For a coarse space $(X, \mathcal{E})$, $X^\sharp$ denotes the set of all unbounded ultrafilters on $X$ endowed with the parallelity relation: $p||q$ if there exists $E \in \mathcal{E} $ such that $ E[P]\in q $ for each $P\in p$. If $(X,…

We prove that if $\mathcal{F}$ is a non-meager $P$-filter, then both $\mathcal{F}$ and ${}^\omega\mathcal{F}$ are countable dense homogeneous spaces.

We lower substantially the strength of the assumptions needed for the validity of certain results in category theory and homotopy theory which were known to follow from Vopenka's principle. We prove that the necessary large-cardinal…

Let $\mathcal{O}$ be a Dedekind domain whose field of fractions $K$ is a global field. Let $A$ be a finite-dimensional separable $K$-algebra and let $\Lambda$ be an $\mathcal{O}$-order in $A$. Let $n$ be a positive integer and suppose that…

Let $X$ be an unbounded metric space, $B(x,r) = \{y\in X: d(x,y) \leqslant r\}$ for all $x\in X$ and $r\geqslant 0$. We endow $X$ with the discrete topology and identify the Stone-\v{C}ech compactification $\beta X$ of $X$ with the set of…

We investigate a relations of almost isometric embedding and almost isometry between metric spaces and prove that with respect to these relations: (1) There is a countable universal metric space. (2) There may exist fewer than continuum…

We solve a well--known problem in the theory of compact scattered spaces and superatomic boolean algebras by showing that, under GCH and for each regular cardinal $\kappa \geq \omega$, there is a poset $\mathcal P_\kappa$ preserving all…

The main purpose of this paper is to study \emph{$e$-separable spaces}, originally introduced by Kurepa as $K_0'$ spaces; we call a space $X$ $e$-separable iff $X$ has a dense set which is the union of countably many closed discrete sets.…

We introduce the property ``$F$-linked'' of subsets of posets for a given free filter $F$ on the natural numbers, and define the properties ``$\mu$-$F$-linked'' and ``$\theta$-$F$-Knaster'' for posets in a natural way. We show that…

Exacting and ultraexacting cardinals are large cardinal numbers compatible with the Zermelo-Fraenkel axioms of set theory, including the Axiom of Choice. In contrast with standard large cardinal notions, their existence implies that the…

We consider the cardinal sequences of compact scattered spaces in models where CH is false. We describe a number of models where the continuum is aleph_2 in which no such space can have aleph_2 countable levels.

Let $\mathcal M_X$ denote the ideal of meager subsets of a topological space $X$. We prove that if $X$ is a completely metrizable space without isolated points, then the smallest cardinality of a non-meager subset of $X$, denoted…

A coarse space $X$, endowed with a linear order compatible with the coarse structure of $X$, is called linearly ordered. We prove that every linearly ordered coarse space $X$ is locally convex and the asymptotic dimension of $X$ is either…

Large cardinals arising from the existence of arbitrarily long end elementary extension chains over models of set theory are studied here. In particular, we show that the large cardinals obtained that way (`Unfoldable cardinals') behave as…

The set of all subracks $\mathcal{R}(X)$ of a finite rack $X$ form a lattice under inclusion. We prove that if a rack $X$ satisfies a certain condition then the homotopy type of the order complex of $\mathcal{R}(X)$ is a $(m-2)$-sphere,…

Let $(M,\scott X) \models \ACA$ be such that $P_\scott X$, the collection of all unbounded sets in $\scott X$, admits a definable complete ultrafilter and let $T$ be a theory extending first order arithmetic coded in $\scott X$ such that…

We prove from suitable large cardinal hypotheses that the least weakly compact cardinal can be unfoldable, weakly measurable and even nearly $\theta$-supercompact, for any desired $\theta$. In addition, we prove several global results…

Let $X$ be a non-empty set and let $\mathcal{F}$ be any $C^{\ast}$-subalgebra of $\ell ^{\infty}(X)$ containing the constant functions. We show that the spectrum of $\mathcal{F}$ can be considered as a space of certain filters determined by…

We show that the orthogonal separation coordinates on the sphere $S^n$ are naturally parametrised by the real version of the Deligne-Mumford-Knudsen moduli space $\bar M_{0,n+2}(R)$ of stable curves of genus zero with $n+2$ marked points.…

We show that there are uncountably many mutually non-isomorphic Lipschitz-free spaces over countable, complete, discrete metric spaces. Also there is a countable, complete, discrete metric space whose free space does not embed into the free…
