We show a number of undecidable assertions concerning countably compact spaces hold under PFA(S)[S]. We also show the consistency without large cardinals of "every locally compact, perfectly normal space is paracompact".

For infinite products of compact spaces, Tychonoff's theorem asserts that their product is compact, in the product topology. Tychonoff's theorem is shown to be equivalent to the axiom of choice. In this paper, we show that any countable…

A dual pair formulation for asymmetric locally convex spaces is developed that strictly generalises the ordinary vector space setting. The concept of a polar topology carries over to the asymmetric case and some familiar results are…

In this paper we find general criteria to ensure that, in an arbitrary o-minimal structure, the o-minimal cohomology without supports and with definably compact supports of a definable space with coefficients in a sheaf is invariant in…

We show in detail that every compact countable subset of a metric space is homeomorphic to a countable ordinal number, which extends a result given by Mazurkiewicz and Sierpinski for finite-dimensional Euclidean spaces. In order to achieve…

A compact quantum metric space is a unital $C^*$-algebra equipped with a Lip-norm. Let $\{(A_n, L_n)\}$ be a sequence of compact quantum metric spaces, and let $\phi_n:A_n\to A_{n+1}$ be a unital $^*$-homomorphism preserving Lipschitz…

We provide a ZFC example of a compact space K such that C(K)* is w*-separable but its closed unit ball is not w*-separable. All previous examples of such kind had been constructed under CH. We also discuss the measurability of the supremum…

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…

In this paper we adapt work of Z.-D. Liu to prove a ball covering property for non-branching $\mathsf{CD}$ spaces with nonnegative curvature outside a compact set. As a consequence we obtain uniform bounds on the number of ends of such…

We formulate a conjecture that arithmetic locally symmetric manifolds have simple homotopy type, and prove it for the non-compact case. More precisely, we show that, for any symmetric space S of non-compact type without Euclidean de Rham…

In this paper we introduce a family of examples that can be regarded as spaces of nonpositive curvature, but with the distinct quality that they are not complete as metric spaces. This amounts to the fact that they are modelled on a finite…

Hurewicz' characterized the dimension of separable metrizable spaces by means of finite-to-one maps. We investigate whether this characterization also holds in the class of compact F-spaces of weight c. Our main result is that, assuming the…

Let $\mathcal{M}$ be a von Neumann algebra with a normal semifinite faithful trace $\tau$. We prove that every continuous $m$-homogeneous polynomial $P$ from $L^p(\mathcal{M},\tau)$, with $0<p<\infty$, into each topological linear space $X$…

We show that it is consistent that for some uncountable cardinal k, all compactifications of the countable discrete space with remainders homeomorphic to $D^k$ are homeomorphic to each other. On the other hand, there are $2^c$ pairwise…

In this note we prove several theorems that are related to some results and problems from [6]. We answer two of the main problems that were raised in [6]. First we give a ZFC example of a Hausdorff space in $C(\omega_1)$ that has…

We introduce the notion that a zero-dimensional compact space $L$ is a \emph{Boolean image} of an arbitrary compact space $K$. When $K$ is also zero-dimensional, this just means that $L$ is a continuous image of $K$. However, a number of…

It is known that a Banach space contains an isomorphic copy of $c_0$ if, and only if, it can be equivalently renormed to be almost square. We introduce and study transfinite versions of almost square Banach spaces with the purpose to relate…

Assume hat a functionally Hausdorff space $X$ is a continuous image of a \v{C}ech complete space $P$ with Lindel\"of number $l(P)<\mathfrak c$. Then the following conditions are equivalent: (i) every compact subset of $X$ is scattered, (ii)…

We give a unified treatment of the countable dense homogeneity of products of Polish spaces, with a focus on uncountable products. Our main result states that a product of fewer than $\mathfrak{p}$ Polish spaces is countable dense…

An embeddability criterion for zero-dimensional metrizable topological spaces in zero-dimensional metrizable topological groups is given. A space which can be embedded as a closed subspace in a zero-dimensional metrizable group but is not…
