A celebrated 1922 theorem of Kuratowski states that there are at most 14 distinct sets arising from applying the operations of complementation and closure, any number of times, in any order, to a subset of a topological space. In this paper…

Kuratowski's 14-set theorem says that in a topological space, 14 is the maximum possible number of distinct sets which can be generated from a fixed set by taking closures and complements. In this article we consider the analogous questions…

Let $X$ be a space equipped with $n$ topologies $\tau_1,...,\tau_n$ which are pairwise comparable and saturated, and for each $1\leq i\leq n$ let $k_i$ and $f_i$ be the associated topological closure and frontier operators, respectively.…

Generalizing the famous 14-set closure-complement Theorem of Kuratowski from 1922, we prove that for a set $X$ endowed with $n$ pairwise comparable topologies $\tau_1\subset\dots\subset\tau_n$, by repeated application of the operations of…

A famous theorem of Kuratowski states that in a topological space, at most 14 distinct sets can be produced by repeatedly applying the operations of closure and complement to a given set. We re-examine this theorem in the setting of formal…

We equip a topological space $(X,\tau)$ with a function $\mathfrak{a}: X \to \tau$ satisfying the single axiom $x \in \mathfrak{a}(x)$. The resulting triple $(X, \tau, \mathfrak{a})$, which we call an aura topological space, provides a…

The Kuratowski monoid $\mathbf{K}$ is generated under operator composition by closure and complement in a nonempty topological space. It satisfies $2\leq|\mathbf{K}|\leq14$. The Gaida-Eremenko (or GE) monoid $\mathbf{KF}$ extends…

We study M-separability as well as some other combinatorial versions of separability. In particular, we show that the set-theoretic hypothesis b=d implies that the class of selectively separable spaces is not closed under finite products,…
