We investigate the mathematics of a model of the human mind which has been proposed by the psychologist Jens Mammen. Mathematical realizations of this model consist of so-called emph{Mammen spaces}, where a Mammen space is a triple $(U,mathcal S,mathcal C)$, where $U$ is a non-empty set (the universe), $mathcal S$ is a perfect Hausdorff topology on $U$, and $mathcal Csubseteqmathcal P(U)$ together with $mathcal S$ satisfy certain axioms. We refute a conjecture put forward by J. Hoffmann-J{o}rgensen, who conjectured that the existence of a complete Mammen space implies the Axiom of Choice, by showing that in the first Cohen model, in which ZF holds but AC fails, there is a complete Mammen space. We obtain this by proving that in the first Cohen model, every perfect topology can be extended to a maximal perfect topology. On the other hand, we also show that if all sets are Lebesgue measurable, or all sets are Baire measurable, then there are no complete Mammen spaces with a countable universe. Finally, we investigate two new cardinal invariants $mathfrak u_M$ and $mathfrak u_T$ associated with complete Mammen spaces and maximal perfect topologies, and establish some basic inequalities that are provable in ZFC. We show $mathfrak u_M=mathfrak u_T=2^{aleph_0}$ follows from Martins Axiom, and, contrastingly, we show that $aleph_1=mathfrak u_M=mathfrak u_T<2^{aleph_0}=aleph_2$ in the Baumgartner-Laver model.
The Doob convergence theorem implies that the set of divergence of any martingale has measure zero. We prove that, conversely, any $G_{deltasigma}$ subset of the Cantor space with Lebesgue-measure zero can be represented as the set of divergence of s
We give a model-theoretic treatment of the fundamental results of Kechris-Pestov-Todorv{c}evi{c} theory in the more general context of automorphism groups of not necessarily countable structures. One of the main points is a description of the univers
This is a short introductory course to Set Theory, based on axioms of von Neumann--Bernays--Godel (briefly NBG). The text can be used as a base for a lecture course in Foundations of Mathematics, and contains a reasonable minimum which a good (post-g
For a group $G$ first order definable in a structure $M$, we continue the study of the definable topological dynamics of $G$. The special case when all subsets of $G$ are definable in the given structure $M$ is simply the usual topological dynamics o
We define a class of higher inductive types that can be constructed in the category of sets under the assumptions of Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory without the axiom of choice or the existence of uncountable regular cardinals. This class includes the example of unordered trees of any arity.
