We prove the consistency of $\binom{\mu^+}{\mu}\nrightarrow\binom{\mu^+ \omega_1}{\mu\ \mu}$ where $\mu$ is a strong limit singular cardinal of countable cofinality. This result can be forced at limit of measurable cardinals and at small…
Cardinal characteristics of the continuum represent the boundaries in size between the countable and the continuum with respect to certain properties of sets. They are often defined as the minimum sizes of families of reals that meet some…
Given a strong limit cardinal $\lambda$ of countable cofinality, we show that if every $\lambda$-coanalytic subset of the generalised Cantor space ${}^{\lambda}2$ has the $\lambda$-$\mathsf{PSP}$, then there is an inner model with…
Cardinality matching is a computational method for finding the largest possible number of matched pairs of exposed and unexposed individuals from an observational dataset, with specified patterns of baseline characteristics that represent a…
Individual choices often depend on the order in which the decisions are made. In this paper, we expose a general theory of measurable systems (an example of which is an individual's preferences) allowing for incompatible (non-commuting)…
The $L^{p,\infty}$ quasi-norm of functions on a measure space can be characterized in terms of their pairing with normalized characteristic functions. We generalize this result to the case of the outer $L^{p,\infty}$ quasi-norms for…
One of the numerous characterizations of a Ramsey cardinal kappa involves the existence of certain types of elementary embeddings for transitive sets of size \kappa satisfying a large fragment of ZFC. We introduce new large cardinal axioms…
We study several intertwined hierarchies between $\kappa$-Ramsey cardinals and measurable cardinals to illuminate the structure of the large cardinal hierarchy in this region. In particular, we study baby versions of measurability…
A combinatorial characterization of measurable filters on a countable set is found. We apply it to the problem of measurability of the intersection of nonmeasurable filters.
Solovay's random-real forcing (1971) is the standard way of producing real-valued measurable cardinals. Following questions of Fremlin, by giving a new construction, we show that there are combinatorial, measure-theoretic properties of…
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 show that if the upper Assouad dimension of the compact set $E\subseteq \mathbb{R}$ is positive, then given any $D>\dim_{A}E$ there is a measure with support $E$ and upper Assouad (or regularity) dimension $D$. Similarly, given any…
Let P be the direct product of countably many copies of the additive group Z of integers. We study, from a set-theoretic point of view, those subgroups of P for which all homomorphisms to Z annihilate all but finitely many of the standard…
It is proved to be consistent relative to a measurable cardinal that there is a uniform ultrafilter on the real numbers which is generated by fewer than the maximum possible number of sets. It is also shown to be consistent relative to a…
For metrizable spaces we replace the notion of almost periodic homeomorphism with a similar notion and verify that the usual characterizations of almost periodic homeomorphisms of compact metric spaces are valid for all metrizable spaces.
From a suitable large cardinal hypothesis, we provide a model with a supercompact cardinal in which universal indestructibility holds: every supercompact and partially supercompact cardinal kappa is fully indestructible by kappa-directed…
We prove that, in the Baire category sense, a typical measure supported by a compact set admits a linear lower singularity spectrum. We investigate the same question for the upper singularity spectrum and for other forms of genericity.
One of the hallmarks of quantum theory is the realization that distinct measurements cannot in general be performed simultaneously, in stark contrast to classical physics. In this context the notions of coexistence and joint measurability…
One possible natural monotone version of countable paracompactness, MCP, turns out to have some interesting properties. We investigate various other possible monotonizations of countable paracompactness and how they are related.
A brief discussion is given of measurement within the context of a theory of "beables", e.g. theories of de Broglie, Bohm, Bell, Vink, and also "modal" theories. It is shown that even in an ideal von Neumann measurement of a beable, the…
