The measure algebra does not always embed

Alan Dow, Klaas Hart (2000)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

The Open Colouring Axiom implies that the measure algebra cannot be embedded into P(ℕ)/fin. We also discuss errors in previous results on the embeddability of the measure algebra.

Expansions of the real line by open sets: o-minimality and open cores

Chris Miller, Patrick Speissegger (1999)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

The open core of a structure ℜ := (ℝ,<,...) is defined to be the reduct (in the sense of definability) of ℜ generated by all of its definable open sets. If the open core of ℜ is o-minimal, then the topological closure of any definable set has finitely many connected components. We show that if every definable subset of ℝ is finite or uncountable, or if ℜ defines addition and multiplication and every definable open subset of ℝ has finitely many connected components, then the open core...

Partition properties of ω1 compatible with CH

Uri Abraham, Stevo Todorčević (1997)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

A combinatorial statement concerning ideals of countable subsets of ω is introduced and proved to be consistent with the Continuum Hypothesis. This statement implies the Suslin Hypothesis, that all (ω, ω*)-gaps are Hausdorff, and that every coherent sequence on ω either almost includes or is orthogonal to some uncountable subset of ω.

Compositions of simple maps

Jerzy Krzempek (1999)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

A map (= continuous function) is of order ≤ k if each of its point-inverses has at most k elements. Following [4], maps of order ≤ 2 are called simple.  Which maps are compositions of simple closed [open, clopen] maps? How many simple maps are really needed to represent a given map? It is proved herein that every closed map of order ≤ k defined on an n-dimensional metric space is a composition of (n+1)k-1 simple closed maps (with metric domains). This theorem fails...
