The following is consistent: There is a stationary set S such that every Aronszajn tree is S-*-special and there is an Aronszajn tree T such that for every unbounded E we have T is not E-special. This answers a question of Shelah (Proper…

The class of mixed Tsirelson spaces is an important source of examples in the recent development of the structure theory of Banach spaces. The related class of modified mixed Tsirelson spaces has also been well studied. In the present…

We prove that if an analytic subset $A$ of a linear metric space $X$ is not contained in a $\sigma Z_\omega$-subset of $X$ then for every Polish convex set $K$ with dense affine hull in $X$ the sum $A+K$ is non-meager in $X$ and the sets…

In this paper, we study the existence of infinite dimensional closed linear subspaces of a rearrangement invariant space on [0,1] every nonzero element of which does not belong to any included rearrangement invariant space of the same class…

Following [2], a Tychonoff space $X$ is Ascoli if every compact subset of $C_k(X)$ is equicontinuous. By the classical Ascoli theorem every $k$-space is Ascoli. We show that a strict $(LF)$-space $E$ is Ascoli iff $E$ is a Fr\'{e}chet space…

A forcing poset of size 2^{2^{aleph_1}} which adds no new reals is described and shown to provide a Delta^2_2 definable well-order of the reals (in fact, any given relation of the reals may be so encoded in some generic extension). The…

We characterize $Q$-dimensional Ahlfors regular spaces among trees' boundaries and show how to construct, for each $0 < \alpha < Q$, an $\alpha$-regular subspace. As an application, we give an alternative simple proof of the existence of…

We prove that it is relatively consistent with ZFC that in any perfect Polish space, for every nonmeager set A there exists a nowhere dense Cantor set C such that A intersect C is nonmeager in C. We also examine variants of this result and…

We consider a transitive relation on the power set of $\omega_1$ and show if there is a maximal element with respect to this relation then there is a Kurepa tree with no Aronszajn subtree. We also show that if there is a maximal subset of…

We investigate the configuration space of the Delta-Manipulator, identify 24 points in the configuration space, where the Jacobian of the Constraint Equations looses rank and show, that these are not manifold points of the Real Algebraic…

We introduce the notion of a strong L-space, a closed, oriented rational homology 3-sphere whose Heegaard Floer homology can be determined at the chain level. We prove that the fundamental group of a strong L-space is not left-orderable.…

Let $L(X)$ be the free locally convex space over a Tychonoff space $X$. We show that the following assertions are equivalent: (i) $L(X)$ is $\ell_\infty$-barrelled, (ii) $L(X)$ is $\ell_\infty$-quasibarrelled, (iii) $L(X)$ is…

A $P$-space is a topological space whose every $G_{\delta}$-set is open. In this article, basic properties of $P$-spaces are investigated in the absence of the Axiom of Choice. New weaker forms of the Axiom of Choice, all relevant to…

We define a class of L-convex-concave subsets of $\Bbb{R}P^n$, where L is a projective subspace of dimension l in $\Bbb{R}P^n$. These are sets whose sections by any (l+1)-dimensional space L' containing L are convex and concavely depend on…

Let $CLB_H(X)$ denote the hyperspace of closed bounded subsets of a metric space $X$, endowed with the Hausdorff metric topology. We prove, among others, that natural dense subspaces of $CLB_H(R^m)$ of all nowhere dense closed sets, of all…

Metrizable spaces are studied in which every closed set is an $\alpha$-limit set for some continuous map and some point. It is shown that this property is enjoyed by every space containing sufficiently many arcs (formalized in the notion of…

In the absence of the axiom of choice, the set-theoretic status of many natural statements about metrizable compact spaces is investigated. Some of the statements are provable in $\mathbf{ZF}$, some are shown to be independent of…

An inverse limit of a sequence of covering spaces over a given space $X$ is not, in general, a covering space over $X$ but is still a lifting space, i.e. a Hurewicz fibration with unique path lifting property. Of particular interest are…

In this article, we investigate the existence of closed vector subspaces (i.e.spaceability) in various nonlinear subsets of Orlicz-Lorentz spaces $\Lambda_{\varphi,w}$, equipped with the Luxemburg norm. If a family of Orlicz functions…

In the paper an answer to a problem "When different orders of R(X) (where R is a real closed field) lead to the same real place ?" is given. We use this result to show that the space of $\mathbb R$-places of the field $\textbf{R}(Y)$ (where…
