We show that it is relatively consistent with ZFC that 2^omega is arbitrarily large and every sequence s=(s_i:i<omega_2) of infinite cardinals with s_i<=2^omega is the cardinal sequence of some locally compact scattered space.

A stationary subset S of a regular uncountable cardinal kappa reflects fully at regular cardinals if for every stationary set T subseteq kappa of higher order consisting of regular cardinals there exists an alpha in T such that S cap alpha…

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,…

Modulo the existence of large cardinals, there is a model of set theory in which for some set $B$ of regular cardinals, the sequence $\langle \text{pcf}^\alpha(B): \alpha \in \text{Ord} \rangle$ is strictly increasing. The result answers a…

We show that the forcing axiom for countably compact, $\omega_2$-Knaster, well-met posets is inconsistent. This is supplemental to an inconsistency result of Shelah and sets a new limit to the generalization of Martin's Axiom to the stage…

We show that it is relatively consistent with ZF that the Borel hierarchy on the reals has length $\omega_2$. This implies that $\omega_1$ has countable cofinality, so the axiom of choice fails very badly in our model. A similar argument…

Assuming that there is a stationary set in $\omega_{2}$ of ordinals of countable cofinality that does not reflect, we prove that there exists a compact space which is not Corson compact and whose all continuous images of weight at most…

In [Sh893], Shelah proves that (on a stationary set of cardinals) an AEC has not too many models or every model has extensions of arbitrary cardinality. We show that, if we assume limited amalgamation, then the second condition holds for a…

We show that Shelah's Eventual Categoricity Conjecture follows from the existence of class many strongly compact cardinals. This is the first time the consistency of this conjecture has been proven. We do so by showing that every AEC with…

Let $Z_2$, $Z_3$, and $Z_4$ denote $2^{\rm nd}$, $3^{\rm rd}$, and $4^{\rm th}$ order arithmetic, respectively. We let Harrington's Principle, {\sf HP}, denote the statement that there is a real $x$ such that every $x$--admissible ordinal…

Jing Zhang proved the consistency of $\binom{\omega_2}{\omega_1}\rightarrow\binom{n}{\omega_1}_\omega$ for every $n\in\omega$ with the negative relation $\binom{\omega_2}{\omega_1}\nrightarrow\binom{\omega}{\omega_1}_\omega$. We reduce the…

Square-kappa-finite, the finite family version of weak square, holds at all cardinals kappa in the Mitchell-Steel inner models.

We prove the consistency of: for suitable strongly inaccessible cardinal lambda the dominating number, i.e. the cofinality of lambda^lambda is strictly bigger than cov(meagre_lambda), i.e. the minimal number of nowhere dense subsets of…

We introduce a stronger version of an $\omega_1$-guessing model, which we call an indestructibly $\omega_1$-guessing model. The principle IGMP states that there are stationarily many indestructibly $\omega_1$-guessing models. This…

We show that for many pairs of infinite cardinals $\kappa > \mu^+ > \mu$, $(\kappa^{+}, \kappa)\twoheadrightarrow (\mu^+, \mu)$ is consistent relative to the consistency of a supercompact cardinal. We also show that it is consistent,…

We prove the consistency of $\binom{\mu^+}{\mu}\nrightarrow\binom{\mu^+ \omega_1}{\mu\ \mu}$ where $\mu$ is a strong limit singular cardinal of countable cofinality. This result can be forced at limit of measurable cardinals and at small…

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…

We show that if $\mathfrak{c} = \aleph_2$ then all covering numbers of Hausdorff measures $\operatorname{cov}(\mathcal{N}^s(\mathbb{R}^d))$ ($0 < s < d, d \in \omega$) are equal and all uniformity numbers…

Shelah has shown that there are no chains of length $\omega_3$ increasing modulo finite in ${}^{\omega_2}\omega_2$. We improve this result to sets. That is, we show that there are no chains of length $\omega_3$ in $[\omega_2]^{\aleph_2}$…

We prove that, e.g., if mu >cf(mu)= aleph_0 and mu>2^{aleph_0} and every stationary family of countable subsets of mu^+ reflect in some subset of mu^+ of cardinality aleph_1, then the SCH for mu^+ (moreover, for mu^+, any scale for mu^+ has…
