We give a new proof of the following theorem due to W. Weiss and P. Komjath: if $X$ is a regular topological space, with character $ < \mathfrak{b}$ and $X \rightarrow (top \omega + 1)^{1}_{\omega}$, then, for all $\alpha < \omega_1$, $X…

The "topological Tverberg conjecture" by B\'ar\'any, Shlosman and Sz\H{u}cs (1981) states that any continuous map of a simplex of dimension $(r-1)(d+1)$ to $\mathbb{R}^d$ maps points from $r$ disjoint faces of the simplex to the same point…

The main result of this paper is that, under PFA, for every {\em regular} space $X$ with $F(X) = \omega$ we have $|X| \le w(X)^\omega$; in particular, $w(X) \le \mathfrak{c}$ implies $|X| \le \mathfrak{c}$. This complements numerous prior…

The topological Tverberg conjecture was considered a central unsolved problem of topological combinatorics. The conjecture asserts that for any integers $r,d>1$ and any continuous map $f:\Delta\to\mathbb R^d$ of the $(d+1)(r-1)$-dimensional…

We present short proofs of Tverberg-type theorems for cell complexes by S. Hasui, D. Kishimoto, M. Takeda, and M. Tsutaya. One of them states that for any prime power $r$, any complex $X$ topologically homeomorphic to $S^{(d+1)(r-1)-1}$,…

Motivated by results of Juh\'asz and van Mill in [13], we define the cardinal invariant $wt(X)$, the weak tightness of a topological space $X$, and show that $|X|\leq 2^{L(X)wt(X)\psi(X)}$ for any Hausdorff space $X$ (Theorem 2.8). As…

A $k_\omega$-space $X$ is a Hausdorff quotient of a locally compact, $\sigma$-compact Hausdorff space. A theorem of Morita's describes the structure of $X$ when the quotient map is closed, but in 2010 a question of Arkhangel'skii's…

The topological Tverberg theorem claims that for any continuous map of the (q-1)(d+1)-simplex to R^d there are q disjoint faces such that their images have a non-empty intersection. This has been proved for affine maps, and if $q$ is a…

It is proved that if there exists a positive and continuous function $f$ on an $n$-dimensional complex manifold $X$, $q$-convex with corners outside a compact set $K\subset X$ and which exhausts $X$ from below, then…

The topological reconstruction problem asks how much information about a topological space can be recovered from its point-complement subspaces. If the whole space can be recovered in this way, it is called reconstructible. Our main result…

The weak tightness $wt(X)$ of a space $X$ was introduced in [11] with the property $wt(X)\leq t(X)$. We investigate several well-known results concerning $t(X)$ and consider whether they extend to the weak tightness setting. First we give…

Akcoglu and Suchaston proved the following result: Let $T:L^1(X,{\cf},\m)\to L^1(X,{\cf},\m)$ be a positive contraction. Assume that for $z\in L^1(X,{\cf},\m)$ the sequence $(T^nz)$ converges weakly in $L^1(X,{\cf},\m)$, then either…

In this note, we continue to highlight some applications of Theorem 1 of [3]. Here is a sample: Let $X$ be an open set in ${\bf C}^n$, $\Omega$ an open convex set in ${\bf C}$ and $f, g : X\to {\bf C}$ two holomorphic functions such that…

We study the relations between a generalization of pseudocompactness, named $(\kappa, M)$-pseudocompactness, the countably compactness of subspaces of $\beta \omega$ and the pseudocompactness of their hyperspaces. We show, by assuming the…

Denote by $\Delta_M$ the $M$-dimensional simplex. A map $f\colon \Delta_M\to\mathbb R^d$ is an almost $r$-embedding if $f\sigma_1\cap\ldots\cap f\sigma_r=\emptyset$ whenever $\sigma_1,\ldots,\sigma_r$ are pairwise disjoint faces. A…

The long-standing topological Tverberg conjecture claimed, for any continuous map from the boundary of an $N(q,d):=(q-1)(d+1)$-simplex to $d$-dimensional Euclidian space, the existence of $q$ pairwise disjoint subfaces whose images have…

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

In 1998 the second author proved that there is an $\epsilon>0$ such that every graph satisfies $\chi \leq \lceil (1-\epsilon)(\Delta+1)+\epsilon\omega\rceil$. The first author recently proved that any graph satisfying $\omega > \frac…

A topological space $X$ is called a $Q$-space if every subset of $X$ is of type $F_\sigma$ in $X$. For $i\in\{1,2,3\}$ let $\mathfrak q_i$ be the smallest cardinality of a second-countable $T_i$-space which is not a $Q$-space. It is clear…

(Write-up of a talk at the Bialowieza meeting, July 2007.) Gelfand and Kolmogorov in 1939 proved that a compact Hausdorff topological space $X$ can be canonically embedded into the infinite-dimensional vector space $C(X)^* $, the dual space…
