We study diagonalizations of covers using various selection principles, where the covers are related to linear quasiorderings (tau-covers). This includes: equivalences and nonequivalences, combinatorial characterizations, critical…
In a previous work with Mildenberger and Shelah, we showed that the combinatorics of the selection hypotheses involving tau-covers is sensitive to the selection operator used. We introduce a natural generalization of Scheepers' selection…
We isolate a new class of ultrafilters on N, called "quasi-selective" because they are intermediate between selective ultrafilters and P-points. (Under the Continuum Hypothesis these three classes are distinct.) The existence of…
We address the question of the consistency strength of certain filters and ultrafilters which fail to satisfy the Galvin property. We answer questions \cite[Questions 7.8,7.9]{TomMotiII}, \cite[Question 5]{NegGalSing} and improve theorem…
A set X which is a subset of the Cantor set has property (s) (Marczewski (Spzilrajn)) iff for every perfect set P there exists a perfect set Q contained in P such that Q is a subset of X or Q is disjoint from X. Suppose U is a nonprincipal…
We characterize ultrafilter convergence and ultrafilter compactness in linearly ordered and generalized ordered topological spaces. In such spaces, and for every ultrafilter $D$, the notions of $D$-compactness and of $D$-pseudocompactness…
Let ${\mathcal A}\subset {\mathcal P}(X)$, $\emptyset, X\in {\mathcal A}$, ${\mathcal A}$ being closed under finite intersections. If $\psi={o},\omega,\gamma$, then $\Psi({\mathcal A})$ is the family of those $\psi$-covers ${\mathcal U}$…
We introduce a general notion of covering property, of which many classical definitions are particular instances. Notions of closure under various sorts of convergence, or, more generally, under taking kinds of accumulation points, are…
We survey some recent results about the order structure of various kinds of ultrafilters. More precisely, we study Rudin-Keisler and Tukey reducibility in classes of selective, stable ordered-union, and P-point ultrafilters. Although these…
We review some selected recent results concerning selection principles in topology and their relations with several topological constructions.
We find many conditions equivalent to the model-theoretical property $\lambda \stackrel{\kappa}{\Rightarrow} \mu$ introduced in [L1]. Our conditions involve uniformity of ultrafilters, compactness properties of products of topological…
We solve four out of the six open problems concerning critical cardinalities of topological diagonalization properties involving tau-covers, show that the remaining two cardinals are equal, and give a consistency result concerning this…
We investigate the structure of the Tukey types of ultrafilters on countable sets partially ordered by reverse inclusion. A canonization of cofinal maps from a p-point into another ultrafilter is obtained. This is used in particular to…
Misprints in the definition of semiclassical tau-function and in the formulae (3.40b) and (4.20) are corrected.
We study completeness of a topological vector space with respect to different filters on the set N of all naturals. In the metrizable case all these kinds of completeness are the same, but in non-metrizable case the situation changes. For…
In earlier work of the second and third author the equivalence of a finite square principle square^fin_{lambda,D} with various model theoretic properties of structures of size lambda and regular ultrafilters was established. In this paper…
The ultrafilters on the partial order $([\omega]^{\omega},\subseteq^*)$ are the free ultrafilters on $\omega$, which constitute the space $\omega^*$, the Stone-Cech remainder of $\omega$. If $U$ is an upperset of this partial order (i.e., a…
In the first part of this paper, we show that the assertion "T_pH_k(X,Q)=G_pH_k(X,Q)" (which is called the Friedlander-Mazur conjecture) is a birationally invariant statement for smooth projective varieties X when p=dim(X)-2 and when p=1.…
We discuss the existence of complete accumulation points of sequences in products of topological spaces. Then we collect and generalize many of the results proved in Parts I, II and IV. The present Part VI is complementary to Part V to the…
We develop the theory of cofinal types of ultrafilters over measurable cardinals and establish its connections to Galvin's property. We generalize fundamental results from the countable to the uncountable, but often in surprisingly…
