This article extends a paper of Abraham and Bonnet which generalised the famous Hausdorff characterisation of the class of scattered linear orders. They gave an inductively defined hierarchy that characterised the class of scattered posets which do not have infinite incomparability antichains (i.e. have the FAC). We define a larger inductive hierarchy κℌ* which characterises the closure of the class of all κ-well-founded linear orders under inversions, lexicographic sums and FAC weakenings. This...
We investigate properties of the class of compact spaces on which every regular Borel measure is separable. This class will be referred to as MS. We discuss some closure properties of MS, and show that some simply defined compact spaces, such as compact ordered spaces or compact scattered spaces, are in MS. Most of the basic theory for regular measures is true just in ZFC. On the other hand, the existence of a compact ordered scattered space which carries a non-separable (non-regular) Borel measure...
We construct two examples of a compact, 0-dimensional space which supports a Radon probability measure whose measure algebra is isomorphic to the measure algebra of . The first construction uses ♢ to produce an S-space with no convergent sequences in which every perfect set is a . A space with these properties must be both hereditarily normal and hereditarily countably paracompact. The second space is constructed under CH and is both HS and HL.
We show that an infinite-dimensional complete linear space X has: ∙ a dense hereditarily Baire Hamel basis if |X| ≤ ⁺; ∙ a dense non-meager Hamel basis if for some cardinal κ.
We investigate various kinds of bases in infinite-dimensional Banach spaces. In particular, we consider the complexity of Hamel bases in separable and non-separable Banach spaces and show that in a separable Banach space a Hamel basis cannot be analytic, whereas there are non-separable Hilbert spaces which have a discrete and closed Hamel basis. Further we investigate the existence of certain complete minimal systems in as well as in separable Banach spaces.
