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…

We introduce and investigate a class of non-separable tree-like Banach spaces. As a consequence, we prove that we can not achieve a satisfactory extension of Rosenthal's $\ell_1$-theorem to spaces of the type $\ell_1(\kappa)$, for $\kappa$…

We study presence of an additional symmetry of a generic central potential in the $\kappa$-space-time. An explicit construction of Fradkin and Bacry, Ruegg, Souriau (FBRS) for a central potential is carried out and the piece-wise conserved…

The aim of this paper is to extend Cohen structure theorem beyond local rings. Both Cohen structure theorem and Nagata's generalization of it are special cases of our results. We investigate for which rings $R$ there exists a maximal ideal…

I prove several theorems concerning upward closure and amalgamation in the generic multiverse of a countable transitive model of set theory. Every such model $W$ has forcing extensions $W[c]$ and $W[d]$ by adding a Cohen real, which cannot…

With the help of various square principles, we obtain results concerning the consistency strength of several statements about trees containing ascent paths, special trees, and strong chain conditions. Building on a result that shows that…

We discuss a conjecture of Wilson that under the proper forcing axiom, $\Theta_0$ of the derived model at $\kappa$ is below $\kappa^+$. We prove the conjecture holds for the old derived model. Assuming mouse capturing in the new derived…

We prove that for every Aronzsajn line A and every Countryman line C, there is a proper forcing extension in which A contains an isomorphic copy of either C or its converse C*. As a corollary, we obtain answers to several related questions…

The open graph dichotomy for a subset $X$ of the Baire space ${}^\omega\omega$ states that any open graph on $X$ either admits a coloring in countably many colors or contains a perfect complete subgraph. This strong version of the open…

Given an uncountable regular cardinal $\kappa$, a partial order is $\kappa$-stationarily layered if the collection of regular suborders of $\mathbb{P}$ of cardinality less than $\kappa$ is stationary in $\mathcal{P}_\kappa(\mathbb{P})$. We…

Let $f:X\to Y$ be a fibration from a smooth projective 3-fold to a smooth projective curve, over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p >5$. We prove that if the generic fiber $X_{\eta}$ has big canonical divisor…

Let $\kappa$ be a regular cardinal. Consider the Baire numbers of the spaces $(2^{\theta})_\kappa$ (functions from $\theta$ to 2 and the less than $\kappa$ topology) for various $\theta \geq \kappa$. Let l be the number of such different…

We show that if we add any number of Cohen reals to the ground model then, in the generic extension, a locally compact scattered space has at most (2^{aleph_0})^V many levels of size omega. We also give a complete ZFC characterization of…

In this paper for each cardinal $\kappa$ we construct an infinite $\kappa$-bounded (and hence countably compact) regular space $R_{\kappa}$ such that for any $T_1$ space $Y$ of pseudo-character $\leq\kappa$, each continuous function…

We study a two-parameter generalization of the Freese-Nation Property of boolean algebras and its order-theoretic and topological consequences. For every regular infinite \kappa, the (\kappa,\kappa)-FN, the (\kappa^+,\kappa)-FN, and the…

We continue the study from \cite{BrendleFreidmanMontoya, vandervlugtlocalizationcardinals} of localization cardinals $\mfb_\kappa(\in^*)$ and $\mfd_\kappa(\in^*)$ and their variants at regular uncountable $\kappa$. We prove that if $\kappa$…

In real Hilbert spaces, this paper generalizes the orthogonal groups $\mathrm{O}(n)$ in two ways. One way is by finite multiplications of a family of operators from reflections which results in a group denoted as $\Theta(\kappa)$, the other…

For a regular uncountable cardinal kappa, we discuss the order relationship between the unbounding and dominating numbers on kappa and cardinal invariants of the higher meager ideal M_kappa. In particular, we obtain a complete…

In the Zermelo--Fraenkel set theory with the Axiom of Choice a forcing notion is "$\kappa$-distributive" if and only if it is "$\kappa$-sequential". We show that without the Axiom of Choice this equivalence fails, even if we include a weak…

We solve a well--known problem in the theory of compact scattered spaces and superatomic boolean algebras by showing that, under GCH and for each regular cardinal $\kappa \geq \omega$, there is a poset $\mathcal P_\kappa$ preserving all…
