We answer a question of Woodin by showing that assuming an inaccessible cardinal $\kappa$ which is a limit of ${<}\kappa$-supercompact cardinals exists, there is a stationary set preserving forcing $\mathbb{P}$ so that $V^{\mathbb…

Kunen's proof of the non-existence of Reinhardt cardinals opened up the research on very large cardinals, i.e., hypotheses at the limit of inconsistency. One of these large cardinals, I0, proved to have descriptive-set-theoretical…

We describe a framework for proving consistency results about singular cardinals of arbitrary cofinality and their successors. This framework allows the construction of models in which the Singular Cardinals Hypothesis fails at a singular…

Generalizing some earlier techniques due to the second author, we show that Menas' theorem which states that the least cardinal kappa which is a measurable limit of supercompact or strongly compact cardinals is strongly compact but not…

Consider $(\kappa^{+++},\kappa^{++}) \twoheadrightarrow (\kappa^+,\kappa)$ where $\kappa$ is an uncountable regular cardinal. By a result of Shelah's we have $\operatorname{cof}(X \cap \kappa^{++}) = \kappa$ for almost all $X \subset…

This paper focuses on using the first curvature $\kappa(t)$ of trajectory to describe the stability of linear time-invariant system. We extend the results for two and three-dimensional systems [Y. Wang, H. Sun, Y. Song et al.,…

Motivated by results of Juh\'asz and van Mill in [13], we define the cardinal invariant $wt(X)$, the weak tightness of a topological space $X$, and show that $|X|\leq 2^{L(X)wt(X)\psi(X)}$ for any Hausdorff space $X$ (Theorem 2.8). As…

Let $Q$ denote the space of signed measures on the Borel $\sigma$-algebra of a separable complete space $X$. We endow $Q$ with the norm $\|q\|=\sup|\int\phi dq|$, where the supremum is taken over all Lipschitz with constant 1 functions…

Hellsten \cite{MR2026390} proved that when $\kappa$ is $\Pi^1_n$-indescribable, the \emph{$n$-club} subsets of $\kappa$ provide a filter base for the $\Pi^1_n$-indescribability ideal, and hence can also be used to give a characterization of…

We prove that it is relatively consistent with $\mathrm{ZFC}$ that every strong measure zero subset of the real line is meager-additive while there are uncountable strong measure zero sets (i.e., Borel's conjecture fails). This answers a…

We give a combinatorial characterization of when a maximal almost disjoint family of a weakly compact cardinal $\kappa$ is indestructible by the higher random forcing $\mathbb Q_\kappa$. We then use this characterisation to show that…

We obtain sharp estimate on $p$-spectral gaps, or equivalently optimal constant in $p$-Poincar\'e inequalities, for metric measure spaces satisfying measure contraction property. We also prove the rigidity for the sharp $p$-spectral gap.

We investigate regularity properties derived from tree-like forcing notions in the setting of "generalized descriptive set theory", i.e., descriptive set theory on $\kappa^\kappa$ and $2^\kappa$, for regular uncountable cardinals $\kappa$.

For a regular uncountable cardinal kappa, we discuss the order relationship between the unbounding and dominating numbers on kappa and cardinal invariants of the higher meager ideal M_kappa. In particular, we obtain a complete…

For any cardinal $\kappa \geq 2$, there is a unique complete real tree whose points all have valence $\kappa$. In this note, we show that, when $\kappa \geq 3$, it is necessary to assume completeness. More precisely, we show that there…

We prove that any suitable generalization of Laver forcing to the space $ \kappa^\kappa$, for uncountable regular $\kappa$, necessarily adds a Cohen $\kappa$-real. We also study a dichotomy and an ideal naturally related to generalized…

A strong mode of a probability measure on a normed space $X$ can be defined as a point $u$ such that the mass of the ball centred at $u$ uniformly dominates the mass of all other balls in the small-radius limit. Helin and Burger weakened…

We say that a metric space $(X,d)$ possesses the \emph{Banach Fixed Point Property (BFPP)} if every contraction $f:X\to X$ has a fixed point. The Banach Fixed Point Theorem says that every complete metric space has the BFPP. However, E.…

The main result of this paper is to show that, if $\kappa$ is the smallest real-valued measurable cardinal not greater than $ 2^{\aleph_0}$, then there exists a complete metric space of cardinality not greater than $ 2^{\kappa}$ admitting a…

A sequence $\{f_n\}$ of strongly-measurable functions taking values in a Banach space $\X$ is scalarly null a\.e\. (resp. scalarly null in measure) if $x^*f_n \rightarrow0$ a\.e\. (resp. $x^*f_n \rightarrow 0$ in measure) for every $x^*\in…
