results for each infinite cardinal ${\kappa}\in On$, (1) ${\kappa}^+\to ({\kappa},{\omega}+1)$, (2) any…
