For a non-isolated point $x$ of a topological space $X$ let ${\mathrm{nw}}_{\chi }\left(x\right)$ be the smallest cardinality of a family $𝒩$ of infinite subsets of $X$ such that each neighborhood $O\left(x\right)\subset X$ of $x$ contains a set $N\in 𝒩$. We prove that (a) each infinite compact Hausdorff space $X$ contains a non-isolated point $x$ with ${\mathrm{nw}}_{\chi }\left(x\right)={\aleph }_0$; (b) for each point $x\in X$ with ${\mathrm{nw}}_{\chi }\left(x\right)={\aleph }_0$ there is an injective sequence ${\left(x_n\right)}_{n\in \omega }$ in $X$ that $ℱ$-converges to $x$ for some meager filter $ℱ$ on $\omega$; (c) if a functionally Hausdorff space $X$ contains an $ℱ$-convergent injective sequence for some meager filter...

The notion of quasi-p-boundedness for p ∈ ${\omega }^{*}$ is introduced and investigated. We characterize quasi-p-pseudocompact subsets of β(ω) containing ω, and we show that the concepts of RK-compatible ultrafilter and P-point in ${\omega }^{*}$ can be defined in terms of quasi-p-pseudocompactness. For p ∈ ${\omega }^{*}$, we prove that a subset B of a space X is quasi-p-bounded in X if and only if B × $P_{RK}\left(p\right)$ is bounded in X × $P_{RK}\left(p\right)$, if and only if $c{l}_{\beta \left(X\times P_{RK}\left(p\right)\right)}\left(B\times P_{RK}\left(p\right)\right)=c{l}_{\beta X}B\times \beta \left(\omega \right)$, where $P_{RK}\left(p\right)$ is the set of Rudin-Keisler predecessors of p.

Let I ⊆ P(ω) be an ideal. We continue our investigation of the class of spaces with the I-ideal convergence property, denoted (I). We show that if I is an analytic, non-countably generated P-ideal then (I) ⊆ s₀. If in addition I is non-pathological and not isomorphic to $I_b$, then (I) spaces have measure zero. We also present a characterization of the (I) spaces using clopen covers.

An infinite set A in a space X converges to a point p (denoted by A → p) if for every neighbourhood U of p we have |A∖U| < |A|. We call cS(p,X) = |A|: A ⊂ X and A → p the convergence spectrum of p in X and cS(X) = ⋃cS(x,X): x ∈ X the convergence spectrum of X. The character spectrum of a point p ∈ X is χS(p,X) = χ(p,Y): p is non-isolated in Y ⊂ X, and χS(X) = ⋃χS(x,X): x ∈ X is the character spectrum of X. If κ ∈ χS(p,X) for a compactum X then κ,cf(κ) ⊂ cS(p,X). A selection of our results (X...

We shall show that there is an ultrafilter on singular $\kappa$ with countable cofinality, which cannot be reached from the set of all subuniform ultrafilters by iterating the closure of sets of size $<\kappa$.

We show that the statement CCFC = “the character of a maximal free filter $F$ of closed sets in a $T_1$ space $(X,T)$ is not countable” is equivalent to the Countable Multiple Choice Axiom CMC and, the axiom of choice AC is equivalent to the statement CFE${}_0$ = “closed filters in a $T_0$ space $(X,T)$ extend to maximal closed filters”. We also show that AC is equivalent to each of the assertions: “every closed filter $ℱ$ in a $T_1$ space $(X,T)$ extends to a maximal closed filter with a well orderable filter base”, “for every set $A\ne \varnothing$,...

In 1998, S. Romaguera [13] introduced the notion of cofinally Čech-complete spaces equivalent to spaces which we later called ultracomplete spaces. We define the subset of points of a space $X$ at which $X$ is not locally compact and call it an nlc set. In 1999, Garc’ıa-Máynez and S. Romaguera [6] proved that every cofinally Čech-complete space has a bounded nlc set. In 2001, D. Buhagiar [1] proved that every ultracomplete GO-space has a compact nlc set. In this paper, ultracomplete spaces which have...
