How to construct a continuous finite additive measure on the natural numbers
Eric van Douwen constructed a whole slew of finitely additive measures on the set of natural numbers, with various shifting and scaling properties in this paper. He discussed how much `choice' was nee …

"Mächtigkeit" versus "Kardinalität"?
Here is Cantor's Beiträge zur Begründung der transfiniten Mengenlehre (Erster Artikel). Read the bottom four lines on the first page: ",Mächtigkeit' oder ,Cardinalzahl' von $M$ nennen wir $\ldots$". T …

Injective choice function for non-separable $T_2$-spaces
Here is a partial answer: if $|X|^{\aleph_0}=|X|$ then the answer is yes.
First take an injective function $F:[X\times X]^\omega\to X$ and then take some
function $G:[X\times X]^\omega\to X$ such that …

Products of Baire spaces
There are even two normed Baire spaces whose product is not Baire. See J. van Mill and R Pol, The Baire category theorem in products of linear spaces and topological groupsn, Topology Appl. 22 (1986) …

$|\mathsf{RO}(X)|$ vs. $|\tau_X|$ for Tychonoff spaces
An answer to the first question: the Niemytzki plane, $N$, is an example. Note first that, in general, if $U$ and $V$ are regular open and $D$ is dense then $U=V$ iff $U\cap D=V\cap D$. From this we f …

Earliest diagonal proof of the uncountability of the reals.
I cited the diagonal proof of the uncountability of the reals as an example of a `common false belief' in mathematics, not because there is anything wrong with the proof but because it is commonly bel …

Who was the first to propose a formal definition of infinity?
In the preface of the second edition of Was sind und was sollen die Zahlen Dedekind mentions another definition of `finite': a set $S$ is called finite if there is a map $\varphi$ from $S$ to itself s …

Independent families of subsets of $\mathbb N$ of size continuum
Let $2^{<\omega}$ be the binary tree and assign to each branch $x$ the family $F_x$ of finite sets that intersect it. If $x_1$, $x_2$, $\ldots$ $x_k$ is a finite set of (distinct) branches then there …

Questions on continuum hypothesis
As the comment says: the roles of Gödel and Cohen are reversed.
One cannot disprove CH using ZF(C), so I take it you simply assume the negation of CH and ask about fields between $\mathbb{Q}$ and $\m …

To answer the explicit question: the extent of every $\Sigma$-product of $\mathbb{N}$ is countable. H. H. Corson showed in Normality in subsets of product spaces, Amer. J. Math 81(1959), 785–796 that …

A strictly descending chain of subalgebras of $P(\omega)/_{\mathrm{fin}}$
There is a family $\{K_X:X\subseteq\mathfrak{c}\}$ of separable compact
zero-dimensional spaces such that there is a continuous surjection of $K_X$
onto $K_Y$ if and only if $X\subseteq Y$.
These spac …

About the existence of a particular kind of "splitting" function on atomless complete Boolea...
I think you are asking too much.
Assume we have such a function and let $a$ be nonzero such that both $a_0$ and $a_1$ are nonzero. Then $b\le a_0$ implies $b_1=0$ and $b\le a_1$ implies $b_0=0$.
If …

Countable support product of Sacks forcings and selective ultrafilters
I'm not allowed to comment yet but your question looks equivalent to having the set $A$ in $\mathrm{HL}_\omega$ (see Laver's paper) belong to the ultrafilter. I do not recall how flexible Laver's proo …
