We derive a forcing axiom from the conjunction of square and diamond, and present a few applications, primary among them being the existence of super-Souslin trees. It follows that for every uncountable cardinal $\lambda$, if $\lambda^{++}$…
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…
We introduce an abstract framework for forcing over a free Suslin tree with suborders of products of forcings which add some structure to the tree using countable approximations. The main ideas of this framework are consistency, separation,…
We analyze the forcing notion $\mathcal P$ of finite matrices whose rows consists of isomorphic countable elementary submodels of a given structure of the form $H_{\theta}$. We show that forcing with this poset adds a Kurepa tree $T$.…
We develop a toolbox for forcing over arbitrary models of set theory without the axiom of choice. In particular, we introduce a variant of the countable chain condition and prove an iteration theorem that applies to many classical forcings…
We present reasons for developing a theory of forcing notions which satisfy the properness demand for countable models which are not necessarily elementary submodels of some (H(chi), in). This leads to forcing notions which are…
It is consistent that there exists a Souslin tree $T$ such that after forcing with it, $T$ becomes an almost Souslin Kurepa tree. This answers a question of Zakrzewski.
Generalizing the proof for Sacks forcing, we show that the $h$-perfect tree forcing notions introduced by Goldstern, Judah and Shelah preserve selective independent families even when iterated. As a result we obtain new proofs of the…
We show that for a Suslin ccc forcing notion $\mathbb Q$ adding a Hechler real, ``$\text{ZF}+\text{DC}_{\omega_1}+$all sets of reals are $I_{\mathbb Q,\aleph_0}$-measurable'' implies the existence of an inner model with a measurable…
We introduce the notion of effective Axiom A and use it to show that some popular tree forcings are Suslin+. We introduce transitive nep and present a simplified version of Shelah's "preserving a little implies preserving much": If I is a…
We develop the theory of the forcing with trees and creatures for an inaccessible lambda continuing Ros{\l}anowski and Shelah math.LO/9807172, math.LO/9909115. To make a real use of these forcing notions (that is to iterate them without…
A forest is a generalization of a tree, and here we consider the Aronszajn and Suslin properties for forests. We focus on those forests satisfying coherence, a local smallness property. We show that coherent Aronszajn forests can be…
We introduce a method of constructing a forcing along a simplified $(\kappa,1)$-morass such that the forcing satisfies the $\kappa$-chain condition. Alternatively, this may be seen as a method to thin out a larger forcing to get a chain…
We prove various iteration theorems for forcing classes related to subproper and subcomplete forcing, introduced by Jensen. In the first part, we use revised countable support iterations, and show that 1) the class of subproper,…
We present S. Todorcevic's method of forcing with a coherent Souslin tree over restricted iteration axioms as a black box usable by those who wish to avoid its complexities but still access its power.
A central theme in set theory is to find universes with extreme, well-understood behaviour. The case we are interested in is assuming GCH and has a strong forcing axiom of higher order than usual. Instead of "for every suitable forcing…
The feeling that those two forcing notions-Cohen and Random-(equivalently the corresponding Boolean algebras Borel(R)/(meager sets), Borel(R)/(null sets)) are special, was probably old and widespread. A reasonable interpretation is to show…
We show that it is possible to add $\kappa^+-$Cohen subsets to $\kappa$ with a Prikry forcing over $\kappa$. This answers a question from \cite{HayutBenhanouGitik}. A strengthening of non-Galvin property is introduced. It is shown to be…
We show that many countable support iterations of proper forcings preserve Souslin trees. We establish sufficient conditions in terms of games and we draw connections to other preservation properties. We present a proof of preservation…
The purpose of this article is to prove that the forcing axiom for completely proper forcings is inconsistent with the Continuum Hypothesis. This answers a longstanding problem of Shelah. The corresponding completely proper forcing which…
