On two recurrence problems

Michael Boshernitzan, Eli Glasner (2009)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We review some aspects of recurrence in topological dynamics and focus on two open problems. The first is an old one concerning the relation between Poincaré and Birkhoff recurrence; the second, due to the first author, is about moving recurrence. We provide a partial answer to a topological version of the moving recurrence problem.

On universality of countable and weak products of sigma hereditarily disconnected spaces

Taras Banakh, Robert Cauty (2001)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Suppose a metrizable separable space Y is sigma hereditarily disconnected, i.e., it is a countable union of hereditarily disconnected subspaces. We prove that the countable power X ω of any subspace X ⊂ Y is not universal for the class ₂ of absolute G δ σ -sets; moreover, if Y is an absolute F σ δ -set, then X ω contains no closed topological copy of the Nagata space = W(I,ℙ); if Y is an absolute G δ -set, then X ω contains no closed copy of the Smirnov space σ = W(I,0). On the other hand, the countable power X ω of...

On universality of finite powers of locally path-connected meager spaces

Taras Banakh, Robert Cauty (2005)

Colloquium Mathematicae

It is shown that for every integer n the (2n+1)th power of any locally path-connected metrizable space of the first Baire category is 𝓐₁[n]-universal, i.e., contains a closed topological copy of each at most n-dimensional metrizable σ-compact space. Also a one-dimensional σ-compact absolute retract X is found such that the power X^{n+1} is 𝓐₁[n]-universal for every n.

On Weakly Measurable Functions

Szymon Żeberski (2005)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

We show that if T is an uncountable Polish space, 𝓧 is a metrizable space and f:T→ 𝓧 is a weakly Baire measurable function, then we can find a meagre set M ⊆ T such that f[T∖M] is a separable space. We also give an example showing that "metrizable" cannot be replaced by "normal".
