Cummings, Foreman, and Magidor investigated the extent to which square principles are compact at singular cardinals. The first author proved that if $\kappa$ is a singular strong limit of uncountable cofinality, all scales on $\kappa$ are…

We develop Descriptive Set Theory in Generalized Baire Spaces without assuming $\kappa^{<\kappa}=\kappa$. We point out that without this assumption the basic topological concepts of these spaces have to be slightly modified in order to…

We consider different classes of combinatory structures related to Krivine realizability. We show, in the precise sense that they give rise to the same class of triposes, that they are equivalent for the purpose of modeling higher-order…

In this paper we investigate more characterizations and applications of $\delta$-strongly compact cardinals. We show that, for a cardinal $\kappa$ the following are equivalent: (1) $\kappa$ is $\delta$-strongly compact, (2) For every…

We prove a weakened version of the reflection of Reinhardt cardinals by super Reinhardt cardinals: Let $M=(V^M,P)$ be a countable model of second order set theory $\mathsf{ZF}_2$ (with universe $V^M$ and classes $P$) which models "$\kappa$…

For $\kappa$ a regular uncountable cardinal, the higher Baire and Cantor spaces ${}^\kappa\kappa$ and ${}^\kappa2$ (endowed with the ${<}\kappa$-box topology) have been relatively well-studied, but less is known about the case where…

Consider $(\kappa^{+++},\kappa^{++}) \twoheadrightarrow (\kappa^+,\kappa)$ where $\kappa$ is an uncountable regular cardinal. By a result of Shelah's we have $\operatorname{cof}(X \cap \kappa^{++}) = \kappa$ for almost all $X \subset…

This paper introduces the seed order, a partial order of the class of uniform countably complete ultrafilters that generalizes the Mitchell order on normal measures. Like that order, the seed order is consistently a linear ordering even…

We prove the consistency of the statement $\mathfrak{u}_{\aleph_\omega}<2^{\aleph_\omega}$. We show that the consistency strength of this statement is exactly a measurable cardinal $\mu$ so that $o(\mu)=\mu^{++}$.

We prove that the order of an ordered group is an interval order if and only if it is a semiorder. Next, we prove that every semiorder is isomorphic to a collection $\mathcal J$ of intervals of some totally ordered abelian group, these…

The main result of this paper is to show that, if $\kappa$ is the smallest real-valued measurable cardinal not greater than $ 2^{\aleph_0}$, then there exists a complete metric space of cardinality not greater than $ 2^{\kappa}$ admitting a…

We prove the existence and uniqueness of multiple SLE$_\kappa$ associated with any given link pattern for $\kappa\in (4,6]$. We also have the uniqueness for $\kappa\in (6,8)$. The multiple SLE$_\kappa$ law is constructed by first…

For a cardinal kappa and a model M of cardinality kappa let No(M) denote the number of non-isomorphic models of cardinality kappa which are L_{infty,kappa}--equivalent to M. In [Sh:133] Shelah established that when kappa is a weakly compact…

We introduce and study a new type of compactness principle for strong logics that, roughly speaking, infers the consistency of a theory from the consistency of its small fragments in certain outer models of the set-theoretic universe. We…

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…

For each countable ordinal $\alpha$, we introduce an ideal $conv_\alpha$ and use it to characterize the class of all compact countable spaces which are homeomorphic to the space $\omega^{\alpha}\cdot n+1$ with the order topology. The…

The $\kappa$-topologies on the spaces $\mathscr{D}_{L^p}$, $L^p$ and $\mathscr{M}^1$ are defined by a neighbourhood basis consisting of polars of absolutely convex and compact subsets of their (pre-)dual spaces. In many cases it is more…

Our aim is to prove that if T is a complete first order theory, which is not superstable (no knowledge on this notion is required), included in a theory T_1 then for any lambda > |T_1| there are 2^lambda models of T_1 such that for any two…

We use a natural forcing to construct a left-separated topology on an arbitrary cardinal kappa. The resulting left-separated space X_kappa is also 0-dimensional T_2, hereditarily Lindelof, and countably tight. Moreover if kappa is regular…

This is part I of a study on cardinals that are characterizable by Scott sentences. Building on [3], [6] and [1] we study which cardinals are characterizable by a Scott sentence $\phi$, in the sense that $\phi$ characterizes $\kappa$, if…
