英文摘要：

In this paper we settle all questions whether (it is consistent that) the properties P and Q [do not] coincide, where P and Q run over selection principles of the type U_fin(O,A).

Combinatorial images of sets of reals and semifilter trichotomy

Using a dictionary translating a variety of classical and modern covering properties into combinatorial properties of continuous images, we get a simple way to understand the interrelations between these properties in ZFC and in the realm of the trichotomy axiom for upward closed families of sets of natural numbers. While it is now known that the answer to the Hurewicz 1927 problem is positive, it is shown here that semifilter trichotomy implies a negative answer to a slightly weaker form of this problem.

A semifilter approach to selection principles

We develop the semifilter approach to the classical Menger and Hurewicz covering properties and show that the small cardinal g is a lower bound of the additivity number of the family of Menger subspaces of the Baire space, and under u< g every subset X of the real line with the property Split(Lambda,Lambda) is Hurewicz.

Several comments about the combinatorics of tau-covers

In a previous work with Mildenberger and Shelah, we showed that the combinatorics of the selection hypotheses involving tau-covers is sensitive to the selection operator used. We introduce a natural generalization of Scheepers' selection operators, and show that: (1) A slight change in the selection operator, which in classical cases makes no difference, leads to different properties when tau-covers are involved. (2) One of the newly introduced properties sheds some light on a problem of Scheepers concerning tau-covers. Improving an earlier result, we also show that no generalized Luzin set sa…

The combinatorics of tau-covers

We solve four out of the six open problems concerning critical cardinalities of topological diagonalization properties involving tau-covers, show that the remaining two cardinals are equal, and give a consistency result concerning this remaining cardinal. Consequently, 21 open problems concerning potential implications between these properties are settled. We also give structural results based on the combinatorial techniques.

Selection principles and the minimal tower problem

We study diagonalizations of covers using various selection principles, where the covers are related to linear quasiorderings (tau-covers). This includes: equivalences and nonequivalences, combinatorial characterizations, critical cardinalities and constructions of special sets of reals. This study leads to a solution of a topological problem which was suggested to the author by Scheepers (and stated in an earlier work) and is related to the Minimal Tower problem. We also introduce a variant of the notion of tau-cover, called tau^*-cover, and settle some problems for this variant which are sti…

Critical cardinalities and additivity properties of combinatorial notions of smallness

Motivated by the minimal tower problem, an earlier work studied diagonalizations of covers where the covers are related to linear quasiorders (tau-covers). We deal with two types of combinatorial questions which arise from this study. 1. Two new cardinals introduced in the topological study are expressed in terms of well known cardinals characteristics of the continuum. 2. We study the additivity numbers of the combinatorial notions corresponding to the topological diagonalization notions. This gives new insights on the structure of the eventual dominance ordering on the Baire space, the almos…

The combinatorics of splittability

Marion Scheepers, in his studies of the combinatorics of open covers, introduced the property Split(U,V) asserting that a cover of type U can be split into two covers of type V. In the first part of this paper we give an almost complete classification of all properties of this form where U and V are significant families of covers which appear in the literature (namely, large covers, omega-covers, tau-covers, and gamma-covers), using combinatorial characterizations of these properties in terms related to ultrafilters on N. In the second part of the paper we consider the questions whether, given…
