This doctoral dissertation by Liljana Babinkostova delves into the evolution of selection principles in topology from the seminal works of Borel and Menger to the modern concepts like screenability and groupability. The study covers the historical background, key theorems such as Ramsey's Theorem, and new selection principles introduced by prominent mathematicians like M. Scheepers. Through a thorough examination of relations, examples, and implications, the dissertation sheds light on the relevance of selection principles in topological operations, game theory, and duality theory. The work emphasizes the importance of understanding these principles in various metric spaces and subspaces, providing a nuanced perspective on basis and measure properties. Overall, it presents a structured analysis of star-selection principles and their impact on topological research.
