Cylinder problem
We consider a triple ⟨E₀,E₁,E₂⟩ of equivalence relations on ℝ² and investigate the possibility of decomposing the plane into three sets ℝ² = S₀ ∪ S₁ ∪ S₂ in such a way that each intersects each -class in finitely many points. Many results in the literature, starting with a famous theorem of Sierpiński, show that for certain triples the existence of such a decomposition is equivalent to the continuum hypothesis. We give a characterization in ZFC of the triples for which the decomposition exists....
We investigate the relative consistency and independence of statements which imply the existence of various kinds of dense orders, including dense linear orders. We study as well the relationship between these statements and others involving partition properties. Since we work in ZF (i.e. without the Axiom of Choice), we also analyze the role that some weaker forms of AC play in this context
Une partie de est appelée une classe de Vapnik-Cervonenkis si la croissance de la fonction est polynomiale; ces classes se trouvent être utiles en Statistique et en Calcul des Probabilités (voir par exemple Vapnik, Cervonenkis [V.N. Vapnik, A.YA. Cervonenkis, Theor. Prob. Appl., 16 (1971), 264-280], Dudley [R.M. Dudley, Ann. of Prob., 6 (1978), 899-929]).Le présent travail est un essai de synthèse sur les classes de Vapnik-Cervonenkis. Mais il contient aussi beaucoup de résultats nouveaux,...

Given a Boolean algebra 𝔹 and an embedding e:𝔹 → 𝓟(ℕ)/fin we consider the possibility of extending each or some automorphism of 𝔹 to the whole 𝓟(ℕ)/fin. Among other things, we show, assuming CH, that for a wide class of Boolean algebras there are embeddings for which no non-trivial automorphism can be extended.
We show that some classes of small sets are topological versions of some combinatorial properties. We also give a characterization of spaces for which White has a winning strategy in the point-open game. We show that every Lusin set is undetermined, which solves a problem of Galvin.
For any given ε > 0 we construct an ε-exhaustive normalized pathological submeasure. To this end we use potentially exhaustive submeasures and barriers of finite subsets of ℕ.
In this paper we present factorization theorems for strong maps between matroids of arbitrary cardinality. Moreover, we present a new way to prove the factorization theorem for strong maps between finite matroids.
