We prove that Arhangelskii's problem has a consistent positive answer: if V\models CH, then for some aleph_1-complete aleph_2-c.c. forcing notion P of cardinality aleph_2 we have that P forces ``CH and there is a Lindelof regular…

It is shown that CH implies the existence of a compact Hausdorff space that is countable dense homogeneous, crowded and does not contain topological copies of the Cantor set. This contrasts with a previous result by the author which says…

We show that the Continuum Hypothesis is consistent with all regular spaces of hereditarily countable $\pi$-character being C-closed. This gives us a model of ZFC in which the Continuum Hypothesis holds and compact Hausdorff spaces of…

We generalize the Arzel\`a-Ascoli theorem in the space of continuous maps on a compact interval with values in Euclidean N-space by providing a quantitative link between the Hausdorff measure of noncompactness in this space and a natural…

The main result of this paper is the proof of the simultaneous consistency, modulo a weakly compact cardinal, of the equality $2^{< \mathfrak{c}} = \mathfrak{c}$ with the following property (*) of partitions of pairs of $\mathfrak{c}$:…

Let $f$ and $g$ be scalar-valued, continuous functions on some topological space. We say that $g$ dominates $f$ in the compatibility ordering if $g$ coincides with $f$ on the support of $f$. We prove that two compact Hausdorff spaces are…

This article concerns the Herrlich-Chew theorem stating that a Hausdorff zero-dimensional space is $\mathbb{N}$-compact if and only if every clopen ultrafilter with the countable intersection property in this space is fixed. It also…

A symmetrizability criterion of Arhangelskii implies that a second-countable Hausdorff space is symmetrizable if and only if it is perfect. We present an example of a non-symmetrizable second-countable submetrizable space of cardinality…

Combining stationary reflection (a compactness property) with the failure of SCH (an instance of non-compactness) has been a long-standing theme. We obtain this at $\aleph_{\omega_1}$, answering a question of Ben-Neria, Hayut, and Unger: We…

A classical theorem of Alexandroff states that every $n$-dimensional compactum $X$ contains an $n$-dimensional Cantor manifold. This theorem has a number of generalizations obtained by various authors. We consider extension-dimensional and…

We derive quantitative stability results for Minkowski bodies, as well as their counterparts, the $L_p$-Minkowski bodies in the range $1 \le p \neq n$. We prove that, for every pair of probability measures $\mu,\nu$ satisfying a…

This article discusses the existence problem of a compact quotient of a symmetric space by a properly discontinuous group with emphasis on the non-Riemannian case. Discontinuous groups are not always abundant in a homogeneous space $G/H$ if…

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)…

The Hausdorff-Alexandroff Theorem states that any compact metric space is the continuous image of Cantor's ternary set $C$. It is well known that there are compact Hausdorff spaces of cardinality equal to that of $C$ that are not continuous…

In this paper we develop an analogue of the Berkovich analytification for non-necessarily algebraic complex spaces. We apply this theory to generalize to arbitrary compact K\"ahler manifolds a result of Chi Li, proving that a stronger…

We introduce combinatorial principles that characterize strong compactness and supercompactness for inaccessible cardinals but also make sense for successor cardinals. Their consistency is established from what is supposedly optimal.…

Using the method of forcing we prove that consistently there is a Banach space of continuous functions on a compact Hausdorff space with the Grothendieck property and with density less than the continuum. It follows that the classical…

We prove that, for an arbitrary topological space $X$, the following two conditions are equivalent: (a) Every open cover of $X$ has a finite subset with dense union (b) $X$ is $D$-pseudocompact, for every ultrafilter $D$. Locally, our…

In the seminal monograph "Theory of retracts", Borsuk raised the following question: suppose two compact ANR's are $h$--equal, i.e. mutually homotopy dominate each other, are they homotopy equivalent? The current paper approaches this…

A reflection principle for Corson compacta holds in the forcing extension obtained by Levy-collapsing a supercompact cardinal to~$\aleph_2$. In this model, a compact Hausdorff space is Corson if and only if all of its continuous images of…
