Jan Rossa (University of Warsaw)
A certain dichotomy for analytic subfamilies of P(N)
In this talk we will discuss a complete proof of a certain dichotomy for analytic subfamilies of P(N) (endowed with the Cantor set topology via characteristic functions), originally stated in G. Godefroy's work "Compacts de …

A logic of co-valuations
A co-valuation is, essentially, a minimal finite cover. We introduce a logic based on co-valuations, which play the role of valuations of free variables in classical first-order logic, and show that the fundamental tools of …

Tomasz Kania (Jagiellonian University)
Polish spaces of categories enriched over separable Banach spaces
We employ the Godefroy--Saint-Raymond machinery of admissible topologies to projectively universal objects in categories such as (separable) Banach spaces, Banach lattices, Banach lattices, C*-algebras etc. as well as countable objects such as groups or rings …

On the class of (E,M)* sets
We shall say that a subset X of the Cantor space 2^\omega, belongs to the class (E,M)* if, for each F_\sigma measure zero subset F of 2^\omega, the algebraic sum X+F is meager in 2^\omega. …

Universally meager sets in the Miller model and similar ones
A subset X of the Cantor cube 2^\omega is universally meager, if every Borel isomorphic image of X is meager in 2^\omega. We prove that in the Miller model and in a model constructed by …

Two new stories from the land of ultrafilter orders
The main goal of the talk is to discuss two topics concerning ultrafilter orders on chainable continua: order type of ultrafilter orders on chainable continua and descriptive complexity of ultrafilter orders on chainable continua. During …

Piotr Koszmider (IM PAN)
Boolean algebras and the Calkin algebra
The Calkin C*-algebra Q can be considered as the non-abelian analogue of the Boolean algebra P(N)/Fin. It is defined as the quotient B/K of the algebra B of all linear bounded operators on a separable …

The hereditary Baire property of first-countable perfect spaces is A-invariant
During this talk we will prove that if X and Y are first–countable perfect spaces, such that their free Abelian topological groups A(X) and A(Y) are topologically isomorphic, then X is a hereditary Baire space …

Damian Sobota (Universität Wien, Kurt Gödel Research Center for Mathematical Logic)
Borel Boolean algebras with the Nikodym property but without the Grothendieck property
I will present a construction of continuum many pairwise non-isomorphic Boolean subalgebras of the power set P(\omega) which have the Nikodym property but not the Grothendieck property and belong to the class F_{\sigma\delta} when thought …

Banach-Mazur distances between some C(K) spaces
The Banach-Mazur distance between two Banach spaces X and Y can be defined as the infimum of the norms of all norm-increasing isomorphisms T:X --> Y. We present several lower bounds of Banach-Mazur distances between …

Kacper Kucharski (Doctoral School of Exact and Natural Sciences UW)
Preservation of scattered-like properties by isomorphisms of function spaces and free Abelian topological groups
During the talk we will show that if a space X either satisfies the property (κ) or is strongly σ–scattered, then a space Y has to satisfy the same property, provided there exists a continuous …

Almost disjoint families and some automorphic and injective properties of $\ell_\infty/c_0$
The question whether any isomorphism between two isomorphic copies of $c_0(\omega_1)$ in $\ell_\infty/c_0$ can be extended to an automorphism of the whole space was posed by A. Aviles, F. Cabello Sanchez, J. Castillo, M. Gonzalez …

Complexity of the isomorphism relation for Borel classes of non Archimedean groups
In the paper "The complexity of topological group isomorphism", JSL 2018, A. Kechris, the speaker and K. Tent, started the programme to determine the Borel complexity of the isomorphism relation for natural Borel classes of …

Diamond on Kurepa trees
We investigate a weak variant of Jensen's Diamond, which is expected to guess only cofinal branches of a specific Kurepa tree. We prove that in many scenarios such principle holds. Nevertheless, it is consistent that …

Isomorphic C(K) spaces from Almost Disjoint families
The construction of the Alexandrov-Urysohn (AU) compacta out of Almost Disjoint (AD) families, as well as the space of continuos functions over these compacta, have been intensively studied in recent years. In the present talk …
