If T is an iteration tree on K and F is a countably certified extender that coheres with the final model of T, then F is on the extender sequence of the final model of T. Several applications of maximality are proved, including: o K…

Extending the definition of $V$-stability conditions, given by Viviani in a recent preprint, we introduce the notion of universal stability conditions. Building on results by Pagani and Tommasi, we show that fine compactified universal…

In the context of large cardinals, the classical diamond principle Diamond_kappa is easily strengthened in natural ways. When kappa is a measurable cardinal, for example, one might ask that a Diamond_kappa sequence anticipate every subset…

We show that under the assumption of the existence of the canonical inner model with one Woodin cardinal $M_1$, there is a model of $\ZFC$ in which $\NS$ is $\aleph_2$-saturated and $\Delta_1$-definable with $\omega_1$ as a parameter which…

We extend to singular cardinals the model-theoretical relation $\lambda \stackrel{\kappa}{\Rightarrow} \mu$ introduced in P. Lipparini, The compactness spectrum of abstract logics, large cardinals and combinatorial principles, Boll. Unione…

In this paper we discuss large cardinals and compactness theorems in abelian group theory. More specifically, we generalize two classical compactness results for free abelian groups to the broader context of direct sums of cyclic groups.

We present a forcing for blowing up 2^lambda and making ``many positive polarized partition relations'' (in a sense made precise in (c) of our main theorem) hold in the interval [lambda, 2^lambda]. This generalizes results of [276], Section…

We study $\Sigma_1(\omega_1)$-definable sets (i.e. sets that are equal to the collection of all sets satisfying a certain $\Sigma_1$-formula with parameter $\omega_1$) in the presence of large cardinals. Our results show that the existence…

The primary goal of this paper is to establish a model of $ZFC$ wherein the definable tree property is affirmed for all uncountable regular cardinals. This endeavor commences with the utilization of both a supercompact cardinal and a…

We construct a canonical extension for strong proximity lattices in order to give an algebraic, point-free description of a finitary duality for stably compact spaces. In this setting not only morphisms, but also objects may have distinct…

In this paper, we establish strong backward uniqueness for solutions to sublinear parabolic equations of the type (1.1). The proof of our main result Theorem 1.1 is achieved by means of a new Carleman estimate and a Weiss type monotonicity…

A compact closed bicategory is a symmetric monoidal bicategory where every object is equipped with a weak dual. The unit and counit satisfy the usual "zig-zag" identities of a compact closed category only up to natural isomorphism, and the…

We show that some of the most prominent large cardinal notions can be characterized through the validity of certain combinatorial principles at $\omega_2$ in forcing extensions by the pure side condition forcing introduced by Neeman. The…

We introduce a new covering property, defined in terms of order types of sequences of open sets, rather than in terms of cardinalities of families. The most general form of this compactness notion depends on two ordinal parameters. In the…

We give Woodin's original proof that if there exists a $(\kappa+2)-$strong cardinal $\kappa,$ then there is a generic extension of the universe in which $\kappa=\aleph_\omega,$ $GCH$ holds below $\aleph_\omega$ and…

We prove that Galvin's property consistently fails at successors of strong limit singular cardinals. We also prove the consistency of this property failing at every successor of a singular cardinal. In addition, the paper analyzes the…

The Axiom of Full Reflection at a measurable cardinal has been conjectured to be equiconsitent with the existence of a coherent sequence of measures with a repeat point. However we prove that the Axiom of Full Reflection at a measurable…

We prove that if there is an elementary embedding from the universe to itself, then there is a proper class of measurable successor cardinals.

Groupoid cardinality is an invariant of locally finite groupoids which has many of the properties of the cardinality of finite sets, but which takes values in all non-negative real numbers, and accounts for the morphisms of a groupoid.…

We prove two general results about the preservation of extendible and $C^{(n)}$-extendible cardinals under a wide class of forcing iterations (Theorems 5.4 and 7.5). As applications we give new proofs of the preservation of Vop\v{e}nka's…
