Starting from a model with a Laver-indestructible supercompact cardinal $\kappa$, we construct a model of $ZF+DC_{\kappa}$ where there are no $\kappa$-mad families.

Denote by $\continuum=2^{\aleph_0}$ the cardinal of continuum. We construct an intriguing family $(P_\alpha: \alpha\in\continuum)$ of prime $z$-ideals in $\C_0(\reals)$ with the following properties: If $f\in P_{i_0}$ for some…

Our goal is to study the pseudo-intersection and tower numbers on uncountable regular cardinals, whether these two cardinal characteristics are necessarily equal, and related problems on the existence of gaps. First, we prove that either…

Recently, Paolini and Shelah have constructed absolutely Hopfian torsion-free abelian groups of any given size. In contrast, we show that this is not necessarily the case for absolutely co-Hopfian groups. We use the infinitary logic to show…

Let $G $ be a group of cardinality $\kappa>\aleph_0 $ endowed with a topology $\tau $ such that $|U|=\kappa$ for every non-empty $U\in\tau$ and $\tau$ has a base of cardinality $\kappa$. We prove that $G$ could be factorized $G=AB$ (i.e.…

Assuming that $GCH$ holds and $\kappa$ is $\kappa^{+3}$-supercompact, we construct a generic extension $W$ of $V$ in which $\kappa$ remains strongly inaccessible and $(\alpha^+)^{HOD} < \alpha^+$ for every infinite cardinal $\alpha <…

Assuming an instance of the Brodsky-Rinot proxy principle holding at a regular uncountable cardinal $\kappa$, we construct $2^\kappa$-many pairwise non-embeddable minimal non-$\sigma$-scattered linear orders of size $\kappa$. In particular,…

The paper gives several sufficient conditions on the paracompactness of box products with an arbitrary number of many factors and boxes of arbitrary size. The former include results on generalised metrisability and Sikorski spaces. Of…

In \cite{MbPe}, Mbombo and Pestov prove that the group of isometries of the generalized Urysohn space of density $\kappa$, for uncountable $\kappa$ such that $\kappa^{<\kappa}=\kappa$, is not a universal topological group of weight…

Assuming the existence of a strong cardinal $\kappa$ and a measurable cardinal above it, we force a generic extension in which $\kappa$ is a singular strong limit cardinal of any prescribed cofinality, and such that the tree property holds…

The work presents the first part of second edition of the previous edition of 2000 under the same title containing the proof (in ZF) of the nonexistence of inaccessible cardinals, now enriched and improved. This part contains the apparatus…

Recent results of Hindman, Leader and Strauss and of Fern\'andez-Bret\'on and Rinot showed that natural versions of Hindman's Theorem fail {\em for all} uncontable cardinals. On the other hand, Komj\'ath proved a result in the positive…

This paper continues a line of investigation of the Halpern--L\"{a}uchli Theorem at uncountable cardinals. We prove in ZFC that the Halpern--L\"{a}uchli Theorem for one tree of height $\kappa$ holds whenever $\kappa$ is strongly…

For an infinite cardinal $\kappa$, let $ded\kappa$ denote the supremum of the number of Dedekind cuts in linear orders of size $\kappa$. It is known that $\kappa<ded\kappa\leq 2^{\kappa}$ for all $\kappa$ and that $ded\kappa<2^{\kappa}$ is…

We continue the study from \cite{BrendleFreidmanMontoya, vandervlugtlocalizationcardinals} of localization cardinals $\mfb_\kappa(\in^*)$ and $\mfd_\kappa(\in^*)$ and their variants at regular uncountable $\kappa$. We prove that if $\kappa$…

We show that generalized eventually narrow sequences on a strongly inaccessible cardinal $\kappa$ are preserved under the Cummings-Shaleh non-linear iterations of the higher Hechler forcing on $\kappa$. Moreover assuming GCH,…

In the original version of this paper, we assume a theory $T$ that the logic $\mathbb L_{\kappa, \aleph_{0}}$ is categorical in a cardinal $\lambda > \kappa$, and $\kappa$ is a measurable cardinal. There we prove that the class of model of…

We investigate states on von Neumann algebras which are not normal but enjoy various forms of infinite additivity, and show that these exist on $B(H)$ if and only if the cardinality of an orthonormal basis of $H$ satisfies various large…

We show, assuming the consistency of one measurable cardinal, that it is consistent for there to be exactly kappa+ many normal measures on the least measurable cardinal kappa. This answers a question of Stewart Baldwin. The methods…

Using Shelah's revised GCH theorem we prove that if mu<beth_omega <= lambda are cardinals, then every mu-almost disjoint subfamily B of [lambda]^{beth_omega} is essentially disjoint, i.e. for each b from B there is a subset f(b) of b of…
