A completion of is a field

José E. Marcos (2003)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We define various ring sequential convergences on and . We describe their properties and properties of their convergence completions. In particular, we define a convergence 𝕃 1 on by means of a nonprincipal ultrafilter on the positive prime numbers such that the underlying set of the completion is the ultraproduct of the prime finite fields / ( p ) . Further, we show that ( , 𝕃 1 * ) is sequentially precompact but fails to be strongly sequentially precompact; this solves a problem posed by D. Dikranjan.

A converse of the Arsenin–Kunugui theorem on Borel sets with σ-compact sections

P. Holický, Miroslav Zelený (2000)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Let f be a Borel measurable mapping of a Luzin (i.e. absolute Borel metric) space L onto a metric space M such that f(F) is a Borel subset of M if F is closed in L. We show that then f - 1 ( y ) is a K σ set for all except countably many y ∈ M, that M is also Luzin, and that the Borel classes of the sets f(F), F closed in L, are bounded by a fixed countable ordinal. This gives a converse of the classical theorem of Arsenin and Kunugui. As a particular case we get Taĭmanov’s theorem saying that the image of...

A countable dense homogeneous set of reals of size ℵ₁

Ilijas Farah, Michael Hrušák, Carlos Azarel Martínez Ranero (2005)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We prove there is a countable dense homogeneous subspace of ℝ of size ℵ₁. The proof involves an absoluteness argument using an extension of the L ω ω ( Q ) logic obtained by adding predicates for Borel sets.
