We prove two $\mathrm{ZFC}$ inequalities between cardinal invariants. The first inequality involves cardinal invariants associated with an analytic P-ideal, in particular the ideal of subsets of $\omega$ of asymptotic density $0$. We obtain…

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…

This paper provides some counterexamples to Cantor's contributions to the foundations of Set Theory. The first counterexample forces Cantor's Diagonal Method (DM) to yield one of the numbers in the target list. To study this anomaly, and…

In [5], Hjorth proved that for every countable ordinal $\alpha$, there exists a complete $\mathcal{L}_{\omega_1,\omega}$-sentence $\phi_\alpha$ that has models of all cardinalities less than or equal to $\aleph_\alpha$, but no models of…

We consider the following problem for various infinite time machines. If a real is computable relative to large set of oracles such as a set of full measure or just of positive measure, a comeager set, or a nonmeager Borel set, is it…

We prove the arithmetic fundamental lemma conjecture over a general $p$-adic field with odd residue cardinality $q\geq \dim V$. Our strategy is similar to the one used by the second author during his proof of the AFL over $\mathbb{Q}_p$…

We show that all sufficiently nice $\lambda$-sets are countable dense homogeneous ($\mathsf{CDH}$). From this fact we conclude that for every uncountable cardinal $\kappa \le \mathfrak{b}$ there is a countable dense homogeneous metric space…

In the absence of the axiom of choice, the set-theoretic status of many natural statements about metrizable compact spaces is investigated. Some of the statements are provable in $\mathbf{ZF}$, some are shown to be independent of…

We show that the decidability of the first-order theory of the language that combines Boolean algebras of sets of uninterpreted elements with Presburger arithmetic operations. We thereby disprove a recent conjecture that this theory is…

We produce, relative to a ${\sf ZFC}$ model with a supercompact cardinal, a ${\sf ZFC}$ model of the Proper Forcing Axiom in which the nonstationary ideal on $\omega_1$ is $\Pi_1$-definable in a parameter from $H_{\aleph_2}$.

This article explores the model-dependent nature of set cardinality, emphasizing that cardinality is not absolute but varies across different axiomatic frameworks. Although Cantor's diagonal argument shows the real numbers are…

Given a Banach space we consider the $\sigma$-ideal of all of its subsets which are covered by countably many hyperplanes and investigate its standard cardinal characteristics as the additivity, the covering number, the uniformity, the…

Using Koszmider's strongly unbounded functions, we show the following consistency result: Suppose that $\kappa,\lambda$ are infinite cardinals such that $\kappa^{+++} \leq \lambda$, $\kappa^{<\kappa}=\kappa$ and $2^{\kappa}= \kappa^+$, and…

For a cardinal lambda<lambda_{omega_1} we give a ccc forcing notion P which forces that for some Borel subset B of the Cantor space (1) there a sequence (eta_alpha:alpha<lambda) of distinct elements such that |(eta_alpha+B) cap…

We develop a toolbox for forcing over arbitrary models of set theory without the axiom of choice. In particular, we introduce a variant of the countable chain condition and prove an iteration theorem that applies to many classical forcings…
