Can the nowhere dense sets be more complicated than the meager sets?

Suppose $X$ is a completely metrizable space with no isolated points. Let $\mathcal{ND}_X$ denote the ideal of nowhere dense subsets of $X$, and let $\mathcal{M}_X$ denote the ideal of meager subsets ...

Is there a countably infinite closed interval in the lattice of topologies?

Is there an interval of the form $[\sigma,\tau]$ in the lattice of topologies on some set $X$ such that $|[\sigma,\tau]| = \aleph_0$? In other words, do there exist two topologies $\sigma$ and $\tau$ ...

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\...

A question about infinite product of Baire and meager spaces

Proposition 1: For any space $X$ and an infinite cardinal $\kappa$, the product $X^{\kappa}$ is either meager or a Baire space. Does anyone have any suggestions to demonstrate Proposition 1? I was ...

Can the Boolean group $C_2^\omega$ be covered by less than $\mathfrak b$ nowhere dense subgroups?

Let $\mathrm{cov}_H(C_2^\omega)$ be the smallest cardinality of a cover of the Boolean group $C_2^\omega=(\mathbb Z/2\mathbb Z)^\omega$ by closed subgroups of infinite index. It can be shown that $$\...

Can maximal filters of nowhere meager subsets of Cantor space be countably complete?

Let $X$ denote Cantor space. A subset $A\subseteq X$ is nowhere meager if for every non-empty open $U\subseteq X$, we have $A\cap U$ non-meager. We call $\mathcal{F}\subseteq \mathcal{P}(X)$ a maximal ...

Functions preserving almost disjoint of partitions

A collection $\mathcal{A}\subseteq \omega^\omega$ is almost disjoint iff $\bigcap_{X\in \mathcal{A}}X^{-1}(j)$ is finite for all $j\in\omega$. A function $\Gamma:2^\omega\rightarrow 2^\omega$ is ...

Borel hierarchy and tail sets

Let $A$ be a finite set, and let $A^\infty$ be the set of all sequences $(a_n)_{n=1}^\infty$ of elements of $A$. A set $B \subseteq A^\infty$ is a tail set if for every two sequences $\vec a, \vec b \...

Nowhere Baire spaces

Studying the article "Barely Baire spaces" of W. Fleissner and K. Kunen, using stationary sets, they show an example of a Baire space whose square is nowhere Baire (we call a space $X$ nowhere Baire ...

Topological applications of $\mathfrak{p}=\mathfrak{t}$

I'm working on the Malliaris-Shelah's recent result of $\mathfrak{p}=\mathfrak{t}$, but I'm more interested in what possible topological applications can derivate from this equality. Searching in ...

On filters possessing a countable network

Let $\mathcal F$ be a free filter on $\omega$ and $$\mathcal F^+:=\{E\subset \omega:\forall F\in\mathcal F\;E\cap F\ne\emptyset\}.$$ A family $\mathcal N$ of subsets of $\omega$ is called a network ...

"König's theorem" for $T_2$-spaces?

For any topological space $(X,\tau)$ we define a matching to be a collection of non-empty and pairwise disjoint open sets. We define the matching number $\nu(X,\tau)$ to be the smallest cardinal $\...

Is there a model of set theory in which $\mathfrak p< \mathfrak b < \mathfrak q$?

Is there a model of set theory in which $\mathfrak p< \mathfrak b < \mathfrak q$? Here $\mathfrak p$, $\mathfrak b$, $\mathfrak q$ are small uncountable cardinals: $\mathfrak p$ is the ...

Existence of a specific mad family

Preliminaries: Let $[\omega]^{\omega}$ be the set of all infinite subsets of $\omega$, the first countable ordinal (the set of the natural numbers). We say that $\mathcal A\subset [\omega]^{\omega}$...

Baire category of tall ideals

Problem. Is it consistent with ZFC that $\mathfrak t=\omega_1$ and each $\omega_1$-generated tall $P$-ideal is of the second Baire category? (Asked 01.10.2016 by David Chodounsky at page 20 of Volume ...

Order homomorphism functions on $\omega_1$

I posted the following question more than two years ago on MO (and then reposted on MSE), but the answer remains incomplete, so I thought I would rephrase it a bit (to make the statement clearer) and ...
