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 topological groups with a small base and metrizability

Saak Gabriyelyan, Jerzy Kąkol, Arkady Leiderman (2015)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

A (Hausdorff) topological group is said to have a -base if it admits a base of neighbourhoods of the unit, $U_{α} : α \in ℕ^{ℕ}$ , such that $U_{α} \subset U_{β}$ whenever β ≤ α for all $α, β \in ℕ^{ℕ}$ . The class of all metrizable topological groups is a proper subclass of the class $T G_{}$ of all topological groups having a -base. We prove that a topological group is metrizable iff it is Fréchet-Urysohn and has a -base. We also show that any precompact set in a topological group $G \in T G_{}$ is metrizable, and hence G is strictly angelic. We deduce from...

Nonnormality of remainders of some topological groups

Aleksander V. Arhangel&#039;skii, J. van Mill (2016)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

It is known that every remainder of a topological group is Lindelöf or pseudocompact. Motivated by this result, we study in this paper when a topological group $G$ has a normal remainder. In a previous paper we showed that under mild conditions on $G$ , the Continuum Hypothesis implies that if the Čech-Stone remainder $G^{*}$ of $G$ is normal, then it is Lindelöf. Here we continue this line of investigation, mainly for the case of precompact groups. We show that no pseudocompact group, whose weight...

Reflecting character and pseudocharacter

Lucia R. Junqueira, Alberto M. E. Levi (2015)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

We say that a cardinal function $φ$ reflects an infinite cardinal $κ$ , if given a topological space $X$ with $φ (X) \geq κ$ , there exists $Y \in {[X]}^{\leq κ}$ with $φ (Y) \geq κ$ . We investigate some problems, discussed by Hodel and Vaughan in Reflection theorems for cardinal functions, Topology Appl. 100 (2000), 47–66, and Juhász in Cardinal functions and reflection, Topology Atlas Preprint no. 445, 2000, related to the reflection for the cardinal functions character and pseudocharacter. Among other results, we present some new equivalences...

Internally club and approachable for larger structures

John Krueger (2008)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We generalize the notion of a fat subset of a regular cardinal κ to a fat subset of $P_{κ} (X)$ , where κ ⊆ X. Suppose μ < κ, $μ^{< μ} = μ$ , and κ is supercompact. Then there is a generic extension in which κ = μ⁺⁺, and for all regular λ ≥ μ⁺⁺, there are stationarily many N in ${[H (λ)]}^{μ ⁺}$ which are internally club but not internally approachable.

On isomorphism classes of $C (2^{} \oplus [0, α])$ spaces

Elói Medina Galego (2009)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We provide a complete isomorphic classification of the Banach spaces of continuous functions on the compact spaces $2^{} \oplus [0, α]$ , the topological sums of Cantor cubes $2^{}$ , with smaller than the first sequential cardinal, and intervals of ordinal numbers [0,α]. In particular, we prove that it is relatively consistent with ZFC that the only isomorphism classes of $C (2^{} \oplus [0, α])$ spaces with ≥ ℵ₀ and α ≥ ω₁ are the trivial ones. This result leads to some elementary questions on large cardinals.

On ordinals accessible by infinitary languages

Saharon Shelah, Pauli Väisänen, Jouko Väänänen (2005)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let λ be an infinite cardinal number. The ordinal number δ(λ) is the least ordinal γ such that if ϕ is any sentence of $L_{λ ⁺ ω}$ , with a unary predicate D and a binary predicate ≺, and ϕ has a model ℳ with $⟨ D^{ℳ}, ≺^{ℳ} ⟩$ a well-ordering of type ≥ γ, then ϕ has a model ℳ ’ where $⟨ D^{ℳ^{'}}, ≺^{ℳ^{'}} ⟩$ is non-well-ordered. One of the interesting properties of this number is that the Hanf number of $L_{λ ⁺ ω}$ is exactly $ℶ_{δ (λ)}$ . It was proved in [BK71] that if ℵ₀ < λ < κ $a r e r e g u l a r c a r d i n a l n u m b e r s, t h e n t h e r e i s a f o r c i n g e x t e n s i o n, p r e s e r v i n g c o f i n a l i t i e s, s u c h t h a t i n t h e e x t e n s i o n$ 2λ = κ $a n d δ (λ) < λ ⁺ ⁺ .

Then there...

An Isomorphic Classification of $C (2^{} \times [0, α])$ Spaces

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

Similarity:

We present an extension of the classical isomorphic classification of the Banach spaces C([0,α]) of all real continuous functions defined on the nondenumerable intervals of ordinals [0,α]. As an application, we establish the isomorphic classification of the Banach spaces $C (2^{} \times [0, α])$ of all real continuous functions defined on the compact spaces $2^{} \times [0, α]$ , the topological product of the Cantor cubes $2^{}$ with smaller than the first sequential cardinal, and intervals of ordinal numbers [0,α]. Consequently,...

Self-small products of abelian groups

Josef Dvořák, Jan Žemlička (2022)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

Let $A$ and $B$ be two abelian groups. The group $A$ is called $B$ -small if the covariant functor $Hom (A, -)$ commutes with all direct sums $B^{(κ)}$ and $A$ is self-small provided it is $A$ -small. The paper characterizes self-small products applying developed closure properties of the classes of relatively small groups. As a consequence, self-small products of finitely generated abelian groups are described.

A countably cellular topological group all of whose countable subsets are closed need not be $ℝ$ -factorizable

Mihail G. Tkachenko (2023)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

We construct a Hausdorff topological group $G$ such that $ℵ_{1}$ is a precalibre of $G$ (hence, $G$ has countable cellularity), all countable subsets of $G$ are closed and $C$ -embedded in $G$ , but $G$ is not $ℝ$ -factorizable. This solves Problem 8.6.3 from the book “Topological Groups and Related Structures" (2008) in the negative.

Decidability and definability results related to the elementary theory of ordinal multiplication

Alexis Bès (2002)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

The elementary theory of ⟨α;×⟩, where α is an ordinal and × denotes ordinal multiplication, is decidable if and only if $α < ω^{ω}$ . Moreover if $|_{r}$ and $|_{l}$ respectively denote the right- and left-hand divisibility relation, we show that Th $⟨ ω^{ω^{ξ}} {; |}_{r} ⟩$ and Th $⟨ ω^{ξ} {; |}_{l} ⟩$ are decidable for every ordinal ξ. Further related definability results are also presented.

On the Hausdorff Dimension of Topological Subspaces

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

Similarity:

It is shown that every Polish space X with $d i m_{T} X \geq d$ admits a compact subspace Y such that $d i m_{H} Y \geq d$ where $d i m_{T}$ and $d i m_{H}$ denote the topological and Hausdorff dimensions, respectively.

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...

Homeomorphism groups of Sierpiński carpets and Erdős space

Jan J. Dijkstra, Dave Visser (2010)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Erdős space is the “rational” Hilbert space, that is, the set of vectors in ℓ² with all coordinates rational. Erdős proved that is one-dimensional and homeomorphic to its own square × , which makes it an important example in dimension theory. Dijkstra and van Mill found topological characterizations of . Let $M ₙ^{n + 1}$ , n ∈ ℕ, be the n-dimensional Menger continuum in $ℝ^{n + 1}$ , also known as the n-dimensional Sierpiński carpet, and let D be a countable dense subset of $M ₙ^{n + 1}$ . We consider the topological group...

Similarity:

In this note we prove some results in flat and differential $K$ -theory. The first one is a proof of the compatibility of the differential topological index and the flat topological index by a direct computation. The second one is the explicit isomorphisms between Bunke-Schick differential $K$ -theory and Freed-Lott differential $K$ -theory.

Definable orthogonality classes in accessible categories are small

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We lower substantially the strength of the assumptions needed for the validity of certain results in category theory and homotopy theory which were known to follow from Vopěnka’s principle. We prove that the necessary large-cardinal hypotheses depend on the complexity of the formulas defining the given classes, in the sense of the Lévy hierarchy. For example, the statement that, for a class $𝒮$ of morphisms in a locally presentable category $𝒞$ of structures, the orthogonal class of objects...
