We investigate fragments of generic absoluteness principles known as Maximality Principles. We determine the consistency strength of $\Sigma_n$-$\mathsf{MP}(\mathbb R)$ and $\Pi_n$-$\mathsf{MP}(\mathbb R)$, the boldface Maximality Principle…

We strengthen a result of Bagaria and Magidor~\cite{MR3152715} about the relationship between large cardinals and torsion classes of abelian groups, and prove that (1) the \emph{Maximum Deconstructibility} principle introduced in…

We introduce combinatorial principles that characterize strong compactness and supercompactness for inaccessible cardinals but also make sense for successor cardinals. Their consistency is established from what is supposedly optimal.…

For Van Douwen families, maximal families of eventually different permutations and maximal ideal independent families we show that the existence of a $\Sigma^1_2$ family implies the existence of a $\Pi^1_1$ family of the same size. We also…

In a partially ordered semigroup with the duality (or polarity) transform, it is possible to define a generalisation of continued fractions. General sufficient conditions for convergence of continued fractions with deterministic terms are…

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 $\kappa$…

A function $f:X\to Y$ between topological spaces is called {\em compact-preserving} if the image $f(K)$ of each compact subset $K\subset X$ is compact. We prove that a function $f:X\to Y$ defined on a strong Frechet space $X$ is…

In this paper, we discuss the fixed point property for an infinite family of order-preserving mappings which satisfy the Lipschitzian condition on comparable pairs. The underlying framework of our main results is a metric space of any…

We study a two-parameter family $a_{n}(p,t)$ of deformations of the Fuss numbers. We show a sufficient condition for positive definiteness of $a_n(p,t)$ and prove that some of the corresponding probability measures are infinitely divisible…

A family of permutations $A \subset S_n$ is said to be \emph{$t$-set-intersecting} if for any two permutations $\sigma, \pi \in A$, there exists a $t$-set $x$ whose image is the same under both permutations, i.e. $\sigma(x)=\pi(x)$. We…

We show that there exist unbounded functionals on the spaces of sequences that take at most one nonzero value on an arbitrary family of elements whose supports are pairwise disjoint.

Partition functions arise in statistical physics and probability theory as the normalizing constant of Gibbs measures and in combinatorics and graph theory as graph polynomials. For instance the partition functions of the hard-core model…

As the main theorem, it is proved that a collection of minimal $PI$-flows with a common phase group and satisfying a certain algebraic condition is multiply disjoint if and only if the collection of the associated maximal equicontinuous…

In this paper, we introduce a family of residually finite groups that helps us to systematically study the residual finiteness growth function (RFG) from various perspectives. First, by strengthening results of Bou-Rabee and Seward and also…

Let $k$ be an infinite finitely generated field of characteristic $p>0$. Fix a separated scheme $X$ smooth, geometrically connected, and of finite type over $k$ and a smooth proper morphism $f:Y\rightarrow X$. The main result of this paper…

Recently the second author introduced combinatorial principles that characterize supercompactness for inaccessible cardinals but can also hold true for small cardinals. We prove that the proper forcing axiom PFA implies these principles…

From many supercompact cardinals, we show that it is consistent for the tree property to hold at many small successors of singular cardinals, each with a different cofinality. In particular, we construct a model in which the tree property…

We show Shelah's original creature forcing from 1984 strongly preserves tight mad families. In particular, answering questions of Fischer and Friedman and Friedman and Zdomskyy, we show the constellation $\aleph_1 = \mathfrak{a} <…

Let $\mathrm{cof}(\mu)=\mu$ and $\kappa$ be a supercompact cardinal with $\mu<\kappa$. Assume that there is an increasing and continuous sequence of cardinals $\langle\kappa_\xi\mid \xi<\mu\rangle$ with $\kappa_0:=\kappa$ and such that, for…

Various problems on integers lead to the class of congruence preserving functions on rings, i.e. functions verifying $a-b$ divides $f(a)-f(b)$ for all $a,b$. We characterized these classes of functions in terms of sums of rational…
