What is known about topological groups of countable spread in ZFC?

A topological space has countable spread if every discrete subspace is at most countable. By Theorem 8.10 in Todorcevic's book "Partition Problems in Topology", PFA implies that each regular space $X$...

Consistency of a strange (choice-wise) set of reals

Consider a set $X\subseteq \mathbb{R}$ such that $X$ is not separable wrt its subspace topology For all $r\in\mathbb{R}$ there exists a sequence $(x_n)_{n\in\omega} \subset X$ converging to $r$ In a ...

When is a filter generated by a (countable) chain?

In any partial order $(P,\leq)$ it is easy to see that every chain generates (i.e., by taking the upwards closure) a filter, and any filter built as a result of the Rasiowa-Sikorski lemma in forcing ...

Compactifications with remainder $[0,\omega_1]$ and convergent sequences

Is the following statement consistent? $(\star)$ Let $K$ be a separable compact Hausdorff space containing the space $[0,\omega_1]$ so that the complement $K\setminus[0,\omega_1]$ is discrete. Then ...
