Our goal is to study the pseudo-intersection and tower numbers on uncountable regular cardinals, whether these two cardinal characteristics are necessarily equal, and related problems on the existence of gaps. First, we prove that either…

For a Tychonoff space $X$, we will denote by $USC_{p}(X)$ ($B_1(X)$) a set of all real-valued upper semicontinuous functions (a set of all Baire functions of class 1) defined on $X$ endowed with the pointwise convergence topology. In this…

In our paper [18] we showed that a Tychonoff space $X$ is a $\Delta$-space (in the sense of [20], [30]) if and only if the locally convex space $C_{p}(X)$ is distinguished. Continuing this research, we investigate whether the class $\Delta$…

It is proved in this paper that to every underdetermined linear system $Ax=b$ there corresponds a constant $p(A,b)>0$ such that every solution to the $l_p$-norm minimization problem also solves the $l_0$-norm minimization problem whenever…

We give an example of an infinite metrizable space $X$ such that the space $C_p(X)$, of continuous real-valued function on $X$ endowed with the pointwise topology, is not homeomorphic to its own square $C_p(X)\times C_p(X)$. The space $X$…

We extend the Daugavet property and a perfect version of it to transfinite cardinals in order to distinguish between spaces with the ordinary Daugavet property by some kind of complexity (topological, density\ldots), providing a number of…

We introduce the dynamic comparison property for minimal dynamical systems which has applications to the study of crossed product C*-algebras. We demonstrate that this property holds for a large class of systems which includes all examples…

We investigate the behavior of cardinal characteristics of the reals under extensions that do not add new ${<}\kappa$-sequences (for some regular $\kappa$). As an application, we show that consistently the following cardinal characteristics…

We study the question of when an uncountable ccc topological space $X$ contains a ccc subspace of size $\aleph_1$. We show that it does if $X$ is compact Hausdorff and more generally if $X$ is Hausdorff with $\mathrm{pct}(X) \leq \aleph_1$.…

A classical theorem of Hurewicz characterizes spaces with the Hurewicz covering property as those having bounded continuous images in the Baire space. We give a similar characterization for spaces X which have the Hurewicz property…

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…

We introduce a new point of view towards Glaeser's theorem on composite $C^\infty$ functions [Ann. of Math. 1963], with respect to which we can formulate a ``$C^k$ composite function property" that is satisfied by all semiproper real…

We prove an analogue of the classical Bernstein theorem concerning the rate of polynomial approximation of piecewise analytic functions on a compact subset of the real line.

Baez asks whether the Euler characteristic (defined for spaces with finite homology) can be reconciled with the homotopy cardinality (defined for spaces with finite homotopy). We consider the smallest infinity category…

A simple generalization of the Hall's condition in bipartite graphs, the Normalized Matching Property (NMP) in a graph $G(X,Y,E)$ with vertex partition $(X,Y)$ states that for any subset $S\subseteq X$, we have…

We study the norm of point evaluation at the origin in the Paley--Wiener space $PW^p$ for $0 < p < \infty$, i. e., we search for the smallest positive constant $C$, called $\mathscr{C}_p$, such that the inequality $|f(0)|^p \leq C…

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.

We study test sets: subfamilies of sequences converging to a point P that still suffice to detect every discontinuity of real-valued functions at P. Ordered by inclusion, these test sets form a poset. Under natural hypotheses at P, we prove…

In generalized Lebesgue spaces L^{p(.)} with variable exponent p(.) defined on the real axis, we obtain several inequalities of approximation by integral functions of finite degree. Approximation properties of Bernstein singular integrals…

Let $X(\RR)$ be a geometrically connected variety defined over $\RR$ and such that the set of all its (also complex) points $X(\CC)$ is non-degenerate. We introduce the notion of \emph{admissible rank} of a point $P$ with respect to $X$ to…
