We give a new proof of a theorem of Shelah which states that for every family of labeled trees, if the cardinality $\kappa$ of the family is much larger (in the sense of large cardinals) than the cardinality $\lambda$ of the set of labels,…
Define (*) There exists $(\phi_n:\omega_1\to \omega_1:n<\omega)$ such that for every uncountable $I$ which is a subset of $\omega_1$ there exists $n$ such that $\phi_n$ maps $I$ onto $\omega_1$. This is roughly what Sierpinski in his book…
For a cardinal kappa and a model M of cardinality kappa let No(M) denote the number of non-isomorphic models of cardinality kappa which are L_{infty,kappa}--equivalent to M. In [Sh:133] Shelah established that when kappa is a weakly compact…
We investigate, in ZFC, the behavior of abstract elementary classes (AECs) categorical in many successive small cardinals. We prove for example that a universal $\mathbb{L}_{\omega_1, \omega}$ sentence categorical on an end segment of…
For any cardinal number $\kappa$ and an index set $\Gamma$, $\Sigma_\kappa$-product of real lines consists of elements of ${\mathbb R}^\Gamma$ having $<\kappa$ nonzero coordinates. A compact space $K$ is $\kappa$-Corson compact if it can be…
In this work we have considered the complexity of the different structures as topological group on Z. We collect some new results, as well as some known results on the group of the integers in order to present: -A family of $2^\cont$…
In 1990, Comfort asked: is there, for every cardinal number $\alpha \leq 2^{\mathfrak{c}}$, a topological group $G$ such that $G^\gamma$ is countably compact for all cardinals $\gamma<\alpha$, but $G^\alpha$ is not countably compact? A…
We prove that consistently every bipartite graph of size $\kappa^+\times\kappa^+$ contains either a clique or an independent subset of size $\tau\times\tau$ for every $\tau\in\kappa^+$, where $\kappa$ is a successor cardinal.
The main result of this paper is to show that for any compact space $X$ and any family $\{f_\alpha \colon \alpha< 2^\kappa, f_\alpha \colon X \stackrel{onto}{\longrightarrow} \beta \kappa\}$ of open mappings there exists a point $x \in X$…
We prove two theorems that confirm an observation of Lubin concerning families of $p$-adic power series that commute under composition: under certain conditions, there is a formal group such that the power series in the family are either…
In this paper we introduce and study three new cardinal topological invariants called the cs*, cs-, and sb-characters. The class of topological spaces with countable cs*-character is closed under many topological operations and contains all…
We investigate in ZFC what can be the family of large enough cardinals mu in which an a.e.c. K is categorical or even just solvable. We show that for not few cardinals lambda<mu there is a superlimit model in K_lambda. Moreover, our main…
Generalizing the notion of a tight almost disjoint family, we introduce the notions of a {\em tight eventually different} family of functions in Baire space and a {\em tight eventually different set of permutations} of $\omega$. Such sets…
Assuming the existence of a proper class of supercompact cardinals, we force that for every regular cardinal $\kappa$, there are $\kappa^+$-Aronszajn trees and all such trees are special.
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.
Given an uncountable regular cardinal $\kappa$, a partial order is $\kappa$-stationarily layered if the collection of regular suborders of $\mathbb{P}$ of cardinality less than $\kappa$ is stationary in $\mathcal{P}_\kappa(\mathbb{P})$. We…
We study Poisson symmetric spaces of group type with Cartan subalgebra "adapted" to the Lie cobracket.
Starting from a supercompact cardinal we build a model in which $2^{\aleph_{\omega_1}}=2^{\aleph_{\omega_1+1}}=\aleph_{\omega_1+3}$ but there is a jointly universal family of size $\aleph_{\omega_1+2}$ of graphs on $\aleph_{\omega_1+1}$.…
The main result of this paper is that, under PFA, for every {\em regular} space $X$ with $F(X) = \omega$ we have $|X| \le w(X)^\omega$; in particular, $w(X) \le \mathfrak{c}$ implies $|X| \le \mathfrak{c}$. This complements numerous prior…
We lower substantially the strength of the assumptions needed for the validity of certain results in category theory and homotopy theory which were known to follow from Vopenka's principle. We prove that the necessary large-cardinal…
