We construct a micromechanical version of an early model for topologically constrained polymers -- a 2D chain amongst point-like uncrossable obstacles -- which allows us to explicitly elucidate the role of topological forces beyond…

In this paper we introduce a tree-like forcing notion extending some properties of the random forcing in the context of the generalised Cantor space and study its associated ideal of null sets and notion of measurability. This issue was…

We produce a class of $\omega$-categorical structures with finite signature by applying a model-theoretic construction -- a refinement of the Hrushosvki-encoding -- to $\omega$-categorical structures in a possibly infinite signature. We…

We provide analogues of the results from [FMR11, CMMR13] in the reference list (which correspond to the case $\kappa = \omega$) for arbitrary $\kappa$-Souslin quasi-orders on any Polish space, for $\kappa$ an infinite cardinal smaller than…

We prove that any suitable generalization of Laver forcing to the space $ \kappa^\kappa$, for uncountable regular $\kappa$, necessarily adds a Cohen $\kappa$-real. We also study a dichotomy and an ideal naturally related to generalized…

We prove two general results about the preservation of extendible and $C^{(n)}$-extendible cardinals under a wide class of forcing iterations (Theorems 5.4 and 7.5). As applications we give new proofs of the preservation of Vop\v{e}nka's…

Smallish large cardinals $\kappa$ are often characterized by the existence of a collection of filters on $\kappa$, each of which is an ultrafilter on the subsets of $\kappa$ of some transitive $\mathrm{ZFC}^-$-model of size $ \kappa$. We…

We continue the development of the theory of construction schemes over $\omega_1$ as introduced by the third author by studying their relation with forcing axioms. Formally, we introduce the cardinals $\mathfrak{m}^n_{\mathcal{F}}$ and use…

I prove preservation theorems for countable support iteration of proper forcing concerning certain classes of capacities and submeasures. New examples of forcing notions and connections with measure theory are included.

Assume $\lambda$ is a singular limit of $\eta$ supercompact cardinals, where $\eta \leq \lambda$ is a limit ordinal. We present two forcing methods for making $\lambda^+$ the successor of the limit of the first $\eta$ measurable cardinals…

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…

In this article, we try to complete the regularity implications between the regularitites of the well-known tree forcing notions at the $\boldsymbol{\Delta}^1_2$ level of the projective hierarchy. The missing links in this case were the…

CCS can be considered as a most natural extension of finite state automata in which interaction is made possible thanks to parallel composition. We propose here a similar extension for top-down tree automata. We introduce a parallel…

The problem of determining those multiplets of forces, or sets of force multiplets, acting at a set of points, such that there exists a truss structure, or wire web, that can support these force multiplets with all the elements of the truss…

We present a novel, perspicuous framework for building iterated ultrapowers. Furthermore, our framework naturally lends itself to the construction of a certain type of order indiscernibles, here dubbed tight indiscernibles, which are shown…

We obtain a small ultrafilter number at $\aleph_{\omega_1}$. Moreover, we develop a version of the overlapping strong extender forcing with collapses which can keep the top cardinal $\kappa$ inaccessible. We apply this forcing to construct…

Our proof is based on a generalization of action-angle variables, a convergent Lie transformation, and Moser's invariant curve theorem. As an overall outline we give a quick proof of Morris' original theorem. Then the full theorem is…

Fix a set-theoretic universe $V$. We look at small extensions of $V$ as generalised degrees of computability over $V$. We also formalise and investigate the complexity of certain methods one can use to define, in $V$, subclasses of degrees…

We show how to construct, via forcing, splitting families than are preserved by a certain type of finite support iterations. As an application, we construct a model where 15 classical characteristics of the continuum are pairwise different,…

We investigate the effects of various forcings on several forms of the Halpern-L\"auchli Theorem. For inaccessible $\kappa$, we show they are preserved by forcings of size less than $\kappa$. Combining this with work of Zhang in…
