We characterize exactly the compactness properties of the product of κ copies of the space ω with the discrete topology. The characterization involves uniform ultrafilters, infinitary languages, and the existence of nonstandard elements in elementary extensions. We also have results involving products of possibly uncountable regular cardinals.

We consider when one-to-one continuous mappings can improve normality-type and compactness-type properties of topological spaces. In particular, for any Tychonoff non-pseudocompact space there is a such that can be condensed onto a normal (-compact) space if and only if there is no measurable cardinal. For any Tychonoff space and any cardinal there is a Tychonoff space which preserves many properties of and such that any one-to-one continuous image of , , contains a closed copy...
We prove by using well-founded trees that a countable product of supercomplete spaces, scattered with respect to Čech-complete subsets, is supercomplete. This result extends results given in [Alstera], [Friedlera], [Frolika], [HohtiPelantb], [Pelanta] and its proof improves that given in [HohtiPelantb].
We consider the compact spaces σₙ(Γ) of subsets of Γ of cardinality at most n and their countable products. We give a complete classification of their Banach spaces of continuous functions and a partial topological classification.

In this paper, we discuss covering properties in countable products of Čech-scattered spaces and prove the following: (1) If is a perfect subparacompact space and is a countable collection of subparacompact Čech-scattered spaces, then the product is subparacompact and (2) If is a countable collection of metacompact Čech-scattered spaces, then the product is metacompact.
