In J. Symbolic Logic,51(4): 957-968, 1986, Pawlikowski proved that, if $r$ is a random real over $\mathbf{N}$, and $c$ is Cohen real over $\mathbf{N}[r]$, then (a) in $\mathbf{N}[r][c]$ there is a Cohen real over $\mathbf{N}[c]$, and (b)…
The additivity spectrum ADD(I) of an ideal I is the set of all regular cardinals kappa such that there is an increasing chain {A_alpha:alpha<kappa\} in the ideal I such that the union of the chain is not in I. We investigate which set A of…
Starting from an inaccessible cardinal, we construct a model of $ZF+DC$ where there exists a mad family and all sets of reals are $\mathbb Q$-measurable for $\omega^{\omega}$-bounding sufficiently absolute forcing notions $\mathbb Q$.
We discuss some conjectural inequalities that are related to singular integrals, martingales, quasiconformal mappings, and the calculus of variations. Specifically, we present evidence for a conjecture of Iwaniec concerning the best…
For a family {k_t | t \in I} of real C^2 functions defined on U (I, U -- open intervals) and satisfying some mild regularity conditions, we prove that the mapping I \ni t --> k_t^{-1}(\sum_{i=1}^n w_i k_t(a_i)) is a continuous bijection…
A function $f:X\to \mathbb R$ defined on a topological space $X$ is called returning if for any point $x\in X$ there exists a positive real number $M_x$ such that for every path-connected subset $C_x\subset X$ containing the point $x$ and…
Various problems on integers lead to the class of congruence preserving functions on rings, i.e. functions verifying $a-b$ divides $f(a)-f(b)$ for all $a,b$. We characterized these classes of functions in terms of sums of rational…
In this work, we introduce a natural notion concerning finite vector spaces. A family of $k$-dimensional subspaces of $\mathbb{F}_q^n$, which forms a partial spread, is called almost affinely disjoint if any $(k+1)$-dimensional subspace…
Using GCH, we force the following: There are continuum many simple cardinal characteristics with pairwise different values.
The almost disjointness numbers associated to the quotients determined by the transfinite products of the ideal of finite sets are investigated. A $\mathrm{ZFC}$ lower bound involving the minimum of the classical almost disjointness and…
We prove in ZFC that there is a MAD family of functions in omega^omega which is also maximal with respect to infinite partial functions. This solves a 20 year old question of Van Douwen. We also strengthen a result of J. Steprans stating…
A real function $f$ is ward continuous if $f$ preserves quasi-Cauchyness, i.e. $(f(x_{n}))$ is a quasi-Cauchy sequence whenever $(x_{n})$ is quasi-Cauchy; and a subset $E$ of $\textbf{R}$ is quasi-Cauchy compact if any sequence…
We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for a continuous bounded function $f: R\to C$ to be a characteristic function of a probability measure. The Cauchy transform $K_f$ of $f$ is used as analytic continuation of $f$ to the upper and…
A type-2 computable real function is necessarily continuous; and this remains true for relative, i.e. oracle-based computations. Conversely, by the Weierstrass Approximation Theorem, every continuous f:[0,1]->R is computable relative to…
We introduce a fairly general concept of functional equation for $k$-tuples of functions $f_1,\dots,f_k\colon X \to Y$ between arbitrary sets. The homomorphy equations for mappings between groups and other algebraic systems, as well as…
In this article, we give a proof for that the cardinality of a function basis of the invariants for a finite dimensional real vector space by a compact group is lower bounded by the intuitive difference of the dimensions of the vector space…
In this paper for each cardinal $\kappa$ we construct an infinite $\kappa$-bounded (and hence countably compact) regular space $R_{\kappa}$ such that for any $T_1$ space $Y$ of pseudo-character $\leq\kappa$, each continuous function…
Let $\Gamma^\infty$ be the set of all universally Baire sets of reals. Inspired by recent work of the second author and Nam Trang, we introduce a new technique for establishing generic absoluteness results for models containing…
Assuming three strongly compact cardinals, it is consistent that \[ \aleph_1 < \mathrm{add}(\mathrm{null}) < \mathrm{cov}(\mathrm{null}) < \mathfrak{b} < \mathfrak{d} < \mathrm{non}(\mathrm{null}) < \mathrm{cof}(\mathrm{null}) <…
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…
