In a paper by Bella, Tokg\"os and Zdomskyy it is asked whether there exists a Tychonoff space $X$ such that the remainder of $C_p(X)$ in some compactification is Menger but not $\sigma$-compact. In this paper we prove that it is consistent…

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.

A nearby star having a near-transit of a galaxy will cause a time-dependent weak lensing of the galaxy. Because the effect is small, we refer to this as weak microlensing. This could provide a useful method to weigh low-mass stars and brown…

For $\kappa$ a cardinal, a space $X=(X,\sT)$ is $\kappa$-{\it resolvable} if $X$ admits $\kappa$-many pairwise disjoint $\sT$-dense subsets; $(X,\sT)$ is {\it exactly} $\kappa$-{\it resolvable} if it is $\kappa$-resolvable but not…

Let $|\cdot|$ be the standard Euclidean norm on $\mathbb{R}^n$ and let $X=(\mathbb{R}^n,\|\cdot\|)$ be a normed space. A subspace $Y\subset X$ is \emph{strongly $\alpha$-Euclidean} if there is a constant $t$ such that…

We prove that a component of the closure of the set of star points on a hypersurface X of degree d>2 in N-dimensional projective space is linear. Afterwards, we focus on the case where the component is of maximal dimension N-2 and the case…

A space X is kappa-resolvable (resp. almost kappa-resolvable) if it contains kappa dense sets that are pairwise disjoint (resp. almost disjoint over the ideal of nowhere dense subsets of X). Answering a problem raised by Juhasz, Soukup, and…

Generalizations of the theorems of Eberlein and Grothendieck on the precompactness of subsets of function spaces are considered: if $X$ is a countably compact space and $C_p(X)$ is a space of continuous functions in the pointwise topology…

A topological space $X$ is $strongly$ $rigid$ if each non-constant continuous map $f:X\to X$ is the identity map of $X$. A Hausdorff topological space $X$ is called $Brown$ if for any nonempty open sets $U,V\subseteq X$ the intersection…

We find an optimal upper bound on the values of the weak$^*$-dentability index $Dz(X)$ in terms of the Szlenk index $Sz(X)$ of a Banach space $X$ with separable dual. Namely, if $\;Sz(X)=\omega^{\alpha}$, for some $\alpha<\omega_1$, and…

A space $Y$ is called an {\em extension} of a space $X$ if $Y$ contains $X$ as a dense subspace. Two extensions of $X$ are said to be {\em equivalent} if there is a homeomorphism between them which fixes $X$ point-wise. For two (equivalence…

A strong generalized topological space is an ordered pair $\mathbf{X}=\langle X, \mathcal{T}\rangle$ such that $X$ is a set and $\mathcal{T}$ is a collection of subsets of $X$ such that $\emptyset, X\in \mathcal{T}$ and $\mathcal{T}$ is…

We prove that, for any Hausdorff continuum X, if dim X > 1 then the hyperspace C(X) of subcontinua of X is not a C-space; if dim X = 1 and X is hereditarily indecomposable then dim C(X) = 2 or C(X) is not a C-space. This generalizes results…

Given a finite point set $P$ in ${\mathbb R}^d$, and $\epsilon>0$ we say that $N\subseteq{ \mathbb R}^d$ is a weak $\epsilon$-net if it pierces every convex set $K$ with $|K\cap P|\geq \epsilon |P|$. We show that for any finite point set in…

An open chain cover $\{U_\alpha : \alpha\in\kappa\}$ ($\kappa$ a cardinal) of a space $X$ is a systematic cover if the closure of $U_\alpha$ is contained in $U_\beta$ when $\alpha<\beta$, and $X$ is Type I if $\kappa=\omega_1$ and the…

We call a nonempty subset $A$ of a topological space $X$ finitely non-Urysohn if for every nonempty finite subset $F$ of $A$ and every family $\{U_x:x\in F\}$ of open neighborhoods $U_x$ of $x\in F$, $\cap\{\mathrm{cl}(U_x):x\in…

We prove that a function $f:X\to Y$ from a first-countable (more generally, Preiss-Simon) space $X$ to a regular space $Y$ is weakly discontinuous (which means that every subspace $A\subset X$ contains an open dense subset $U\subset A$ such…

In this paper, it is shown that a weakly non-decreasable dilatation in an infinitesimal Teichm\"uller equivalence class can be not a non-decreasable one. As an application, we prove that if an infinitesimal equivalence class contains more…

In this paper we consider some recent relative versions of Menger property called set strongly star Menger and set star Menger properties and the corresponding Hurewicz-type properties. In particular, using \cite {BMae}, we "easily" prove…

We prove that any weakly non-collapsed RCD space is actually non-collapsed, up to a renormalization of the measure. This confirms a conjecture raised by De Philippis and the second named author in full generality. One of the auxiliary…
