Parametrized Cichoń's diagram and small sets

Janusz Pawlikowski, Ireneusz Recław (1995)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We parametrize Cichoń’s diagram and show how cardinals from Cichoń’s diagram yield classes of small sets of reals. For instance, we show that there exist subsets N and M of $w^{w} \times 2^{w}$ and continuous functions $e, f : w^{w} \to w^{w}$ such that • N is $G_{δ}$ and $N_{x} : x \in w^{w}$ , the collection of all vertical sections of N, is a basis for the ideal of measure zero subsets of $2^{w}$ ; • M is $F_{σ}$ and $M_{x} : x \in w^{w}$ is a basis for the ideal of meager subsets of $2^{w}$ ; • $\forall x, y N_{e (x)} \subseteq N_{y} \Rightarrow M_{x} \subseteq M_{f (y)}$ . From this we derive that for a separable metric space X, •if for all Borel (resp. $G_{δ}$ ) sets...

Growth of the product $\prod_{j = 1}^{n} (1 - x^{a_{j}})$

J. P. Bell, P. B. Borwein, L. B. Richmond (1998)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

We estimate the maximum of $\prod_{j = 1}^{n} | 1 - x^{a_{j}} |$ on the unit circle where 1 ≤ a₁ ≤ a₂ ≤ ... is a sequence of integers. We show that when $a_{j}$ is $j^{k}$ or when $a_{j}$ is a quadratic in j that takes on positive integer values, the maximum grows as exp(cn), where c is a positive constant. This complements results of Sudler and Wright that show exponential growth when $a_{j}$ is j. In contrast we show, under fairly general conditions, that the maximum is less than $2^{n} / n^{r}$ , where r is an arbitrary positive number. One consequence...

Analytic determinacy and 0# A forcing-free proof of Harrington’s theorem

Ramez Sami (1999)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We prove the following theorem: Given a⊆ω and $1 \leq α < ω_{1}^{C K}$ , 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 $0$ .

On ergodicity of some cylinder flows

Krzysztof Frączek (2000)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We study ergodicity of cylinder flows of the form $T_{f} : T \times ℝ \to T \times ℝ$ , $T_{f} (x, y) = (x + α, y + f (x))$ , where $f : T \to ℝ$ is a measurable cocycle with zero integral. We show a new class of smooth ergodic cocycles. Let k be a natural number and let f be a function such that $D^{k} f$ is piecewise absolutely continuous (but not continuous) with zero sum of jumps. We show that if the points of discontinuity of $D^{k} f$ have some good properties, then $T_{f}$ is ergodic. Moreover, there exists $ε_{f} > 0$ such that if $v : T \to ℝ$ is a function with zero integral such that $D^{k} v$ is of bounded...

Normal numbers and subsets of N with given densities

Haseo Ki, Tom Linton (1994)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

For X ⊆ [0,1], let $D_{X}$ denote the collection of subsets of ℕ whose densities lie in X. Given the exact location of X in the Borel or difference hierarchy, we exhibit the exact location of $D_{X}$ . For α ≥ 3, X is properly $D_{ξ} (Π_{α}^{0})$ iff $D_{X}$ is properly $D_{ξ} (Π_{1 + α}^{0})$ . We also show that for every nonempty set X ⊆[0,1], $D_{X}$ is $Π_{3}^{0}$ -hard. For each nonempty $Π_{2}^{0}$ set X ⊆ [0,1], in particular for X = x, $D_{X}$ is $Π_{3}^{0}$ -complete. For each n ≥ 2, the collection of real numbers that are normal or simply normal to base n is $Π_{3}^{0}$ -complete. Moreover,...

A note on strange nonchaotic attractors

Gerhard Keller (1996)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

For a class of quasiperiodically forced time-discrete dynamical systems of two variables (θ,x) ∈ $T^{1} \times ℝ_{+}$ with nonpositive Lyapunov exponents we prove the existence of an attractor Γ̅ with the following properties: 1. Γ̅ is the closure of the graph of a function x = ϕ(θ). It attracts Lebesgue-a.e. starting point in $T^{1} \times ℝ_{+}$ . The set θ:ϕ(θ) ≠ 0 is meager but has full 1-dimensional Lebesgue measure. 2. The omega-limit of Lebesgue-a.e point in $T^{1} \times ℝ_{+}$ is $Γ ̅$ , but for a residual set of points in $T^{1} \times ℝ_{+}$ the omega...

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.

Sierpiński's hierarchy and locally Lipschitz functions

Michał Morayne (1995)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let Z be an uncountable Polish space. It is a classical result that if I ⊆ ℝ is any interval (proper or not), f: I → ℝ and $α < ω_{1}$ then f ○ g ∈ $B_{α} (Z)$ for every $g \in B_{α} (Z) \cap^{Z} I$ if and only if f is continuous on I, where $B_{α} (Z)$ stands for the αth class in Baire’s classification of Borel measurable functions. We shall prove that for the classes $S_{α} (Z) (α > 0)$ in Sierpiński’s classification of Borel measurable functions the analogous result holds where the condition that f is continuous is replaced by the condition that f is locally...

A note on Tsirelson type ideals

Boban Veličković (1999)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Using Tsirelson’s well-known example of a Banach space which does not contain a copy of $c_{0}$ or $l_{p}$ , for p ≥ 1, we construct a simple Borel ideal $I_{T}$ such that the Borel cardinalities of the quotient spaces $P (ℕ) / I_{T}$ and $P (ℕ) / I_{0}$ are incomparable, where $I_{0}$ is the summable ideal of all sets A ⊆ ℕ such that $\sum_{n \in A} 1 / (n + 1) < \infty$ . This disproves a “trichotomy” conjecture for Borel ideals proposed by Kechris and Mazur.

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...

Borel partitions of unity and lower Carathéodory multifunctions

S. Srivastava (1995)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We prove the existence of Carathéodory selections and representations of a closed convex valued, lower Carathéodory multifunction from a set A in $A (ℰ \otimes ℬ (X))$ into a separable Banach space Y, where ℰ is a sub-σ-field of the Borel σ-field ℬ(E) of a Polish space E, X is a Polish space and A is the Suslin operation. As applications we obtain random versions of results on extensions of continuous functions and fixed points of multifunctions. Such results are useful in the study of random differential...

Strongly meager sets and subsets of the plane

Janusz Pawlikowski (1998)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let $X \subseteq 2^{w}$ . Consider the class of all Borel $F \subseteq X \times 2^{w}$ with null vertical sections $F_{x}$ , x ∈ X. We show that if for all such F and all null Z ⊆ X, $\cup_{x \in Z} F_{x}$ is null, then for all such F, $\cup_{x \in X} F_{x} \neq 2^{w}$ . The theorem generalizes the fact that every Sierpiński set is strongly meager and was announced in [P].

On a discrete version of the antipodal theorem

Krzysztof Oleszkiewicz (1996)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

The classical theorem of Borsuk and Ulam [2] says that for any continuous mapping $f : S^{k} \to ℝ^{k}$ there exists a point $x \in S^{k}$ such that f(-x) = f(x). In this note a discrete version of the antipodal theorem is proved in which $S^{k}$ is replaced by the set of vertices of a high-dimensional cube equipped with Hamming’s metric. In place of equality we obtain some optimal estimates of $i n f_{x} | | f (x) - f (- x) | |$ which were previously known (as far as the author knows) only for f linear (cf. [1]).

A complement to the theory of equivariant finiteness obstructions

Paweł Andrzejewski (1996)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

It is known ([1], [2]) that a construction of equivariant finiteness obstructions leads to a family $w_{α}^{H} (X)$ of elements of the groups $K_{0} (ℤ [π_{0} {(W H (X))}_{α}^{*}])$ . We prove that every family $w_{α}^{H}$ of elements of the groups $K_{0} (ℤ [π_{0} {(W H (X))}_{α}^{*}])$ can be realized as the family of equivariant finiteness obstructions $w_{α}^{H} (X)$ of an appropriate finitely dominated G-complex X. As an application of this result we show the natural equivalence of the geometric construction of equivariant finiteness obstruction ([5], [6]) and equivariant generalization of Wall’s...

Co-H-structures on equivariant Moore spaces

Martin Arkowitz, Marek Golasiński (1994)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let G be a finite group, $𝕆_{G}$ the category of canonical orbits of G and $A : 𝕆_{G} \to 𝔸$ b a contravariant functor to the category of abelian groups. We investigate the set of G-homotopy classes of comultiplications of a Moore G-space of type (A,n) where n ≥ 2 and prove that if such a Moore G-space X is a cogroup, then it has a unique comultiplication if dim X < 2n - 1. If dim X = 2n-1, then the set of comultiplications of X is in one-one correspondence with $E x t^{n - 1} (A, A \otimes A)$ . Then the case $G = ℤ_{p^{k}}$ leads to an example of...

Rigid $ℵ_{ε}$ -saturated models of superstable theories

Ziv Shami, Saharon Shelah (1999)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

In a countable superstable NDOP theory, the existence of a rigid $ﬡ_{ε}$ -saturated model implies the existence of $2^{λ}$ rigid $ﬡ_{ε}$ -saturated models of power λ for every $λ > 2^{ﬡ_{0}}$ .
