On regulated partitions

This paper investigates the continuous and Borel regulation numbers of rectangular partitions for free Zn\mathbb{Z}^n-actions on $0dimensionalPolishspaces,establishingthatwhilethevalueis3for-dimensional Polish spaces, establishing that while the value is 3 for n=2,itincreasesto5for, it increases to 5 for n=3andisboundedbetween and is bounded between n+2and and 3\cdot 2^{n-2}$ for higher dimensions, thereby revealing a fundamental distinction in Borel combinatorics between two-dimensional and higher-dimensional cases.

The *-variation of the Banach-Mazur game and forcing axioms

This paper introduces a new poset property defined via a variation of the Banach-Mazur game that strengthens (ω1+1)(\omega_1+1)-strategic closedness, proves that the Proper Forcing Axiom (PFA) is preserved under forcing with such posets, and applies this result to reproduce Magidor's theorem on the consistency of PFA with weak square principles while distinguishing the property from (ω1+1)(\omega_1+1)-operational closedness.
