We solve a long standing question due to Arhangel'skii by constructing a compact space which has a $G_\delta$ cover with no continuum-sized ($G_\delta$)-dense subcollection. We also prove that in a countably compact weakly Lindel\"of normal…
We determine the large cardinal consistency strength of the existence of a $\lambda$-supercompact cardinal $\kappa$ such that GCH fails at $\lambda$. Indeed, we show that the existence of a $\lambda$-supercompact cardinal $\kappa$ such that…
It is shown that CH implies the existence of a compact Hausdorff space that is countable dense homogeneous, crowded and does not contain topological copies of the Cantor set. This contrasts with a previous result by the author which says…
We consider the following variation of the Scarborough-Stone problem: Is $X^\kappa$ always countably compact whenever $X$ is separable and sequentially compact?
We prove from suitable large cardinal hypotheses that the least weakly compact cardinal can be unfoldable, weakly measurable and even nearly $\theta$-supercompact, for any desired $\theta$. In addition, we prove several global results…
We call a pair of infinite cardinals $(\kappa,\lambda)$ with $\kappa > \lambda$ a dominating (resp. pinning down) pair for a topological space $X$ if for every subset $A$ of $X$ (resp. family $\mathcal{U}$ of non-empty open sets in $X$) of…
In this paper we consider the question of when the space $C_p(X)$ of continuous real-valued functions on $X$ with the pointwise convergence topology is countable dense homogeneous. In particular, we focus on the case when $X$ is countable…
A uniform space is said to be non-Archimedean if it is generated by equivalence relations. If $\lambda$ is a cardinal, then a non-Archimedean uniform space $(X,\mathcal{U})$ is $\lambda$-totally bounded if each equivalence relation in…
An inaccessible cardinal kappa is supercompact when (kappa, lambda)-ITP holds for all lambda greater than or equal to kappa. We prove that if there is a model of ZFC with infinitely many supercompact cardinals, then there is a model of ZFC…
A usual dichotomy is that in many cases, reasonably definable sets, satisfy the CH, i.e. if they are uncountable they have cardinality continuum. A strong dichotomy is when: if the cardinality is infinite it is continuum as in [Sh:273]. We…
In this paper we develop a technique of constructing uni- formly continuous maps between function spaces Cp(X) endowed with the pointwise topology. We prove that if a space X is compact metrizable and strongly countable-dimensional, then…
We prove that for lambda = beta_omega or just lambda strong limit singular of cofinality aleph_0, if there is a universal member in the class K^lf_lambda of locally finite groups of cardinality lambda, then there is a canonical one…
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…
From a suitable large cardinal hypothesis, we provide a model with a supercompact cardinal in which universal indestructibility holds: every supercompact and partially supercompact cardinal kappa is fully indestructible by kappa-directed…
We prove that the locally convex space $C_{p}(X)$ of continuous real-valued functions on a Tychonoff space $X$ equipped with the topology of pointwise convergence is distinguished if and only if $X$ is a $\Delta$-space in the sense of \cite…
For a metrizable space $X$ of density $\kappa$, let $PM(X)$ be the space of continuous bounded pseudometrics on $X$ endowed with the uniform convergence topology. In this paper, its topology shall be classified as follows: (i) If $X$ is…
In this paper we analyze the connection between some properties of partially strongly compact cardinals: the completion of filters of certain size and instances of the compactness of $\mathcal{L}_{\kappa,\kappa}$. Using this equivalence we…
In the first part of this paper, we explore the possibility for a very large cardinal $\kappa$ to carry a $\kappa$-complete ultrafilter without Galvin's property. In this context, we prove the consistency of every ground model…
The weak tightness $wt(X)$ of a space $X$ was introduced in [11] with the property $wt(X)\leq t(X)$. We investigate several well-known results concerning $t(X)$ and consider whether they extend to the weak tightness setting. First we give…
In this note we answer the following question of Grinblat: Is it consistent that for some set X, cov(NULL restriction X)=lambda is a weakly inaccessible cardinal (so X not null of course) while cov(meagre) is small, say it is aleph_1.
