In this article we proved so-called strong reflection principles corresponding to formal theories Th which has omega-models. An posible generalization of the Lob's theorem is considered.Main results is: (1) let $k$ be an inaccessible…
Starting with two supercompact cardinals we produce a generic extension of the universe in which a principle that we call ${\rm GM}^+(\omega_3,\omega_1)$ holds. This principle implies ${\rm ISP}(\omega_2)$ and ${\rm ISP}(\omega_3)$, and…
Keisler proved that if $\theta$ is a strong limit cardinal and $\lambda$ is a singular cardinal, then the transfer relation $\theta\longrightarrow\lambda$ holds. In a previous paper, we studied initial elementary submodels of the…
We introduce (super-$C^{(\infty)}$-)Laver-generic large cardinal axioms for extendibility ((super-$C^{(\infty)}$-)LgLCAs for extendible, for short), and show that most of the previously known consequences of the…
Strong reflection principles with the reflection cardinal $\leq\aleph_1$ or $<2^{\aleph_0}$ imply that the size of the continuum is either $\aleph_1$ or $\aleph_2$ or very large. Thus, the stipulation, that a strong reflection principle…
We extend a transitive model V of ZFC + GCH cardinal preservingly to a model N of ZF + "GCH holds below Alef_omega" + "there is a surjection from the power set of Alef_omega onto lambda" where lambda is an arbitrarily high fixed cardinal in…
Assuming the existence of a Mahlo cardinal, we construct a model in which there exists an $\omega_2$-Aronszajn tree, the $\omega_1$-approachability property fails, and every stationary subset of $\omega_2 \cap \mathrm{cof}(\omega)$…
Characteristic earlier results were of the form CON$(2^{\aleph_0} \to [\lambda]^2_{n, 2})$, with $2^{\aleph_0} $ an ex-large cardinal, in the best case the first weakly Mahlo cardinal. Characteristic new results are CON$((2^{\aleph_0} =…
Justin Moore's weak club-guessing principle $\mho$ admits various possible generalizations to the second uncountable cardinal. One of them was shown to hold in ZFC by Shelah. A stronger one was shown to follow from several consequences of…
We answer a question of Usuba by showing that the combinatorial principle $UB_\lambda$ can fail at a singular cardinal. Furthermore, $\lambda$ can be taken to be $\aleph_\omega.$
The foundational impossibility results of distributed computing -- the Fischer-Lynch-Paterson theorem, the Two Generals Problem, the CAP theorem -- are widely understood as discoveries about the physical limits of coordination. This paper…
In [FHK13], the authors considered the question whether model-existence of $L_{\omega_1,\omega}$-sentences is absolute for transitive models of ZFC, in the sense that if $V \subseteq W$ are transitive models of ZFC with the same ordinals,…
Rathjen proved that Aczel's constructive set theory $\mathbf{CZF}$ extended with inaccessible sets of all transfinite orders can be interpreted in Martin-L\"{o}f type theory $\mathbf{MLTT}$ extended with Setzer's Mahlo universe and another…
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 analyze the notion of guessing model, a way to assign combinatorial properties to arbitrary regular cardinals. Guessing models can be used, in combination with inaccessibility, to characterize various large cardinals axioms, ranging from…
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…
In this paper, we study the notion of a generically extendible cardinal, which is a generic version of an extendible cardinal. We prove that the generic extendibility of $\omega_1$ or $\omega_2$ has small consistency strength, but that of a…
We sow that there exists a generic extension of the G\"{o}del's constructible universe in which diamond holds and there exists a subset $Y \subseteq \omega_1$ such that for stationary many $\delta < \omega_1,$ the set $Y \cap \delta$ is not…
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 $\lambda^{++}$…
In this article, we prove several transfer principles for the cohomological dimension of fields. Given a fixed field $K$ with finite cohomological dimension $\delta$, the two main ones allow to: - construct totally ramified extensions of…
