A variety of classes of naturally arising ultrafilters on omega is discussed, and the question is raised whether it is consistent that the classes are empty. Since all the classes contain the P-point ultrafilters, a negative answer would…
We prove an extension theorem for ultraholomorphic classes defined by so-called Braun-Meise-Taylor weight functions and transfer the proofs from the single weight sequence case from V. Thilliez [28] to the weight function setting. We are…
Let C denote any of the following cardinal characteristics of Boolean algebras: incomparability, spread, character, pi-character, hereditary Lindelof number, hereditary density. It is shown to be consistent that there exists a sequence…
We present a detailed general framework to describe the forcing $\tilde{\mathbb{E}}$, defined by Kellner, Shelah and Tan\u{a}sie to prove the consistency with ZFC of an alternative order of Cicho\'n's maximum. Our presentation is close to…
We introduce the notion of a coherent $P$-ultrafilter on a complete ccc Boolean algebra, strenghtening the notion of a $P$-point on $\omega$, and show that these ultrafilters exist generically under ${\mathfrak c} = {\mathfrak d}$. This…
Following Baumgartner [J. Symb. Log. 60 (1995), no. 2], for an ideal $\mathcal{I}$ on $\omega$, we say that an ultrafilter $\mathcal{U}$ on $\omega$ is an $\mathcal{I}$-ultrafilter if for every function $f:\omega\to\omega$ there is $A\in…
We show that after forcing with a countable support iteration or a finite product of Sacks or splitting forcing over $L$, every analytic hypergraph on a Polish space admits a $\mathbf{\Delta}^1_2$ maximal independent set. As a main…
It is shown that the boldface maximality principle for subcomplete forcing, together with the assumption that the universe has only set-many grounds, implies the existence of a (parameter-free) definable well-ordering of…
Given a Woodin cardinal $\delta$, I show that if $F$ is any Easton function with $F"\delta\subseteq\delta$ and $\GCH$ holds, then there is a cofinality-preserving forcing extension in which $2^\gamma= F(\gamma)$ for each regular cardinal…
Suppose $\kappa$ is a singular strong limit cardinal of countable cofinality and let $\langle \kappa_{n}: n<\omega \rangle$ be an incrasing sequence of regular cardinals cofinal in $\kappa$. We show that if $cf(2^\kappa)= \kappa^+$, then…
The purpose of this paper is to present a general method for forcing on $\omega_2$ and $\omega_3$ with finite conditions, while preserving all cardinals and some fragments of $\mathrm{GCH}$. This method is based on the technique of forcing…
We show that if the existence of a supercompact cardinal $\kappa$ with a weakly compact cardinal $\lambda$ above $\kappa$ is consistent, then the following are consistent as well (where $\mathfrak{t}(\kappa)$ and $\mathfrak{u}(\kappa)$ are…
We consider a certain class of infinitary rules of inference, called here restriction rules, using of which allows us to deduce complete theories of given models. The first instance of such rules was the $\omega$-rule introduced by Hilbert,…
In this paper, we explore various ways in which a factor $\sigma$-algebra $\mathscr{B}$ can sit in a dynamical system $\mathbf{X} :=(X, \mathscr{A}, \mu, T)$, i.e. we study some possible structures of the extension $\mathscr{A} \rightarrow…
Recently, there emerges different versions of beta function and hypergeometric functions containing extra parameters. Gaining enlightenment from these ideas, we will first introduce a new extension of generalized hypergeometric function and…
A general method for constructing a new class of topological Ramsey spaces is presented. Members of such spaces are infinite sequences of products of Fra\"iss\'e classes of finite relational structures satisfying the Ramsey property. The…
Hindman's celebrated Finite Sums Theorem, and its high-dimensional version due to Milliken and Taylor, are extended from covers of countable sets to covers of arbitrary topological spaces with Menger's classic covering property. The methods…
The closure $\mathcal{M}_{m}^{\#}$ and the extension $\widehat{\mathcal{M}}_{m}$ of the Maiorana--McFarland class $\mathcal{M}_{m}$ in $m = 2n$ variables relative to the extended-affine equivalence and the bent function construction $f…
We present a direct construction of stationary set preserving forcings that make $\omega$-cofinal all the members of some arbitrary set $\mathcal{K}$ of regular cardinals $\kappa > \omega_1$. In addition, it is made possible to ensure that…
Let $\omega$ be a continuous weight on $\mathbb R^+$ and let $L^1(\omega)$ be the corresponding convolution algebra. By results of Gr{\o}nb{\ae}k and Bade & Dales the continuous derivations from $L^1(\omega)$ to its dual space…
