We introduce combinatorial principles that characterize strong compactness and supercompactness for inaccessible cardinals but also make sense for successor cardinals. Their consistency is established from what is supposedly optimal.…
Let $\mathcal{I}$ be a meager ideal on $\mathbf{N}$. We show that if $x$ is a sequence with values in a separable metric space then the set of subsequences [resp. permutations] of $x$ which preserve the set of $\mathcal{I}$-cluster points…
We develop a theoretical framework to study slowly rotating compact stars in a rather general class of alternative theories of gravity, with the ultimate goal of investigating constraints on alternative theories from electromagnetic and…
We show that a linearly ordered topological space is initially \lambda-compact if and only if it is \lambda-bounded, that is, every set of cardinality $\leq \lambda$ has compact closure. As a consequence, every product of initially…
The purpose of this note is to provide an overview of the containment problem for symbolic and ordinary powers of homogeneous ideals, related conjectures and examples. We focus here on ideals with zero dimensional support. This is an area…
This paper concerns the self-similarity of topological spaces, in the sense defined in math.DS/0411344. I show how to recognize self-similar spaces, or more precisely, universal solutions of self-similarity systems. Examples include the…
This is a survey of some of the consequences of the recently introduced congruences on the theory of connectednesses (radical classes) and disconnectednesses (semisimple classes) of graphs and topological spaces. In particular, it is shown…
In this note we consider two simplicial arrangements of lines and ideals $I$ of intersection points of these lines. There are $127$ intersection points in both cases and the numbers $t_i$ of points lying on exactly $i$ configuration lines…
We revisit the known problem whether each compact topology is contained in a maximal compact topology and collect some partial answers to this question. For instance we show that each compact topology is contained in a compact topology in…
A finite relational structure A is called compact if for any infinite relational structure B of the same type, the existence of a homomorphism from B to A is equivalent to the existence of homomorphisms from all finite substructures of B to…
For each countable ordinal $\alpha \ge 2$, the ideals $\mathsf{conv}_\alpha$ were introduced in ``Critical ideals for countable compact spaces'' (to appear in Fund. Math., see also arXiv:2503.12571) to characterize compact countable spaces…
In this work, we study a new notion involving convergence of microstructures represented by matrices $B^\epsilon$ related to the classical $H$-convergence of $A^\epsilon$. It incorporates the interaction between the two microstructures.…
This paper presents a unified framework for determining the congruences on a number of monoids and categories of transformations, diagrams, matrices and braids, and on all their ideals. The key theoretical advances present an iterative…
In a previous paper the second author introduced a compact topology on the space of closed ideals of a unital Banach algebra A. If A is separable then this topology is either metrizable or else neither Hausdorff nor first countable. Here it…
An ideal on a set $X$ is a collection of subsets of $X$ closed under the operations of taking finite unions and subsets of its elements. Ideals are a very useful notion in topology and set theory and have been studied for a long time. We…
When studying the causal propagation of a field in a globally hyperbolic spacetime M, one often wants to express the physical intuition that it has compact support in spacelike directions, or that its support is a spacelike compact set. We…
If we consider a sequence of warped product length spaces, what conditions on the sequence of warping functions implies compactness of the sequence of distance functions? In particular, we want to know when a subsequence converges to a well…
In this paper, it is shown that a topological space $X$ is compact iff every maximal ideal of the power set ring $\mathcal{P}(X)$ converges to exactly one point of $X$. Then as an application, simple and ring-theoretic proofs are provided…
We present examples which show that in dimension higher than one or codimension higher than two, there exist toric ideals I_A such that no binomial ideal contained in I_A and of the same dimension is a complete intersection. This result has…
Among the several types of closures of an ideal $I$ that have been defined and studied in the past decades, the integral closure $\bar{I}$ has a central place being one of the earliest and most relevant. Despite this role, it is often a…
