Counting models of set theory

Ali Enayat (2002)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let T denote a completion of ZF. We are interested in the number μ(T) of isomorphism types of countable well-founded models of T. Given any countable order type τ, we are also interested in the number μ(T,τ) of isomorphism types of countable models of T whose ordinals have order type τ. We prove: (1) Suppose ZFC has an uncountable well-founded model and $κ \in ω \cup ℵ ₀, ℵ ₁, 2^{ℵ ₀}$ . There is some completion T of ZF such that μ(T) = κ. (2) If α <ω₁ and μ(T,α) > ℵ₀, then $μ (T, α) = 2^{ℵ ₀}$ . (3) If α < ω₁ and T ⊢ V ≠ OD,...

A solution to Comfort's question on the countable compactness of powers of a topological group

Artur Hideyuki Tomita (2005)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

In 1990, Comfort asked Question 477 in the survey book “Open Problems in Topology”: Is there, for every (not necessarily infinite) cardinal number $α \leq 2^{}$ , a topological group G such that $G^{γ}$ is countably compact for all cardinals γ < α, but $G^{α}$ is not countably compact? Hart and van Mill showed in 1991 that α = 2 answers this question affirmatively under $M A_{c o u n t a b l e}$ . Recently, Tomita showed that every finite cardinal answers Comfort’s question in the affirmative, also from $M A_{c o u n t a b l e}$ . However, the question has...

On families of Lindelöf and related subspaces of $2^{ω ₁}$

Lúcia Junqueira, Piotr Koszmider (2001)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We consider the families of all subspaces of size ω₁ of $2^{ω ₁}$ (or of a compact zero-dimensional space X of weight ω₁ in general) which are normal, have the Lindelöf property or are closed under limits of convergent ω₁-sequences. Various relations among these families modulo the club filter in ${[X]}^{ω ₁}$ are shown to be consistently possible. One of the main tools is dealing with a subspace of the form X ∩ M for an elementary submodel M of size ω₁. Various results with this flavor are obtained. Another...

Generic extensions of models of ZFC

Lev Bukovský (2017)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

The paper contains a self-contained alternative proof of my Theorem in Characterization of generic extensions of models of set theory, Fund. Math. 83 (1973), 35–46, saying that for models $M \subseteq N$ of ZFC with same ordinals, the condition $A p r_{M, N} (κ)$ implies that $N$ is a $κ$ -C.C. generic extension of $M$ .

An observation on spaces with a zeroset diagonal

Wei-Feng Xuan (2020)

Mathematica Bohemica

Similarity:

We say that a space $X$ has the discrete countable chain condition (DCCC for short) if every discrete family of nonempty open subsets of $X$ is countable. A space $X$ has a zeroset diagonal if there is a continuous mapping $f : X^{2} \to [0, 1]$ with $Δ_{X} = f^{- 1} (0)$ , where $Δ_{X} = {(x, x) : x \in X}$ . In this paper, we prove that every first countable DCCC space with a zeroset diagonal has cardinality at most $𝔠$ .

Characterizing the powerset by a complete (Scott) sentence

Ioannis Souldatos (2013)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

This paper is part II of a study on cardinals that are characterizable by a Scott sentence, continuing previous work of the author. A cardinal κ is characterized by a Scott sentence $ϕ_{ℳ}$ if $ϕ_{ℳ}$ has a model of size κ, but no model of size κ⁺. The main question in this paper is the following: Are the characterizable cardinals closed under the powerset operation? We prove that if $ℵ_{β}$ is characterized by a Scott sentence, then $2^{ℵ_{β + β ₁}}$ is (homogeneously) characterized by a Scott sentence, for all 0 <...

Preservation of properties of a map by forcing

Akira Iwasa (2022)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

Let $f : X \to Y$ be a continuous map such as an open map, a closed map or a quotient map. We study under what circumstances $f$ remains an open, closed or quotient map in forcing extensions.

Spaces with star countable extent

A. D. Rojas-Sánchez, Angel Tamariz-Mascarúa (2016)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

For a topological property $P$ , we say that a space $X$ is star $P$ if for every open cover $𝒰$ of the space $X$ there exists $A \subset X$ such that $s t (A, 𝒰) = X$ . We consider space with star countable extent establishing the relations between the star countable extent property and the properties star Lindelöf and feebly Lindelöf. We describe some classes of spaces in which the star countable extent property is equivalent to either the Lindelöf property or separability. An example is given of a Tychonoff star Lindelöf...

A new Lindelöf space with points $G_{δ}$

Alan S. Dow (2015)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

We prove that $♦^{*}$ implies there is a zero-dimensional Hausdorff Lindelöf space of cardinality $2^{ℵ_{1}}$ which has points $G_{δ}$ . In addition, this space has the property that it need not be Lindelöf after countably closed forcing.

Combinatorics of open covers (VII): Groupability

Ljubiša D. R. Kočinac, Marion Scheepers (2003)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We use Ramseyan partition relations to characterize: ∙ the classical covering property of Hurewicz; ∙ the covering property of Gerlits and Nagy; ∙ the combinatorial cardinal numbers and add(ℳ ). Let X be a $T_{31 / 2}$ -space. In [9] we showed that $C_{p} (X)$ has countable strong fan tightness as well as the Reznichenko property if, and only if, all finite powers of X have the Gerlits-Nagy covering property. Now we show that the following are equivalent: 1. $C_{p} (X)$ has countable fan tightness and the Reznichenko...

Another ⋄-like principle

Michael Hrušák (2001)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

A new ⋄-like principle $⋄_{}$ consistent with the negation of the Continuum Hypothesis is introduced and studied. It is shown that $\neg ⋄_{}$ is consistent with CH and that in many models of = ω₁ the principle $⋄_{}$ holds. As $⋄_{}$ implies that there is a MAD family of size ℵ₁ this provides a partial answer to a question of J. Roitman who asked whether = ω₁ implies = ω₁. It is proved that $⋄_{}$ holds in any model obtained by adding a single Laver real, answering a question of J. Brendle who asked whether = ω₁...

More reflections on compactness

Lúcia R. Junqueira, Franklin D. Tall (2003)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We consider the question of when $X_{M} = X$ , where $X_{M}$ is the elementary submodel topology on X ∩ M, especially in the case when $X_{M}$ is compact.

A note on star Lindelöf, first countable and normal spaces

Wei-Feng Xuan (2017)

Mathematica Bohemica

Similarity:

A topological space $X$ is said to be star Lindelöf if for any open cover $𝒰$ of $X$ there is a Lindelöf subspace $A \subset X$ such that $St (A, 𝒰) = X$ . The “extent” $e (X)$ of $X$ is the supremum of the cardinalities of closed discrete subsets of $X$ . We prove that under $V = L$ every star Lindelöf, first countable and normal space must have countable extent. We also obtain an example under $MA + \neg CH$ , which shows that a star Lindelöf, first countable and normal space may not have countable extent.

Initially $κ$ -compact spaces for large $κ$

Stavros Christodoulou (1999)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

This work presents some cardinal inequalities in which appears the closed pseudo-character, $ψ_{c}$ , of a space. Using one of them — $ψ_{c} (X) \leq 2^{d (X)}$ for $T_{2}$ spaces — we improve, from $T_{3}$ to $T_{2}$ spaces, the well-known result that initially $κ$ -compact $T_{3}$ spaces are $λ$ -bounded for all cardinals $λ$ such that $2^{λ} \leq κ$ . And then, using an idea of A. Dow, we prove that initially $κ$ -compact $T_{2}$ spaces are in fact compact for $κ = 2^{F (X)}$ , $2^{s (X)}$ , $2^{t (X)}$ , $2^{χ (X)}$ , $2^{ψ_{c} (X)}$ or $κ = max {τ^{+}, τ^{< τ}}$ , where $τ > t (p, X)$ for all $p \in X$ .
