Title: On \(\omega\)-Corson compact spaces and related classes of Eberlein compacta
Abstract: Recall that a compact space \(K\) is Eberlein compact if it can be embedded into some Banach space X equipped with the weak topology; equivalently, for some set \(\Gamma\), \(K\) can be embedded into the space \(c_0( \Gamma)\), endowed with the pointwise convergence topology.
A compact space \(K\) is \(\omega\)-Corson compact if, for some set \(\Gamma\), \(K\) is homeomorphic to a subset of the \(\sigma\)-product of real lines \(\sigma(\mathbb{R}^\Gamma)\), i.e. the subspace of the product \(\mathbb{R}^\Gamma\) consisting of functions with finite supports. Clearly, every \(\omega\)-Corson compact space is Eberlein compact.
We will present a characterization of \(\omega\)-Corson compact spaces, and some other results concerning this class of spaces and related classes of Eberlein compacta.
This is a joint research with Grzegorz Plebanek and Krzysztof Zakrzewski, see

Title: On zero-dimensional subspaces of Eberlein compacta
Abstract: Let us recall that a compact space K is Eberlein compact if it can be embedded into some Banach space X equipped with the weak topology. Our talk will be devoted to the known problem of the existence of nonmetrizable compact spaces without nonmetrizable zero-dimensional closed subspaces. Several such spaces were obtained using some additional set-theoretic assumptions. Recently, P. Koszmider constructed the first such example in ZFC. We investigate this problem for the class of Eberlein compact spaces. We construct such Eberlein compacta, assuming the existence of a Luzin set. We also show that it is consistent with ZFC that each Eberlein compact space of weight greater than \(\omega_1\) contains a nonmetrizable closed zero-dimensional subspace.
The talk is based on the paper "On two problems concerning Eberlein compacta": http://arxiv.org/abs/2103.03153

Title: On countable dense homogeneous topological vector spaces
Abstract. Recall that a topological space X is countable dense homogeneous (CDH) if X is separable, and given countable dense subsets D,E of X, there is an autohomeomorphism of X mapping D onto E. This is a classical notion tracing back to works of Cantor, Frechet and Brouwer. The canonical examples of CDH spaces include the Cantor set, the Hilbert cube, and all separable Banach spaces. All Borel, but not closed linear subspaces of Banach spaces are not CDH. By \(C_p(X)\) we denote the space of all continuous real-valued functions on a Tikhonov space X, endowed with the pointwise topology. V. Tkachuk asked if there exists a nondiscrete space X such that \(C_p(X)\) is CDH. Last year R. Hernandez Gutierrez gave the first consistent example of such a space X. He has asked whether a metrizable space X must be discrete, provided \(C_p(X)\) is CDH. We answer this question in the affirmative. Actually, combining our theorem with earlier results, we prove that, for a metrizable space X, \(C_p(X)\) is CDH if and only if X is discrete of cardinality less than pseudointersection number \(\mathfrak p\). We also prove that every CDH topological vector space X is a Baire space. This implies that, for an infinite-dimensional Banach space E, both spaces (E,w) and (E*,w*) are not CDH. We generalize some results of Hrusak, Zamora Aviles, and Hernandez Gutierrez concerning countable dense homogeneous products.
