We give two results on guessing unbounded subsets of lambda^+. The first is a positive result and applies to the situation of lambda regular and at least equal to aleph_3, while the second is a negative consistency result which applies to…
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…
In the first part of this paper, we explore the possibility for a very large cardinal $\kappa$ to carry a $\kappa$-complete ultrafilter without Galvin's property. In this context, we prove the consistency of every ground model…
1. For many regular cardinals lambda (in particular, for all successors of singular strong limit cardinals, and for all successors of singular omega-limits), for all n in {2,3,4, ...} : There is a linear order L such that L^n has no…
We introduce the forward limit set $\Lambda$ of a semigroup $S$ generated by a family of substitutions of a finite alphabet, which typically coincides with the set of all possible s-adic limits of that family. We provide several alternative…
It is proved that, on any Abelian group of infinite cardinality ${\bf m}$, there exist precisely $2^{2^{\bf m}}$ nonequivalent bounded Hausdorff group topologies. Under the continuum hypothesis, the number of nonequivalent compact and…
The celebrated Erd\H{o}s-Hajnal Conjecture says that in any proper hereditary class of finite graphs we are guaranteed to have a clique or anti-clique of size $n^c$, which is a much better bound than the logarithmic size that is provided by…
Let \lambda be a cardinal with \lambda=\lambda^{\aleph_0} and p be either 0 or a prime number. We show that there are fields K_0 and K_1 of cardinality \lambda and characteristic p such that the automorphism group of K_0 is a free group of…
Assume $\lambda$ is a singular limit of $\eta$ supercompact cardinals, where $\eta \leq \lambda$ is a limit ordinal. We present two forcing methods for making $\lambda^+$ the successor of the limit of the first $\eta$ measurable cardinals…
For any prime number p and any positive real number {\alpha}, we construct a finitely generated group {\Gamma} with p-gradient equal to {\alpha}. This construction is used to show that there exist uncountably many pairwise non-commensurable…
Motivated by different characterizations of planar graphs and the 4-Color Theorem, several structural results concerning graphs of high chromatic number have been obtained. Toward strengthening some of these results, we consider the…
We show a short proof of Higman's lemma using Friedman's adjacent Ramsey theorem for pairs. This provides an alternative proof of the known upper bound for the reverse mathematical status of Higman's lemma and that of its miniaturised…
An inaccessible cardinal kappa is supercompact when (kappa, lambda)-ITP holds for all lambda greater than or equal to kappa. We prove that if there is a model of ZFC with infinitely many supercompact cardinals, then there is a model of ZFC…
This paper deals with variety of problems in pcf theory and infinitary combinatorics. We look at normal filters and prc, measures of the size of [lambda]^{<kappa}, pcf-inaccessibility, entangled orders (and narrow Boolean Algebras),…
Let $\phi(k)$ be the minimum number of vertices in a non-$k$-choosable $k$-chromatic graph. The Ohba conjecture, confirmed by Noel, Reed and Wu, asserts that $\phi(k) \ge 2k+2$. This bound is tight if $k$ is even. If $k$ is odd, then it is…
For many years, there have been conducting research (e.g. by Bergelson, Furstenberg, Kojman, Kubi\'{s}, Shelah, Szeptycki, Weiss) into sequentially compact spaces that are, in a sense, topological counterparts of some combinatorial…
Our aim is to improve the negative results i.e. non-existence of limit models, and the failure of the generic pair property from math.LO/0609636 to inaccessible lambda as promised there. The motivation is that in [Sh:F756] the positive…
We show that any $2$-coloring of $\mathbb{N}$ contains infinitely many monochromatic sets of the form $\{x,y,xy,x+y\},$ and more generally monochromatic sets of the form $\{x_i,\prod x_i,\sum x_i: i\leq k\}$ for any $k\in\mathbb{N}.$ Along…
Assuming the existence of a strong cardinal $\kappa$ and a measurable cardinal above it, we force a generic extension in which $\kappa$ is a singular strong limit cardinal of any prescribed cofinality, and such that the tree property holds…
Let $G$ be an abelian group. The main theorem of this paper asserts that there exists a Cayley graph on $G$ with chromatic number $3$ if and only if $G$ is not of exponent $1$, $2$, or $4$. For connected Cayley graphs, we also show that…
