We prove the following theorem: For a partially ordered set Q such that every countable subset has a strict upper bound, there is a forcing notion satisfying ccc such that, in the forcing model, there is a basis of the null ideal of the…

System I is a proof language for a fragment of propositional logic where isomorphic propositions, such as $A\wedge B$ and $B\wedge A$, or $A\Rightarrow(B\wedge C)$ and $(A\Rightarrow B)\wedge(A\Rightarrow C)$ are made equal. System I enjoys…

The main result of this paper is a partial answer to [math.LO/9909115, Problem 5.5]: a finite iteration of Universal Meager forcing notions adds generic filters for many forcing notions determined by universality parameters. We also give…

We describe a method of building ``nice'' sigma-ideals from Souslin ccc forcing notions. [These notes were written down in 1992, but were not submitted to any journal. In a slightly modified form, they were incorporated to: T. Bartoszynski…

R.D.Mauldin asked if every translation invariant $\sigma$-finite Borel measure on $\RR^d$ is a constant multiple of Lebesgue measure. The aim of this paper is to show that the answer is "yes and no", since surprisingly the answer depends on…

This paper provides an extensive study of the $\mathscr{I}$-Miller null ideals $M_\mathscr{I}$, $\sigma$-ideals on the Baire space parametrized by ideals $\mathscr{I}$ on countable sets. These $\sigma$-ideals are associated to the idealized…

We show that the set of codes for Ramsey positive analytic sets is $\mathbf{\Sigma}^1_2$-complete. This is a one projective-step higher analogue of the Hurewicz theorem saying that the set of codes for uncountable analytic sets is…

We use forcing over admissible sets to show that, for every ordinal $\alpha$ in a club $C\subset\omega_1$, there are copies of $\alpha$ such that the isomorphism between them is not computable in the join of the complete $\Pi^1_1$ set…

Using creature technology, we construct families of Suslin ccc non-sweet forcing notions $\mathbb Q$ such that $ZFC$ is equiconsistent with $ZF+$"every set of reals equals a Borel set modulo the $(\leq \aleph_1)$-closure of the null ideal…

A $\sigma$-ideal $\mathcal{I}$ on a Polish group $(X,+)$ has Smital Property if for every dense set $D$ and a Borel $\mathcal{I}$-positive set $B$ the algebraic sum $D+B$ is a complement of a set from $\mathcal{I}$. We consider several…

The aim of this paper is to study the relationship between reduction numbers and Borel-fixed ideals in all characteristics. By definition, Borel-fixed ideals are closed under certain specializations which is similar to the strong stability.…

The closed one-sided ideals of a C*-algebra are exactly the closed subspaces supported by the orthogonal complement of a closed projection. Let A be a (not necessarily selfadjoint) subalgebra of a unital C*-algebra B which contains the unit…

Fix a poset $Q$ on $\{x_1,\ldots,x_n\}$. A $Q$-Borel monomial ideal $I \subseteq \mathbb{K}[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ is a monomial ideal whose monomials are closed under the Borel-like moves induced by $Q$. A monomial ideal $I$ is a principal…

If T has only countably many complete types, yet has a type of infinite multiplicity then there is a ccc forcing notion Q such that, in any Q --generic extension of the universe, there are non-isomorphic models M_1 and M_2 of T that can be…

We develop a general framework for forcing with coherent adequate sets on $H(\lambda)$ as side conditions, where $\lambda \ge \omega_2$ is a cardinal of uncountable cofinality. We describe a class of forcing posets which we call coherent…

Let $\mathcal{E}$ be the $\sigma$-ideal generated by the closed measure zero sets of reals. We use an ultrafilter-extendable matrix iteration of ccc posets to force that, for $\mathcal{E}$, their associated cardinal characteristics (i.e.\…

A $\Sigma$-construction of Solovay is extended to the case of intermediate sets which are not necessarily subsets of the ground model, with a more transparent description of the resulting forcing notion than in the classical paper of…

In this paper we show that for a given set of pairwise comaximal ideals $\{X_i\}_{i\in I}$ in a ring $R$ with unity and any right $R$-module $M$ with generating set $Y$ and $C(X_i)=\sum\limits_{k\in\mathbb{N}}\underline{\ell}_M(X_i^{k})$,…

The usual definition of the set of constructible reals is $\Sigma ^1_2$. This set can have a simpler definition if, for example, it is countable or if every real is constructible. H. Friedman asked if the set of constructible reals can be…

Nadkarni's Theorem asserts that for a countable Borel equivalence relation (CBER) exactly one of the following holds: (1) It has an invariant Borel probability measure or (2) it admits a Borel compression, i.e., a Borel injection that maps…
