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.

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...

Bohr compactifications of discrete structures

Joan Hart, Kenneth Kunen (1999)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We prove the following theorem: Given a⊆ω and 1 ≤ α < ω 1 C K , if for some η < ℵ 1 and all u ∈ WO of length η, a is Σ α 0 ( u ) , then a is Σ α 0 .We use this result to give a new, forcing-free, proof of Leo Harrington’s theorem: Σ 1 1 -Turing-determinacy implies the existence of 0 .

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...

Almost all submaximal groups are paracompact and σ-discrete

O. Alas, I. Protasov, M. Tkačenko, V. Tkachuk, R. Wilson, I. Yaschenko (1998)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We prove that any topological group of a non-measurable cardinality is hereditarily paracompact and strongly σ-discrete as soon as it is submaximal. Consequently, such a group is zero-dimensional. Examples of uncountable maximal separable spaces are constructed in ZFC.
