We prove some iteration theorems for a certain class of $\kappa^+$-cc forcing posets.
Let $\mathcal{N}$ be the $\sigma$-ideal of the null sets of reals. We introduce a new property of forcing notions that enable control of the additivity of $\mathcal{N}$ after finite support iterations. This is applied to answer some open…
Chang's Conjecture (CC) asserts that for every $F:[\omega_2]^{<\omega} \to \omega_2$, there exists an $X$ that is closed under $F$ such that $|X|=\omega_1$ and $|X \cap \omega_1| =\omega$. By classic results of Silver and Donder, CC is…
We present a method which forces the failure of $\Pi^1_3$ and $\Sigma^1_3$-separation, while $\mathsf{MA} (\mathcal{I}$) holds, for $\mathcal{I}$ the family of indestructible ccc forcings. This shows that, in contrast to the assumption…
Countable tightness may be destroyed by countably closed forcing. We characterize the indestructibility of countable tightness under countably closed forcing by combinatorial statements similar to the ones Tall used to characterize…
This paper presents a theory of systemic undecidability, reframing incomputability as a structural property of systems rather than a localized feature of specific functions or problems. We define a notion of causal embedding and prove a…
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 show that assuming modest large cardinals, there is a definable class of ordinals, closed and unbounded beneath every uncountable cardinal, so that for any closed and unbounded subclasses $P, Q$, $\langle L[P],\in ,P \rangle$ and…
The weak boundedness property associated with a standard alpha-fractional Calderon-Zygmund operator and a weight pair is good-lambda controlled by the testing conditions and the Muckenhoupt and energy side conditions. As a consequence,…
We develop a new method for building forcing iterations with symmetric systems of structures as side conditions. Using our method we prove that the forcing axiom for the class of all the small finitely proper posets is compatible with a…
In this paper, we consider iterative propositional calculi, which are finite sets of propositional formulas together with the rules of modus ponens and weak substitution (when formula being substituted must be already inferred). We…
The weak gravity conjecture suggests that, in a self-consistent theory of quantum gravity, the strength of gravity is bounded from above by the strengths of the various gauge forces in the theory. In particular, this intriguing conjecture…
It is well known that pretameness implies the forcing theorem, and that pretameness is characterized by the preservation of the axioms of $\mathsf{ZF}^-$, that is $\mathsf{ZF}$ without the power set axiom, or equivalently, by the…
We present and analyze $F_\sigma$-Mathias forcing, which is similar but tamer than Mathias forcing. In particular, we show that this forcing preserves certain weak subsystems of second-order arithmetic such as $\mathsf{ACA}_0$ and…
We show that the Proper Forcing Axiom for forcing notions of size $\aleph_1$ is consistent with the continuum being arbitrarily large. In fact, assuming $GCH$ holds and $\kappa\geq\omega_2$ is a regular cardinal, we prove that there is a…
In this note we will discuss a new reflection principle which follows from the Proper Forcing Axiom. The immediate purpose will be to prove that the bounded form of the Proper Forcing Axiom implies both that 2^omega = omega_2 and that…
The preservation theorems for semi-properness, hemi-properness, and pseudo-completeness hold for countable support iterations as well as revised countable support iterations, notwithstanding the fact that the "factor lemma" fails for the…
In this paper we develop cyclic proof systems for the problem of inclusion between the least sets of models of mutually recursive predicates, when the ground constraints in the inductive definitions belong to the quantifier-free fragments…
The main purpose of this survey is to gather results on the boundedness of the Bergman projection. First, we shall go over some equivalent norms on weighted Bergman spaces $A^p_\omega$ which are useful in the study of this question. In…
We try to control many cardinal characteristics by working with a notion of orthogonality between two families of forcings. We show that b^+<g is consistent
