In [8] the second and third authors showed that if the least inaccessible cardinal is the least measurable cardinal, then there is an inner model with $o(\kappa)\geq2$. In this paper we improve this to $o(\kappa)\geq\kappa+1$ and show that…
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…
Let $\kappa$ be an uncountable cardinal with $\kappa=\kappa^{{<}\kappa}$. Given a cardinal $\mu$, we equip the set ${}^\kappa\mu$ consisting of all functions from $\kappa$ to $\mu$ with the topology whose basic open sets consist of all…
We prove two ZFC theorems about cardinal invariants above the continuum which are in sharp contrast to well-known facts about these same invariants at the continuum. It is shown that for an uncountable regular cardinal $\kappa$,…
Assume $\kappa = \kappa^{< \kappa}$ (usually $\aleph_0$ or an inaccessible). We shall deal with iterated forcings preserving ${}^{\kappa>}{\rm Ord}$ and not collapsing cardinals along a linear order $L$. A sufficient condition for this,…
If $S,T$ are stationary subsets of a regular uncountable cardinal $\kappa$, we say that $S$ reflects fully in $T$, $S<T$, if for almost all $\alpha \in T$ (except a nonstationary set) $S \cap \alpha$ is stationary in $\alpha .$ This…
Given a regular cardinal $\kappa$ such that $\kappa^{<\kappa}=\kappa$, we study a class of toposes with enough points, the $\kappa$-separable toposes. These are equivalent to sheaf toposes over a site with $\kappa$-small limits that has at…
We show that it is consistent that the continuum is as large as you wish, and for each uncountable cardinal $\kappa$ below the continuum, there are a subset $T$ of the reals and a family $A$ of countable subsets of $T$ such that (1) both…
We will consider a number of new large-cardinal properties, the $\alpha$-tremendous cardinals for each limit ordinal $\alpha>0$, the hyper-tremendous cardinals, the $\alpha$-enormous cardinals for each limit ordinal $\alpha>0$, and the…
We study the existence of transformations of the transfinite plane that allow one to reduce Ramsey-theoretic statements concerning uncountable Abelian groups into classical partition relations for uncountable cardinals. To exemplify: we…
In [10], Halmos proved an interesting result that the set of irreducible operators is dense in $\mathcal B(\mathcal H)$ in the sense of Hilbert-Schmidt approximation. In a von Neumann algebra $\mathcal M$ with separable predual, an operator…
We prove that some natural "outside" property is equivalent (for a first order class) to being stable. For a model, being resplendent is a strengthening of being kappa-saturated. Restricting ourselves to the case kappa > |T| for…
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…
Given a weakly compact cardinal $\kappa$, we give an axiomatization of intuitionistic first-order logic over $\mathcal{L}_{\kappa^+, \kappa}$ and prove it is sound and complete with respect to Kripke models. As a consequence we get the…
We give another proof that for every lambda >= beth_omega for every large enough regular kappa < beth_omega we have lambda^{[kappa]}= lambda, dealing with sufficient conditions for replacing beth_omega by aleph_omega. In section 2 we show…
We show that many large cardinal notions can be characterized in terms of the existence of certain elementary embeddings between transitive set-sized structures, that map their critical point to the large cardinal in question. In…
We show that the existence of a well-known type of ideals on a regular cardinal $\lambda$ implies a compactness property concerning the specialisability of a tree of height $\lambda$ with no cofinal branches. We also use Neeman's method of…
The Fon-Der-Flaass action partitions the order ideals of a poset into disjoint orbits. For a product of two chains, Propp and Roby observed --- across orbits --- the mean cardinality of the order ideals within an orbit to be invariant. That…
We show a new proof for the fact that when $\kappa$ and $\lambda$ are infinite cardinals satisfying $\lambda ^ \kappa = \lambda$, the cofinality of the set of all functions from $\lambda$ to $\kappa$ ordered by everywhere domination is…
Let M denote the ideal of first category subsets of R. We prove that min{card X: X \subseteq R, X \not\in M} is the smallest cardinality of a family S \subseteq {0,1}^\omega with the property that for each f: \omega -> \bigcup_{n \in…
