Let $ \kappa , \theta < \lambda$ be cardinals, with $\lambda$ and $\kappa$ regular. Concentrating on a simple case, we say that the triple $(\lambda,\kappa,\theta)$ has a Super Black Box when the following holds. For some stationary $S…

I show that it is consistent relative to the consistency of a Mahlo cardinal that Martin's axiom holds at $\omega_2$, but the weak Kurepa Hypothesis fails. This answers a question posed by Honzik, Lambie-Hanson and Stejskalov\'a. The…

The algebraic $\lambda$-calculus is an extension of the ordinary $\lambda$-calculus with linear combinations of terms. We establish that two ordinary $\lambda$-terms are equivalent in the algebraic $\lambda$-calculus iff they are…

Working in the context of restricted forms of the Axiom of Choice, we consider the problem of splitting the ordinals below $\lambda$ of cofinality $\theta$ into $\lambda$ many stationary sets, where $\theta < \lambda$ are regular cardinals.…

Ben-David and Shelah proved that if $\lambda$ is a singular strong-limit cardinal and $2^\lambda=\lambda^+$, then $\square^*_\lambda$ entails the existence of a normal $\lambda$-distributive $\lambda^+$-Aronszajn tree. Here, it is proved…

We point out a gap in Shelah's proof of the following result: $\mathbf{Claim}$ Let $K$ be an abstract elementary class categorical in unboundedly many cardinals. Then there exists a cardinal $\lambda$ such that whenever $M, N \in K$ have…

Starting from infinitely many supercompact cardinals, we force a model of ZFC where $\aleph_{\omega^2+1}$ satisfies simultaneously a strong principle of reflection, called $\Delta$-reflection, and a version of the square principle, denoted…

Given a cardinal $\lambda$, category forcing axioms for $\lambda$-suitable classes $\Gamma$ are strong forcing axioms which completely decide the theory of the Chang model $\mathcal C_\lambda$, modulo generic extensions via forcing notions…

If $X$ is a topological space and $\kappa$ is a cardinal then $\mathsf{BA}_\kappa (X)$ is the statement that for each pair $A, B \subseteq X$ of $\kappa$-dense subsets there is an autohomeomorphism $h:X \to X$ mapping $A$ to $B$. In…

Starting from a supercompact cardinal we build a model in which $2^{\aleph_{\omega_1}}=2^{\aleph_{\omega_1+1}}=\aleph_{\omega_1+3}$ but there is a jointly universal family of size $\aleph_{\omega_1+2}$ of graphs on $\aleph_{\omega_1+1}$.…
