We introduce a ZFC method that enables us to build spaces (in fact special dense subspaces of certain Cantor cubes) in which we have "full control" over all dense subsets. Using this method we are able to construct, in ZFC, for each…
We discuss some highlights of our computer-verified proof of the construction, given a countable transitive set-model $M$ of $\mathit{ZFC}$, of generic extensions satisfying $\mathit{ZFC}+\neg\mathit{CH}$ and $\mathit{ZFC}+\mathit{CH}$.…
The positive existential theories of the sets $M_n(\mathbb N)$ without parameters build an inclusion lattice isomorhic with the lattice of divisibility. All these sets are algorithmically undecidable. In further sections some easier…
We prove that in a Euclidean space of dimension at least two, there exists a compact set of Lebesgue measure zero such that any real-valued Lipschitz function defined on the space is differentiable at some point in the set. Such a set is…
Conformal symmetry is taken as an attribute of theories of massless fields in manifolds with specific dimensionalities. This paper shows that this is not an absolute truth; it is a consequence of the mathematical representation used for the…
We deal with topological spaces homeomorphic to their respective squares. Primarily, we investigate the existence of large families of such spaces in some subclasses of compact metrizable spaces. As our main result we show that there is a…
A metric space $(M, d)$ is said to be universal for a class of metric spaces if all metric spaces in the class can be isometrically embedded into $(M, d)$. In this paper, for a metrizable space $Z$ possessing abundant subspaces, we first…
Within Bishop Set Theory, a reconstruction of Bishop's theory of sets, we study the so-called completely separated sets, that is sets equipped with a positive notion of an inequality, induced by a given set of real-valued functions. We…
Proofs of Tychonoff's theorem often seem to require a bit of magic. Machinery such as ultrafilters, nets or maximal families with the finite intersection property are employed to give proofs that can be very neat, but not the kind of thing…
We demonstrate that theories $\text{Z}^-$, $\text{ZF}^-$, $\text{ZFC}^-$ (minus means the absence of the Power Set axiom) and $\text{PA}_2$, $\text{PA}_2^-$ (minus means the absence of the Countable Choice schema) are equiconsistent to each…
The property of countable metacompactness of a topological space gets its importance from Dowker's 1951 theorem that the product of a normal space X with the unit interval is again normal iff X is countably metacompact. In a recent paper,…
A theoretical development is carried to establish fundamental results about rank-initial embeddings and automorphisms of countable non-standard models of set theory, with a keen eye for their sets of fixed points. These results are then…
Let $\mathbf{\eta}$ be a positive Radon measure on the space of continuous paths from R into a locally compact Polish space $Y$, and assume that $\mathbf{\eta}$ admits an invariant measure. We explicit conditions on $\mathbf{\eta}$ such…
The stability problem of a class of nonlinear switched systems defined on compact sets with state-dependent switching is considered. Instead of the Caratheodory solutions, the general Filippov solutions are studied. This encapsulates…
The following selection theorem is established:\\ Let $X$ be a compactum possessing a binary normal subbase $\mathcal S$ for its closed subsets. Then every set-valued $\mathcal S$-continuous map $\Phi\colon Z\to X$ with closed $\mathcal…
We prove under ZFC that in each extremally disconnected compact space there exists a non-limit point of any countable discrete subset.
We use $\diamondsuit$ to construct, for every $\alpha\leq\omega_1$ a sequential countably compact topological group of sequential order $\alpha$. This establishes the independence of the existence of sequential countably compact non…
By definition, the intersection of finitely many open sets of any topological space is open. Nachbin observed that, more generally, the intersection of compactly many open sets is open. Moreover, Nachbin applied this to obtain elegant…
In this survey, my aim has been to discuss the use of sequences and countable sets in general topology. In this way I have been led to consider five different classes of topological spaces: first countable spaces, sequential spaces, Frechet…
Sets with atoms serve as an alternative to ZFC foundations for mathematics, where some infinite, though highly symmetric sets, behave in a finitistic way. Therefore, one can try to carry over analysis of the classical algorithms from finite…
