Strongly almost disjoint familes, revisited

A. Hajnal, Istvan Juhász, Saharon Shelah (2000)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

The relations M(κ,λ,μ) → B [resp. B(σ)] meaning that if $A \subset {[κ]}^{λ}$ with |A|=κ is μ-almost disjoint then A has property B [resp. has a σ-transversal] had been introduced and studied under GCH in [EH]. Our two main results here say the following: Assume GCH and let ϱ be any regular cardinal with a supercompact [resp. 2-huge] cardinal above ϱ. Then there is a ϱ-closed forcing P such that, in $V^{P}$ , we have both GCH and $M (ϱ^{(+ ϱ + 1)}, ϱ^{+}, ϱ) ↛ B$ [resp. $M (ϱ^{(+ ϱ + 1)}, λ, ϱ) ↛ B (ϱ^{+})$ for all $λ \leq ϱ^{(+ ϱ + 1)}]$ . These show that, consistently, the results of [EH] are sharp....

A forcing construction of thin-tall Boolean algebras

Juan Martínez (1999)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

It was proved by Juhász and Weiss that for every ordinal α with $0 < α < ω_{2}$ there is a superatomic Boolean algebra of height α and width ω. We prove that if κ is an infinite cardinal such that $κ^{< κ} = κ$ and α is an ordinal such that $0 < α < κ^{+ +}$ , then there is a cardinal-preserving partial order that forces the existence of a superatomic Boolean algebra of height α and width κ. Furthermore, iterating this forcing through all $α < κ^{+ +}$ , we obtain a notion of forcing that preserves cardinals and such that in the corresponding...

On partitions of lines and space

Paul Erdös, Steve Jackson, R. Mauldin (1994)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We consider a set, L, of lines in $ℝ^{n}$ and a partition of L into some number of sets: $L = L_{1} \cup . . . \cup L_{p}$ . We seek a corresponding partition $ℝ^{n} = S_{1} \cup . . . \cup S_{p}$ such that each line l in $L_{i}$ meets the set $S_{i}$ in a set whose cardinality has some fixed bound, $ω_{τ}$ . We determine equivalences between the bounds on the size of the continuum, $2^{ω} \leq ω_{θ}$ , and some relationships between p, $ω_{τ}$ and $ω_{θ}$ .

More set-theory around the weak Freese–Nation property

Sakaé Fuchino, Lajos Soukup (1997)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We introduce a very weak version of the square principle which may hold even under failure of the generalized continuum hypothesis. Under this weak square principle, we give a new characterization (Theorem 10) of partial orderings with κ-Freese-Nation property (see below for the definition). The characterization is not a ZFC theorem: assuming Chang’s Conjecture for $ℵ_{ω}$ , we can find a counter-example to the characterization (Theorem 12). We then show that, in the model obtained by adding...

Decomposing Baire class 1 functions into continuous functions

Saharon Shelah, Juris Steprans (1994)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

It is shown to be consistent that every function of first Baire class can be decomposed into $ℵ_{1}$ continuous functions yet the least cardinal of a dominating family in $^{ω} ω$ is $ℵ_{2}$ . The model used in the one obtained by adding $ω_{2}$ Miller reals to a model of the Continuum Hypothesis.

Distinguishing two partition properties of ω1

Péter Komjáth (1998)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

It is consistent that $ω_{1} \to {(ω_{1}, (ω : 2))}^{2}$ but $ω_{1} ↛ {(ω_{1}, ω + 2)}^{2}$ .

A function space Cp(X) not linearly homeomorphic to Cp(X) × ℝ

Witold Marciszewski (1997)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We construct two examples of infinite spaces X such that there is no continuous linear surjection from the space of continuous functions $c_{p} (X)$ onto $c_{p} (X)$ × ℝ $. I n p a r t i c u l a r,$ cp(X) $i s n o t l i n e a r l y h o m e o m o r p h i c t o$ cp(X) $\times ℝ$ . One of these examples is compact. This answers some questions of Arkhangel’skiĭ.

On character and chain conditions in images of products

Murray Bell (1998)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

A scadic space is a Hausdorff continuous image of a product of compact scattered spaces. We complete a theorem begun by G. Chertanov that will establish that for each scadic space X, χ(X) = w(X). A ξ-adic space is a Hausdorff continuous image of a product of compact ordinal spaces. We introduce an either-or chain condition called Property $R_{λ}^{'}$ which we show is satisfied by all ξ-adic spaces. Whereas Property $R_{λ}^{'}$ is productive, we show that a weaker (but more natural) Property $R_{λ}$ is not productive....

On sums of two cubes: an Ω₊-estimate for the error term

M. Kühleitner, W. G. Nowak, J. Schoissengeier, T. D. Wooley (1998)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

The arithmetic function $r_{k} (n)$ counts the number of ways to write a natural number n as a sum of two kth powers (k ≥ 2 fixed). The investigation of the asymptotic behaviour of the Dirichlet summatory function of $r_{k} (n)$ leads in a natural way to a certain error term $P_{_{k}} (t)$ which is known to be $O (t^{1 / 4})$ in mean-square. In this article it is proved that $P_{₃} (t) = Ω ₊ (t^{1 / 4} {(l o g l o g t)}^{1 / 4})$ as t → ∞. Furthermore, it is shown that a similar result would be true for every fixed k > 3 provided that a certain set of algebraic numbers contains a...

Difference functions of periodic measurable functions

Tamás Keleti (1998)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We investigate some problems of the following type: For which sets H is it true that if f is in a given class ℱ of periodic functions and the difference functions $Δ_{h} f (x) = f (x + h) - f (x)$ are in a given smaller class G for every h ∈ H then f itself must be in G? Denoting the class of counter-example sets by ℌ(ℱ,G), that is, $ℌ (ℱ, G) = H \subset ℝ / ℤ : (\exists f \in ℱ G) (\forall h \in H) Δ_{h} f \in G$ , we try to characterize ℌ(ℱ,G) for some interesting classes of functions ℱ ⊃ G. We study classes of measurable functions on the circle group $𝕋 = ℝ / ℤ$ that are invariant for changes on null-sets...

The minimum uniform compactification of a metric space

R. Grant Woods (1995)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

It is shown that associated with each metric space (X,d) there is a compactification $u_{d} X$ of X that can be characterized as the smallest compactification of X to which each bounded uniformly continuous real-valued continuous function with domain X can be extended. Other characterizations of $u_{d} X$ are presented, and a detailed study of the structure of $u_{d} X$ is undertaken. This culminates in a topological characterization of the outgrowth $u_{d} ℝ^{n} ∖ ℝ^{n}$ , where $(ℝ^{n}, d)$ is Euclidean n-space with its usual metric. ...

Operators on C(ω^α) which do not preserve C(ω^α)

Dale Alspach (1997)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

It is shown that if α,ζ are ordinals such that 1 ≤ ζ < α < ζω, then there is an operator from $C (ω^{ω^{α}})$ onto itself such that if Y is a subspace of $C (ω^{ω^{α}})$ which is isomorphic to $C (ω^{ω^{α}})$ , then the operator is not an isomorphism on Y. This contrasts with a result of J. Bourgain that implies that there are uncountably many ordinals α for which for any operator from $C (ω^{ω^{α}})$ onto itself there is a subspace of $C (ω^{ω^{α}})$ which is isomorphic to $C (ω^{ω^{α}})$ on which the operator is an isomorphism.

How to recognize a true Σ^0_3 set

Etienne Matheron (1998)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let X be a Polish space, and let ${(A_{p})}_{p \in ω}$ be a sequence of $G_{δ}$ hereditary subsets of K(X) (the space of compact subsets of X). We give a general criterion which allows one to decide whether $\cup_{p \in ω} A_{p}$ is a true $\sum_{3}^{0}$ subset of K(X). We apply this criterion to show that several natural families of thin sets from harmonic analysis are true $\sum_{3}^{0}$ .

Partition properties of subsets of Pκλ

Masahiro Shioya (1999)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let κ > ω be a regular cardinal and λ > κ a cardinal. The following partition property is shown to be consistent relative to a supercompact cardinal: For any $f : \cup_{n < ω} {[X]}_{\subset}^{n} \to γ$ with $X \subset P_{κ} λ$ unbounded and 1 < γ < κ there is an unbounded Y ∪ X with $| f^{''} {[Y]}_{\subset}^{n} | = 1$ for any n < ω.

The space of ANR’s in $ℝ^{n}$

Tadeusz Dobrowolski, Leonard Rubin (1994)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

The hyperspaces $A N R (ℝ^{n})$ and $A R (ℝ^{n})$ in $2^{ℝ^{n}} (n \geq 3)$ consisting respectively of all compact absolute neighborhood retracts and all compact absolute retracts are studied. It is shown that both have the Borel type of absolute $G_{δ σ δ}$ -spaces and that, indeed, they are not $F_{σ δ σ}$ -spaces. The main result is that $A N R (ℝ^{n})$ is an absorber for the class of all absolute $G_{δ σ δ}$ -spaces and is therefore homeomorphic to the standard model space $Ω_{3}$ of this class.

Interpreting reflexive theories in finitely many axioms

V. Shavrukov (1997)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

For finitely axiomatized sequential theories F and reflexive theories R, we give a characterization of the relation ’F interprets R’ in terms of provability of restricted consistency statements on cuts. This characterization is used in a proof that the set of $\prod_{1}$ (as well as $\sum_{1}$ ) sentences π such that GB interprets ZF+π is $Σ_{3}^{0}$ -complete.

Countable partitions of the sets of points and lines

James Schmerl (1999)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

The following theorem is proved, answering a question raised by Davies in 1963. If $L_{0} \cup L_{1} \cup L_{2} \cup . . .$ is a partition of the set of lines of $ℝ^{n}$ , then there is a partition $ℝ^{n} = S_{0} \cup S_{1} \cup S_{2} \cup . . .$ such that $| ℓ \cap S_{i} | \leq 2$ whenever $ℓ \in L_{i}$ . There are generalizations to some other, higher-dimensional subspaces, improving recent results of Erdős, Jackson Mauldin.

Dugundji extenders and retracts on generalized ordered spaces

Gary Gruenhage, Yasunao Hattori, Haruto Ohta (1998)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

For a subspace A of a space X, a linear extender φ:C(A) → C(X) is called an $L_{c h}$ -extender (resp. $L_{c c h}$ -extender) if φ(f)[X] is included in the convex hull (resp. closed convex hull) of f[A] for each f ∈ C(A). Consider the following conditions (i)-(vii) for a closed subset A of a GO-space X: (i) A is a retract of X; (ii) A is a retract of the union of A and all clopen convex components of X; (iii) there is a continuous $L_{c h}$ -extender φ:C(A × Y) → C(X × Y), with respect to both the compact-open topology...

A generalization of Zeeman’s family

Michał Sierakowski (1999)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

E. C. Zeeman [2] described the behaviour of the iterates of the difference equation $x_{n + 1} = R (x_{n}, x_{n - 1}, . . ., x_{n - k}) / Q (x_{n}, x_{n - 1}, . . ., x_{n - k})$ , n ≥ k, R,Q polynomials in the case $k = 1, Q = x_{n - 1}$ and $R = x_{n} + α$ , $x_{1}, x_{2}$ positive, α nonnegative. We generalize his results as well as those of Beukers and Cushman on the existence of an invariant measure in the case when R,Q are affine and k = 1. We prove that the totally invariant set remains residual when the coefficients vary.
