We study when a union of saturated models is saturated in the framework of tame abstract elementary classes (AECs) with amalgamation. We prove: $\mathbf{Theorem}$ If $K$ is a tame AEC with amalgamation satisfying a natural definition of…
In a 2005 paper, Casacuberta, Scevenels and Smith construct a homotopy idempotent functor $E$ on the category of simplicial sets with the property that whether it can be expressed as localization with respect to a map $f$ is independent of…
Large cardinals arising from the existence of arbitrarily long end elementary extension chains over models of set theory are studied here. In particular, we show that the large cardinals obtained that way (`Unfoldable cardinals') behave as…
We strengthen the property $\Delta$ of a function $f:[\omega_2]^2\rightarrow [\omega_2]^{\leq \omega}$ considered by Baumgartner and Shelah. This allows us to consider new types of amalgamations in the forcing used by Rabus, Juh\'asz and…
We show that assuming modest large cardinals, there is a definable class of ordinals, closed and unbounded beneath every uncountable cardinal, so that for any closed and unbounded subclasses $P, Q$, $\langle L[P],\in ,P \rangle$ and…
Starting from a supercompact cardinal we build a model in which $2^{\aleph_{\omega_1}}=2^{\aleph_{\omega_1+1}}=\aleph_{\omega_1+3}$ but there is a jointly universal family of size $\aleph_{\omega_1+2}$ of graphs on $\aleph_{\omega_1+1}$.…
Let $E, F\subset \R^d$ be two self-similar sets. Under mild conditions, we show that $F$ can be $C^1$-embedded into $E$ if and only if it can be affinely embedded into $E$; furthermore if $F$ can not be affinely embedded into $E$, then the…
We introduce a family of rank functions and related notions of total transcendence for Galois types in abstract elementary classes. We focus, in particular, on abstract elementary classes satisfying the condition know as tameness (currently…
Let $\kappa$ be any regular cardinal. Assuming the existence of a huge cardinal above $\kappa$, we prove the consistency of $\binom{\kappa^{++}}{\kappa^+}\rightarrow\binom{\tau}{\kappa^+}$ for every ordinal $\tau<\kappa^{++}$. Likewise, we…
Let (X,d) be a metric space and (\Omega, d) a compact subspace of X which supports a non-atomic finite measure m. We consider `natural' classes of badly approximable subsets of \Omega. Loosely speaking, these consist of points in \Omega…
We investigate, in ZFC, the behavior of abstract elementary classes (AECs) categorical in many successive small cardinals. We prove for example that a universal $\mathbb{L}_{\omega_1, \omega}$ sentence categorical on an end segment of…
In the early 1970's S.Tennenbaum proved that all countable models of PA^- + forall_1-Th(N) are embeddable into the reduced product N^omega/F, where F is the cofinite filter. In this paper we show that if M is a model of PA^- +…
It is a well known open problem if, in ZFC, each compact space with a small diagonal is metrizable. We explore properties of compact spaces with a small diagonal using elementary chains of submodels. We prove that ccc subspaces of such…
We take a unifying and new approach toward polynomial and trigonometric approximation in an arbitrary number of variables, resulting in a precise and general ready-to-use tool that anyone can easily apply in new situations of interest. The…
It is shown that every concretizable category can be fully embedded into the category of accessible set functors and natural transformations.
The class of Hausdorff spaces that are continuous images of compact orderable spaces is studied by analyzing the relationship between the elements of this class and compact orderable spaces in a back-and-forth fashion. Structure results for…
Tame abstract elementary classes are a broad nonelementary framework for model theory that encompasses several examples of interest. In recent years, progress toward developing a classification theory for them have been made. Abstract…
Let K be an abstract elementary classes which has arbitrarily large models and satisfies the amalgamation and joint embedding properties. Theorem 1. Suppose K is \chi-tame. If K is categorical in some \lambda^+ >LS(K) then it is categorical…
We show that many large cardinal notions can be characterized in terms of the existence of certain elementary embeddings between transitive set-sized structures, that map their critical point to the large cardinal in question. In…
Haver's near-selection theorem deals with approximate selections of Hausdorff continuous CE-valued mappings defined on $\sigma$-compact metrizable $C$-spaces. In the present paper, we extend this theorem to all paracompact $C$-spaces. The…
