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…

In the paper, we investigate (scattered) compact spaces with a $P$-base for some poset $P$. More specifically, we prove that, under the assumption $\omega_1<\mathfrak{b}$, any compact space with an $\omega^\omega$-base is first-countable…

We construct locally Lindel\"of scattered P-spaces (LLSP spaces, in short) with prescribed widths and heights under different set-theoretic assumptions. We prove that there is an LLSP space of width $\omega_1$ and height $\omega_2$ and that…

All spaces are assumed to be Tychonoff. Given a realcompact space $X$, we denote by $\mathsf{Exp}(X)$ the smallest infinite cardinal $\kappa$ such that $X$ is homeomorphic to a closed subspace of $\mathbb{R}^\kappa$. Our main result shows…

We show that if we add any number of Cohen reals to the ground model then, in the generic extension, a locally compact scattered space has at most (2^{aleph_0})^V many levels of size omega. We also give a complete ZFC characterization of…

The $\kappa$-topologies on the spaces $\mathscr{D}_{L^p}$, $L^p$ and $\mathscr{M}^1$ are defined by a neighbourhood basis consisting of polars of absolutely convex and compact subsets of their (pre-)dual spaces. In many cases it is more…

A Tychonoff space $X$ is called $\kappa$-pseudocompact if for every continuous mapping $f$ of $X$ into $\mathbb{R}^\kappa$ the image $f(X)$ is compact. This notion generalizes pseudocompactness and gives a stratification of spaces lying…

We study higher analogues of the classical independence number on $\omega$. For $\kappa$ regular uncountable, we denote by $i(\kappa)$ the minimal size of a maximal $\kappa$-independent family. We establish ZFC relations between $i(\kappa)$…

It is well-known that every non-isolated point in a compact Hausdorff space is the accumulation point of a discrete subset. Answering a question raised by Z. Szentmiklossy and the first author, we show that this statement fails for…

We study the class of first-countable Lindel\"of scattered spaces, or "FLS" spaces. While every $T_3$ FLS space is homeomorphic to a scattered subspace of $\mathbb Q$, the class of $T_2$ FLS spaces turns out to be surprisingly rich. Our…

An $\omega_1$-compact space is a space in which every closed discrete subspace is countable. We give various general conditions under which a locally compact, $\omega_1$-compact space is $\sigma$-countably compact, i.e., the union of…

We say that a Tychonoff space $X$ is a $\kappa$-space if it is homeomorphic to a closed subspace of $C_p(Y)$ for some locally compact space $Y$. The class of $\kappa$-spaces is strictly between the class of Dieudonn\'{e} complete spaces and…

For infinite cardinals $\kappa,\lambda$ let $C(\kappa,\lambda)$ denote the class of all compact Hausdorff spaces of weight $\kappa$ and size $\lambda$. So $C(\kappa,\lambda)=\emptyset$ if $\kappa>\lambda$ or $\lambda>2^\kappa$. If F is a…

Heinrich Tietze has shown that for a closed connected subset of euclidean space being convex is a local property. We generalize this to CAT(0)-spaces and locally compact CAT(\kappa) spaces. As an application we give a construction of…

Assume ZFC. Let $\kappa$ be a cardinal. A ${<\kappa}$-ground is a transitive proper class $W$ modelling ZFC and such that $V$ is a generic extension of $W$ via a forcing $\mathbb{P}\in W$ of cardinality ${<\kappa}$. The $\kappa$-mantle is…

The main result of this paper is to show that for any compact space $X$ and any family $\{f_\alpha \colon \alpha< 2^\kappa, f_\alpha \colon X \stackrel{onto}{\longrightarrow} \beta \kappa\}$ of open mappings there exists a point $x \in X$…

We show that there are locally compact spaces that can be condensed onto separable spaces but not onto compact separable spaces. We also show that for every cardinal $\kappa$ there is a locally compact topological group of cardinality…

For any regular cardinal $\kappa$ and ordinal $\eta<\kappa^{++}$ it is consistent that $2^{\kappa}$ is as large as you wish, and every function $f:\eta \to [\kappa,2^{\kappa}]\cap Card$ with $f(\alpha)=\kappa$ for $cf(\alpha)<\kappa$ is the…

We show that it is relatively consistent with ZFC that 2^omega is arbitrarily large and every sequence s=(s_i:i<omega_2) of infinite cardinals with s_i<=2^omega is the cardinal sequence of some locally compact scattered space.

In \cite{Chaber}, Chaber has proved that countably compact spaces with a quasi $G_{\delta }$-diagonal are compact. We prove that initially $\kappa $% -compact spaces with a quasi $G_{\kappa }$-diagonal are compact, for any infinite cardinal…
