We show that it is consistent that the continuum is as large as you wish, and for each uncountable cardinal $\kappa$ below the continuum, there are a subset $T$ of the reals and a family $A$ of countable subsets of $T$ such that (1) both…

In this paper, we shall study categorial properties of the hyperspace of all nontrivial convergent sequences $\mathcal{S}_c(X)$ of a Fre\'ech-Urysohn space $X$, this hyperspace is equipped with the Vietoris topology. We mainly prove that…

All spaces are assumed to be Tychonoff. Given a realcompact space $X$, we denote by $\mathsf{Exp}(X)$ the smallest infinite cardinal $\kappa$ such that $X$ is homeomorphic to a closed subspace of $\mathbb{R}^\kappa$. Our main result shows…

We prove that, unless assuming additional set theoretical axioms, there are no reflexive space without unconditional sequences of density the continuum. We give for every integer $n$ there are normalized weakly-null sequences of length…

We show that the $k$-nearest neighbour learning rule is universally consistent in a metric space $X$ if and only if it is universally consistent in every separable subspace of $X$ and the density of $X$ is less than every real-measurable…

Using weaker versions of the cardinal function $\psi_c(X)$, we derive a series of new bounds for the cardinality of Hausdorff spaces and regular spaces that do not involve $\psi_c(X)$ nor its variants at all. For example, we show if $X$ is…

We prove that, for every cardinal number $\alpha\geq {\mathfrak c}$, there exists a metrizable space $X$ with $|X|=\alpha$ such that for every pair of quasiorders $\leq_1$, $\leq_2$ on a set $Q$ with $|Q| \leq \alpha$ satisfying the…

Let $\kappa$ be an uncountable cardinal with $\kappa=\kappa^{{<}\kappa}$. Given a cardinal $\mu$, we equip the set ${}^\kappa\mu$ consisting of all functions from $\kappa$ to $\mu$ with the topology whose basic open sets consist of all…

We prove that any definable family of subsets of a definable infinite set $A$ in an o-minimal structure has cardinality at most $|A|$. We derive some consequences in terms of counting definable types and existence of definable topological…

It is shown that the Schreier space X admits a set of continuum cardinality whose elements are mutually incomparable complemented subspaces spanned by subsequences of the natural Schauder basis of X.

Let X be a compact convex set and let ext X stand for the set of extreme points of X. We show that an affine function with the point of continuity property on X satisfies the minimum principle. As a corollary we obtain a generalization of a…

The paper establishes several inequalities between cardinal characteristics of the continuum. In particular, it is shown that the partition splitting number is not larger than the uniformity of the meagre ideal; not all sets of reals having…

The famous Erdos-Heilbronn conjecture plays an important role in the development of additive combinatorics. In 2007 Z. W. Sun made the following further conjecture (which is the linear extension of the Erdos-Heilbronn conjecture): For any…

We lower substantially the strength of the assumptions needed for the validity of certain results in category theory and homotopy theory which were known to follow from Vopenka's principle. We prove that the necessary large-cardinal…

In 1967 Hajnal and Juh{\'a}sz showed that the cardinality of a first-countable Hausdorff space with the countable chain condition has cardinality at most $\mathfrak{c}$, the cardinality of the real line. We give an improvement of this…

The topology of a separable metrizable space $M$ is \emph{generated} by a family $\mathcal{C}$ of its subsets provided that a set $A\subseteq M$ is closed in $M$ if and only if $A\cap C$ is closed in $C$ for each $C\in \mathcal{C}$. The…

By classical results of Hurewicz, Kechris and Saint-Raymond, an analytic subset of a Polish space $X$ is covered by a $K_\sigma$ subset of $X$ if and only if it does not contain a closed-in-$X$ subset homeomorphic to the Baire space…

We prove that every separable Banach space has a barrelled subspace with algebraic dimension $\mathrm{non}(\mathcal M)$, which denotes the smallest cardinality of a non-meager subset of $\mathbb R$. This strengthens a theorem of Sobota.…

For $B \subseteq \mathbb F_q^m$, the $n$-th affine extremal number of $B$ is the maximum cardinality of a set $A \subseteq \mathbb F_q^n$ with no subset which is affinely isomorphic to $B$. Furstenberg and Katznelson proved that for any $B…

We introduce the property ``$F$-linked'' of subsets of posets for a given free filter $F$ on the natural numbers, and define the properties ``$\mu$-$F$-linked'' and ``$\theta$-$F$-Knaster'' for posets in a natural way. We show that…
