Seminar & Colloquium Schedule (2000)
March 27 - April 2
Set Theory and Topology Seminar:
Special families of subsets of the set $N$ of natural numbers, and
associated uncountable cardinal numbers and basic properties of
topological spaces. (part 2)
(Peter Nyikos,

University of South Carolina)
Monday 3:30 PM LC312
IMI Seminar:
On the Indefinitely Oscillating Functions.

Tuesday 2:30 PM LC312
Set Theory and Topology Seminar:
A partial solution to a problem
posed by Matveev in the recent Spring topology conference in
San Antonio. It has to do with the least infinite cardinal k such
that the product of k copies of the 2-point discrete space
has a countable dense subset from which no nontrivial sequence
converges. A proof will be outlined for how k can be any
uncountable regular aleph, while the continuum is "arbitrarily large".
