Let I be a sigma-ideal sigma-generated by a projective collection of closed sets. The forcing with I-positive Borel sets is proper and adds a single real r of an almost minimal degree: if s is a real in V[r] then s is Cohen generic over V…

We consider the generalized Egorov's statement (Egorov's Theorem without the assumption on measurability of the functions, see \cite{tw:nget}) in the case of an ideal convergence and a number of different types of ideal convergence notion.…

We show that for a $\sigma $-ideal $\ci$ with a Borel base of subsets of an uncountable Polish space, if $\ca$ is (in several senses) a "regular" family of subsets from $\ci $ then there is a subfamily of $\ca$ whose union is completely…

Borel separation rank of an analytic ideal $\mathcal{I}$ on $\omega$ is the minimal ordinal $\alpha<\omega_{1}$ such that there is $\mathcal{S}\in\bf{\Sigma^0_{1+\alpha}}$ with $\mathcal{I}\subseteq \mathcal{S}$ and $\mathcal{I}^\star\cap…

In this paper we consider a notion of universal sets for ideals. We show that there exist universal sets of minimal Borel complexity for classic ideals like null subsets of $2^\omega$ and meager subsets of any Polish space, and demonstrate…

For a family $\mathcal{F}\subseteq \omega^\omega$ we define the ideal $\mathcal{I}(\mathcal{F})$ on $\omega\times\omega$ to be the ideal generated by the family $\{A\subseteq \omega\times\omega:\exists f\in \mathcal{F}\,\forall^\infty n\,…

We prove that the existence of a Borel lower density operator (a Borel lifting) with respect to the $\sigma$-ideal of countable sets, for an uncountable Polish space, is equivalent to the Continuum Hypothesis.

In this paper we prove three theorems about the theory of Borel sets in models of ZF without any form of the axiom of choice. We prove that if B is a G-delta-sigma set, then either B is countable or B contains a perfect subset. Second, we…

A $\Sigma$-construction of Solovay is extended to the case of intermediate sets which are not necessarily subsets of the ground model, with a more transparent description of the resulting forcing notion than in the classical paper of…

With every $\sigma$-ideal $I$ on a Polish space we associate the $\sigma$-ideal $I^*$ generated by the closed sets in $I$. We study the forcing notions of Borel sets modulo the respective $\sigma$-ideals $I$ and $I^*$ and find connections…

We study the definability of maximal towers and of inextendible linearly ordered towers (ilt's), a notion that is more general than that of a maximal tower. We show that there is, in the constructible universe, a $\Pi^1_1$ definable maximal…

A $\Sigma$-construction of Solovay is partially extended to the case of intermediate sets which are not necessarily subsets of the ground model. As an application, we prove that, for a given name $t$, the set of all sets $t[G]$, $G$ being…

We solve the last standing open problem from the seminal paper by J. Gerlits and Zs. Nagy, which was later reposed by A. Miller, T. Orenshtein and B. Tsaban. Namely, we show that under p = c there is a \delta-set that is not a \gamma-set.…

Let $K/\mathbf{Q}_p$ be an unramified extension of degree $f$ with residue field $k$. Let $\sigma$ be an irreducible representation of $\mathrm{GL}_n(k)$ over $\overline{\mathbf{F}}_p$. For $n\ge 3$, we prove that the universal…

We prove that every usco multimap $\Phi:X\to Y$ from a metrizable separable space $X$ to a GO-space $Y$ has an $F_\sigma$-measurable selection. On the other hand, for the split interval $\ddot{\mathbb I}$ and the projection $P:\ddot{\mathbb…

In this paper we formulate three problems concerning topological properties of sets generating Borel non-sigma-compact groups. In case of the concrete F_\sigma\delta-subgroup of the Cantor group this gives an equivalent reformulation of the…

We prove in ZFC that for mu >= aleph_2 there is a sigma --ideal I on mu and a Boolean sigma --subalgebra B of the family of subsets of mu which includes I such that the natural homomorphism from B onto B/I cannot be lifted.

We prove that after adding a Silver real no ultrafilter from the ground model can be extended to a P-point, and this remains to be the case in any further extension which has the Sacks property. We conclude that there are no P-points in the…

We show that the set of Liouville numbers is either null or non-$\sigma$-finite with respect to every translation invariant Borel measure on $\RR$, in particular, with respect to every Hausdorff measure $\iH^g$ with gauge function $g$. This…

We construct a (shellable) polyhedral cell complex that supports a minimal free resolution of a Borel fixed ideal, which is minimally generated (in the Borel sense) by just one monomial in S=k[x_1,x_2,...,x_n]; this includes the case of…
