We study the relationship between a $\kappa$-Souslin tree $T$ and its reduced powers $T^\theta/\mathcal U$. Previous works addressed this problem from the viewpoint of a single power $\theta$, whereas here, tools are developed for…
A wide Aronszajn tree is a tree of size and height $\omega_1$ with no uncountable branches. We prove that under $MA(\omega_1)$ there is no wide Aronszajn tree which is universal under weak embeddings. This solves an open question of Mekler…
The primary goal of this paper is to establish a model of $ZFC$ wherein the definable tree property is affirmed for all uncountable regular cardinals. This endeavor commences with the utilization of both a supercompact cardinal and a…
We prove that mu = mu^{< mu}, 2^mu = mu^+ and ``there is a non reflecting stationary subset of mu^+ composed of ordinals of cofinality < mu'' imply that there is a mu-complete Souslin tree on mu^+ .
We continue the study of token sliding reconfiguration graphs of independent sets initiated by the authors in an earlier paper (arXiv:2203.16861). Two of the topics in that paper were to study which graphs $G$ are token sliding graphs and…
We prove the following indistinguishability theorem for $k$-tuples of trees in the uniform spanning forest of $\mathbb{Z}^d$: Suppose that $\mathscr{A}$ is a property of a $k$-tuple of components that is stable under finite modifications of…
We present reasons for developing a theory of forcing notions which satisfy the properness demand for countable models which are not necessarily elementary submodels of some (H(chi), in). This leads to forcing notions which are…
We analyze the forcing notion $\mathcal P$ of finite matrices whose rows consists of isomorphic countable elementary submodels of a given structure of the form $H_{\theta}$. We show that forcing with this poset adds a Kurepa tree $T$.…
We show that under certain circumstances wide Aronszajn trees can be specialized iteratively without adding reals. We then use this fact to study forcing axioms compatible with CH and list some open problems.
We prove that for an arbitrary subtree $T$ of $2^{<\omega}$ with each element extendable to a path, a given countable class $\mathcal{M}$ closed under disjoint union, and any set $A$, if none of the members of $\mathcal{M}$ strongly…
In this note we answer a question of Kunen (15.13 [Mi91]) showing that it is consistent that there are full Souslin trees
A class of acyclic digraphs $\mathscr{C}$ is linearly unavoidable if there exists a constant $c$ such that every digraph $D\in \mathscr{C}$ is contained in all tournaments of order $c\cdot |V(D)|$. The class of all acyclic digraphs is not…
We define an all-$k$-isolating set of a graph to be a set $S$ of vertices such that, if one removes $S$ and all its neighbors, then no component in what remains has order $k$ or more. The case $k=1$ corresponds to a dominating set and the…
We show that there are proper forcings based upon countable trees of creatures that specialize a given Aronszajn tree.
We introduce a new combinatorial principle which we call $\clubsuit_{AD}$. This principle asserts the existence of a certain multi-ladder system with guessing and almost-disjointness features, and is shown to be sufficient for carrying out…
We give two consistent constructions of trees $T$ whose finite power $T^{n+1}$ is sharply different from $T^n$: 1. An $\aleph_1$-tree $T$ whose interval topology $X_T$ is perfectly normal, but $(X_T)^2$ is not even countably metacompact. 2.…
In this paper we consider a notion of nonmeasurablity with respect to Marczewski and Marczewski-like tree ideals $s_0$, $m_0$, $l_0$, and $cl_0$. We show that there exists a subset $A$ of the Baire space $\omega^\omega$ which is $s$-, $l$-,…
We consider a dichotomy for analytic families of trees stating that either there is a colouring of the nodes for which all but finitely many levels of every tree are nonhomogeneous, or else the family contains an uncountable antichain. This…
We introduce and study a multiplicative analogue of additive indecomposability for linear order types that we call untranscendability, as well as a strengthening that we call $s$-untranscendability. We show that, with the unique exception…
Building on recent work of Krueger and the second author, we prove the consistency of the Guessing Model Principle at $\omega_2$ together with the existence of an almost Kurepa Suslin tree. In particular, it is consistent that the Guessing…
