The aim of this paper is to consider questions concerning the possible maximum cardinality various separable pseudoradial (in short: SP) spaces. most intriguing question here if there in ZFC a regular (or just Hausdorff) SP space >c. While left open, we establish number non-trivial results that list below. It consistent with MA+c=ℵ2 countably tight and compact 2c. If κ measurable cardinal then ...

A Tychonoff space X is called RG if the embedding of C(X) → C(Xδ) is an epimorphism of rings. Compact RG spaces are known and easily described. We study the pseudocompact RG spaces. These must be scattered of finite Cantor Bendixon degree but need not be locally compact. However, under strong hypotheses, (countable compactness, or small cardinality) these spaces must, indeed, be compact. The ma...

Completely regular pseudo-compact spaces have been characterized in several ways. E. Hewitt [6, pp. 68-70] has given one characterization in terms of the Stone-Cech compactification and another in terms of the zero sets of continuous functions. J. Colmez [2; no proofs included] and I. Glicksberg [4] have obtained characterizations by means of a convergence property for sequences of continuous f...

Consider degenerations of Abelian differentials with prescribed number and multiplicity of zeros and poles. Motivated by the theory of limit linear series, we define twisted canonical divisors on pointed nodal curves to study degenerate differentials, give dimension bounds for their moduli spaces, and establish smoothability criteria. As applications, we show that the spin parity of holomorphic...
