A proof that the set of real numbers is denumerable is given.

We prove that it is consistent with large values of the continuum that there are no S-spaces. We also show that we can also have that compact separable spaces of countable tightness have cardinality at most the continuum.

Each series $\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n$ of real positive terms gives rise to a topology on $\mathbb{N} = \{1,2,3,...\}$ by declaring a proper subset $A\subseteq \mathbb{N}$ to be closed if $\sum_{n\in A} a_n < \infty$. We explore the…

For infinite cardinals $\kappa,\lambda$ let $C(\kappa,\lambda)$ denote the class of all compact Hausdorff spaces of weight $\kappa$ and size $\lambda$. So $C(\kappa,\lambda)=\emptyset$ if $\kappa>\lambda$ or $\lambda>2^\kappa$. If F is a…

In this paper, some features of countably $\alpha$-compact topological spaces are presented and proven. The connection between countably $\alpha$% -compact, Tychonoff, and $\alpha$-Hausdorff spaces is explained. The space is countably…

A denumerable cellular family of a topological space $\mathbf{X}$ is an infinitely countable collection of pairwise disjoint non-empty open sets of $ \mathbf{X}$. It is proved that the following statements are equivalent in $\mathbf{ZF}$:…

Let c=2^aleph0 denote the cardinality of the continuum and let a,b,k be infinite cardinal numbers with a<b\leq 2^a. We show that there exist precisely 2^b T0-spaces of size a and weight b up to homeomorphism. Among these non-homeomorphic…

Let $K$ be a countable field. Then $K$ is large in the sense of Pop if and only if it admits a field topology which is "generalized t-henselian" (gt-henselian) in the sense of Dittmann, Walsberg, and Ye, meaning that the implicit function…

We introduce a new covering property, defined in terms of order types of sequences of open sets, rather than in terms of cardinalities of families. The most general form of this compactness notion depends on two ordinal parameters. In the…

Two graphs are of the same topological type if they can be mutually embedded into each other topologically. We show that there are exactly $\aleph_1$ distinct topological types of countable trees. In general, for any infinite cardinal…

The empty set of course contains no computable point. On the other hand, surprising results due to Zaslavskii, Tseitin, Kreisel, and Lacombe assert the existence of NON-empty co-r.e. closed sets devoid of computable points: sets which are…

The concept of ``countable set'' is attributed to Georg Cantor, who set the boundary between countable and uncountable sets in 1874. The concept of ``computable set'' arose in the study of computing models in the 1930s by the founders of…

For every uncountable cardinal mu there is a ccc Boolean algebra whose topological density is mu .

Given any strong orbit equivalence class of minimal Cantor systems and any cardinal number that is finite, countable, or the continuum, we show that there exists a minimal subshift within the given class whose number of asymptotic…

We answer several questions of V. Tka\v{c}uk from [Point-countable $\pi$-bases in first countable and similar spaces, Fund. Math. 186 (2005), pp. 55--69.] by showing that (1) there is a ZFC example of a first countable, 0-dimensional…

We show that the existence of a universal countably chromatic graph of size $\aleph_1$ together with the failure of continuum hypothesis is consistent. The proof is a forcing iteration of strongly proper ccc posets. The construction works…

Throughout, $T$ denotes a complete first-order theory in a countable language $L$ that has infinite models and $I(\aleph_0,T)$ denotes the number of countable models of $T$, up to an isomorphism. To determine $I(\aleph_0,T)$, it suffices to…

Based upon the axiom of choice it is proved that the cardinality of the rational numbers is not less than the cardinality of the irrational numbers. This contradicts a main result of transfinite set theory and shows that the axiom of choice…

We show that if a topological or paratopological group $G$ contains a stationary subset of some regular uncountable cardinal, then $G$ contains a subspace which is not collectionwise normal. This statement implies that if a monotonically…

In this paper we prove a characterization of continuity for polynomials on a normed space. Namely, we prove that a polynomial is continuous if and only if it maps compact sets into compact sets. We also provide a partial answer to the…
