Čech functions and the axiom of choice

A Čech closure function on $\omega$ is a function $\varphi:\mathcal P(\omega)\to\mathcal P(\omega)$ such that (i) $X\subseteq\varphi(X)$ for all $X\subseteq\omega$, (ii) $\varphi(\emptyset)=\emptyset$,...

Undetermined Banach-Mazur games: beyond DC

This question is a follow-up to this one; see that question for the definition of Banach-Mazur games. There James Hanson showed that ZF+DC proves that there is an undetermined Banach-Mazur game; ...

A $\mathsf{ZF}$ example of two Baire spaces whose product is not Baire?

Motivated by this question I'm looking for a pair of Baire topological spaces whose product is not Baire and whose construction does not need the axiom of choice. The example of such spaces I'm ...

Polish transversals

A subset of $X$ an indecomposable continuum $Y$ is called a composant transversal if $X$ has exactly one point from each composant of $Y$. So a continuum has a composant transversal precisely when ...

Consistency of a strange (choice-wise) set of reals, pt. 2

This is a follow-up on this question. Consider a set $X\subseteq \mathbb{R}$ such that $X$ is not separable wrt its subspace topology Every countable family of non-empty pairwise disjoint subsets of $...

Compactification of Tychonoff spaces without full axiom of choice

If $X$ is a Tychonoff space, then using the Tychonoff theorem and thus the full axiom of choice, it follows that $X$ admits a Hausdorff compactification. My question is : what remains true if we do ...
