$\Delta$-spaces have been defined by a natural generalization of a classical notion of $\Delta$-sets of reals to Tychonoff topological spaces; moreover, the class $\Delta$ of all $\Delta$-spaces consists precisely of those $X$ for which the…
We show that the subsemigroup of the product of w_1-many circles generated by the L-space constructed by J. Moore is again an L-space. This leads to a new example of a Lindelof topological group. The question whether all finite powers of…
The results in this paper answer three questions asked by (NOBLE, 2019) and give a partial answer to a question asked by (ALSTER, 1988). We prove that every Alster space is totally Lindelof and this gives a new characterization of regular…
I survey problems concerning Lindelof spaces which have partial set- theoretic solutions.
We obtain several results and examples concerning the general question ``When must a space with a small diagonal have a G_delta-diagonal?". In particular, we show (1) every compact metrizably fibered space with a small diagonal is…
We prove the consistency of the existence of a $Q$-set whose square is not a $\Delta$-set and that if there is a $\Delta$-set, then there exists a $\Delta$-set whose all finite powers are $\Delta$-sets.
This article examines Hilbert spaces constructed from sets whose existence is incompatible with the Countable Axiom of Choice (CC). Our point of view is twofold: (1) We examine what can and cannot be said about Hilbert spaces and operators…
There is a locally compact Hausdorff space of weight aleph_omega which is linearly Lindelof and not Lindelof. This improves an earlier result, which produced such a space of weight beth_omega.
We prove that the existence of Banach spaces with $L$-orthogonal sequences but without $L$-orthogonal elements is independent of the standard foundation of Mathematics, ZFC. This provides a definitive answer to…
This paper addresses several questions of Feng, Gruenhage, and Shen which arose from Michael's theory of continuous selections from countable spaces. We construct an example of a space which is $L$-selective but not $\mathbb{Q}$-selective…
We construct in ZFC an L topological vector space -- a topological vector space that is an L space -- and an L field -- a topological field that is an L space. This generalizes results in [5] and [8].
A topological space has a domain model if it is homeomorphic to the maximal point space $\mbox{Max}(P)$ of a domain $P$. Lawson proved that every Polish space $X$ has an $\omega$-domain model $P$ and for such a model $P$, $\mbox{Max}(P)$ is…
Menger's conjecture that Menger spaces are /sigma-compact is false; it is true for analytic subspaces of Polish spaces and undecidable for more complex definable subspaces of Polish spaces. For non-metrizable spaces, analytic Menger spaces…
We consider a new class of open covers and classes of spaces defined from them, called "iota spaces". We explore their relationship with epsilon-spaces (that is, spaces having all finite powers Lindelof) and countable network weight. An…
In this paper I will construct a non-separable hereditarily Lindelof space (L space) without any additional axiomatic assumptions. I will also show that there is a function f from [omega_1]^2 to omega_1 such that if A,B, subsets of omega_1,…
The aim of this paper is to provide the results that answer the Kuratowski problem posed in 1935 concerning the existence of nonmeasurable sets. The Kuratowski problem was considered for partitions, here we provide a generalization to…
We discuss renorming properties of the dual of a James tree space JT. We present examples of weakly Lindelof determined JT such that JT* admits neither strictly convex nor Kadec renorming and of weakly compactly generated JT such that JT*…
A Q-set is an uncountable set of reals all of whose subsets are relative $G_\delta$ sets. We prove that, for an arbitrary uncountable cardinal kappa, there is consistently a Q-set of size $\kappa$ whose square is not Q. This answers a…
We determine all the Q-fundamental surfaces in $(p,1)$-lens spaces and $(p,2)$-lens spaces with respect to natural triangulations with $p$ tetrahedra. For general $(p,q)$-lens spaces, we give an upper bound for elements of vectors which…
We compute the Lipschitz-free spaces of subsets of the real line and characterize subsets of metric trees by the fact that their Lipschitz-free space is isometric to a subspace of $L_1$.
