Two cases when and are equal
We deal with two cardinal invariants and give conditions on their equality using Shelah's pcf theory.

We prove: Theorem 1. Let κ be an uncountable cardinal. Every κ-Suslin graph G on reals satisfies one of the following two requirements: (I) G admits a κ-Borel colouring by ordinals below κ; (II) there exists a continuous homomorphism (in some cases an embedding) of a certain locally countable Borel graph into G. Theorem 2. In the Solovay model, every OD graph G on reals satisfies one of the following two requirements: (I) G admits an OD colouring by countable ordinals; (II) as above.
A subset of the plane is called a two point set if it intersects any line in exactly two points. We give constructions of two point sets possessing some additional properties. Among these properties we consider: being a Hamel base, belonging to some -ideal, being (completely) nonmeasurable with respect to different -ideals, being a -covering. We also give examples of properties that are not satisfied by any two point set: being Luzin, Sierpiński and Bernstein set. We also consider natural generalizations...
