Let \alpha be a countable ordinal and \P(\alpha) the collection of its subsets isomorphic to \alpha. We show that the separative quotient of the set \P (\alpha) ordered by the inclusion is isomorphic to a forcing product of iterated reduced…

Let $\mathcal{E}$ be the $\sigma$-ideal generated by the closed measure zero sets of reals. We use an ultrafilter-extendable matrix iteration of ccc posets to force that, for $\mathcal{E}$, their associated cardinal characteristics (i.e.\…

For elements $a, b$ of a C*-algebra we denote $a=ab$ by $a\ll b$. We show that all $\omega_1$-unital C*-algebras have $\ll$-increasing approximate units, extending a classical result for $\sigma$-unital C*-algebras. We also construct (in…

We present a method to iterate finitely splitting lim-sup tree forcings along non-wellfounded linear orders. We apply this method to construct a forcing (without using an inaccessible or amalgamation) that makes all definable sets of reals…

We study the properties of the constructible universe, L, over intuitionistic theories. We give an extended set of fundamental operations which is sufficient to generate the universe over Intuitionistic Kripke-Platek set theory without…

A Hilbert $C^*$-quad module of finite type has a multi structure of Hilbert $C^*$-bimodules with two finite bases. We will construct a $C^*$-algebra from a Hilbert $C^*$-quad module of finite type and prove its universality subject to…

We give a new definition of the semigroup C*-algebra of a left cancellative semigroup, which resolves problems of the construction by X. Li. Namely, the new construction is functorial, and the independence of ideals in the semigroup does…

We construct a unital pre-C*-algebra $A_0$ which is stably finite, in the sense that every left invertible square matrix over $A_0$ is right invertible, while the C*-completion of $A_0$ contains a non-unitary isometry, and so it is…

We prove that the $L_1$-norms associated with a positive element $a$ of a unital C*-algebra are equivalent to the norm of C*-algebra if and only if $a$ is invertible.

Let $M$ be a transitive model of $ZFC$ and let ${\bf B}$ be a $M$-complete Boolean algebra in $M.$ (In general a proper class.) We define a generalized notion of forcing with such Boolean algebras, $^*$forcing. (A $^*$ forcing extension of…

Let $L$ be a countable language. We characterize, in terms of definable closure, those countable theories $\Sigma$ of $\mathcal{L}_{\omega_1, \omega}(L)$ for which there exists an $S_\infty$-invariant probability measure on the collection…

We show that the cofinalities of both the Miller ideal m^0 (the sigma-ideal naturally related to Miller forcing) and the Laver ideal ell^0 (related to Laver forcing) are larger than the size of the continuum in ZFC.

Cohesive powers of computable structures are effective analogs of ultrapowers, where cohesive sets play the role of ultrafilters. Let $\omega$, $\zeta$, and $\eta$ denote the respective order-types of the natural numbers, the integers, and…

We isolate the limit-stage filter construction needed for countable-support symmetric iterations built from standard successor-step symmetric systems. At successor stages we take the $\omega_1$-completion of the usual successor-stage…

We define a categorical framework in which we build a systematic construction that provides generic invariants for C*-algebras. The benefit is significant as we show that any invariant arising this way automatically enjoys nice properties…

Denote by $\continuum=2^{\aleph_0}$ the cardinal of continuum. We construct an intriguing family $(P_\alpha: \alpha\in\continuum)$ of prime $z$-ideals in $\C_0(\reals)$ with the following properties: If $f\in P_{i_0}$ for some…

We present in this paper a universal method of constructing left-continuous triangular norms (l.-c. t-norms). The starting point is an arbitrary, possibly finite, totally ordered monoid fulfilling the conditions that are characteristic for…

We consider the functor C that to a unital C*-algebra A assigns the partial order set C(A) of its commutative C*-subalgebras ordered by inclusion. We investigate how some C*-algebraic properties translate under the action of C to…

We prove that if there exists a simplified $(\omega_1,2)$-morass, then there is a ccc forcing which adds an $\omega_3$-chain in P($\omega_1$) mod finite and a ccc forcing which adds a family of $\omega_3$-many strongly almost disjoint…

Using a finite support iteration of ccc forcings, we construct a model of $\aleph_1<\mathrm{add}(\mathcal{N})<\mathrm{cov}(\mathcal{N})<\mathfrak{b}<\mathrm{non}(\mathcal{M})<\mathrm{cov}(\mathcal{M})=\mathfrak{c}$.
