For a topological space $X$ its reflection in a class $\mathsf T$ of topological spaces is a pair $(\mathsf T X,i_X)$ consisting of a space $\mathsf T X\in\mathsf T$ and continuous map $i_X:X\to \mathsf T X$ such that for any continuous map…
We show that Weak Vop\v{e}nka's Principle, which is the statement that the opposite category of ordinals cannot be fully embedded into the category of graphs, is equivalent to the large cardinal principle Ord is Woodin, which says that for…
We show that one can force over $L$ that $\Sigma^1_3$-separation holds, while $\Pi^1_3$-reduction fails, thus separating these two principles for the first time. The construction can be lifted to canonical inner models $M_n$ with $n$-many…
If kappa is any strongly unfoldable cardinal, then this is preserved in a forcing extension in which Diamond_kappa(REG) fails. This result continues the progression of the corresponding results for weakly compact cardinals, due to Woodin,…
We show that when certain statements are provable in subsystems of constructive analysis using intuitionistic predicate calculus, related sequential statements are provable in weak classical subsystems. In particular, if a $\Pi^1_2$…
Continuing [Fuchino, Ottenbreit and Sakai[9, 10]] and [Fuchino and Ottenbreit[11]], we further study reflection principles in connection with the L\"owenheim-Skolem Theorems of stationary logics. In this paper, we mainly analyze the…
We consider fragments of uniform reflection for formulas in the analytic hierarchy over theories of second order arithmetic. The main result is that for any second order arithmetic theory $T_0$ extending ${\sf RCA}_0$ and axiomatizable by a…
Assume $\kappa = \kappa^{< \kappa}$ (usually $\aleph_0$ or an inaccessible). We shall deal with iterated forcings preserving ${}^{\kappa>}{\rm Ord}$ and not collapsing cardinals along a linear order $L$. A sufficient condition for this,…
Cummings, Foreman, and Magidor proved that Jensen's square principle is non-compact at $\aleph_\omega$, meaning that it is consistent that $\square_{\aleph_n}$ holds for all $n<\omega$ while $\square_{\aleph_\omega}$ fails. We investigate…
In this paper we prove that from large cardinals it is consistent that there is a singular strong limit cardinal $\nu$ such that the singular cardinal hypothesis fails at $\nu$ and every collection of fewer than $\mathrm{cf}(\nu)$…
We prove two ZFC theorems about cardinal invariants above the continuum which are in sharp contrast to well-known facts about these same invariants at the continuum. It is shown that for an uncountable regular cardinal $\kappa$,…
We point out some connections between existence of homogenous sets for certain edge colorings and existence of branches in certain trees. As a consequence, we get that any locally additive coloring (a notion introduced in the paper) of a…
L. Soukup formulated an abstract framework in his introductory paper for proving theorems about uncountable graphs by subdividing them by an increasing continuous chain of elementary submodels. The applicability of this method relies on the…
From a suitable large cardinal hypothesis, we provide a model with a supercompact cardinal in which universal indestructibility holds: every supercompact and partially supercompact cardinal kappa is fully indestructible by kappa-directed…
We provide a model where u(\kappa) < 2^{\kappa} for a supercompact cardinal \kappa. Garti and Shelah have provided a sketch of how to obtain such a model by modifying the construction in a paper of Dzamonja and Shelah; we provide here a…
In this note we study several topics related to the schema of local reflection $\mathsf{Rfn}(T)$ and its partial and relativized variants. Firstly, we introduce the principle of uniform reflection with $\Sigma_n$-definable parameters,…
We study higher analogues of the classical independence number on $\omega$. For $\kappa$ regular uncountable, we denote by $i(\kappa)$ the minimal size of a maximal $\kappa$-independent family. We establish ZFC relations between $i(\kappa)$…
We consider the mirrors model in $d$ dimensions on an infinite slab and with unit density. This is a deterministic dynamics in a random environment. We argue that the crossing probability of the slab goes like $\kappa/(\kappa+N)$ where $N$…
Small forcing always ruins the indestructibility of an indestructible supercompact cardinal. In fact, after small forcing, any cardinal $\kappa$ becomes superdestructible---any further ${<}\kappa$-closed forcing which adds a subset to…
We define forcing orders which add witnesses to the failure of various forms of Friedman's Property. These posets behave similarly to the forcing order adding a nonreflecting stationary set but have the advantage of allowing the…
