We show the consistency of ZFC +''there is no NWD-ultrafilter on omega'', which means: for every non principle ultrafilter D on the set of natural numbers, there is a function f from the set of natural numbers to the reals, such that for…

Given sets $X,Y$ and a regular cardinal $\mu$, let $\Phi(X,Y,\mu)$ be the statement that for any function $f : X \times Y \to \mu$, there are functions $g_1 : X \to \mu$ and $g_2 : Y \to \mu$ such that or all $(x,y) \in X \times Y$,…

A property of a filter, a kind of large cardinal property, suffices for the proof in Liu Shelah [LiSh:484] and is proved consistent as required there. A natural property which looks better, not only is not obtained here, but is shown to be…

It is proved that every singular cardinal $\lambda$ admits a function $RTS:[\lambda^+]^2\rightarrow[\lambda^+]^2$ that transforms rectangles into squares. Namely, for every cofinal subsets $A,B$ of $\lambda^+$, there exists a cofinal subset…

We generalise Jensen's result on the incompatibility of subcompactness with square. We show that alpha^+-subcompactness of some cardinal less than or equal to alpha precludes square_alpha, but also that square may be forced to hold…

In this article we proved so-called strong reflection principles corresponding to formal theories Th which has omega-models. An posible generalization of the Lob's theorem is considered.Main results is: (1) let $k$ be an inaccessible…

We consider a basis of square integrable functions on a rectangle, contained in $R^2$, constructed with Legendre polynomials, suitable, for instance, for the analogical description of images on the plane or in other fields of application of…

We prove that \textsf{P}-points (even strong P-points) and Gruff ultrafilters exist in any forcing extension obtained by adding fewer than $\aleph_{\omega}% $-many random reals to a model of \textsf{CH. }These results improve and correct…

We prove the following two results. Theorem A: Let alpha be a limit ordinal. Suppose that 2^{|alpha|}<aleph_alpha and 2^{|alpha|^+}<aleph_{|alpha|^+}, whereas aleph_alpha^{|alpha|}>aleph_{|alpha|^+}. Then for all n< omega and for all…

In [1] the authors showed some basic properties of a pre-order that arose in combinatorial number theory, namely the finite embeddability between sets of natural numbers, and they presented its generalization to ultrafilters, which is…

Motivated by Keisler's order, a far-reaching program of understanding basic model-theoretic structure through the lens of regular ultrapowers, we prove that for a class of regular filters $D$ on $I$, $|I| = \lambda > \aleph_0$, the fact…

In this paper, we obtain the consistency, relative to large cardinals, of the existence of dense ideals on every successor of a regular cardinal simultaneously. Using a consequent transfer principle, we show that in this model there is a…

We give two results on guessing unbounded subsets of lambda^+. The first is a positive result and applies to the situation of lambda regular and at least equal to aleph_3, while the second is a negative consistency result which applies to…

We describe a framework for proving consistency results about singular cardinals of arbitrary cofinality and their successors. This framework allows the construction of models in which the Singular Cardinals Hypothesis fails at a singular…

We complete the characterization of the possible spectrum of regular ultrafilters D on a set I, where the spectrum is the set of infinite cardinals which are ultraproducts of finite cardinals modulo D.

We construct spectral triples for compact metric spaces (X, d). This provides us with a new metric d_s on X. We study its relation with the original metric d. When X is a subshift space, or a discrete tiling space, and d satisfies certain…

We introduce a covering notion depending on two cardinals, which we call $\mathcal O $-$ [ \mu, \lambda ]$-compactness, and which encompasses both pseudocompactness and many other generalizations of pseudocompactness. For Tychonoff spaces,…

We introduce the notion of a coherent $P$-ultrafilter on a complete ccc Boolean algebra, strenghtening the notion of a $P$-point on $\omega$, and show that these ultrafilters exist generically under ${\mathfrak c} = {\mathfrak d}$. This…

We investigate forms of filter extension properties in the two-cardinal setting involving filters on $P_\kappa(\lambda)$. We generalize the filter games introduced by Holy and Schlicht in \cite{HolySchlicht:HierarchyRamseyLikeCardinals} to…

We prove that, for an arbitrary topological space $X$, the following two conditions are equivalent: (a) Every open cover of $X$ has a finite subset with dense union (b) $X$ is $D$-pseudocompact, for every ultrafilter $D$. Locally, our…
