Cotorsion-free algebras as endomorphism algebras in L - the discrete and topological cases

Rüdiger E. Göbel, Brendan Goldsmith (1993)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

The discrete algebras A over a commutative ring R which can be realized as the full endomorphism algebra of a torsion-free R -module have been investigated by Dugas and Göbel under the additional set-theoretic axiom of constructibility, V = L . Many interesting results have been obtained for cotorsion-free algebras but the proofs involve rather elaborate calculations in linear algebra. Here these results are rederived in a more natural topological setting and substantial generalizations to topological...

Countable Compact Scattered T₂ Spaces and Weak Forms of AC

Kyriakos Keremedis, Evangelos Felouzis, Eleftherios Tachtsis (2006)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

We show that: (1) It is provable in ZF (i.e., Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory minus the Axiom of Choice AC) that every compact scattered T₂ topological space is zero-dimensional. (2) If every countable union of countable sets of reals is countable, then a countable compact T₂ space is scattered iff it is metrizable. (3) If the real line ℝ can be expressed as a well-ordered union of well-orderable sets, then every countable compact zero-dimensional T₂ space...

Countable dense homogeneity and λ-sets

Rodrigo Hernández-Gutiérrez, Michael Hrušák, Jan van Mill (2014)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We show that all sufficiently nice λ-sets are countable dense homogeneous (𝖢𝖣𝖧). From this fact we conclude that for every uncountable cardinal κ ≤ 𝔟 there is a countable dense homogeneous metric space of size κ. Moreover, the existence of a meager in itself countable dense homogeneous metric space of size κ is equivalent to the existence of a λ-set of size κ. On the other hand, it is consistent with the continuum arbitrarily large that every 𝖢𝖣𝖧 metric space has size either ω₁ or 𝔠. An...
