Separating by G δ -sets in finite powers of ω₁

Yasushi Hirata, Nobuyuki Kemoto (2003)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

It is known that all subspaces of ω₁² have the property that every pair of disjoint closed sets can be separated by disjoint G δ -sets (see [4]). It has been conjectured that all subspaces of ω₁ⁿ also have this property for each n < ω. We exhibit a subspace of ⟨α,β,γ⟩ ∈ ω₁³: α ≤ β ≤ γ which does not have this property, thus disproving the conjecture. On the other hand, we prove that all subspaces of ⟨α,β,γ⟩ ∈ ω₁³: α < β < γ have this property.

Separating sets by Darboux-like functions

Aleksander Maliszewski (2002)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We consider the following problem: Characterize the pairs ⟨A,B⟩ of subsets of ℝ which can be separated by a function from a given class, i.e., for which there exists a function f from that class such that f = 0 on A and f = 1 on B (the classical separation property) or f < 0 on A and f > 0 on B (a new separation property).
