Given a topological space ⟨X,T⟩ ∈ M, an elementary submodel of set theory, we define to be X ∩ M with topology generated by U ∩ M:U ∈ T ∩ M. We prove that if is homeomorphic to ℝ, then . The same holds for arbitrary locally compact uncountable separable metric spaces, but is independent of ZFC if “local compactness” is omitted.
Given a topological space ⟨X,⟩ ∈ M, an elementary submodel of set theory, we define to be X ∩ M with topology generated by . Suppose is homeomorphic to the irrationals; must ? We have partial results. We also answer a question of Gruenhage by showing that if is homeomorphic to the “Long Cantor Set”, then .
We work towards establishing that if it is consistent that there is a supercompact cardinal then it is consistent that every locally compact perfectly normal space is paracompact. At a crucial step we use some still unpublished results announced by Todorcevic. Modulo this and the large cardinal, this answers a question of S. Watson. Modulo these same unpublished results, we also show that if it is consistent that there is a supercompact cardinal, it is consistent that every locally compact space...
We consider the question of when , where is the elementary submodel topology on X ∩ M, especially in the case when is compact.
In [Fund. Math. 210 (2010), 1-46] we claimed the truth of two statements, one now known to be false and a second lacking a proof. In this "Errata" we report these matters in the interest of setting the record straight on the status of these claims.
Arhangel’skii proved that if a first countable Hausdorff space is Lindelöf, then its cardinality is at most . Such a clean upper bound for Lindelöf spaces in the larger class of spaces whose points are has been more elusive. In this paper we continue the agenda started by the second author, [Topology Appl. 63 (1995)], of considering the cardinality problem for spaces satisfying stronger versions of the Lindelöf property. Infinite games and selection principles, especially the Rothberger property,...
