We study the vectorial stationary Schr{\"o}dinger equation -$\Delta$u + a U + b u = F, with a saturated nonlinearity U = u/|u| and with some complex coefficients (a, b) $\in$ C 2 . Besides the existence and uniqueness of solutions for the…

Let $\mathrm{cof}(\mu)=\mu$ and $\kappa$ be a supercompact cardinal with $\mu<\kappa$. Assume that there is an increasing and continuous sequence of cardinals $\langle\kappa_\xi\mid \xi<\mu\rangle$ with $\kappa_0:=\kappa$ and such that, for…

Let $\eta_{g}(n) $ be the smallest cardinality that $A\subseteq {\mathbb Z}$ can have if $A$ is a $g$-difference basis for $[n]$ (i.e, if, for each $x\in [n]$, there are {\em at least} $g$ solutions to $a_{1}-a_{2}=x$ ). We prove that the…

Modulo the existence of large cardinals, there is a model of set theory in which for some set $B$ of regular cardinals, the sequence $\langle \text{pcf}^\alpha(B): \alpha \in \text{Ord} \rangle$ is strictly increasing. The result answers a…

Let $\kappa$ be a regular limit cardinal, $\kappa \subseteq A$. We study a notion of $n$-s-stationarity on $\mathcal{P}_{\kappa}(A)$. We construct a sequence of topologies $\langle \tau_0, \tau_1, \dots \rangle $ on…

We study instabilities of the system composed of stationary scalar fields and asymptotically flat horizonless reflecting compact stars. In the probe limit, we obtain bounds on the scalar field frequency. Below this bound, stationary hairy…

In the first part of the manuscript, we establish several consistency results concerning Woodin's $\HOD$ hypothesis and large cardinals around the level of extendibility. First, we prove that the first extendible cardinal can be the first…

Assuming the existence of a monster model, tameness and continuity of nonsplitting in an abstract elementary class (AEC), we extend known superstability results: let $\mu>LS({\bf K})$ be a regular stability cardinal and let $\chi$ be the…

The main result of this paper is the proof of the simultaneous consistency, modulo a weakly compact cardinal, of the equality $2^{< \mathfrak{c}} = \mathfrak{c}$ with the following property (*) of partitions of pairs of $\mathfrak{c}$:…

Strong cosmic censorship conjecture is central to the deterministic nature of general relativity, since it asserts that given any generic initial data on a spacelike hypersurface, the future can be uniquely predicted. However, recently it…

We obtain results on the condensation principle called local club condensation. We prove that in extender models an equivalence between the failure of local club condensation and subcompact cardinals holds. This gives a characterization of…

Assuming an abstract comparison principle called the Ultrapower Axiom, which is motivated by the comparison process of inner model theory and generalizes the statement that the Mitchell order is linear on normal ultrafilters, we…

We prove that the consistency strength of Martin's Maximum restricted to partial orders of cardinality $\omega_1$ follows from the consistency of ZFC.

We introduce a stronger version of an $\omega_1$-guessing model, which we call an indestructibly $\omega_1$-guessing model. The principle IGMP states that there are stationarily many indestructibly $\omega_1$-guessing models. This…

We prove that the Generalized Continuum Hypothesis holds above a supercompact cardinal assuming the Ultrapower Axiom, an abstract comparison principle motivated by inner model theory at the level of supercompact cardinals.

We prove that there is a certain degree of independence between stationary reflection phenomena at different cofinalities; e.g. it is consistent that every stationary subset of S_1^3 reflects at a point of cofinality aleph_2 while every…

We show that Shelah cardinals are preserved under the canonical $GCH$ forcing notion. We also show that if $GCH$ holds and $F:REG\rightarrow CARD$ is an Easton function which satisfies some weak properties, then there exists a cofinality…

Let $M$ denote the Merimovich's model in which for each infinite cardinal $\lambda, 2^\lambda=\lambda^{+3}$. We show that in $M$ the following hold: (1) Shelah's strong hypothesis fails at all singular cardinals, indeed, $\forall \lambda…

An $\omega_1$-compact space is a space in which every closed discrete subspace is countable. We give various general conditions under which a locally compact, $\omega_1$-compact space is $\sigma$-countably compact, i.e., the union of…

Under spherical symmetry, we show that the weak cosmic censorship holds for the gravitational collapse of the Einstein-Maxwell-charged scalar field system. Namely, for this system, with generic initial data, the formed spacetime…
