A semifilter approach to selection principles

Lubomyr Zdomsky (2005)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

In this paper we develop the semifilter approach to the classical Menger and Hurewicz properties and show that the small cardinal 𝔤 is a lower bound of the additivity number of the σ -ideal generated by Menger subspaces of the Baire space, and under 𝔲 < 𝔤 every subset X of the real line with the property Split ( Λ , Λ ) is Hurewicz, and thus it is consistent with ZFC that the property Split ( Λ , Λ ) is preserved by unions of less than 𝔟 subsets of the real line.

A semifilter approach to selection principles II: τ * -covers

Lubomyr Zdomsky (2006)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Developing the idea of assigning to a large cover of a topological space a corresponding semifilter, we show that every Menger topological space has the property fin ( 𝒪 , T * ) provided ( 𝔲 < 𝔤 ) , and every space with the property fin ( 𝒪 , T * ) is Hurewicz provided ( Depth + ( [ ω ] 0 ) 𝔟 ) . Combining this with the results proven in cited literature, we settle all questions whether (it is consistent that) the properties P and Q [do not] coincide, where P and Q run over fin ( 𝒪 , Γ ) , fin ( 𝒪 , T ) , fin ( 𝒪 , T * ) , fin ( 𝒪 , Ω ) , and fin ( 𝒪 , 𝒪 ) .

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

Artur Hideyuki Tomita (2005)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

In 1990, Comfort asked Question 477 in the survey book “Open Problems in Topology”: Is there, for every (not necessarily infinite) cardinal number α 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 remained...

A space C(K) where all nontrivial complemented subspaces have big densities

Piotr Koszmider (2005)

Studia Mathematica

Using the method of forcing we prove that consistently there is a Banach space (of continuous functions on a totally disconnected compact Hausdorff space) of density κ bigger than the continuum where all operators are multiplications by a continuous function plus a weakly compact operator and which has no infinite-dimensional complemented subspaces of density continuum or smaller. In particular no separable infinite-dimensional subspace has a complemented superspace of density continuum or smaller,...
