We prove that if there is an elementary embedding from the universe to itself, then there is a proper class of measurable successor cardinals.
We characterize the situation of having many normal measures on a measurable cardinal. We show the plausibility of having many normal measures on each compact cardinal.
The main result of this paper shows that a weak form of Tower Sealing holds in a generic extension of hod mice with a strong cardinal and a proper class of Woodin cardinals. We show Tower Sealing fails in such extensions in general. We show…
We show that very general hypersurfaces in odd-dimensional simplicial projective toric varieties verifying a certain combinatorial property satisfy the Hodge conjecture (these include projective spaces). This gives a connection between the…
The representation of a general Calder\'on--Zygmund operator in terms of dyadic Haar shift operators first appeared as a tool to prove the $A_2$ theorem, and it has found a number of other applications. In this paper we prove a new dyadic…
Recent results of Hindman, Leader and Strauss and of Fern\'andez-Bret\'on and Rinot showed that natural versions of Hindman's Theorem fail {\em for all} uncontable cardinals. On the other hand, Komj\'ath proved a result in the positive…
We prove that the strong polarized relation of $\theta$ above $\omega$ applied simultaneously for every cardinal in the interval $[\aleph_1,\aleph]$ is consistent. We conclude that this positive relation is consistent for every cardinal…
We obtain a rigidity phenomena of rational cohomology automorphisms of certain homogeneous spaces, in the presence of external cohomology classes arising from spaces with trivial cup product in rational cohomology algebra. We classify…
We unveil new patterns of Structural Reflection in the large-cardinal hierarchy below the first measurable cardinal. Namely, we give two different characterizations of strongly unfoldable and subtle cardinals in terms of a weak form of the…
A new transparent proof of the well known good compactification theorem for the complex torus $(\Bbb C^*)^n$ is presented. This theorem provides a powerful tool in enumerative geometry for subvarieties in the complex torus. The paper also…
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…
An proof of Poincare Duality with local coefficients and with compact support is provided. The proof does not require Sheaf Theory or anything equivalent and is thus more accessible for the general audience.
If L is an order polynomially complete lattice, (that is: every monotone function from L^n to L is induced by a lattice-theoretic polynomial) then the cardinality of L is a strongly inaccessible cardinal. In particular, the existence of…
We improve the upper bound for the consistency strength of stationary reflection at successors of singular cardinals.
This technical report presents a direct proof of Theorem~1 in [1] and some consequences that also account for (20) in [1]. This direct proof exploits a state space change of basis which replaces the coupled difference equations (10) in [1]…
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…
We study a scalar field theory with a non-standard kinetic term minimally coupled to gravity. We establish the existence of compact boson stars, that is, static solutions with compact support of the full system with self-gravitation taken…
We present a simple resolution proof system for higher-order constrained Horn clauses (HoCHC) - a system of higher-order logic modulo theories - and prove its soundness and refutational completeness w.r.t. the standard semantics. As…
Given a Woodin cardinal $\delta$, I show that if $F$ is any Easton function with $F"\delta\subseteq\delta$ and $\GCH$ holds, then there is a cofinality-preserving forcing extension in which $2^\gamma= F(\gamma)$ for each regular cardinal…
Informally, a homotopy monoid is a monoid-like structure in which properties such as associativity only hold `up to homotopy' in some consistent way. This short paper comprises a rigorous definition of homotopy monoid and a brief analysis…
