We consider the Borel structures on ordinals generated by their order topologies and provide a complete classification of all ordinals up to Borel isomorphism in ZFC. We also consider the same classification problem in the context of AD and give a partial answer for ordinals ≤ω₂.
A family is constructed of cardinality equal to the continuum, whose members are totally incomparable hereditarily indecomposable Banach spaces.
We prove: 1) Every Baire measure on the Kojman-Shelah Dowker space admits a Borel extension. 2) If the continuum is not real-valued-measurable then every Baire measure on M. E. Rudin's Dowker space admits a Borel extension. Consequently, Balogh's space remains the only candidate to be a ZFC counterexample to the measure extension problem of the three presently known ZFC Dowker spaces.
The aim of this paper is to define and study cardinal (direct) and ordinal operations of addition, multiplication, and exponentiation for -ary relational systems. -ary ordered sets are defined as special -ary relational systems by means of properties that seem to suitably generalize reflexivity, antisymmetry, and transitivity from the case of or 3. The class of -ary ordered sets is then closed under the cardinal and ordinal operations.
