Abstract: We solve four out of the six open problems concerning critical cardinalities of topological diagonalization properties involving tau-covers, show that the remaining two cardinals are equal, and give a consistency result concerning this remaining cardinal. Consequently, 21 open problems concerning potential implications between these properties are settled. We also give structural results based on the combinatorial techniques.

Review text

The authors study selection principles that assert the possibility of selecting from each term of a sequence of covers of type~A a few elements so as to form a cover of type~B. The types of covers under consideration are large (every point belongs to infinitely many members), \(\omega\)-cover (every finite set is part of a member), \(\gamma\)-cover (the cover is infinite and every point is in all but finitely many members) and \(\tau\)-cover (large and if \(x\neq y\) then (at least) one of \(\{U:x\in U\not\ni y\}\) and \(\{U:x\not\in U\ni y\}\) is finite). Further variation is added by requiring the covers to be open, clopen, Borel, etc. Many selection principles can be translated to diagonalization properties of families of subsets of \(\omega\times\omega\); this then allows the authors to investigate the minimum cardinalities of subsets of~\(\mathbb{R}\) that do not satisfy the corresponding principles and to relate these to known cardinal characteristics of the continuum.
