Two strengthenings of "strong measure zero"
A set $X\subseteq\mathbb{R}$ is strong measure zero if, for every sequence $(\epsilon_i)_{i\in\mathbb{N}}$ of positive reals, there is a sequence $(I_i)_{i\in\mathbb{N}}$ of open intervals covering $X$...

The cardinality of projections of subsets of the Hilbert cube by inner products
I have three related questions.
Question 1: Is there a subset $X$ of the Hilbert cube $[0,1]^{\Bbb N}$ of cardinality continuum, such that for each sequence $a\in [0,1]^{\Bbb N}$ with $\sum a_n$ ...

Are σ-sets preserved by Borel isomorphisms?
Recall that a $\sigma$-space is a topological space such that every $F_{\sigma}$-set is $G_{\delta}$-set.
$X$ - $\sigma$-set, if $X$ is a $\sigma$-space and it is subset of real line $R$.
Let $F$ ...

Is it true that $\mathit{MA}(\omega_1)$ iff $\omega_1<\mathfrak{p}$?
Recall that
$\mathfrak{p}=\min\{|F|: F$ is a subfamily of $[\omega]^{\omega}$ with the sfip which has no infinite pseudo-intersection $\}$.
The cardinal $\mathfrak{q}_0$ defined as the smallest ...

Is it consistent that the additivity of Lebesgue null sets is greater than $\frak h$?
This question concerns combinatorial cardinals of the continuum.
Some of these are listed in the following diagram, from Blass's survey on the topic.
There are some additional cardinals, related to ...

Is there a hereditary $\sigma$-space $X$ such that it is not $Q$-space?
A topological space $X$ is called a $\sigma$-space if every $F_{\sigma}$-subset of $X$ is $G_{\delta}$.
A topological space $X$ is called a $Q$-space if any subset of $X$ is $F_{\sigma}$.
Definition. ...

Almost compact sets
Update:
Q1 is answered in the comments.
I think that the usual arguments show that every relatively almost compact set in a space is closed in the space.
Original question:
A set $K$ in a space $X$ ...

An uncountable Baire γ-space without an isolated point exists?
An open cover $U$ of a space $X$ is:
• an $\omega$-cover if $X$ does not belong to $U$ and every finite subset of $X$ is contained in a member of $U$.
• a $\gamma$-cover if it is infinite and each $x\...

Is there a Lusin space $X$ such that ...?
Is there a Lusin space (in the sense Kunen) $X$ such that
$X$ is Tychonoff;
$X$ is a $\gamma$-space ?
Note that if $X$ is metrizable and a $\gamma$-space then it is not Lusin.
In mathematics, a ...

Scales and concentration
Let $S$ be a dominating subset of $[\mathbb{N}]^{\infty}$. Then $S=\{s_{\alpha} : \alpha<\mathfrak{d}\}$ is called a $\mathfrak{d}$-scale if for every $\alpha<\beta<\mathfrak{d}$, $s_{\beta}\...
