It is well known that if the nonempty player of the Banach-Mazur game has a winning strategy on a space, then that space is Baire in all powers even in the box topology. The converse of this implication may be true also: We know of no…
With the help of semi-neighborhoods of the diagonal, classes of Baire spaces are defined: $\Delta$, $\Delta_h$ and $\Delta_s$ Baire spaces. These classes of spaces are studied with the help of topological games. They are useful in studying…
We give topological and game theoretic definitions and theorems nec- essary for defining a Banach-Mazur game, and apply these definitions to formalize the game. We then state and prove two theorems which give necessary conditions for…
We discuss a variant of the Banach-Mazur game which has applications to topological open mapping and closed graph theorems.
Infinite games (in the form of Gale-Stewart games) are studied where a play is a sequence of natural numbers chosen by two players in alternation, the winning condition being a subset of the Baire space $\omega^\omega$. We consider such…
This paper deals with different concepts for characterizing the size of mathematical objects. A game theoretic investigation and generalization of two size concepts, which can both be formulated in topological terms, is provided: the so…
We define $\Delta$-Baire spaces. If a paratopological group $G$ is $\Delta$-Baire space, then $G$ is a topological group. Locally pseudocompact spaces, Baire $p$-spaces, Baire $\Sigma$-spaces, products of \v{C}ech-complete spaces are…
The classical Banach-Mazur game is directly related to the Baire property and the property of being a productively Baire space. In this paper, we discuss two variations of this classic game that are even more related to these properties.
In this paper, we first establish some equivalent formulations of non-Baire sets in category bases. We then introduce the notion of an uniform non-Baire family of sets and show that there is an uniform non-Baire family inducing a…
Matthew Baker investigated, in previous work, an elegant, infinite-length game that may be used to study subsets of real numbers. We present two accessible examples of how an important technique from set theory, or a different technique…
We present a version of the Banach-Mazur game, where open sets are replaced by elements of a fixed partially ordered set. We show how to apply it in the theory of Fraisse limits and beyond, obtaining simple proofs of universality of certain…
We present a general way of defining various reduction games on \omega\ which "represent" corresponding topologically defined classes of functions. In particular, we will show how to construct games for piecewise defined functions, for…
We present a simple and natural infinite game building an increasing chain of finite-dimensional Banach spaces. We show that one of the players has a strategy with the property that, no matter how the other player plays, the completion of…
We study the abstract Banach-Mazur game played with finitely generated structures instead of open sets. We characterize the existence of winning strategies aiming at a single countably generated structure. We also introduce the concept of…
Two-player stochastic games are games with two 2 players and a randomised entity called "nature". A natural question to ask in this framework is the existence of strategies that ensure that an event happens with probability 1 (almost-sure…
Topological Ramsey theory studies a class of combinatorial topological spaces, known as topological Ramsey spaces, unifying the essential features of those combinatorial frames where the Ramsey property is equivalent to the Baire property.…
The classical Banach-Mazur game characterizes sets of first category in a topological space. In this work, we show that an effectivized version of the game yields a characterization of sets of effective first category. Using this, we give a…
Pursuing a new approach to the study of infinite games in combinatorics, we introduce the categories $\mathbf{Game}_{A}$ and $\mathbf{Game}_{B}$ and improve some classical results concerning topological games related to the duality between…
Duparc introduced a two-player game for a function $f$ between zero-dimensional Polish spaces in which Player II has a winning strategy iff $f$ is of Baire class 1. We generalize this result by defining a game for an arbitrary function $f :…
We study generalized games defined over Banach spaces using variational analysis. To reformulate generalized games as quasi-variational inequality problems, we will first form a suitable principal operator and study some significant…
