Selective Covering Properties of Product Spaces, II: Gamma Spaces SELECTIVE COVERING PROPERTIES OF PRODUCT SPACES, II: γ SPACES ARNOLD W. MILLER, BOAZ TSABAN, AND LYUBOMYR ZDOMSKYY Abstract. We study productive properties of γ spaces, and their relation to other, classic and modern, selective covering properties. Among other things, we prove the following results: (1) Solving a problem of F. Jordan, we show that for every unbounded tower set X ⊆ R of cardinality ℵ1, the space Cp(X) is productively Fr´echet–Urysohn. In particular, the set X is productively γ. (2) Solving problems of Scheepers and Weiss, and proving a conjecture of Babinkostova– Scheepers, we prove that, assuming the Continuum Hypothesis, there are γ spaces whose product is not even Menger. (3) Solving a problem of Scheepers–Tall, we show that the properties γ and Gerlits–Nagy (*) are preserved by Cohen forcing. Moreover, every Hurewicz space that remains Hurewicz in a Cohen extension must be Rothberger (and thus (*)). We apply our results to solve a large number of additional problems, and use Arhangel’ski˘ı duality to obtain results concerning local properties of function spaces and countable topo- logical groups. 1. Introduction For a Tychonoff space X, let Cp(X) be the space of continuous real-valued functions on X, endowed with the topology of pointwise convergence, that is, the topology inherited from the Tychonoff product RX . In their seminal paper [14], Gerlits and Nagy characterized the property that the space Cp(X) is Fr´echet–Urysohn—that every point in the closure of a set arXiv:1310.8622v4 [math.LO] 10 Oct 2018 is the limit of a sequence of elements from that set—in terms of a covering property of the domain space X. We study the behavior of this covering property under taking products with spaces possessing related covering properties. By space we mean an infinite topological space. Whenever the space Cp(X) is considered, we tacitly restrict our scope to Tychonoff spaces. The concrete examples constructed in this paper are all subsets of the real line. 1991 Mathematics Subject Classification. Primary: 26A03, Secondary: 03E75, 03E17. Key words and phrases.

The framework of selection principles was introduced by Scheepers in [29] to study, in a uniform manner, a variety of properties introduced in several mathematical contexts, since the early 1920’s. Detailed introductions are available in [19, 34, 43, 28]. We provide here a brief one, adapted from [26]. Let X be a space. We say that U is a cover of X if X = U, but X is not covered by any single member of U. Let O(X) be the family of all openS covers of X. When X is considered as a subspace of a larger space Y , the family O(X) consists of the covers of X by open subsets of Y . Define the following subfamilies of O(X): U ∈ Ω(X) if each finite subset of X is contained in some member of U. U ∈ Γ(X) if U is infinite, and each element of X is contained in all but finitely many members of U. Some of the following statements may hold for families A and B of covers of X. A ( B ): Each member of A contains a member of B. S1(A , B): For each sequence h Un ∈ A : n ∈ N i, there is a selection h Un ∈ Un : n ∈ N i such that {Un : n ∈ N} ∈ B. Sfin(A , B): For each sequence h Un ∈ A : n ∈ N i, there is a selection of finite sets N B hFn ⊆ Un : n ∈ i such that n Fn ∈ . U A B A N fin( , ): For each sequence hS Un ∈ : n ∈ i, where no Un contains a finite sub- cover, there is a selection of finite sets hFn ⊆ Un : n ∈ N i such that { Fn : n ∈ N} ∈ B. S We say, e.g., that X satisfies S1(O, O) if the statement S1(O(X), O(X)) holds. This way, the notation S1(O, O) stands for a property (or a class) of spaces. An analogous conven- tion is followed for all other selection principles and families of covers. Each nontrivial property among these properties, where A and B range over O, Ω and Γ, is equivalent to one in Figure 1 [29, 18]. Some of the equivalences request that the space be Lindel¨of. All spaces constructed in this paper to satisfy properties in the Scheepers Diagram are Lindel¨of. Moreover, they are all subspaces of R. In the Scheepers Diagram, an arrow denotes implication. We indicate below each class P its critical cardinality non(P ), the minimal cardinality of a space not in the class. These cardinals are all combinatorial cardinal characteristics of the continuum, details about which are available in [8]. Following the convention in the field of selection principles, influenced by the monograph [5], we deviate from the notation in [8] by denoting the family of meager (Baire first category) sets in R by M. The properties Ufin(O, Γ), Sfin(O, O) and S1(O, O) were first studied by Hurewicz, Menger and Rothberger, respectively. γ spaces were introduced by Gerlits and Nagy [14] as the Ω spaces satisfying ( Γ ). Gerlits and Nagy proved that, for a space X, the space Cp(X) is Fr´echet–Urysohn if and only if X is a γ space.

The Scheepers Diagram We also consider the classes of covers B, BΩ and BΓ, defined as O, Ω and Γ were defined, replacing open cover by countable Borel cover. The properties thus obtained have rich history of their own [38], and the Borel variants of the studied properties are strictly stronger than the open ones [38]. Many additional—classic and new—properties are studied in relation to the Scheepers Diagram. Definition 1.1. Let P be a property (or class) of spaces. A space X is productively P if X × Y has the property P for each space Y satisfying P . In Section 2 we construct productively γ spaces in R from a weak hypothesis. In Section 3 we construct, using the Continuum Hypothesis, two γ spaces in R whose product is not Menger. In Section 4 we use our results to solve a large number of problems, from the literature and from the folklore of selection principles. In Section 5 we determine the effect of Cohen forcing on γ spaces, Hurewicz spaces, and Gerlits–Nagy (*) spaces. In Section 6 we use our results together with Cp theory, to obtain new results concerning local and density properties of function spaces. In the last section, we prove that every product of an unbounded tower set and a Sierpi´nski set satisfies S1(Γ, Γ). 2. Productively γ spaces in R Recall the Gerlits–Nagy Theorem that a space X is a γ space if and only if the space Cp(X) is Fr´echet–Urysohn. In his papers [16, 17], F. Jordan studied the property that Cp(X) is productively Fr´echet–Urysohn. (In this case, it is said in [16, 17] that the space X is a productive γ-space. Since this terminology is admitted in [17] to be confusing, we avoid 4 A.MILLER,B.TSABAN,ANDL.ZDOMSKYY it here.) We begin with a short proof of a result of Jordan. In the proof, and later on, we use the following observations. Lemma 2.1. Let P be a class of spaces that is hereditary for closed subsets and is preserved by finite powers. Then for all spaces X and Y such that the disjoint union space X ⊔ Y satisfies P , the product space X ×Y satisfies P , too. In particular, if P is preserved by finite unions, then it is preserved by finite products. Proof. We prove the first assertion. As P is preserved by finite powers, the space (X ⊔ Y )2 satisfies P . As X × Y is a closed subset of (X ⊔ Y )2, it satisfies P , too. If the disjoint union space X ⊔ Y is a γ space, then so is the product space X × Y [23, Proposition 2.3]. Corollary 2.2. Let X and Y be spaces. The disjoint union space X ⊔ Y is a γ space if and only if the product space X × Y is. The following observation is made in [16, Corollary 24]. Proposition 2.3 (Jordan). Let X be a space. If the space Cp(X) is productively Fr´echet– Urysohn, then the space X is productively γ. Proof. Let Y be a γ space. To prove that X × Y is a γ space, we may assume that the spaces X and Y are disjoint. By the Gerlits–Nagy Theorem, the space Cp(Y ) is Fr´echet– Urysohn. Thus, the space Cp(X ⊔ Y ) = Cp(X) × Cp(Y ) is Fr´echet–Urysohn. Applying the Gerlits–Nagy Theorem again, we have that X ⊔ Y is a γ space. Apply Corollary 2.2. Some of the major results concerning the property that Cp(X) is productively Fr´echet– Urysohn are collected in the following theorem.

    A semifilter approach to selection principles Lubomyr Zdomsky February 8, 2020 Abstract In this paper we develop the semifilter approach to the classical Menger and Hurewicz properties and show that the small cardinal g is a lower bound of the additivity number of the σ-ideal generated by Menger subspaces of the Baire space, and under u < g every subset X of the real line with the property Split(Λ, Λ) is Hurewicz, and thus it is consistent with ZFC that the property Split(Λ, Λ) is preserved by unions of less than b subsets of the real line. Introduction In this paper we shall present two directions of applications of semifilters in selection principles on topological spaces. First, we shall consider preservation by unions of the Menger property. Trying to describe the σ-compactness in terms of open covers, K.Menger intro- duced in [Me] the following property, called the Menger property: a topological space X is said to have this property if for every sequence (un)n∈ω of open covers of X there exists a sequence (vn)n∈ω such that each vn is a finite subfamily of un and the collection {∪vn : n ∈ ω} is a cover of X. The class of Menger topological spaces, i.e. spaces having the Menger property appeared to be much wider than the class of σ-compact spaces (see [BT], [CP], [JMSS] and many others), but it has interesting properties itself and poses a number of open questions. One of them, namely the question about the value of additivity of corresponding σ-ideal, arXiv:math/0412498v1 [math.GN] 27 Dec 2004 will be discussed in this paper.

    PRODUCTS OF MENGER SPACES: A COMBINATORIAL APPROACH PIOTR SZEWCZAK AND BOAZ TSABAN Abstract. We construct Menger subsets of the real line whose product is not Menger in the plane. In contrast to earlier constructions, our approach is purely combinatorial. The set theoretic hypothesis used in our construction is far milder than earlier ones, and holds in all but the most exotic models of real set theory. On the other hand, we establish pro- ductive properties for versions of Menger’s property parameterized by filters and semifilters. In particular, the Continuum Hypothesis implies that every productively Menger set of real numbers is productively Hurewicz, and each ultrafilter version of Menger’s property is strictly between Menger’s and Hurewicz’s classic properties. We include a number of open problems emerging from this study. 1. Introduction A topological space X is Menger if for each sequence U1, U2,... of open covers of the space X, there are finite subsets F1 ⊆ U1, F2 ⊆ U2, . whose union forms a cover of the space X. This property was introduced by Karl Menger [17], and reformulated as presented here by Witold Hurewicz [11]. Menger’s property is strictly between σ-compact and Lindelöf. Now a central notion in topology, it has applications in a number of branches of topology and set theory. The undefined notions in the following example, which are available in the indicated references, are not needed for the remainder of this paper. Example 1.1. Menger spaces form the most general class for which a positive solution of arXiv:1603.03361v3 [math.GN] 18 May 2016 the D-space problem is known [2, Corolarry 2.7], and the most general class for which a general form of Hindman’s Finite Sums Theorem holds [25].

  • HISTORICAL NOTES Chapter 1:. the Idea of Topologizing the Set of Continuous Functions from One Topological Space Into Another To
    HISTORICAL NOTES Chapter 1:. The idea of topologizing the set of continuous functions from one topological space into another topological space arose from the notions of pointwise and uniform convergence of sequences of functions. Apparently the work of Ascoli [1883], [1889] and Hadamard [1898] marked the beginning of function space theory. The topology of pointwise convergence and the topology of uniform convergence are among the first function space topologies considered in the early years of general topology. The I supremum metric topology was studied in Frechet [19061. The paper of Tychonoff [1935] showed that the (Tychonoff) product on the set RX is nothing but the topology of pointwise convergence. In 1945, Fox [19451 defined the compact-open topology. Shortly thereafter, Arens [1946] studied this topology, which he called k-topology. Among other things which Arens proved was the compact-open topology version of Theorem 1.2.3. Set-open topologies in a more general setting were studied by Arens and Dugundji [1951] in connection with the concepts of admissible and proper topologies. Theorem 1.2.5 is due to Jackson [1952], and Example 1.2.7 can be found in Dugundji [1968]. Chapter 1:. Admissible [i.e., conjoining) topologies were introduced by Arens [1946] and splitting (i.e., proper) topologies were studied by Arens and Dugundji [1951], where they proved Theorem 2.5.3. Proofs of Theorem 2.5.2 and Corollary 2.5.4.a can be found in Fox [1945]. Corollary 2.5.7 is apparently due to Jackson [1952]; and Morita [1956] proved Corollary 2.5.8.

    SPM BULLETIN ISSUE NUMBER 35: March 2013 CE 1. Editor’s note This issue contains a relatively large number of abstracts of papers dealing directly with selection principles. This is, in part, due to the stimulus created by the last SPM conference, followed by a special issue of Topology and its Applications that is under preparation. Pay special attention to Section 2.12 below, that announces a solution of the classic Malyhin’s Problem. This problem is closely related to the question of existence of γ- sets (one of the central themes of selection principles). In addition to its main result, this paper establishes that the existence of Malyhin groups need not imply that of γ-sets. Indeed, the result is quite flexible and may have additional consequences in the realm of SPM. With best regards, Boaz Tsaban, [email protected] http://www.cs.biu.ac.il/~tsaban 2.

  • On the Definability of Menger Spaces Which Are Not/Sigma-Compact
    On the definability of Menger spaces which are not σ-compact Franklin D. Tall1, Seçil Tokgöz2 July 19, 2016 Abstract Hurewicz proved completely metrizable Menger spaces are σ-compact. We extend this to Čech-complete Menger spaces, and consistently, to projective metrizable Menger spaces. On the other hand, it is consistent that there is a co-analytic Menger metrizable space that is not σ-compact. 1 When Menger spaces are σ-compact The Menger property is a strengthening of Lindelöfness which plays an important role in the study of Selection Principles. Definition 1.1. A space X is Menger if, given any sequence {Un}n<ω of arXiv:1607.04688v1 [math.GN] 16 Jul 2016 open covers of X, there exist finite subsets Vn of Un such that Sn<ω Vn covers X. 1Research supported by NSERC grant A-7354. 2The second author is supported by TÜBİTAK 2219 Grant. 2000 Math.

His conjecture was disproved in [18]. Since then, easier, “natural” counterexamples have been constructed — see e.g. [32]. It was apparently not realized until now that Hurewicz’ theorem was not limited to metrizable spaces. We shall as- sume all spaces considered are completely regular. We shall prove: Theorem 1.2.

    SELECTION PRINCIPLES IN THE LAVER, MILLER, AND SACKS MODELS LYUBOMYR ZDOMSKYY Abstract. This article is devoted to the interplay between forcing with fusion and combinatorial covering properties. We discuss known in- stances of this interplay as well as present a new one, namely that in the Laver model for the consistency of the Borel’s conjecture, the Hurewicz property is preserved by finite products of metrizable spaces. 1. Introduction Combinatorial covering properties (or selection principles) arguably arose from the study of special sets of reals. These resolved many classical ques- tions in general topology and measure theory. As a result, information about special sets of reals is included in standard topology textbooks, such as Kuratowski’s Topology [28]. The most influential survey on special sets of reals is, probably, Miller’s chapter [35] in the Handbook of Set-Theoretic Topology. The most recent monograph on this topic is written by Bukovsky, see [14]. It complements nicely the classical book [7] of Bartoszynski and Judah. This theory still finds interesting applications in general topology, see, e.g., [23] for the interplay between λ-sets and homogeneity. A typical example of the evolution of special sets of reals into selection principles comes from strong measure zero sets (SMZ sets in what follows): X ⊂ R is SMZ if for every sequence hǫn : n ∈ ωi of positive reals there exists a sequence han : n ∈ ωi of “centers” such that X ⊂ Sn∈ω B(an, ǫn), where B(a, ǫ) = {x ∈ R : |x − a| < ǫ}. SMZ sets were introduced by Borel ca. a century ago who conjectured [13] that only countable sets have such property, i.e., that there are only trivial examples of SMZ sets.

This property was introduced by Hurewicz, and the current name (the Menger property) is used because Hurewicz proved in [12] that for metrizable spaces his property is equivalent to one property of a base considered by Menger in [16]. If in the definition above we additionally require that {∪Vn : n ∈ ω} is a γ- cover of X (this means that the set {n ∈ ω : x 6∈ ∪Vn} is finite for each x ∈ X), then we obtain the definition of the Hurewicz property introduced in [13]. Each σ-compact space is obviously a Hurewicz space, and Hurewicz spaces have the Menger property. Contrary to a conjecture of Hurewicz the class of metrizable spaces having the Hurewicz property appeared to be much wider than the class of σ-compact spaces [14, Theorem 5.1]. The properties of Menger and Hurewicz are classical examples of combinatorial covering properties of topological spaces which are nowadays also called selection principles.

The starting impulse for writing this book came from topological algebra. Trying to ¯nd an inner characterization of subgroups of σ-compact topologi- cal groups, Okunev introduced the concept of an o-bounded group (see [74]): a topological group G is o-bounded if for any sequence (Un)n2! of open neigh- borhoods of theS unit of G there is a sequence (Fn)n2! of ¯nite subsets of G such that G = n2! Fn ¢Un where A¢B = fab : a 2 A; b 2 Bg is the product of two subsets A, B in the group G. The class of o-bounded groups turned out to be much wider than the class of subgroups of σ-compact groups: for example the group R! contains a non-meager dense o-bounded subgroup. To overcome this di±culty M.Tkachenko introduced the narrower class of so-called strictly o-bounded groups, de¯ned with help of the in¯nite game \Open-Finite" played by two players, I and II, on a topological group G: at the n-th inning the ¯rst player selects a neighborhood Un of the unit in G while the second player responds with a ¯nite subset Fn ofSG.

  • Some Characterizations of Ideal Variants of Hurewicz Type Covering
    SOME CHARACTERIZATIONS OF IDEAL VARIANTS OF HUREWICZ TYPE COVERING PROPERTIES MANOJ BHARDWAJ1 AND B. K. TYAGI2 Abstract. In this paper, we continue to investigate topological properties of IH and its two star versions namely SSIH and SIH. We characterized I-Hurewicz property by I-Hurewicz Basis property and I-Hurewicz measure zero property for metrizable spaces. We also characterized I-Hurewicz prop- erty, star-I-Hurewicz property and strongly star-I-Hurewicz property using selection principles. 1. Introduction The study of topological properties via various changes is not a new idea in topological spaces. The study of selection principles in topology and their relations to game theory and Ramsey theory was started by Scheepers [19] (see also [32]). In the last two decades it has gained the enough importance to become one of the most active areas of set theoretic topology. So the study of covering properties (more precisely, of selection principles) became one of the more active and prevailing areas for research in General Topology. In covering properties, Hurewicz property is one of the most important properties. A number of the results in the literature show that many topological properties can be described and characterized in terms of star covering properties (see [15, 4, 21, 22]). The method of stars has been used to study the problem of metrization of topological spaces, and for definitions of several important classical topological notions. We here study such a method in investigation of selection principles for topological spaces. In 1925, Hurewicz [30] (see also [31]) introduced Hurewicz property in topological spaces and studied it.
