Coherent control of wave transmission and reflection is crucial for applications in communication, imaging, and sensing. However, many practical scenarios involve partially coherent waves rather than fully coherent ones. We present a…
The notion of super weak compactness for subsets of Banach spaces is a strengthening of the weak compactness that can be described as a local version of super-reflexivity. A recent result of K. Tu which establishes that the closed convex…
We recently formulated a new large-cardinal axiom of strength intermediate between a totally indescribable cardinal and an $\omega$-Erd\H{o}s cardinal, positing the existence of what we called an "extremely reflective cardinal", and we…
Reflection principles (or dually speaking, compactness principles) often give rise to combinatorial guessing principles. Uniformization properties, on the other hand, are examples of anti-guessing principles. We discuss the tension and the…
We unveil new patterns of Structural Reflection in the large-cardinal hierarchy below the first measurable cardinal. Namely, we give two different characterizations of strongly unfoldable and subtle cardinals in terms of a weak form of the…
We discuss some well-known compactness principles for uncountable structures of small regular sizes ($\omega_n$ for $2 \le n<\omega$, $\aleph_{\omega+1}$, $\aleph_{\omega^2+1}$, etc.), consistent from weakly compact (the size-restricted…
The property that a Jacobi matrix is reflectionless is usually characterized either in terms of Weyl m-functions or the vanishing of the real part of the boundary values of the diagonal matrix elements of the resolvent. We introduce a…
A stationary subset $S$ of a regular uncountable cardinal $\kappa$ {\it reflects fully} at regular cardinals if for every stationary set $T \subseteq \kappa$ of higher order consisting of regular cardinals there exists an $\alpha \in T$…
We show that it is consistent, relative to $\omega$ many supercompact cardinals, that the super tree property holds at $\aleph_n$ for all $2 \leq n < \omega$ but there are weak square and a very good scale at $\aleph_{\omega}$.
We prove that successors of singular limits of strongly compact cardinals have the strong tree property. We also prove that aleph_{omega+1} can consistently satisfy the strong tree property.
A property of weak stationarity of a matrix valued differential form at superdensity points of its vanishing set is proved. This result is then applied in the context of the Maurer-Cartan equation.
We analyze a natural function definable from a scale at a singular cardinal, and using this function we are able to obtain quite strong negative square-brackets partition relations at successors of singular cardinals. The proof of our main…
Let kappa be a regular uncountable cardinal and lambda >=kappa^+ . The principle of stationary reflection for P_kappa lambda has been successful in settling problems of infinite combinatorics in the case kappa=omega_1. For a greater kappa…
Motivated by two open questions about two-cardinal tree properties, we introduce and study generalized narrow system properties. The first of these questions asks whether the strong tree property at a regular cardinal $\kappa \geq \omega_2$…
We prove a variety of theorems about stationary set reflection and concepts related to internal approachability. We prove that an implication of Fuchino-Usuba relating stationary reflection to a version of Strong Chang's Conjecture cannot…
From many supercompact cardinals, we show that it is consistent for the tree property to hold at many small successors of singular cardinals, each with a different cofinality. In particular, we construct a model in which the tree property…
The inner model problem for supercompact cardinals, one of the central open problems in modern set theory, asks whether there is a canonical model of set theory with a supercompact cardinal. The problem is closely related to the more…
We announce some consequences of an abstract comparison principle.
Rado's Conjecture is a compactness/reflection principle that says any nonspecial tree of height $\omega_1$ has a nonspecial subtree of size $\leq \aleph_1$. Though incompatible with Martin's Axiom, Rado's Conjecture turns out to have many…
Strong reflection principles with the reflection cardinal $\leq\aleph_1$ or $<2^{\aleph_0}$ imply that the size of the continuum is either $\aleph_1$ or $\aleph_2$ or very large. Thus, the stipulation, that a strong reflection principle…
