Generalizing Christensen's notion of a Haar-null set and Darji's notion of a Haar-meager set, we introduce and study the notion of a Haar-$\mathcal I$ set in a Polish group. Here $\mathcal I$ is an ideal of subsets of some compact…

For any abelian Polish sigma-compact group H there exist a sigma-ideal Z over N and a Borel Z-approximate homomorphism f : H --> H^N which is not Z-approximable by a continuous true homomorphism g : H --> H^N.

Let $X$ be an uncountable Polish space and let $\mathcal{I}$ be an ideal on $\omega$. A point $\eta \in X$ is an $\mathcal{I}$-limit point of a sequence $(x_n)$ taking values in $X$ if there exists a subsequence $(x_{k_n})$ convergent to…

We study Borel ideals $I$ on $\mathbb{N}$ with the Fr\'echet property such its orthogonal $I^\perp$ is also Borel (where $A\in I^\perp$ iff $A\cap B$ is finite for all $B\in I$ and $I$ is Fr\'echet if $I=I^{\perp\perp}$). Let $\mathcal{B}$…

Let $\Gamma$ be a discrete group acting freely via homeomorphisms on the compact Hausdorff space $X$ and let $C(X) \rtimes_\eta \Gamma$ be the completion of the convolution algebra $C_c(\Gamma,C(X))$ with respect to a $C^*$-norm $\eta$. A…

We introduce and investigate a class of ring ideals, termed ring $\mathrm{M}$-ideals, inspired by the Alfsen--Effros theory of $\mathrm{M}$-ideals in Banach spaces. We show that $\mathrm{M}$-ideals extend the classical notion of essential…

A classical theorem due to Mycielski states that an equivalence relation $E$ having the Baire property and meager equivalence classes must have a perfect set of pairwise inequivalent elements. We consider equivalence relations with…

Let $\I$ be an ideal on $\N$ which is either analytic or coanalytic. Assume that $(f_n)$ is a sequence of functions with the Baire property from a Polish space $X$ into a complete metric space $Z$, which is divergent on a comeager set. We…

J. Zapletal asked if all the forcing notions considered in his monograph are homogeneous. Specifically, he asked if the forcing consisting of Borel sets of $\sigma$-finite 2-dimensional Hausdorff measure in $\mathbb{R}^3$ (ordered under…

We study and classify topologically invariant $\sigma$-ideals with a Borel base on the Hilbert cube and evaluate their cardinal characteristics. One of the results of this paper solves (positively) a known problem whether the minimal…

Given a C*-algebra B which is graded over a discrete group G we consider ideals of B which are invariant under the projections onto each of the grading subspaces. If G is exact and the standard conditional expectation of B is faithful we…

With every $\sigma$-ideal $I$ on a Polish space we associate the $\sigma$-ideal $I^*$ generated by the closed sets in $I$. We study the forcing notions of Borel sets modulo the respective $\sigma$-ideals $I$ and $I^*$ and find connections…

We study ideals $\mathcal{I}$ on $\mathbb{N}$ satisfying the following Baire-type property: if $X$ is a complete metric space and $\{X_{A} \colon A \in \mathcal{I} \}$ is a family of nowhere dense subsets of $X$ with $X_{A} \subset X_{B}$…

The aim of this short note is to communicate a simple solution to the problem posed in [1] as Question 7.2.7: is it true that for every ccc $\sigma$-ideal I any I-positive Borel set contains modulo I an I-positive closed set?

Let I be a finitely supported complete m-primary ideal of a regular local ring (R, m). A theorem of Lipman implies that I has a unique factorization as a *-product of special *-simple complete ideals with possibly negative exponents for…

This paper provides an extensive study of the $\mathscr{I}$-Miller null ideals $M_\mathscr{I}$, $\sigma$-ideals on the Baire space parametrized by ideals $\mathscr{I}$ on countable sets. These $\sigma$-ideals are associated to the idealized…

In this paper we consider a notion of universal sets for ideals. We show that there exist universal sets of minimal Borel complexity for classic ideals like null subsets of $2^\omega$ and meager subsets of any Polish space, and demonstrate…

Let $G$ be a Polish group and let $H \leq G$ be a compact subgroup. We prove that there exists a Borel set $T \subset G$ which is simultaneously a complete set of coset representatives of left and right cosets, provided that a certain index…

In their recent paper on posets with a pseudocomplementation denoted by * the first and the third author introduced the concept of a *-ideal. This concept is in fact an extension of a similar concept introduced in distributive…

In this article, we study combinatorial properties of a certain ideal on $\omega$, called the \emph{Splitting ideal}. We calculate its cardinal invariants and its position in the Kat\v{e}tov order among other definable ideals. We also study…
