The following pcf results are proved: 1. Assume that kappa > aleph_0 is a weakly compact cardinal. Let mu > 2^kappa be a singular cardinal of cofinality kappa. Then for every regular lambda < pp^+_{Gamma(kappa)} (mu) there is an increasing…
If cf(kappa) = kappa, kappa^+< cf(lambda) = \lambda, then there is a stationary subset S of {delta<lambda:cf(delta)=kappa} in I[lambda]. Moreover, we can find <C_delta :delta in S>, C_delta a club of lambda, otp(C_delta)=kappa, guessing…
Usuba has asked whether the $\kappa$-mantle, the intersection of all grounds that extend to $V$ via a forcing of size ${<}\kappa$, is always a model of ZFC. We give a negative answers by constructing counterexamples where $\kappa$ is a…
We discuss ways of adjoining perfect sets of mutually generic random reals. In particular, we show that if V \sub W are models of ZFC and W contains a dominating real over V, then W[r], where r is random over W, contains a perfect tree of…
We introduce a new notion of commutator which depends on a choice of subvariety in any variety of omega-groups. We prove that this notion encompasses Higgins's commutator, Froehlich's central extensions and the Peiffer commutator of…
The exact solution of the spin-1/2 Falicov-Kimball model on an infinite-coordination Bethe lattice is analyzed in the regime of ``classical'' intermediate valence. We find (i) either phase separation or a direct metal-insulator transition…
We define a Galois structure on the category of pairs of equivalence relations in an exact Mal'tsev category, and characterize central and double central extensions in terms of higher commutator conditions. These results generalize both the…
We show using a proof of the Global Square property in Core Models below a measurable of Mitchell order o(kappa)=kappa^++ (a result originally due to Jensen & Zeman) that Foreman and Magidor's Mutual Stationarity property MS(Aleph_n…
We introduce a model-theoretic characterization of Magidor cardinals, from which we infer that Magidor filters are beyond ZFC-inconsistency
In earlier work, the author classified rigid representations of a quiver by finitely generated free modules over a principal ideal ring. Here we extend the results to representations of a quiver by finitely generated projective modules over…
We show that every Grigorchuk group $G_\omega$ embeds in (the commutator subgroup of) the topological full group of a minimal subshift. In particular, the topological full group of a Cantor minimal system can have subgroups of intermediate…
We study pairs $(V, V_{1})$, $V \subseteq V_1$, of models of $ZFC$ such that adding $\kappa-$many Cohen reals over $V_{1}$ adds $\lambda-$many Cohen reals over $V$ for some $\lambda> \kappa$.
We continue [Sh:b, Ch XIII] and [Sh:410]. Let W be an inner model of ZFC. Let kappa be a cardinal in V. We say that kappa-covering holds between V and W iff for all X in V with X subseteq ON and V models |X|< kappa, there exists Y in W such…
We show that the Peiffer commutator previously defined by Cigoli, Mantovani and Metere can be used to characterize central extensions of precrossed modules with respect to the subcategory of crossed modules in any semi-abelian category…
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…
The Nevo-Zimmer theorem classifies the possible intermediate $G$-factors $Y$ in $X \times G/P \to Y \to X$, where $G$ is a higher rank semisimple Lie group, $P$ a minimal parabolic and $X$ an irreducible $G$-space with an invariant…
Let $R$ be a complete discrete valuation ring with fraction field $K$ and with algebraically closed residue field. Let $X$ be a faithfully flat $R$-scheme of finite type of relative dimension 1 and $G$ be any affine $K$-group scheme of…
In this paper we first formulate several ``combinatorial principles'' concerning kappa \times omega matrices of subsets of omega and prove that they are valid in the generic extension obtained by adding any number of Cohen reals to any…
We lay the ground for an Isabelle/ZF formalization of Cohen's technique of forcing. We formalize the definition of forcing notions as preorders with top, dense subsets, and generic filters. We formalize the definition of forcing notions as…
We extend a transitive model V of ZFC + GCH cardinal preservingly to a model N of ZF + "GCH holds below Alef_omega" + "there is a surjection from the power set of Alef_omega onto lambda" where lambda is an arbitrarily high fixed cardinal in…
