We give an abstract approach to the results of Adams and Nobel, [1]. It allows to exhibit a new property of VC classes. It should be stressed that the basic ideas of proofs can be found in [1].

Consider an a.e.c. (abstract elementary class), that is, a class K of models with a partial order refining inclusion (submodel) which satisfy the most basic properties of an elementary class. Our test question is trying to show that the…

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 find all subsets of $\mathbb{N}$ which occur as the set of possible cardinalities of preimages of a continuous function. We also study and answer this question for various subclasses of continuous functions.

In the original version of this paper, we assume a theory $T$ that the logic $\mathbb L_{\kappa, \aleph_{0}}$ is categorical in a cardinal $\lambda > \kappa$, and $\kappa$ is a measurable cardinal. There we prove that the class of model of…

We prove that a universal class categorical in a high-enough cardinal is categorical on a tail of cardinals. As opposed to other results in the literature, we work in ZFC, do not require the categoricity cardinal to be a successor, do not…

This paper is the concise addition to the foregoing work "Inconsistency of Inaccessibility", containing the presentation of main theorem proof (in ZF) about inaccessible cardinals nonexistence. Here some refinement of this presentation is…

This paper contributes to the theory of large cardinals beyond the Kunen inconsistency, or choiceless large cardinal axioms, in the context where the Axiom of Choice is not assumed. The first part of the paper investigates a periodicity…

We investigate the possibilities of global versions of Chang's Conjecture that involve singular cardinals. We show some $\mathrm{ZFC}$ limitations on such principles, and prove relative to large cardinals that Chang's Conjecture can…

We investigate large set axioms defined in terms of elementary embeddings over constructive set theories, focusing on $\mathsf{IKP}$ and $\mathsf{CZF}$. Most previously studied large set axioms, notably the constructive analogues of large…

We will consider a number of new large-cardinal properties, the $\alpha$-tremendous cardinals for each limit ordinal $\alpha>0$, the hyper-tremendous cardinals, the $\alpha$-enormous cardinals for each limit ordinal $\alpha>0$, and the…

We deal with the complex issue of whether large cardinals are intrinsically justified principles of set theory (we call this the Intrinsicness Issue). In order to do this, we review, in a systematic fashion, (1.) the abstract principles…

We prove that any definable family of subsets of a definable infinite set $A$ in an o-minimal structure has cardinality at most $|A|$. We derive some consequences in terms of counting definable types and existence of definable topological…

We characterize the situation of having many normal measures on a measurable cardinal. We show the plausibility of having many normal measures on each compact cardinal.

We study the class of acts with embeddings as an abstract elementary class. We show that the class is always stable and show that superstability in the class is characterized algebraically via weakly noetherian monoids. The study of these…

We give a presentation theorem for continuous first-order logic and Metric Abstract Elementary classes in terms of $L_{\omega_1, \omega}$ and Abstract Elementary Classes, respectively. This presentation is accomplished by analyzing dense…

We prove that, under suitable assumptions on a category C, the existence of supercompact cardinals implies that every absolute epireflective class of objects of C is a small-orthogonality class. More precisely, if L is a localization…

From large cardinals we show the consistency of normal, fine, $\kappa$-complete $\lambda$-dense ideals on $\mathcal{P}_\kappa(\lambda)$ for successor $\kappa$. We explore the interplay between dense ideals, cardinal arithmetic, and squares,…

We prove that the Generalized Continuum Hypothesis holds above a supercompact cardinal assuming the Ultrapower Axiom, an abstract comparison principle motivated by inner model theory at the level of supercompact cardinals.

Suppose that there is a measurable cardinal. If \aleph_\omega is a strong limit cardinal, but the power of \aleph_\omega is bigger than \aleph_{\omega_1}, then there is an inner model with a Woodin cardinal. Modulo the need of the…
