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"…
We show that the theory $\mathsf{WKL}^*_0+\mathsf{CAC}$ is polynomially simulated by $\mathsf{RCA}_0^*$ with respect to $\forall\Pi^0_3$ formulas. For the proof, we use the method of forcing interpretations and syntactically simulate a…
We investigate how set-theoretic forcing can be seen as a computational process on the models of set theory. Given an oracle for information about a model of set theory $\langle M,\in^M\rangle$, we explain senses in which one may compute…
We present an SMT-based active learning algorithm for nondeterministic weighted automata (WFAs) as a practical and robust alternative to Hankel/L*-style methods. Our algorithm is parametric in a given semiring and, if it terminates,…
Answering two questions of D. Fremlin [Real-valued measurable cardinals, in Set Theory of the Reals, H. Judah ed. 1993, 151-305 ] we show the following: (1) If c is real-valued measurable then the Maharam type of (c,P(c),sigma) is 2^c. (2)…
We deal with an iteration theorem of forcing notion with a kind of countable support of nice enough forcing notion which is proper aleph_2-c.c. forcing notions. We then look at some special cases (Q_D 's preceded by random forcing).
A $\sigma$-ideal $\cal{I}$ on a set $X$ is supersaturated if for every family $\cal{F}$ of $\cal{I}$-positive sets with $|\cal{F}| < \mathrm{add}(\cal{I})$, there exists a countable set that meets every set in $\cal{F}$. We show that many…
In this paper we consider the Foreman's maximality principle, which says that any non-trivial forcing notion either adds a new real or collapses some cardinals. We prove the consistency of some of its consequences. We prove that it is…
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…
We show that if $cf(2^{\aleph_0})=\aleph_1,$ then any non-trivial $\aleph_1$-closed forcing notion of size $\leq 2^{\aleph_0}$ is forcing equivalent to $Add(\aleph_1, 1),$ the Cohen forcing for adding a new Cohen subset of $\omega_1.$ We…
The Steprans forcing notion arises as a quotient of Borel sets modulo the ideal of $\sigma$-continuity of a certain Borel not $\sigma$-continuous function. We give a characterization of this forcing in the language of trees and using this…
For a twisted $C^*$-dynamical system $(\mathscr{A},\mathbb{R}^n,\alpha,e)$ over a unital $C^*$-algebra we establish a weakly parametric pseudodifferential calculus analogously to the celebrated weakly parametric calculus due to Grubb and…
We study the logical content of several maximality principles related to the finite intersection principle ($F\IP$) in set theory. Classically, these are all equivalent to the axiom of choice, but in the context of reverse mathematics their…
We build a supercompact version of the forcing defined in \cite{gitik2019}. For each singular cardinal in the ground model with any fixed cofinality, which is a limit of supercompact cardinals, it is possible to force so that the size of…
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…
We bring forward a logical system of transition algebras that enhances many-sorted first-order logic using features from dynamic logics. The sentences we consider include compositions, unions, and transitive closures of transition…
We show that it is possible to define a realizability interpretation for the $\Sigma_2$-fragment of classical Analysis using G\"odel's System T only. This supplements a previous result of Schwichtenberg regarding bar recursion at types 0…
The bounded proper forcing axiom BPFA is the statement that for any family of aleph_1 many maximal antichains of a proper forcing notion, each of size aleph_1, there is a directed set meeting all these antichains. A regular cardinal kappa…
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 introduce an iteration of forcing notions satisfying the countable chain condition with minimal damage to a strong coloring. Applying this method, we prove that Martin's axiom is strictly stronger than its restriction to forcing notions…
