We show in detail that every compact countable subset of a metric space is homeomorphic to a countable ordinal number, which extends a result given by Mazurkiewicz and Sierpinski for finite-dimensional Euclidean spaces. In order to achieve…

A compact space X is I-favorable if, and only if X can be representing as a limit of $\sigma$-complete inverse system of compact metrizable spaces with skeletal bonding maps.

For every compact, connected manifold $M$, we prove the existence of a sentence $\phi_M$ in the language of groups such that the homeomorphism group of another compact manifold $N$ satisfies $\phi_M$ if and only if $N$ is homeomorphic to…

We define several notions of a limit point on sequences with domain a barrier in $[\omega]^{<\omega}$ focusing on the two dimensional case $[\omega]^2$. By exploring some natural candidates, we show that countable compactness has a number…

We study open colorings in certain classes of hereditary Lindel\"{o}f ($\mathsf{HL}$) spaces and submetrizable spaces. In particular, we show that the definible version for the Open Graph Axiom ($\mathsf{OGA}$) holds for the class of…

We study methods to obtain the consistency of forcing axioms, and particularly higher forcing axioms. We first force over a model with a supercompact cardinal $\theta>\kappa$ to get the consistency of the forcing axiom for $\kappa$-strongly…

We show that $\mathsf{PFA}$ (Proper Forcing Axiom) implies that adding any number of Cohen subsets of $\omega$ will not add an $\omega_2$-Aronszajn tree or a weak $\omega_1$-Kurepa tree, and moreover no $\sigma$-centered forcing can add a…

We prove that a compact space is monotonically Sokolov if and only if it is monotonically $\omega$-monolithic. This gives answers to several questions of R. Rojas-Hernandez and V. V. Tkachuk.

We explore the connection between two seemingly distant fields: the set of cyclic functions $f$ in a Hilbert space of analytic functions over the unit disc $\D$, on the one hand, and the families of orthogonal polynomials for a weight on…

Cummings, Foreman, and Magidor proved that Jensen's square principle is non-compact at $\aleph_\omega$, meaning that it is consistent that $\square_{\aleph_n}$ holds for all $n<\omega$ while $\square_{\aleph_\omega}$ fails. We investigate…

The class of Hausdorff spaces that are continuous images of compact orderable spaces is studied by analyzing the relationship between the elements of this class and compact orderable spaces in a back-and-forth fashion. Structure results for…

In this note we prove that a regular continuous open image of the Sorgenfrey line with an uncountable weight has a closed subspace that is homeomorphic to the Sorgenfrey line. As a corollary we deduce the theorem in the title.

For a relational structure ${\mathbb X}$ we investigate the partial order $\langle {\mathbb P} ({\mathbb X}) ,\subset \rangle$, where ${\mathbb P} ({\mathbb X}):=\{ f[X]: f\in \mathop{\rm Emb}\nolimits ({\mathbb X})\}$. Here we consider…

For a Hausdorff zero-dimensional topological space $X$ and a totally ordered field $F$ with interval topology, let $C_c(X,F)$ be the ring of all $F-$valued continuous functions on $X$ with countable range. It is proved that if $F$ is either…

A topological space $X$ is cometrizable if it admits a weaker metrizable topology such that each point $x\in X$ has a (not necessarily open) neighborhood base consisting of metrically closed sets. We study the relation of cometrizable…

Assuming that there is no inner model with a strong cardinal, the following is shown: any subset of \omega_1 can be made \Delta^1_3 (in the codes) by a reasonable set-forcing; there is a reasonable set-generic extension with a \Delta^1_3…

In this manuscript, we claim that the newly introduced $\mathcal{F}$-metric spaces are Hausdorff and also first countable. Moreover, we assert that every separable $\mathcal{F}$-metric space is second countable. Additionally, we acquire…

If $X$ is a topological space and $\kappa$ is a cardinal then $\mathsf{BA}_\kappa (X)$ is the statement that for each pair $A, B \subseteq X$ of $\kappa$-dense subsets there is an autohomeomorphism $h:X \to X$ mapping $A$ to $B$. In…

The topological reconstruction problem asks how much information about a topological space can be recovered from its point-complement subspaces. If the whole space can be recovered in this way, it is called reconstructible. Our main result…

I introduce a new family of axioms extending ZFC set theory, the $\Sigma_n$-correct forcing axioms. These assert roughly that whenever a forcing name $\dot{a}$ can be forced by a poset in some forcing class $\Gamma$ to have some $\Sigma_n$…
