It is well known to generalize the meagre ideal replacing aleph_0 by a (regular) cardinal lambda > aleph_0 and requiring the ideal to be lambda^+-complete. But can we generalize the null ideal? In terms of forcing, this means finding a…
The main result of this paper is the proof of the simultaneous consistency, modulo a weakly compact cardinal, of the equality $2^{< \mathfrak{c}} = \mathfrak{c}$ with the following property (*) of partitions of pairs of $\mathfrak{c}$:…
We extend Deligne's original argument showing that locally coherent topoi have enough points, clarified using collage diagrams. We show that our refinement of Deligne's technique can be adapted to recover every existing result of this kind,…
We show that, consistently, every MAD family has cardinality strictly bigger than the dominating number, that is a > d, thus solving one of the oldest problems on cardinal invariants of the continuum. The method is a contribution to the…
Recently it has been proved that, assuming that there is an almost disjoint family of cardinality (2^{\mathfrak c}) in (\mathfrak c) (which is assured, for instance, by either Martin's Axiom, or CH, or even $2^{<\mathfrak c=\mathfrak c$})…
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…
A space X is kappa-resolvable (resp. almost kappa-resolvable) if it contains kappa dense sets that are pairwise disjoint (resp. almost disjoint over the ideal of nowhere dense subsets of X). Answering a problem raised by Juhasz, Soukup, and…
A $\lambda$-quiddity of size $n$ is an $n$-tuple of elements from a fixed set, which is a solution to a matrix equation that arises in the study of Coxeter's friezes. The study of these solutions involves in particular the use of a notion…
This paper makes significant progress towards resolving a conjecture relating strong forcing axioms like $PFA$ and the derived model at a limit of Woodin cardinals $\kappa$. In particular, using a concept called Covering Matrices, we show…
We investigate categoricity of abstract elementary classes without any remnants of compactness (like non-definability of well ordering, existence of E.M. models or existence of large cardinals). We prove (assuming a weak version of GCH…
We prove an asymptotically tight lower bound on $|A+\lambda A|$ for $A\subset \mathbb{C}$ and algebraic integer $\lambda$. The proof combines strong version of Freiman's theorem, structural theorem on dense subsets of a hypercubic lattice…
Suppose that lambda = mu^+. We consider two aspects of the square property on subsets of lambda. First, we have results which show e.g. that for aleph_0 <= kappa =cf (kappa)< mu, the equality cf([mu]^{<= kappa}, subseteq)= mu is a…
Let $\mathcal{I}$ be an ideal on $\omega$. For $f,g\in\omega^\omega$ we write $f \leq_{\mathcal{I}} g$ if $f(n) \leq g(n)$ for all $n\in\omega\setminus A$ with some $A\in\mathcal{I}$. Moreover, we denote…
Let $M$ be a manifold and $\Lambda$ a compact exact connected Lagrangian submanifold of $T^*M$. We can associate with $\Lambda$ a conic Lagrangian submanifold $\Lambda'$ of $T^*(M\times R)$. We prove that there exists a canonical sheaf $F$…
We point out some connections between existence of homogenous sets for certain edge colorings and existence of branches in certain trees. As a consequence, we get that any locally additive coloring (a notion introduced in the paper) of a…
We prove that a variety of generalized cardinal characteristics, including meeting numbers, the reaping number, and the dominating number, satisfy an analogue of the Galvin-Hajnal theorem, and hence also of Silver's theorem, at singular…
Given an ideal $I$ on $\omega$ let $a(I) $ ($\bar{a}(I)$) be minimum of the cardinalities of infinite (uncountable) maximal $I$-almost disjoint subsets of $[{\omega}]^{\omega}$, and denote $b_I$ and$d_I$ the unbounding and dominating…
We investigate the provability of classical combinatorial theorems in ZF. Using combinatorial arguments, we establish the following results for each infinite cardinal ${\kappa}\in On$, (1) ${\kappa}^+\to ({\kappa},{\omega}+1)$, (2) any…
From the research of several recent papers, we are concerned with domination number in cubic graphs and give a sufficient condition for Reed's conjecture.
To any compact $K\subset\hat{\mathbb{C}}$ we associate a map $\lambda_K: \hat{\mathbb{C}}\rightarrow\mathbb{N}\cup\{\infty\}$ -- the lambda function of $K$ -- such that a planar continuum $K$ is locally connected if and only if…
