Title: Katětov order on Borel ideals

Abstract: An ideal \(\mathcal{I}\) on \(\omega\) is Katětov reducible to ideal \(\mathcal{J}\) if there is a function \(f:\omega\to \omega\) such that if \(I\in\mathcal{I}\) then \(f^{-1}[I]\in\mathcal{J}\). The existence of such reduction is related to some cardinal invariants and other properties of considered ideals. We will present some examples of Borel ideals with or without Katětov reductions between them. Furthermore we will prove a structural dichotomy about Katětov order for all Borel ideals.

The presented results are from the paper “Katětov order on Borel ideals” by Michael Hrusak.

Title: Combinatorial Banach spaces

Abstract: Combinatorial space is a type of Banach space induced by (some) family of sets in a certain way. During the talk I will present examples of families (of subsets of natural numbers) and spaces related with them. Furthermore, I will consider properties of these spaces, in particular in the context of containing isomorphic copy of \(c_0\) and \(\ell_1\).

Title: Countable extensions of compact lines

Abstract: For a compact space \(K\), we say that \(L\) is a countable discrete extension of \(K\) if \(L\) is compact and consists of \(K\) and a countable set of isolated points. We investigate some properties of such extenions for separable compact lines \(K\). This is directly related to properties of almost chains of subsets of \( \mathbb{N}\).

Title: Trees and Cohen reals

Abstract: We will discuss adding Cohen reals for various types of trees on Baire and Cantor space. We will distinguish that these Cohen reals can be added in a 'strong' or 'weak' way. While the former has rather pathological consequences, the latter allows certain control over the ideal related to the tree type.
