The reaping and splitting numbers of nice ideals

Rafał Filipów (2014)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We examine the splitting number (B) and the reaping number (B) of quotient Boolean algebras B = (ω)/ℐ where ℐ is an F σ ideal or an analytic P-ideal. For instance we prove that under Martin’s Axiom ((ω)/ℐ) = for all F σ ideals ℐ and for all analytic P-ideals ℐ with the BW property (and one cannot drop the BW assumption). On the other hand under Martin’s Axiom ((ω)/ℐ) = for all F σ ideals and all analytic P-ideals ℐ (in this case we do not need the BW property). We also provide applications of these characteristics...

The Riemann theorem and divergent permutations

Roman Wituła (1996)

Colloquium Mathematicae

In this paper the fundamental algebraic propeties of convergent and divergent permutations of ℕ are presented. A permutation p of ℕ is said to be divergent if at least one conditionally convergent series a n of real terms is rearranged by p to a divergent series a p ( n ) . All other permutations of ℕ are called convergent. Some generalizations of the Riemann theorem about the set of limit points of the partial sums of rearrangements of a given conditionally convergent series are also studied.

The splitting number can be smaller than the matrix chaos number

Heike Mildenberger, Saharon Shelah (2002)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Let χ be the minimum cardinality of a subset of ω 2 that cannot be made convergent by multiplication with a single Toeplitz matrix. By an application of a creature forcing we show that < χ is consistent. We thus answer a question by Vojtáš. We give two kinds of models for the strict inequality. The first is the combination of an ℵ₂-iteration of some proper forcing with adding ℵ₁ random reals. The second kind of models is obtained by adding δ random reals to a model of M A < κ for some δ ∈ [ℵ₁,κ). It...

Three open problems and a conjecture

Huizeng Qin, Ovidiu Furdui (2015)

Open Mathematics

In this paper we solve three open problems and a conjecture related to the calculations of some classes of multiple series posed by Furdui in [1].
