A Diagonalization Property between Hurewicz and Menger
نویسنده
چکیده
In classical works, Hurewicz and Menger introduced two diagonalization properties for sequences of open covers. Hurewicz found a combinatorial characterization of these notions in terms of continuous images. Recently, Scheepers has shown that these notions are particular cases in a large family of diagonalization schemas. One of the members of this family is weaker than the Hurewicz property and stronger than the Menger property, and it was left open whether it can be characterized combinatorially in terms of continuous images. We give a positive answer. This paper can serve as an exposition of this fascinating subject.

The combinatorics of open covers (II)
We continue to investigate various diagonalization properties for sequences of open covers of separable metrizable spaces introduced in Part I. These properties generalize classical ones of Rothberger, Menger, Hurewicz, and Gerlits-Nagy. In particular, we show that most of the properties introduced in Part I are indeed distinct. We characterize two of the new properties by showing that they are...
متن کاملSelection principles in topology: New directions
Most mathematical theories start from humble beginnings where a mathematician while examining some mathematical object makes fundamental, but ad hoc, observations. When the significance of these observations are realized some organised study begins during which these are explored in detail for some central examples. In this second part of theory building some general themes of investigation are...
متن کاملWhen does the Haver property imply selective screenability?
We point out that in metric spaces Haver’s property is not equivalent to the property introduced by Addis and Gresham. We prove that they are equal when the space has the Hurewicz property. We prove several results about the preservation of Haver’s property in products. We show that if a separable metric space has the Haver property, and the nth power has the Hurewicz property, then the nth pow...
متن کاملMenger remainders of topological groups
In this paper we discuss what kind of constrains combinatorial covering properties of Menger, Scheepers, and Hurewicz impose on remainders of topological groups. For instance, we show that such a remainder is Hurewicz if and only it is σ-compact. Also, the existence of a Scheepers non-σ-compact remainder of a topological group follows from CH and yields a P -point, and hence is independent of Z...

Menger's basis property is a generalization of σ-comp-actness and admits an elegant combinatorial interpretation. We introduce a general combinatorial method to construct non σ-compact sets of reals with Menger's property. Special instances of these constructions give known counterexamples to conjectures of Menger and Hurewicz. We obtain the first explicit solution to the Hurewicz 1927 problem,...
