We construct, using $\diamondsuit$, an example of a sequential group $G$ such that the only countable sequential subgroups of $G$ are closed and discrete, and the only quotients of $G$ that have a countable pseudocharacter are countable and…

We consider precompact sequential and Fr\'echet group topologies and show that some natural constructions of such topologies always result in metrizable groups answering a question of D.~Dikranjan et al. We show that it is consistent that…

We show that it is consistent to have an uncountable sequential group of intermediate sequential order while no countable such groups exist. This is proved by adding $\omega_2$ Cohen reals to a model of $\diamondsuit$.

We prove that it is consistent with ZFC that no sequential topological groups of intermediate sequential orders exist. This shows that the answer to a 1981 question of P.~Nyikos is independent of the standard axioms of set theory. The model…

An $\omega_1$-compact space is a space in which every closed discrete subspace is countable. We give various general conditions under which a locally compact, $\omega_1$-compact space is $\sigma$-countably compact, i.e., the union of…

We show that the analogues of the Hamkins embedding theorems, proved for the countable models of set theory, do not hold when extended to the uncountable realm of $\omega_1$-like models of set theory. Specifically, under the $\diamondsuit$…

We answer a question of S.~Todor\v{c}evi\'c and C.~Uzc\'ategui from \cite{TU1} by showing that the only possible sequential orders of sequential analytic groups are $1$ and $\omega_1$. Other results on the structure of sequential analytic…

We prove that if there are $\mathfrak c$ incomparable selective ultrafilters then, for every infinite cardinal $\kappa$ such that $\kappa^\omega=\kappa$, there exists a group topology on the free Abelian group of cardinality $\kappa$…

Under $\mathfrak{p} = \mathfrak{c}$, we answer Question 24 of \cite{dikranjan&shakhmatov3} for cardinality ${\mathfrak c}$ , by showing that if a non-torsion Abelian group of size continuum admits a countably compact Hausdorff group…

We show that if $\kappa \leq \omega$ and there exists a group topology without non-trivial convergent sequences on an Abelian group $H$ such that $H^n$ is countably compact for each $n<\kappa$ then there exists a topological group $G$ such…

We construct, in $\mathsf{ZFC}$, a countably compact subgroup of $2^{\mathfrak{c}}$ without non-trivial convergent sequences, answering an old problem of van Douwen. As a consequence we also prove the existence of two countably compact…

A non-trivial topological group is called \emph{$d$-independent} if for every subgroup of cardinality less than the continuum there exists a countable dense subgroup intersecting it trivially. This notion was introduced by M\'arquez and…

We construct uncountably many discrete groups of type $FP$; in particular we construct groups of type $FP$ that do not embed in any finitely presented group. We compute the ordinary, $\ell^2$- and compactly-supported cohomology of these…

We give examples of $n$-sequentially compact spaces that are not $(n+1)$-sequentially compact under several assumptions. We improve results from Kubis and Szeptycki by building such examples from $\mathfrak{b=c}$ and…

A structural analysis of construction schemes is developed. That analysis is used to give simple and new constructions of combinatorial objects which have been of interest to set theorists and topologists. We then continue the study of…

We sow that there exists a generic extension of the G\"{o}del's constructible universe in which diamond holds and there exists a subset $Y \subseteq \omega_1$ such that for stationary many $\delta < \omega_1,$ the set $Y \cap \delta$ is not…

Revisiting and completing a work due to A. I. Ba\v{s}kirov, we construct compact sequential spaces of any sequential order up to and including $\omega_1$ as quotient spaces of $\beta\omega$ under CH.

We work in set-theory without choice $\ZF$. Given a closed subset $F$ of $[0,1]^I$ which is a bounded subset of $\ell^1(I)$ ({\em resp.} such that $F \subseteq \ell^0(I)$), we show that the countable axiom of choice for finite subsets of…

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 discrete subset $S$ of a topological group $G$ is called a {\it suitable set} for $G$ if $S\cup \{e\}$ is closed in $G$ and the subgroup generated by $S$ is dense in $G$, where $e$ is the identity element of $G$. In this paper, the…
