We construct a computable sequence of computable reals $\langle X_i\rangle$ such that any real that can compute a subsequence that is maximal with respect to the finite intersection property can also compute a Cohen 1-generic. This is…
The paper is an extensive and systematic study of cardinal invariants we call slalom numbers, describing the combinatorics of sequences of sets of natural numbers. Our general approach, based on relational systems, covers many such cardinal…
We show that it is consistent that the continuum is as large as you wish, and for each uncountable cardinal $\kappa$ below the continuum, there are a subset $T$ of the reals and a family $A$ of countable subsets of $T$ such that (1) both…
We to a large extent sort out when does a (first order complete theory) T have a superlimit model in a cardinal lambda . Also we deal with relation notions of being limit.
Denote by $\continuum=2^{\aleph_0}$ the cardinal of continuum. We construct an intriguing family $(P_\alpha: \alpha\in\continuum)$ of prime $z$-ideals in $\C_0(\reals)$ with the following properties: If $f\in P_{i_0}$ for some…
We introduce several new set-theoretic axioms formulated in terms of coloring of ordinals by reals. We show that these axioms generalize the axioms considered by I.Juhasz, L.Soukup and Z.Szentmiklossy, and give a class of p.o.s including…
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…
In generalization of knot quandles we introduce similar algebraic structures associated with arbitrary pairs consisting of a path-connected topological space and its path-connected subspace.
We continue the investigations in the author's book on cardinal arithmetic, assuming some knowledge of it. We deal with the cofinality of (S_{<= aleph_0}(kappa), subseteq) for kappa real valued measurable (Section 3), densities of box…
We prove the following continuous analogue of Vaught's Two-Cardinal Theorem: if for some $\kappa>\lambda\geq \aleph_0$, a continuous theory $T$ has a model with density character $\kappa$ which has a definable subset of density character…
We establish some similarities/analogies between uncountable cardinals or powersets and the class $V$ of all sets. They concern mainly the Boolean algebras ${\cal P}(\kappa)$, for a regular cardinal $\kappa$, and ${\cal C}(V)$ (the class of…
Let kappa be an uncountable regular cardinal. Call an equivalence relation on functions from kappa into 2 Sigma_1^1-definable over H(kappa) if there is a first order sentence F and a parameter R subseteq H(kappa) such that functions…
We classify the complementary vectors of doubly Cohen-Macaulay complexes. This proves a conjecture of Swartz, negatively answers a question of Athanasiadis and Tzanaki, and gives new bounds on the number of independent sets in a matroid.…
Let $X$ be a set, $\ka$ be a cardinal number and let $\iH$ be a family of subsets of $X$ which covers each $x\in X$ at least $\ka$ times. What assumptions can ensure that $\iH$ can be decomposed into $\kappa$ many disjoint subcovers? We…
It is shown, from hypotheses in the region of $\omega^2$ Woodin cardinals, that there is a transitive model of KP + AD$_\mathbb{R}$ containing all reals.
We survey old and recent results on the problem of finding a complete set of rules describing the behavior of the power function, i.e. the function which takes a cardinal $\kappa$ to the cardinality of its power $2^\kappa$.
We formulate the Hauptvermutung of Causal Set Theory in two mathematically well-defined but different ways one of which turns out to be wrong and the other one turns out to be true. A further result is that the Hauptvermutung is true if we…
We provide a formal introduction into the classic theorems of general topology and its axiomatic foundations in set theory. Starting from ZFC, the exposition in this first part includes relation and order theory as well as a construction of…
Four constructions result from a desire to create enhancements to Cantor's infinite real set cardinality. Each continues to keep Cantor's cardinality formulation in place while providing new comparisons of arbitrary infinite sets. To…
We use Shelah's theory of possible cofinalities in order to solve a problem about ultrafilters. THEOREM. Suppose that $ \lambda $ is a singular cardinal, $ \lambda ' < \lambda $, and the ultrafilter $D$ is $ \kappa $-decomposable for all…
