We numerically test an experimentally realizable method for the extraction of the critical Casimir force based on its thermodynamic definition as the derivative of the excess free energy with respect to system size. Free energy differences…

We develop iterated forcing constructions dual to finite support iterations in the sense that they add random reals instead of Cohen reals in limit steps. In view of useful applications we focus in particular on two-dimensional "random"…

To precondition a large and sparse linear system, two direct methods for approximate factoring of the inverse are devised. The algorithms are fully parallelizable and appear to be more robust than the iterative methods suggested for the…

Assuming that there is no inner model with a strong cardinal, the following is shown: any subset of \omega_1 can be made \Delta^1_3 (in the codes) by a reasonable set-forcing; there is a reasonable set-generic extension with a \Delta^1_3…

For $\lambda$ inaccessible, we may consider $(< \lambda)$-support iteration of some specific $(<\lambda)$-complete $\lambda^+$-c.c. forcing notion. But this fails a "preservation by restricting to a sub-sequence of the forcing, we "correct"…

We present a version with non-definable forcing notions of Shelah's theory of iterated forcing along a template. Our main result, as an application, is that, if $\kappa$ is a measurable cardinal and $\theta<\kappa<\mu<\lambda$ are…

We present a general framework for forcing on $\omega_2$ with finite conditions using countable models as side conditions. This framework is based on a method of comparing countable models as being membership related up to a large initial…

A set $A$ of integers is called total if there is an algorithm which, given an enumeration of $A$, enumerates the complement of $A$, and called cototal if there is an algorithm which, given an enumeration of the complement of $A$,…

We introduce a new method for building models of CH, together with $\Pi_2$ statements over $H(\omega_2)$, by forcing. Unlike other forcing constructions in the literature, our construction adds new reals, although only $\aleph_1$-many of…

Taking symmetric extensions can be considered as a generalisation of forcing, which produces a richer multiverse of models with and without the axiom of choice. We can study the structure of this multiverse using modal logic. In particular,…

Based on the work of Shelah, Kellner, and T\u{a}nasie (Fund. Math., 166(1-2):109-136, 2000 and Comment. Math. Univ. Carolin., 60(1):61-95, 2019), and the recent developments in the third author's master's thesis, we develop a general theory…

Using a variation of Woodin's $\mathbb{P}_{\mathrm{max}}$ forcing, we force over a model of the Axiom of Determinacy to produce a model of ZFC containing a very strongly increasing sequence of length $\omega_{2}$ consisting of functions…

Assume $\kappa = \kappa^{< \kappa}$ (usually $\aleph_0$ or an inaccessible). We shall deal with iterated forcings preserving ${}^{\kappa>}{\rm Ord}$ and not collapsing cardinals along a linear order $L$. A sufficient condition for this,…

I prove several theorems concerning upward closure and amalgamation in the generic multiverse of a countable transitive model of set theory. Every such model $W$ has forcing extensions $W[c]$ and $W[d]$ by adding a Cohen real, which cannot…

We consider the problem of determining the class of continuous-time dynamical systems that can be globally linearized in the sense of admitting an embedding into a linear system on a higher-dimensional Euclidean space. We solve this problem…

We consider the optimization of the vector of grasping forces that support a known generalized force acting on the grasped object---a rigid body or a mechanism. Working in the framework of finite-dimensional normed vector spaces and their…

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 introduce the idea of a coherent adequate set of models, which can be used as side conditions in forcing. As an application we define a forcing poset which adds a square sequence on $\omega_2$ using finite conditions.

We show that for a Suslin ccc forcing notion $\mathbb Q$ adding a Hechler real, ``$\text{ZF}+\text{DC}_{\omega_1}+$all sets of reals are $I_{\mathbb Q,\aleph_0}$-measurable'' implies the existence of an inner model with a measurable…

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…
