Given a local $\otimes$-triangulated category, and a fiber sequence $y\to 1 \to x$, one may ask if there is always a nonzero object $z$ such that either $z\otimes f$ or $z\otimes g$ is $\otimes$-nilpotent. The claim that this property holds…

In this paper we review Shelah's strong covering property and its applications. We also extend some of the results of Shelah and Woodin on the failure of $CH$ by adding a real.

We briefly summarize motivations for testing the weak equivalence principle and then review recent torsion-balance results that compare the differential accelerations of beryllium-aluminum and beryllium-titanium test body pairs with…

We investigate a combinatorial game on $\omega_1$ and show that mild large cardinal assumptions imply that every normal ideal on $\omega_1$ satisfies a weak version of precipitousness. As an application, we show that that the…

An $\aleph_1$-Souslin tree is a complicated combinatorial object whose existence cannot be decided on the grounds of ZFC alone. But 15 years after Tennenbaum and independently Jech devised notions of forcing for introducing such a tree,…

Towards combining "compactness" and "hugeness" properties at $\omega_2$, we investigate the relevance of side-conditions forcing. We reduce the upper bound on the consistency strength of the weak Chang's Conjecture at $\omega_2$ using…

We formulate a weak Gorenstein property for the Eisenstein component of the p-adic Hecke algebra associated to modular forms. We show that this weak Gorenstein property holds if and only if a weak form of Sharifi's conjecture and a weak…

Hamkins and L\"{o}we asked whether there can be a model $N$ of set theory with the property that $N\equiv N[g]$ whenever $g$ is a generic collapse of a cardinal of $N$ onto $\omega$. We give equiconsistency results for two weaker versions…

Let $\alpha$ be an endomorphism of a ring $R$. We introduce the notion of weak $\alpha$-skew McCoy rings which are a generalization of the $\alpha$-skew McCoy rings and the weak McCo rings. Some properties of this generalization are…

We extend the Kechris--Pestov--Todor\v{c}evi\'c correspondence to weak Fra\"{\i}ss\'{e} categories and automorphism groups of generic objects. The new ingredient is the weak Ramsey property. We demonstrate the theory on several examples…

We strengthen the revised GCH theorem by showing, e.g., that for lambda=cf(lambda)>beth_omega, for all but finitely many regular kappa<beth_omega, lambda is accessible on cofinality kappa in a weak version of it holds. In particular,…

Assume sigma is a face of a Gorenstein* simplicial complex D. We investigate the question of whether the Weak Lefschetz Property of the Stanley-Reisner ring k[D] (over an infinite field k) is equivalent to the same property of the…

A weak basis of a module is a generating set of the module minimal with respect to inclusion. A module is said to be regularly weakly based provided that each of its generating sets contain a weak basis. In the paper we study (1) rings over…

We introduce the notions of $\varepsilon$-approximate fixed point and weak $\varepsilon$-approximate fixed point. We show that for a group of unitary matrices even the existence of a nontrivial weak $\varepsilon$-approximate fixed point for…

We show that higher Sacks forcing at a regular limit cardinal and club Miller forcing at an uncountable regular cardinal both add a diamond sequence. We answer the longstanding question, whether $\kappa = \kappa^{<\kappa} \geq\aleph_1$…

We investigate the problem of when $\leq\lambda$--support iterations of $<\lambda$--complete notions of forcing preserve $\lambda^+$. We isolate a property -- {\em properness over diamonds} -- that implies $\lambda^+$ is preserved and show…

This paper presents the main results in my Ph.D. thesis. In what follows several proofs of SCH are presented introducing a family of covering properties which implies both SCH and the failure of various forms of square. These covering…

We show that Feynman's proof applies to Newtonian gravitation, implying thus the existence of gravitational analogous of the electric and magnetic fields and the corresponding Lorentz-like force. Consistency of the formalism require…

We show that adding a random real number destroys a large fragment of Martin's axiom, namely Martin's axiom for partial orders that have precalibre-$\aleph_1$, thus answering an old question of J. Roitman [9]. We also answer a question of…

We show that if $cf(2^{\aleph_0})=\aleph_1,$ then any non-trivial $\aleph_1$-closed forcing notion of size $\leq 2^{\aleph_0}$ is forcing equivalent to $Add(\aleph_1, 1),$ the Cohen forcing for adding a new Cohen subset of $\omega_1.$ We…
