The Steprans forcing notion arises as a quotient of Borel sets modulo the ideal of $\sigma$-continuity of a certain Borel not $\sigma$-continuous function. We give a characterization of this forcing in the language of trees and using this…
We present a systematic study of the method of "norms on possibilities" of building forcing notions with keeping their properties under full control. This technique allows us to answer several open problems, but on our way to get the…
We prove that various classical tree forcings -- for instance Sacks forcing, Mathias forcing, Laver forcing, Miller forcing and Silver forcing -- preserve the statement that every real has a sharp and hence analytic determinacy. We then…
In previous papers on this project a general static logical framework for formalizing and mechanizing set theories of different strength was suggested, and the power of some predicatively acceptable theories in that framework was explored.…
The tree forcing method given by (Liu 2015) enables the cone avoiding of strong enumeration of a given tree, within a subset or co-subset of an arbitrary given set, provided the given tree does not admit computable strong enumeration. Using…
We show that the existence of a Suslin tree does not necessarily imply that there are uncountable minimal linear orders other than $\omega_1$ and $-\omega_1$, answering a question of J. Baumgartner. This is done by a Jensen-type iteration,…
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…
I prove forcing preservation theorems for products of definable partial orders preserving the cofinality of the meager or null ideal. Rectangular Ramsey theorems for related ideals follow from the proofs.
This paper, dating from May 1991, contains preliminary (and unpublishable) notes on investigations about iteration trees. They will be of interest only to the specialist. In the first two sections I define notions of support and embeddings…
We establish natural criteria under which normally iterable premice are iterable for stacks of normal trees. Let $\Omega$ be a regular uncountable cardinal. Let $m<\omega$ and $M$ be an $m$-sound premouse and $\Sigma$ be an…
Termination property of functions is an important issue in computability theory. In this paper, we show that repeated iterations of a function can induce an order amongst the elements of its domain set. Hasse diagram of the poset, thus…
In Part I of this series, we introduced a class of notions of forcing which we call Sigma-Prikry, and showed that many of the known Prikry-type notions of forcing that center around singular cardinals of countable cofinality are…
We prove some iteration theorems for a certain class of $\kappa^+$-cc forcing posets.
Vladimir Kanovei \cite{zbMATH01335192} developed the technique of geometric iteration and used it to prove that the perfect set forcing can be iterated with countable supports along any partial order, while preserving $\aleph_1$. In…
We give an exposition of an iteration theorem for iterating $(<\lambda)$-closed stationary $\lambda^+$-cc forcing with supports of size $<\lambda$ and preserving these two properties. We discuss the relation of this theorem with other…
We develop a general theory for class-sized symmetric systems as a natural extension of symmetric systems with respect to class forcing. In particular, adapting the usual notions of pretameness and tameness for class forcing, we present…
Assume $\kappa = \kappa^{< \kappa}$ (usually $\aleph_0$ or an inaccessible). We shall deal with iterated forcings preserving ${}^{\kappa>}{\rm Ord}$ and not collapsing cardinals along a linear order $L$. A sufficient condition for this,…
Turing's famous 'machine' framework provides an intuitively clear conception of 'computing with real numbers'. A recursive counterexample to a theorem shows that the theorem does not hold when restricted to computable objects. These…
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…
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…
