More examples of metric spaces where the inductive dimensions disagree (Q1612259)

The author gives three examples of metric spaces, which answer questions due to Mrowka. Namely, in Section 1 the author shows that \(N\)-compact example, in his earlier paper, has closed sets wich are not clopen Borel, providing a negative answer to Mrowka's first question. In Section 2, another \(N\)-compact example is given which is not strongly zero-dimensional, but for which, consistently, all closed sets are clopen Borel, giving a negative answer to the second question. The final one is the following: For each \(\alpha\) with \(\omega_1\leq \alpha \leq c\), there is a metric space of weight \( \alpha\) with noncoinciding dimensions for which all subsets of weight less than \(\alpha\) are strongly zero-dimensional. The reviewer believes that every reader of this review can understand the importance of this paper after reading the interesting paper ``New properties of Mrowka's space \(\nu\mu_0\)'', to appear in Proc. Am. Math. Soc. \#12288.
