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.

A dichotomy theorem for mono-unary algebras

Su Gao (2000)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We study the isomorphism relation of invariant Borel classes of countable mono-unary algebras and prove a strong dichotomy theorem.

Borel extensions of Baire measures

J. Aldaz (1997)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We show that in a countably metacompact space, if a Baire measure admits a Borel extension, then it admits a regular Borel extension. We also prove that under the special axiom ♣ there is a Dowker space which is quasi-Mařík but not Mařík, answering a question of H. Ohta and K. Tamano, and under P(c), that there is a Mařík Dowker space, answering a question of W. Adamski. We answer further questions of H. Ohta and K. Tamano by showing that the union of a Mařík space and a compact space...

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.

Two dichotomy theorems on colourability of non-analytic graphs

Vladimir Kanovei (1997)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We prove:  Theorem 1. Let κ be an uncountable cardinal. Every κ-Suslin graph G on reals satisfies one of the following two requirements: (I) G admits a κ-Borel colouring by ordinals below κ; (II) there exists a continuous homomorphism (in some cases an embedding) of a certain locally countable Borel graph G 0 into G.  Theorem 2. In the Solovay model, every OD graph G on reals satisfies one of the following two requirements: (I) G admits an OD colouring by countable ordinals; (II) as above. ...

The σ-ideal of closed smooth sets does not have the covering property

Carlos Uzcátegui (1996)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We prove that the σ-ideal I(E) (of closed smooth sets with respect to a non-smooth Borel equivalence relation E) does not have the covering property. In fact, the same holds for any σ-ideal containing the closed transversals with respect to an equivalence relation generated by a countable group of homeomorphisms. As a consequence we show that I(E) does not have a Borel basis.
