All spaces below are $T_0$ and crowded (i.e. have no isolated points). For $n \le \omega$ let $M(n)$ be the statement that there are $n$ measurable cardinals and $\Pi(n)$ ($\Pi^+(n)$) that there are $n+1$ (0-dimensional $T_2$) spaces whose…

An extension of Marcinkiewicz Interpolation Theorem, allowing intermediate spaces of Orlicz type, is proved. This generalization yields a necessary and sufficient condition so that every quasilinear operator, which maps the set, $S(X,\mu)$,…

Building on our prior work on axiomatization of exact real computation by formalizing nondeterministic first-order partial computations over real and complex numbers in a constructive dependent type theory, we present a framework for…

We introduce the notion of $K$-ideals associated with Kuratowski partitions and we prove that each $\kappa$-complete ideal on a measurable cardinal $\kappa$ can be represented as a $K$-ideal. Moreover, we show some results concerning…

We prove that, under CH, any space with a regular $G_\delta$-diagonal and caliber $\omega_1$ is separable; a corollary of this result answers, under CH, a question of Buzyakova. For any Urysohn space $X$, we establish the inequality $|X|\le…

Let $X$ be a zero-dimensional metric space and $X'$ its derived set. We prove the following assertions: (1) the space $C_k(X,2)$ is an Ascoli space iff $C_k(X,2)$ is $k_\mathbb{R}$-space iff either $X$ is locally compact or $X$ is not…

We prove that it is relatively consistent with ZFC that in any perfect Polish space, for every nonmeager set A there exists a nowhere dense Cantor set C such that A intersect C is nonmeager in C. We also examine variants of this result and…

Motivated by results of Juh\'asz and van Mill in [13], we define the cardinal invariant $wt(X)$, the weak tightness of a topological space $X$, and show that $|X|\leq 2^{L(X)wt(X)\psi(X)}$ for any Hausdorff space $X$ (Theorem 2.8). As…

A compact space $X$ is called $\pi$-monolithic if for any surjective continuous mapping $f:X\rightarrow K$ where $K$ is a metrizable compact space there exists a metrizable compact space $T\subseteq X$ such that $f(T)=K$. A topological…

Denote by $\mathbf C_k[\mathfrak M]$ the $C_k$-stable closure of the class $\mathfrak M$ of all metrizable spaces, i.e., $\mathbf C_k[\mathfrak M]$ is the smallest class of topological spaces that contains $\mathfrak M$ and is closed under…

A topological space $Y$ is said to have (AEEP) if the following condition is fulfilled. Whenever $(X,\mathfrak{M})$ is a measurable space and $f, g: X \to Y$ are two measurable functions, then the set $\Delta(f,g) = \{x \in X:\ f(x) =…

We prove that if the universal minimal flow of a Polish group $G$ is metrizable and contains a $G_\delta$ orbit $G \cdot x_0$, then it is isomorphic to the completion of the homogeneous space $G/G_{x_0}$ and show how this result translates…

A packing by a body $K$ is collection of congruent copies of $K$ (in either Euclidean or hyperbolic space) so that no two copies intersect nontrivially in their interiors. A covering by $K$ is a collection of congruent copies of $K$ such…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective surface over the complex number field and let $L$ be a nef-big divisor on $X$. Here we consider the following conjecture; If the Kodaira dimension $\kappa(X)\geq 0$, then $K_{X}L\geq 2q(X)-4$, where $q(X)$ is…

We introduce and analyze a new cardinal characteristic of the continuum, the \emph{splitting number of the reals}, denoted $\mathfrak{s}(\mathbb R)$. This number is connected to Efimov's problem, which asks whether every infinite compact…

A metric space $\mathbf{X}$ is called densely complete if there exists a dense set $D$ in $\mathbf{X}$ such that every Cauchy sequence of points of $D $ converges in $\mathbf{X}$. One of the main aims of this work is to prove that the…

Work in the measure algebra of the Lebesgue measure on the Cantor space: for comeager many $[A]$ the set of points $x$ such that the density of $x $ at $A$ is not defined is $\Sigma^{0}_{3}$-complete; for some compact $K$ the set of points…

A mapping $f:X\to Y$ between metric spaces is called \emph{little Lipschitz} if the quantity $$ \operatorname{lip}(f(x)=\liminf_{r\to0}\frac{\operatorname{diam} f(B(x,r))}{r} $$ is finite for every $x\in X$. We prove that if a compact (or,…

The famous Michael selection theorem deals with the characterisation of paracompact spaces by continuous selections of lower semi-continuous mappings in Banach spaces. In this paper, we will discuss several equivalent forms of this theorem,…

For a Tychonoff space $X$, $B_1(X)$ denotes the space of all Baire-one functions on $X$ endowed with the pointwise topology. We prove that the following assertions are equivalent: (1) $B_1(X)$ is a (semi-)Montel space, (2) $B_1(X)$ is a…
