We study paracontact metric $(\kappa,\mu)$-spaces with $\kappa=-1$, equivalent to $h^2=0$ but not $h=0$. In particular, we will give an alternative proof of Theorem 3.2 of [11] and present examples of paracontact metric $(-1,2)$-spaces and…

Let $\mathcal{SN}$ be the $\sigma$-ideal of the strong measure zero sets of reals. We present general properties of forcing notions that allow to control of the additivity of $\mathcal{SN}$ after finite support iterations. This is applied…

We introduce reflection properties of cardinals in which the attributes that reflect are expressible by infinitary formulas whose lengths can be strictly larger than the cardinal under consideration. This kind of generalized reflection…

The concept of zero forcing is extended from graphs to uniform hypergraphs in analogy with the way zero forcing was defined as an upper bound for the maximum nullity of the family of symmetric matrices whose nonzero pattern of entries is…

This paper defines a Mitchell rank for supercompact cardinals. If $\kappa$ is a $\theta$-supercompact cardinal then $o_{\theta-sc}(\kappa) = \sup \{ o_{\theta-sc}(\mu) + 1 \ | \ \mu \in m(\kappa)\}$, where $m(\kappa)$ is the collection of…

Several variants of the Halpern-L\"auchli Theorem for trees of uncountable height are investigated. For $\kappa$ weakly compact, we prove that the various statements are all equivalent. We show that the strong tree version holds for one…

There are several examples in the literature showing that compactness-like properties of a cardinal $\kappa$ cause poor behavior of some generic ultrapowers which have critical point $\kappa$ (Burke \cite{MR1472122} when $\kappa$ is a…

We study the nonstationary-support iteration of Prikry forcings below a measurable cardinal \kappa, characterizing all the normal measures it carries in the generic extension. We then analyze the restriction of ultrapower embeddings, taken…

The notion of tree entropy was introduced by the author as a normalized limit of the number of spanning trees in finite graphs, but is defined on random infinite rooted graphs. We give some new expressions for tree entropy; one uses…

Given a countable transitive model of set theory and a partial order contained in it, there is a natural countable Borel equivalence relation on generic filters over the model; two are equivalent if they yield the same generic extension. We…

We use generalizations of concepts from descriptive set theory to study combinatorial objects of uncountable regular cardinality, focussing on higher Kurepa trees and the representation of the sets of cofinal branches through such trees as…

We introduce and define the phenomenological parameter $\kappa$, defined by $\Delta a/g = \kappa \, \Delta(q/m)$, to quantify potential linear coupling between electric charge and gravitational acceleration. A synthesis of existing…

Generalizing the proof for Sacks forcing, we show that the $h$-perfect tree forcing notions introduced by Goldstern, Judah and Shelah preserve selective independent families even when iterated. As a result we obtain new proofs of the…

Using a theorem from pcf theory, we show that for any singular cardinal nu, the product of the Cohen forcing notions on kappa, kappa < nu adds a generic for the Cohen forcing notion on nu^+. This solves Problem 5.1 in Miller's list…

We obtain a small ultrafilter number at $\aleph_{\omega_1}$. Moreover, we develop a version of the overlapping strong extender forcing with collapses which can keep the top cardinal $\kappa$ inaccessible. We apply this forcing to construct…

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 define a weak iterability notion that is sufficient for a number of arguments concerning $\Sigma_1$-definability at uncountable regular cardinals. In particular we give its exact consistency strength firstly in terms of the second…

We introduce a method of constructing a forcing along a simplified $(\kappa,1)$-morass such that the forcing satisfies the $\kappa$-chain condition. Alternatively, this may be seen as a method to thin out a larger forcing to get a chain…

This paper makes significant progress towards resolving a conjecture relating strong forcing axioms like $PFA$ and the derived model at a limit of Woodin cardinals $\kappa$. In particular, using a concept called Covering Matrices, we show…

We provide analogues of the results from [FMR11, CMMR13] in the reference list (which correspond to the case $\kappa = \omega$) for arbitrary $\kappa$-Souslin quasi-orders on any Polish space, for $\kappa$ an infinite cardinal smaller than…
