A remark on filter regularity.
In this paper, we present a representation theorem for probabilistic metric spaces in general.
Using ♢ , we construct a rigid atomless Boolean algebra that has no uncountable antichain and that admits the elimination of the Malitz quantifier .
In this paper we develop the semifilter approach to the classical Menger and Hurewicz properties and show that the small cardinal is a lower bound of the additivity number of the -ideal generated by Menger subspaces of the Baire space, and under every subset of the real line with the property is Hurewicz, and thus it is consistent with ZFC that the property is preserved by unions of less than subsets of the real line.
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 provided , and every space with the property is Hurewicz provided . Combining this with the results proven in cited literature, we settle all questions whether (it is consistent that) the properties and [do not] coincide, where and run over , , , , and .
In 1990, Comfort asked Question 477 in the survey book “Open Problems in Topology”: Is there, for every (not necessarily infinite) cardinal number , a topological group G such that is countably compact for all cardinals γ < α, but is not countably compact? Hart and van Mill showed in 1991 that α = 2 answers this question affirmatively under . Recently, Tomita showed that every finite cardinal answers Comfort’s question in the affirmative, also from . However, the question has remained...
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,...
