Under large cardinal hypotheses beyond the Kunen inconsistency -- hypotheses so strong as to contradict the Axiom of Choice -- we solve several variants of the generalized continuum problem and identify structural features of the levels…

We investigate the class of models of a general dependent theory. We continue math.LO/0702292 in particular investigating so called "decomposition of types"; thesis is that what holds for stable theory and for Th(Q,<) hold for dependent…

We consider near-extremal membranes embedded in M-theory, consistently truncated to gauged $\mathcal{N} = 2$ supergravity in four dimensions on the coset space $M^{1,1,0}$. These are holographically dual to $2 + 1$ dimensional…

We show that if M is a stable unsuperstable homogeneous structure, then for most kappa < |M|, the number of elementary submodels of M of power kappa is 2^kappa .

An almost K\"ahler structure is {\it extremal} if the Hermitian scalar curvature is a Killing potential [29]. When the almost complex structure is integrable it coincides with extremal K\"ahler metric in the sense of Calabi [8]. We observe…

Quantum fields in compact stars can be amplified due to a semiclassical instability. This generic feature of scalar fields coupled to curvature may affect the birth and the equilibrium structure of relativistic stars. We point out that the…

We study the conditions under which a generic supergravity model involving chiral and vector multiplets can admit viable metastable vacua with spontaneously broken supersymmetry and realistic cosmological constant. To do so, we impose that…

We deal with the systematic development of stability for the context of approximate elementary submodels of a monster metric space, which is not far, but still very distinct from the first order case. In particular we prove the analogue of…

We introduce combinatorial principles that characterize strong compactness and supercompactness for inaccessible cardinals but also make sense for successor cardinals. Their consistency is established from what is supposedly optimal.…

This paper is concerned with a class K of models and an abstract notion of submodel <=. Experience in first order model theory has shown the desirability of finding a `monster model' to serve as a universal domain for K. In the original…

We prove that for any homotopy type $X$, there is an abstract elementary class $\mathcal{C}$, with joint embedding, almagamation and no maximal models such that the classifying space realizes the homotopy type $X$. We provide a few explicit…

In this paper we prove that from large cardinals it is consistent that there is a singular strong limit cardinal $\nu$ such that the singular cardinal hypothesis fails at $\nu$ and every collection of fewer than $\mathrm{cf}(\nu)$…

We give a self-contained introduction to accessible categories and how they shed light on both model- and set-theoretic questions. We survey for example recent developments on the study of presentability ranks, a notion of cardinality…

We consider a five-dimensional supergravity model with SU(5) gauge symmetry and the minimal field content. Studying the arising scalar potential we find that the gauging of the $U(1)_R$ symmetry of the five-dimensional supergravity causes…

We study the geometry of unitary Shimura varieties without assuming the existence of an ordinary locus. We prove, by a simple argument, the existence of canonical subgroups on a strict neighborhood of the $\mu$-ordinary locus (with an…

An exact semiclassical version of the classical KAM theorem about small perturbations of vector fields on the torus is given. Moreover, a renormalization theorem based on counterterms for some semiclassical systems that are close to being…

It is well-known that the consistency strength of the GCH failing at a measurable cardinal is the existence of a cardinal $\kappa$ with $o(\kappa)=\kappa^{++}$. As the literature does not contain more than a proof sketch of the lower bound…

We define a class of subsets of a topological space that coincides with the class of compact saturated subsets when the space is sober, and with enough good properties when the space is not sober. This class is introduced especially in view…

Consider a quantum cat map $M$ associated to a matrix $A\in\mathop{\mathrm{Sp}}(2n,\mathbb Z)$, which is a common toy model in quantum chaos. We show that the mass of eigenfunctions of $M$ on any nonempty open set in the position-frequency…

Extending the thoroughly studied theory of group stability, we study Ulam stability type problems for associative and Lie algebras; namely, we investigate obstacles to rank-approximation of almost solutions by exact solutions for systems of…
