Given an arbitrary measurable cardinal $\kappa$, a nondiscrete Hausdorff extremally disconnected topological group of cardinality $\kappa$ is constructed.
A partition is finitary if all its blocks are finite. For a cardinal $\mathfrak{a}$ and a natural number $n$, let $\mathrm{fin}(\mathfrak{a})$ and $\mathscr{B}_{n}(\mathfrak{a})$ be the cardinalities of the set of finite subsets and the set…
Every infinite group $G$ of regular cardinality can be partitioned $G=A_1\cup A_2$ so that $G\neq FA_1$, $G\neq FA_2$ for every subset $F\subset G$ of cardinality $|F|<|G|$. The first author asked whether the same is true for each group $G$…
Complete Boolean algebras proved to be an important tool in topology and set theory. Two of the most prominent examples are B(kappa), the algebra of Borel sets modulo measure zero ideal in the generalized Cantor space {0,1}^kappa equipped…
The main result of this paper is to show that, if $\kappa$ is the smallest real-valued measurable cardinal not greater than $ 2^{\aleph_0}$, then there exists a complete metric space of cardinality not greater than $ 2^{\kappa}$ admitting a…
We show that if \kappa\ is a weakly compact cardinal then the embeddability relation on (generalized) trees of size \kappa\ is invariantly universal. This means that for every analytic quasi-order R on the generalized Cantor space 2^\kappa\…
We study classes of Borel subsets of the real line $\mathbb{R}$ such as levels of the Borel hierarchy and the class of sets that are reducible to the set $\mathbb{Q}$ of rationals, endowed with the Wadge quasi-order of reducibility with…
If $X$ is an analytic metric space satisfying a very mild doubling condition, then for any finite Borel measure $\mu$ on $X$ there is a set $N\subseteq X$ such that $\mu(N)>0$, an ultrametric space $Z$ and a Lipschitz bijection $\phi:N\to…
The Kakeya conjecture is generally formulated as one the following statements: every compact/Borel/arbitrary subset of ${\mathbb R}^n$ that contains a (unit) line segment in every direction has Hausdorff dimension $n$; or, sometimes, that…
Given a nonempty set $\mathcal{L}$ of linear orders, we say that the linear order $L$ is $\mathcal{L}$-convex embeddable into the linear order $L'$ if it is possible to partition $L$ into convex sets indexed by some element of $\mathcal{L}$…
We extend the theory of infinite-exponent partition relations to arbitrary linear order types, with a particular focus on the real number line. We give a complete classification of all consistent partition relations on the real line with…
This is a slightly corrected version of an old work. For a cardinal $\mu$ we give a sufficient condition $\oplus_\mu$ (involving ranks measuring existence of independent sets) for: $\otimes_\mu$ if a Borel set $B\subseteq \mathbb{R} \times…
A special case of an elegant result due to Anderson proves that the number of $(s,s+1)$-core partitions is finite and is given by the Catalan number $C_s$. Amdeberhan recently conjectured that the number of $(s,s+1)$-core partitions into…
We prove new bounds on the dimensions of distance sets and pinned distance sets of planar sets. Among other results, we show that if $A\subset\mathbb{R}^2$ is a Borel set of Hausdorff dimension $s>1$, then its distance set has Hausdorff…
Jech proved that every partially ordered set can be embedded into the cardinals of some model of $ZF$. We extend this result to show that every partially ordered set can be embedded into the cardinals of some model of $ZF+DC_{<\kappa}$ for…
Assume that there is no quasi-measurable cardinal smaller than $2^\omega$. ($\kappa$ is quasi measurable if there exists $\kappa $-additive ideal $\ci $ of subsets of $\kappa $ such that the Boolean algebra $P(\kappa)/\ci$ satisfies c.c.c.)…
We generalise the results by Bigorajska and Kotlarski about partitioning $\alpha$-large sets, by extending the domain up to ordinals below $\varepsilon_{\omega}$. These results will be very useful to give a miniaturisation of the infinite…
An open set U of the real numbers R is produced such that the expansion (R,+,x,U) of the real field by U defines a Borel isomorph of (R,+,x,N) but does not define N. It follows that (R,+,x,U) defines sets in every level of the projective…
We show that if $\mathbb{R} = A \cup B$ is a partition of $\mathbb{R}$ into two suborders $A$ and $B$, then there is an open interval $I$ such that $A \cap I$ is not order-isomorphic to $B \cap I$. The proof depends on the completeness of…
We address the question of whether a reflecting stationary set may be partitioned into two or more reflecting stationary subsets, providing various affirmative answers in ZFC. As an application to singular cardinals combinatorics, we infer…
