Using techniques developed in the revision theory of truth, I build a model for the set theory NF (New Foundations) developed by Quine in ZF, therefore proving its consistency relative to ZF. The model is essentially a term model; the sets…

Let I be a sigma-ideal sigma-generated by a projective collection of closed sets. The forcing with I-positive Borel sets is proper and adds a single real r of an almost minimal degree: if s is a real in V[r] then s is Cohen generic over V…

In this paper we formalize some foundation concepts and theorems of group theory in a variant of type theory called the Calculus of Constructions with Definitions. In this theory we introduce definition of a group, which is both general and…

We present a formalisation of finite Markov decision processes with rewards in the Isabelle theorem prover. We focus on the foundations required for dynamic programming and the use of reinforcement learning agents over such processes. In…

Although some work has been done on the metamathematics of Metamath, there has not been a clear definition of a model for a Metamath formal system. We define the collection of models of an arbitrary Metamath formal system, both for…

Recently, in Axioms 10(2): 119 (2021), a nonclassical first-order theory T of sets and functions has been introduced as the collection of axioms we have to accept if we want a foundational theory for (all of) mathematics that is not weaker…

Let $X$ be a variety over a complete nontrivially valued field $K$. We construct an algebraizable formal model for the analytification of $X$ in the case $X$ admits a closed embedding into a toric variety. By algebraizable we mean that the…

Finite Automata (FAs) are fundamental components in the domains of programming languages. For instance, regular expressions, which are pivotal in languages such as JavaScript and Python, are frequently implemented using FAs. Finite…

Assuming that ORD is $\omega +\omega $-Erd\"os we show that if a class forcing amenable to $L$ (an $L$-forcing) has a generic then it has one definable in a set-generic extension of $L[O^\#]$. In fact we may choose such a generic to be {\it…

We investigate systems of transitive models of ZFC which are elementarily embeddable into each other and the influence of definability properties on such systems.

Countable tightness may be destroyed by countably closed forcing. We characterize the indestructibility of countable tightness under countably closed forcing by combinatorial statements similar to the ones Tall used to characterize…

It is well known that pretameness implies the forcing theorem, and that pretameness is characterized by the preservation of the axioms of $\mathsf{ZF}^-$, that is $\mathsf{ZF}$ without the power set axiom, or equivalently, by the…

This is an expository paper about several sophisticated forcing techniques closely related to standard finite support iterations of ccc partial orders. We focus on the four topics of ultrapowers of forcing notions, iterations along…

Ramsey theory and forcing have a symbiotic relationship. At the RIMS Symposium on Infinite Combinatorics and Forcing Theory in 2016, the author gave three tutorials on Ramsey theory in forcing. The first two tutorials concentrated on…

We develop a forcing poset with finite conditions which adds a partial square sequence on a given stationary set, with adequate sets of models as side conditions. We then develop a kind of side condition product forcing for simultaneously…

In this paper we study set mappings on 4-tuples. We continue a previous work of Komjath and Shelah by getting new finite bounds on the size of free sets in a generic extension. This is obtained by an entirely different forcing construction.…

We present reasons for developing a theory of forcing notions which satisfy the properness demand for countable models which are not necessarily elementary submodels of some (H(chi), in). This leads to forcing notions which are…
