We investigate the provability of classical combinatorial theorems in ZF. Using combinatorial arguments, we establish the following results for each infinite cardinal ${\kappa}\in On$, (1) ${\kappa}^+\to ({\kappa},{\omega}+1)$, (2) any…

We consider weakenings of normality in $\Psi$-spaces and prove that the existence of a MAD family whose $\Psi$-space is almost-normal is independent of \textsf{ZFC}. We also construct a partly-normal not quasi-normal AD family, answering…

We give a combinatorial characterization of countable submaximal subspaces of $2^\kappa$. Using a parametrized version of Mathias forcing, we prove that there exists a countable submaximal subspace of $2^{\omega_1}$ whilst…

We use a natural forcing to construct a left-separated topology on an arbitrary cardinal kappa. The resulting left-separated space X_kappa is also 0-dimensional T_2, hereditarily Lindelof, and countably tight. Moreover if kappa is regular…

Let $G$, $H$ be groups and $\kappa$ be a cardinal. A bijection $f:G\to H$ is caled on asymorphism if, for any $X\in[G]^{<\kappa}$, $Y\in[H]^{<\kappa}$, there exist $X'\in[G]^{<\kappa}$, $Y'\in[H]^{<\kappa}$ such that for all $x\in G$ and…

Let S denote the family of all subspaces of the plane that are graphs of functions from the real line R to itself. We prove that S has two subfamilies G,H of spaces such that the cardinality of G is c (the cardinality of the continuum) and…

Let lambda be aleph_0 or a strong limit of cofinality aleph_0. Suppose that (G_m,p_{m,n}:m =< n<omega) and (H_m,p^t_{m,n}: m=< n < omega) are projective systems of groups of cardinality less than lambda and suppose that for every n<omega…

We show relative to strong hypotheses that patterns of compact cardinals in the universe, where a compact cardinal is one which is either strongly compact or supercompact, can be virtually arbitrary. Specifically, we prove if V is a model…

We show that if $\kappa < \aleph_\omega$ Cohen reals are added to a model of $\mathsf{CH}$, then there are nontrivial automorphisms of $\mathcal P(\omega)/\mathrm{Fin}$ in the extension. Under some further hypotheses on the ground model,…

We consider special subclasses of the class of Lindel\"of Sigma-spaces obtained by imposing restrictions on the weight of the elements of compact covers that admit countable networks: A space $X$ is in the class $L\Sigma(\leq\kappa)$ if it…

We prove in ZFC, no psi in L_{omega_1,omega}[Q] have unique model of uncountable cardinality, this confirms theBaldwin conjecture. But we analyze this in more general terms. We introduce and investigate a.e.c. and also versions of limit…

Extending a result of the first author and Katsura, we prove that for every UHF algebra $A$ of infinite type, in every uncountable cardinality $\kappa$ there are $2^\kappa$ nonisomorphic approximately matricial C*-algebras with the same…

Let B(kappa, lambda) be the subalgebra of P(kappa) generated by [kappa]^{<= lambda}. It is shown that if B is any homomorphic image of B(kappa, lambda) then either |B|< 2^lambda or |B|=|B|^lambda, moreover if X is the Stone space of B then…

Let $\kappa$ be a regular cardinal. Consider the Baire numbers of the spaces $(2^{\theta})_\kappa$ (functions from $\theta$ to 2 and the less than $\kappa$ topology) for various $\theta \geq \kappa$. Let l be the number of such different…

We consider, for infinite cardinals kappa and alpha <= kappa^+, the group Pi(kappa,< alpha) of sequences of integers, of length kappa, with non-zero entries in fewer than alpha positions. Our main result tells when Pi(kappa,< alpha) can be…

The following pcf results are proved: 1. Assume that kappa > aleph_0 is a weakly compact cardinal. Let mu > 2^kappa be a singular cardinal of cofinality kappa. Then for every regular lambda < pp^+_{Gamma(kappa)} (mu) there is an increasing…

In S. 1 we deal with amalgamation bases, e.g., we define when an a.e.c. $k$ has $(\lambda,\kappa)$-amalgamation which means "many" M in $K^k_\lambda$ are amalgamation bases. We then consider what happens for the class of lf groups. In S. 2…

Let $\kappa$ be an infinite cardinal. A topological space $X$ is $\kappa$-bounded if the closure of any subset of cardinality $\le\kappa$ in $X$ is compact. We discuss the problem of embeddability of topological spaces into Hausdorff…

Assume ZFC. Let $\kappa$ be a cardinal. A ${<\kappa}$-ground is a transitive proper class $W$ modelling ZFC and such that $V$ is a generic extension of $W$ via a forcing $\mathbb{P}\in W$ of cardinality ${<\kappa}$. The $\kappa$-mantle is…

We study the question of when an uncountable ccc topological space $X$ contains a ccc subspace of size $\aleph_1$. We show that it does if $X$ is compact Hausdorff and more generally if $X$ is Hausdorff with $\mathrm{pct}(X) \leq \aleph_1$.…
