If $S,T$ are stationary subsets of a regular uncountable cardinal $\kappa$, we say that $S$ reflects fully in $T$, $S<T$, if for almost all $\alpha \in T$ (except a nonstationary set) $S \cap \alpha$ is stationary in $\alpha .$ This…
In the context of generalized descriptive set theory, we systematically compare and analyze various notions of Polish-like spaces and standard $\kappa$-Borel spaces for $\kappa$ an uncountable (regular) cardinal satisfying $\kappa^{<\kappa}…
The {\em Singular Cardinal Hypothesis} (SCH) is one of the most classical combinatorial principles in set theory. It says that if $\kappa$ is singular strong limit, then $2^{\kappa}=\kappa^+$. We prove that given a singular cardinal…
Suppose that kappa is a singular cardinal of cofinality omega and GCH holds. Assume that for every n<omega the set of alphas with o(alpha)>= alpha^{+n} is unbounded in kappa.Then there is a cardinal preserving extension satisfying…
The paper settles the problem of the consistency of the existence of a single universal graph between a strong limit singular and its power. Assuming that in a model of $\mathbf{GCH}$ $\kappa$ is supercompact and the cardinals $\theta <…
In this article we prove three main theorems: (1) guessing models are internally unbounded, (2) for any regular cardinal $\kappa \ge \omega_2$, $\textsf{ISP}(\kappa)$ implies that $\textsf{SCH}$ holds above $\kappa$, and (3) forcing posets…
We show that it is consistent relative to a huge cardinal that for all infinite cardinals $\kappa$, $\square_\kappa$ holds and there is a stationary $S \subseteq \kappa^+$ such that $\mathrm{NS}_{\kappa^+} \restriction S$ is…
We show that supercompactness and strong compactness can be equivalent even as properties of pairs of regular cardinals. Specifically, we show that if V models ZFC + GCH is a given model (which in interesting cases contains instances of…
Assuming $\kappa$ is a supercompact cardinal and $\lambda$ is an inaccessible cardinal above it, we present an idea due to Magidor, to find a generic extension in which $\kappa=\aleph_\omega$ and $\lambda=\aleph_{\omega+1}.$
We show that an embedding of a fixed 0-dimensional compact space $K$ into the \v{C}ech--Stone remainder $\omega^*$ as a nowhere dense P-set is the unique generic limit, a special object in the category consisting of all continuous maps from…
We solve a long standing question due to Arhangel'skii by constructing a compact space which has a $G_\delta$ cover with no continuum-sized ($G_\delta$)-dense subcollection. We also prove that in a countably compact weakly Lindel\"of normal…
If kappa is strongly compact, lambda > kappa is regular, then (2^{< lambda})^+ --> (lambda+eta)^2_theta holds for eta,theta<kappa.
We prove that the strong polarized relation of $\theta$ above $\omega$ applied simultaneously for every cardinal in the interval $[\aleph_1,\aleph]$ is consistent. We conclude that this positive relation is consistent for every cardinal…
Let $\kappa$ be an uncountable cardinal with $\kappa=\kappa^{{<}\kappa}$. Given a cardinal $\mu$, we equip the set ${}^\kappa\mu$ consisting of all functions from $\kappa$ to $\mu$ with the topology whose basic open sets consist of all…
We show, assuming the consistency of one measurable cardinal, that it is consistent for there to be exactly kappa+ many normal measures on the least measurable cardinal kappa. This answers a question of Stewart Baldwin. The methods…
An $\omega_1$-compact space is a space in which every closed discrete subspace is countable. We give various general conditions under which a locally compact, $\omega_1$-compact space is $\sigma$-countably compact, i.e., the union of…
Given a regular cardinal $\kappa$ such that $\kappa^{<\kappa}=\kappa$, we study a class of toposes with enough points, the $\kappa$-separable toposes. These are equivalent to sheaf toposes over a site with $\kappa$-small limits that has at…
We give full characterization of the sequences of regular cardinals that may arise as cardinal sequences of locally compact scattered spaces under GCH. The proofs are based on constructions of universal locally compact scattered spaces.
In this paper, we prove that if $\kappa$ is a almost strongly compact cardinal, then any MAEC with L\"owenheim-Skolem number below $\kappa$ is $<\kappa$-d-tame.
A simple \(P_\lambda\)-point on a regular cardinal \(\kappa\) is a uniform ultrafilter on \(\kappa\) with a mod-bounded decreasing generating sequence of length \(\lambda\). We prove that if there is a simple $P_\lambda$-point ultrafilter…
