A new class of full fans in an euclidean space - tight fans - is introduced. Such fans are defined using a property of local symmetry in a face of a tiling. Tight fans are related to the theory of parallelotopes in an euclidean space. A…

In this paper we get characterizations countable tightness, countable fan-tightness and countable strong fan-tightness of spaces of quasicontinuous functions with the topology of pointwise convergence from a open Whyburn $T_2$-space $X$…

A topological space $X$ is $\mathbb R^{\omega_1}$-factorizable if any continuous function $f\colon X\to \mathbb R^{\omega_1}$ factors through a continuous function from $X$ to a second-countable space. It is shown that a Tychonoff space $X$…

We show that $\mathsf{PFA}$ implies that the tightness $t(X_\delta)$ of the $G_\delta$-modification of a Fr\'echet $\alpha_1$-space $X$ is at most $\omega_1$, while $\Box(\kappa)$ implies that there is a Fr\'echet $\alpha_1$-space with…

A classical theorem of Malykhin says that if $\{X_\alpha:\alpha\leq\kappa\}$ is a family of compact spaces such that $t(X_\alpha)\leq \kappa$, for every $\alpha\leq\kappa$, then $t\left( \prod_{\alpha\leq \kappa} X_\alpha \right)\leq…

Game-theoretic characterizations of selection principles provide a powerful framework for analyzing covering properties through strategic interactions. For a Tychonoff space $X$ and a non-trivial metrizable arc-connected topological group…

We define a functor which takes in an $(\infty,1)$-category and outputs an $(\omega,1)$-category, the natural maximally "strict" version of an $(\infty,1)$-category. We do this by modeling $(\infty,1)$-categories as categories enriched in…

In this paper we investigate more characterizations and applications of $\delta$-strongly compact cardinals. We show that, for a cardinal $\kappa$ the following are equivalent: (1) $\kappa$ is $\delta$-strongly compact, (2) For every…

Using approximation by continuous functions we prove the following statements to types of tightness in a space $Q_p(X, \mathbb{R})$ of all quasicontinuous real-valued functions with the topology $\tau_p$ of pointwise convergence: the…

The Proper Forcing Axiom implies that compact Hausdorff spaces are either first-countable or contain a converging $\omega_1$-sequence.

A forcing extension may create new isomorphisms between two models of a first order theory. Certain model theoretic constraints on the theory and other constraints on the forcing can prevent this pathology. A countable first order theory is…

We present a version with non-definable forcing notions of Shelah's theory of iterated forcing along a template. Our main result, as an application, is that, if $\kappa$ is a measurable cardinal and $\theta<\kappa<\mu<\lambda$ are…

A family of closed subsets of a topological space $X$ is called a (strict) $Cld$-fan in $X$ if this family is (strictly) compact-finite but not locally finite in $X$. Applications of (strict) $Cld$-fans are based on a simple observation…

We construct a normal countably tight $T_1$ space $X$ with $t(X_\delta) >2^\omega$. This is an answer to the question posed by Dow-Juh\'asz-Soukup-Szentmikl\'ossy-Weiss. We also show that if the continuum is not so large, then the tightness…

We develop a general framework for forcing with coherent adequate sets on $H(\lambda)$ as side conditions, where $\lambda \ge \omega_2$ is a cardinal of uncountable cofinality. We describe a class of forcing posets which we call coherent…

A space $X$ is called a $k_{R}$-space, if $X$ is Tychonoff and the necessary and sufficient condition for a real-valued function $f$ on $X$ to be continuous is that the restriction of $f$ to each compact subset is continuous. In this paper,…

Suppose $\kappa$ is a singular strong limit cardinal of countable cofinality and let $\langle \kappa_{n}: n<\omega \rangle$ be an incrasing sequence of regular cardinals cofinal in $\kappa$. We show that if $cf(2^\kappa)= \kappa^+$, then…

In this paper, we find necessary and sufficient conditions for countable fan tightness and countable strong fan tightness of the space (briefly, $C_{p}(X,G)$) of all group-valued continuous functions endowed with the topology of pointwise…

We introduce bounded category forcing axioms for well-behaved classes $\Gamma$. These are strong forms of bounded forcing axioms which completely decide the theory of some initial segment of the universe $H_{\lambda_\Gamma^+}$ modulo…

Given a property $P$ of subspaces of a $T_1$ space $X$, we say that $X$ is {\em $P$-bounded} iff every subspace of $X$ with property $P$ has compact closure in $X$. Here we study $P$-bounded spaces for the properties $P \in \{\omega D,…
