The two parallel concepts of "small" sets of the real line are meagre sets and null sets. Those are equivalent to Cohen forcing and Random real forcing for $\aleph^{\aleph_0}_0$; in spite of this similarity, the Cohen forcing and Random…

We introduce the idea of a weakly entangled linear order, and show that it is consistent for a Suslin line to be weakly entangled. We generalize the notion of entangled linear orders to $\omega_1$-trees, and prove that an $\omega_1$-tree is…

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…

Assuming Jensen's principle diamond-plus we construct Souslin algebras all of whose maximal chains are pairwise isomorphic as total orders, thereby answering questions of Koppelberg and Todorcevic

I introduce a new family of axioms extending ZFC set theory, the $\Sigma_n$-correct forcing axioms. These assert roughly that whenever a forcing name $\dot{a}$ can be forced by a poset in some forcing class $\Gamma$ to have some $\Sigma_n$…

This paper finally fully elaborates the tree pulldown method used by one of us (Harrington) to settle McLaughlin's conjecture. This method enables the construction of a computable tree $T_0$ whose paths are incomparable over $0^{(\alpha)}$…

A tree ${\mathbb T} =\langle T\leq \rangle$ is reversible iff there is no order $\preccurlyeq \;\varsubsetneq \;\leq $ such that ${\mathbb T} \cong \langle T ,\preccurlyeq\rangle$. Using a characterization of reversibility via back and…

We propose developing the theory of consequences of morasses relevant in mathematical applications in the language alternative to the usual one, replacing commonly used structures by families of sets originating with Velleman's neat…

A classical theorem of Hechler asserts that the structure $\left(\omega^\omega,\le^*\right)$ is universal in the sense that for any $\sigma$-directed poset P with no maximal element, there is a ccc forcing extension in which…

We show that certain type of tree forcings, including Sacks forcing, increases the covering of the strong measure zero ideal $\mathcal{SN}$. As a consequence, in Sacks model, such covering number is equal to the size of the continuum, which…

We produce a model where every supercompact cardinal is $C^{(1)}$-supercompact with inaccessible targets. This is a significant improvement of the main identity-crises configuration obtained in \cite{HMP} and provides a definitive answer to…

For uncountable downwards closed subtrees $U$ and $W$ of an $\omega_1$-tree $T$, we say that $U$ and $W$ are strongly almost disjoint if their intersection is a finite union of countable chains. The tree $T$ is strongly non-saturated if…

We show that Shelah cardinals are preserved under the canonical $GCH$ forcing notion. We also show that if $GCH$ holds and $F:REG\rightarrow CARD$ is an Easton function which satisfies some weak properties, then there exists a cofinality…

We extend A. Miller's framework of $\alpha$-forcing to the case of a regular uncountable cardinal $\kappa = \kappa^{<\kappa}$ and apply it to study the structure of the $\kappa$-Borel hierarchy on subspaces of the generalized Baire space…

It is known that one can construct non-parametric functions by assuming classical axioms. Our work is a converse to that: we prove classical axioms in dependent type theory assuming specific instances of non-parametricity. We also address…

While maximal independent families can be constructed from ZFC via Zorn's lemma, the presence of a maximal $\sigma$-independent family already gives an inner model with a measurable cardinal, and Kunen has shown that from a measurable…

Exacting and ultraexacting cardinals are large cardinal numbers compatible with the Zermelo-Fraenkel axioms of set theory, including the Axiom of Choice. In contrast with standard large cardinal notions, their existence implies that the…

Let $M$ denote the Merimovich's model in which for each infinite cardinal $\lambda, 2^\lambda=\lambda^{+3}$. We show that in $M$ the following hold: (1) Shelah's strong hypothesis fails at all singular cardinals, indeed, $\forall \lambda…

Given a positive integer $n$, an $n$-ladder is a lower finite lattice whose elements have at most $n$ lower covers. In 1984, Ditor proved that every $n$-ladder has cardinality at most $\aleph_{n-1}$ and asked whether this bound is sharp,…

We introduce the split principles and show that they bear tight connections to large cardinal properties such as inaccessibility, weak compactness, subtlety, almost ineffability and ineffability, as well as classical combinatorial objects…
