Using Shelah's revised GCH theorem we prove that if mu<beth_omega <= lambda are cardinals, then every mu-almost disjoint subfamily B of [lambda]^{beth_omega} is essentially disjoint, i.e. for each b from B there is a subset f(b) of b of…

Suppose that lambda is the successor of a singular cardinal mu whose cofinality is an uncountable cardinal kappa. We give a sufficient condition that the club filter of lambda concentrating on the points of cofinality kappa is not…

We prove that for infinite cardinals $\kappa<\lambda$ the alternating group $Alt(\lambda)$ (of even permutations) of $\lambda$ is not embeddable into the symmetric group $Sym(\kappa)$ (of all permutations) of $\kappa$. To prove this fact we…

A. Hajnal and P. Erd\H{o}s proved that a graph with uncountable chromatic number cannot avoid short cycles, it must contain for example $ C_4 $ (among other obligatory subgraphs). It was shown recently by D. T. Soukup that, in contrast of…

We prove that consistently, cov($\mathcal{M})< \lambda_\mathbf{0} < \lambda_\mathbf{1} < \lambda_\mathbf{\infty} < 2^{\aleph_0}$, where $\lambda_\mathbf{0}$ denotes the weak Borel chromatic number of the Kechris-Solecki-Todor\v{c}evi\'c…

In this paper we analyze the connection between some properties of partially strongly compact cardinals: the completion of filters of certain size and instances of the compactness of $\mathcal{L}_{\kappa,\kappa}$. Using this equivalence we…

We systematically determine circular chromatic index of small graphs and multigraphs with maximum degree $4$, $5$, $6$ (and also their number for a given small order). We construct several infinite families of such graphs with circular…

We prove the consistency of: for suitable strongly inaccessible cardinal lambda the dominating number, i.e., the cofinality of ^{lambda}lambda, is strictly bigger than cov_lambda(meagre), i.e. the minimal number of nowhere dense subsets of…

We consider, for infinite cardinals kappa and alpha <= kappa^+, the group Pi(kappa,< alpha) of sequences of integers, of length kappa, with non-zero entries in fewer than alpha positions. Our main result tells when Pi(kappa,< alpha) can be…

We show that the definition of caliber given by Engelking in R. Engelking, "General topology", Sigma series in pure mathematics, Heldermann, vol. 6, 1989, which we will call caliber*, differs from the traditional notion of this concept in…

Let kappa be an uncountable regular cardinal. Assuming 2^kappa=kappa^+, we show that the clone lattice on a set of size kappa is not dually atomic.

We define a weak iterability notion that is sufficient for a number of arguments concerning $\Sigma_1$-definability at uncountable regular cardinals. In particular we give its exact consistency strength firstly in terms of the second…

We prove that if cf(lambda) > aleph_0 and 2^{cf(lambda)}<lambda, then lambda->(lambda,omega+1)^2.

Let $\kappa$ be a regular cardinal. Consider the Baire numbers of the spaces $(2^{\theta})_\kappa$ (functions from $\theta$ to 2 and the less than $\kappa$ topology) for various $\theta \geq \kappa$. Let l be the number of such different…

A Tychonoff space $X$ is called $\kappa$-pseudocompact if for every continuous mapping $f$ of $X$ into $\mathbb{R}^\kappa$ the image $f(X)$ is compact. This notion generalizes pseudocompactness and gives a stratification of spaces lying…

We give another proof that for every lambda >= beth_omega for every large enough regular kappa < beth_omega we have lambda^{[kappa]}= lambda, dealing with sufficient conditions for replacing beth_omega by aleph_omega. In section 2 we show…

If $\kappa$ is regular and $2^{<\kappa}\leq\kappa^+$, then the existence of a weakly presaturated ideal on $\kappa^+$ implies $\square^*_\kappa$. This partially answers a question of Foreman and Magidor about the approachability ideal on…

This is a slightly corrected version of an old work. Under certain cardinal arithmetic assumptions, we prove that for every large enough regular $\lambda$ cardinal, for many regular $\kappa < \lambda$, many stationary subsets of $\lambda$…

We try to build, provably in ZFC, for a first order T a model in which any isomorphism between two Boolean algebras is definable. The problem, compared to [Sh:384], is with pseudo-finite Boolean algebras. A side benefit is that we do not…

We prove that the existence of a complete metric space of cardinality at most $2^{\kappa}$ admitting Kuratowski partition is a consequence of $\kappa$ being the smallest real-valued measurable cardinal not greater than $ 2^{\aleph_0}$.
