On possible restrictions of the null ideal

We prove that the null ideal restricted to a non-null set of reals could be isomorphic to a variety of sigma ideals. Using this, we show that the following are consistent: (1) There is a non-null subset of plane each of whose non-null subsets contains three collinear points. (2) There is a partition of a non-null set of reals into null sets, each of size [Formula: see text], such that every transversal of this partition is null.

No Tukey reduction of Lebesgue null to Silver null sets

We prove that consistently the Lebesgue null ideal is not Tukey reducible to the Silver null ideal. This contrasts with the situation for the meager ideal which, by a recent result of the author, Spinas [Silver trees and Cohen reals, Israel J. Math. 211 (2016) 473–480] is Tukey reducible to the Silver ideal.

Polynomial functions on subsets of non-commutative rings — a link between ringsets and null-ideal sets

Regarding polynomial functions on a subset S of a non-commutative ring R, that is, functions induced by polynomials in R[x] (whose variable commutes with the coeffcients), we show connections between, on one hand, sets S such that the integer-valued polynomials on S form a ring, and, on the other hand, sets S such that the set of polynomials in R[x] that are zero on S is an ideal of R[x].

REPRESENTATIONS OF IDEALS IN POLISH GROUPS AND IN BANACH SPACES

We investigate ideals of the form {A⊆ω: Σn∈Axnis unconditionally convergent} where (xn)n∈ωis a sequence in a Polish group or in a Banach space. If an ideal onωcan be seen in this form for some sequence inX, then we say that it is representable inX.After numerous examples we show the following theorems: (1) An ideal is representable in a Polish Abelian group iff it is an analytic P-ideal. (2) An ideal is representable in a Banach space iff it is a nonpathological analytic P-ideal.We focus on the family of ideals representable inc0. We characterize this property via the defining sequence of measures. We prove that the trace of the null ideal, Farah’s ideal, and Tsirelson ideals are not representable inc0, and that a tallFσP-ideal is representable inc0iff it is a summable ideal. Also, we provide an example of a peculiar ideal which is representable inℓ1but not in ℝ.Finally, we summarize some open problems of this topic.
