Frankl's union-closed sets conjecture states that in every finite union-closed set of sets, there is an element that is contained in at least half of the member-sets (provided there are at least two members). The conjecture has an…

We give a complete characterization of the size of Borel sets that are mid-point convex but not (essentially) convex, in terms of their Hausdorff dimensions and Hausdorff measures.

Sets satisfying Central sets theorem and other Ramsey theoretic large sets were studied extensively in literature. Hindman and Strauss proved that product of some of these large sets is again large. In this paper we show that if we take two…

Let S1(Gamma,Gamma) be the statement: For each sequence of point-cofinite open covers, one can pick one element from each cover and obtain a point-cofinite cover. b is the minimal cardinality of a set of reals not satisfying…

We consider convex sets and functions over idempotent semifields, like the max-plus semifield. We show that if $K$ is a conditionally complete idempotent semifield, with completion $\bar{K}$, a convex function $K^n\to\bar{K}$ which is lower…

We mainly investigate model of set theory with restricted choice, e.g., ZF + DC + "the family of countable subsets of lambda is well ordered for every lambda" (really local version for a given lambda). In this frame much of pcf theory can…

The Frankl's conjecture, formulated in 1979. and still open, states that in every family of sets closed for unions there is an element contained in at least half of the sets. A family Fc is called Frankl-complete (or FC-family) if in every…

Let ${\mathfrak M}=({\mathcal M},\rho)$ be a metric space and let $X$ be a Banach space. Let $F$ be a set-valued mapping from ${\mathcal M}$ into the family ${\mathcal K}_m(X)$ of all compact convex subsets of $X$ of dimension at most $m$.…

This paper introduces a new subtraction operation for convex sets, which defines their difference as a collection of inclusion-minimal convex sets with appropriate definitions of linear operations on them. With these operations the set of…

If $\rho$ is a binary relation on a set $X$, the structure ${\mathbb X}=\langle X,\rho\rangle$ is connected iff the minimal equivalence relation containing $\rho$ is the full relation on $X$. We show that, for a set $I$ the following…

We call a finite, spanning set of a semi-simple real Lie algebra a distinguished set if it satisfies the following property: The Lie bracket of any two elements out of the set is, up to some constant, another element in the set; conversely,…

Let $\mathcal C$ be a class of topological semigroups. A semigroup $X$ is called (1) $\mathcal C$-$closed$ if $X$ is closed in every topological semigroup $Y\in\mathcal C$ containing $X$ as a discrete subsemigroup, (2) $ideally$ $\mathcal…

We investigate an extension of ZFC set theory (in an extended language) that stipulates the existence of a proper class of indiscernibles over the universe. One of the main results of the paper shows that the purely set-theoretical…

The Union-Closed Sets Conjecture, also known as Frankl's conjecture, asks whether, for any union-closed set family $\mathcal{F}$ with $m$ sets, there is an element that lies in at least $\frac{1}{2}\cdot m$ sets in $\mathcal{F}$. In 2022,…

The notion of a shift-compact set in an abelian topological group $X$ plays a significant role in functional equations and inequalities, especially so since each Borel set that is not Haar-meagre, alternatively not Haar-null, is necessarily…

This paper develops a rich theory of cardinality in the paraconsistent and paracomplete set theory $\mathrm{BZFC}$, where sets can be inconsistent ($A$ such that ``$x\in A$'' is both true and false for some $x$) or incomplete ($A$ such that…

Let $X$ be a Banach space. We study the circumstances under which there exists an uncountable set $\mathcal A\subset X$ of unit vectors such that $\|x-y\|>1$ for distinct $x,y\in \mathcal A$. We prove that such a set exists if $X$ is…

Given a family $\mathcal F$ of $k$-element sets, $S_1,\ldots,S_r\in\mathcal F$ form an {\em $r$-sunflower} if $S_i \cap S_j =S_{i'} \cap S_{j'}$ for all $i \neq j$ and $i' \neq j'$. According to a famous conjecture of Erd\H os and Rado…

We give a construction under $CH$ of a non-metrizable compact Hausdorff space $K$ such that any uncountable semi-biorthogonal sequence in $C(K)$ must be of a very specific kind. The space $K$ has many nice properties, such as being…

Let $X$ be a compact metric space and let $|A|$ denote the cardinality of a set $A$. We prove that if $f\colon X\to X$ is a homeomorphism and $|X|=\infty$ then for all $\delta>0$ there is $A\subset X$ such that $|A|=4$ and for all $k\in Z$…
