We introduce new cardinal invariants of a poset, called the comparability number and the incomparability number. We determine their value for well-known posets, such as $\omega^\omega$, $\mathcal{P}(\omega)/\mathrm{fin}$, the Turing degrees…
The weakly compact reflection principle $\text{Refl}_{\text{wc}}(\kappa)$ states that $\kappa$ is a weakly compact cardinal and every weakly compact subset of $\kappa$ has a weakly compact proper initial segment. The weakly compact…
If kappa is any strongly unfoldable cardinal, then this is preserved in a forcing extension in which Diamond_kappa(REG) fails. This result continues the progression of the corresponding results for weakly compact cardinals, due to Woodin,…
We characterize the compactness properties of the product of \lambda\ copies of the space \omega\ with the discrete topology, dealing in particular with the case \lambda\ singular, using regular and uniform ultrafilters, infinitary…
We prove that some natural "outside" property is equivalent (for a first order class) to being stable. For a model, being resplendent is a strengthening of being kappa-saturated. Restricting ourselves to the case kappa > |T| for…
We prove under $V=L$ that the inclusion modulo the non-stationary ideal is a $\Sigma_1^1$-complete quasi-order in the generalized Borel-reducibility hierarchy ($\kappa>\omega$). This improvement to known results in $L$ has many new…
We summarize the known methods of producing a non-supercompact strongly compact cardinal and describe some new variants. Our Main Theorem shows how to apply these methods to many cardinals simultaneously and exactly control which cardinals…
If $S,T$ are stationary subsets of a regular uncountable cardinal $\kappa$, we say that $S$ reflects fully in $T$, $S<T$, if for almost all $\alpha \in T$ (except a nonstationary set) $S \cap \alpha$ is stationary in $\alpha .$ This…
We investigate generalizations of the topology of the higher Cantor space on $2^\kappa$, based on arbitrary ideals rather than the bounded ideal on $\kappa$. Our main focus is on the topology induced by the nonstationary ideal, and we call…
Through careful analysis of an argument of Brooke-Taylor and Rosicky, we show that the powerful image of any accessible functor is closed under colimits of $\kappa$-chains, $\kappa$ a sufficiently large almost measurable cardinal. This…
We show that there are locally compact spaces that can be condensed onto separable spaces but not onto compact separable spaces. We also show that for every cardinal $\kappa$ there is a locally compact topological group of cardinality…
Generalizing classical descriptive set theory opens foundational questions about the Borel hierarchy. In this paper we systematically study those questions, working in the general framework of Polish-like spaces relative to an uncountable…
Given an ordinal delta <= lambda and a cardinal theta <= kappa, an ideal J on P_kappa(lambda) is said to be [delta]^{<theta}-normal if given B_e in J for e in P_theta(delta), the set of all a in P_kappa(lambda) such that a in B_e for some e…
A classical theorem of Hechler asserts that the structure $\left(\omega^\omega,\le^*\right)$ is universal in the sense that for any $\sigma$-directed poset P with no maximal element, there is a ccc forcing extension in which…
We study methods to obtain the consistency of forcing axioms, and particularly higher forcing axioms. We first force over a model with a supercompact cardinal $\theta>\kappa$ to get the consistency of the forcing axiom for $\kappa$-strongly…
We show that the order dimension of the partial order of all finite subsets of $\kappa$ under set inclusion is ${\log}_{2}({\log}_{2}(\kappa))$ whenever $\kappa$ is an infinite cardinal. We also show that the order dimension of any locally…
Here we deal with some problems posed by Matet. The first section deals with the existence of stationary subsets of [lambda]^{<kappa} with no unbounded subsets which are not stationary, where, of course, kappa is regular uncountable less or…
Let $p$ and $q$ be two distinct odd primes. Let $K$ be an imaginary quadratic field over which $p$ and $q$ are both split. Let $\Psi$ be a Hecke character over $K$ of infinity type $(k,j)$ with $0\le-j< k$. Under certain technical…
Motivated by recent results and questions of D. Raghavan and S. Shelah, we present ZFC theorems on the bounding and various almost disjointness numbers, as well as on reaping and dominating families on uncountable, regular cardinals. We…
We can generalize the definition of {\it splitting number } $s(\kappa )$ for $\kappa$ uncountable regular: $s(\kappa )=min\{ |\Cal S|:\Cal S\subset \Cal P(\kappa ) \forall a\in \kappa ^\kappa \exists b\in \Cal S |a\cap b|=|a\setminus…
