On the Large Cardinal Strength of Normal Moore Space Conjecture
In his seminal 1937 paper, Jones [1] proved the following result about Moore spaces:
Theorem. (Jones) If $2^{\aleph_0}<2^{\aleph_1}$ then all separable normal Moore spaces are metrizable.
Then ...

Universally meager spaces and large cardinals
Definition: (Todorcevic) A subset $A$ of a topological space $X$ is called universally meager if for every Baire space $Y$ and every continuous $f : Y \to X$ which is nowhere constant (not constant on ...

Are there always large discrete families of normal measures?
Let $\kappa$ be a measurable cardinal. We give the Stone space of all ultrafilters on $\kappa$ the usual topology, where each $x\subseteq\kappa$ determines a basic open $[x]=\{U;x\in U\}$. The ...

A realcompact analogue of the Baire category theorem
Let $\frak{m}$ be the least measurable cardinal. A space $X$ is realcompact if it is homeomorphic to a closed subset of some product $\mathbb{R}^I$. Let $X$ be realcompact with $P_\frak{m}$ topology, ...

Is the opposite of the category of $\kappa$-Lindelöf Hausdorff spaces locally presentable?
Gelfand duality tells us that the category of compact Hausdorff spaces (with continuous maps as morphisms) is contravariantly equivalent to the category of commutative, unital $C^\ast$-algebras (with $...

Is the limit of classical Laver tables connected anywhere?
Let $A_{n}=(\{1,\dots,2^{n}\},*_{n})$ be the $n$-th classical Laver table. Then $*_{n}$ is the unique operation on $\{1,\dots,2^{n}\}$ where $x*_{n}(y*_{n}z)=(x*_{n}y)*_{n}(x*_{n}z)$ and
$x*_{n}1=x+1\...
