P-spaces and the Volterra property
We study the relationship between generalizations of -spaces and Volterra
(weakly Volterra) spaces, that is, spaces where every two dense have
dense (non-empty) intersection. In particular, we prove that every dense and
every open, but not every closed subspace of an almost -space is Volterra
and that there are Tychonoff non-weakly Volterra weak -spaces. These results
should be compared with the fact that every -space is hereditarily Volterra.
As a byproduct we obtain an example of a hereditarily Volterra space and a
hereditarily Baire space whose product is not weakly Volterra. We also show an
example of a Hausdorff space which contains a non-weakly Volterra subspace and
is both a weak -space and an almost -space.Comment: in press on the Bulletin of the Australian Mathematical Societ
Complete nonmeasurability in regular families
We show that for a -ideal \ci with a Borel base of subsets of an
uncountable Polish space, if \ca is (in several senses) a "regular" family of
subsets from \ci then there is a subfamily of \ca whose union is
completely nonmeasurable i.e. its intersection with every Borel set not in \ci
does not belong to the smallest -algebra containing all Borel sets
and \ci. Our results generalize results from \cite{fourpoles} and
\cite{fivepoles}.Comment: 7 page
