We provide a complete classification of all the possible categoricity spectra, in terms of internal size, that can appear in a large accessible category with directed colimits, assuming the Singular Cardinal Hypothesis ($SCH$), and…
We construct a family F of compact and pathwise connected subsets of the Euclidean plane such that (i) the cardinality of F is that of the continuum (and hence extremely large) and (ii) if X,Y are distinct spaces in F then there never…
We provide a model theoretical and tree property like characterization of $\lambda$-$\Pi^1_1$-subcompactness and supercompactness. We explore the behaviour of those combinatorial principles at accessible cardinals.
One of the most famous results in Complex Analysis is the Little Picard Theorem, that characterizes the image set of an arbitrary entire function. Specifically, the theorem states that this image set is either the whole complex plane or the…
We show that the notions of generic and Laver-generic supercompactness are first-order definable in the language of ZFC. This also holds for generic and Laver-generic (almost) hugeness as well as for generic versions of other large…
We study relationships between various set theoretic compactness principles, focusing on the interplay between the three families of combinatorial objects or principles mentioned in the title. Specifically, we show the following. (1) Strong…
Given a Woodin cardinal $\delta$, I show that if $F$ is any Easton function with $F"\delta\subseteq\delta$ and $\GCH$ holds, then there is a cofinality-preserving forcing extension in which $2^\gamma= F(\gamma)$ for each regular cardinal…
A simple criterion for a functor to be finitary is presented: we call $F$ finitely bounded if for all objects $X$ every finitely generated subobject of $FX$ factorizes through the $F$-image of a finitely generated subobject of $X$. This is…
Answering a question of Ketonen from the late 1970's, it is proved that a weakly compact cardinal carrying an indecomposable ultrafilter need not be measurable. The result is obtained by analyzing the limit of a decreasing sequence of…
Under the assumption that $\delta$ is a Woodin cardinal and $\GCH$ holds, I show that if $F$ is any class function from the regular cardinals to the cardinals such that (1) $\kappa<\cf(F(\kappa))$, (2) $\kappa<\lambda$ implies…
Let $\Gamma^\infty$ be the set of all universally Baire sets of reals. Inspired by recent work of the second author and Nam Trang, we introduce a new technique for establishing generic absoluteness results for models containing…
In the context of large cardinals, the classical diamond principle Diamond_kappa is easily strengthened in natural ways. When kappa is a measurable cardinal, for example, one might ask that a Diamond_kappa sequence anticipate every subset…
The elementary affine lambda-calculus was introduced as a polyvalent setting for implicit computational complexity, allowing for characterizations of polynomial time and hyperexponential time predicates. But these results rely on type…
We prove that if there are $\mathfrak c$ incomparable selective ultrafilters then, for every infinite cardinal $\kappa$ such that $\kappa^\omega=\kappa$, there exists a group topology on the free Abelian group of cardinality $\kappa$…
Through the notion of weakly sound class of weights, we recover many known dualities involving accessible categories with a chosen class of limits, as instances of a general duality theorem. These include the Gabriel-Ulmer duality for…
We determine the large cardinal consistency strength of the existence of a $\lambda$-supercompact cardinal $\kappa$ such that GCH fails at $\lambda$. Indeed, we show that the existence of a $\lambda$-supercompact cardinal $\kappa$ such that…
We extend Makkai duality between coherent toposes and ultracategories to a duality between toposes with enough points and ultraconvergence spaces. Our proof generalizes and simplifies Makkai's original proof. Our main result can also be…
If T is an iteration tree on K and F is a countably certified extender that coheres with the final model of T, then F is on the extender sequence of the final model of T. Several applications of maximality are proved, including: o K…
A Quillen model structure is presented by an interacting pair of weak factorization systems. We prove that in the world of locally presentable categories, any weak factorization system with accessible functorial factorizations can be lifted…
In the absence of the Axiom of Choice, the "small" cardinal $\omega_1$ can exhibit properties more usually associated with large cardinals, such as strong compactness and supercompactness. For a local version of strong compactness, we say…
