Say that a cardinal number $\kappa$ is \emph{small} relative to the space $X$ if $\kappa <\Delta(X)$, where $\Delta(X)$ is the least cardinality of a non-empty open set in $X$. We prove that no Baire metric space can be covered by a small…

The aim of this paper is to consider questions concerning the possible maximum cardinality of various separable pseudoradial (in short: SP) spaces. The most intriguing question here is if there is, in ZFC, a regular (or just Hausdorff) SP…

Given commuting functions f,g, with at most a countable compact set of essential singularities, recent results for entire functions are extended to prove that Julia sets match, J(f)=J(g), in a particular case in the class K. With this…

We study the question, what computational power is sufficient to perform constructions using either Laver or Hechler forcing. As a result, we obtain a separation between three relativised non-lowness classes that are the…

We show, assuming the consistency of one measurable cardinal, that it is consistent for there to be exactly kappa+ many normal measures on the least measurable cardinal kappa. This answers a question of Stewart Baldwin. The methods…

We answer a question of Woodin by showing that assuming an inaccessible cardinal $\kappa$ which is a limit of ${<}\kappa$-supercompact cardinals exists, there is a stationary set preserving forcing $\mathbb{P}$ so that $V^{\mathbb…

We show that it is consistent that for some uncountable cardinal k, all compactifications of the countable discrete space with remainders homeomorphic to $D^k$ are homeomorphic to each other. On the other hand, there are $2^c$ pairwise…

We survey old and recent results on the problem of finding a complete set of rules describing the behavior of the power function, i.e. the function which takes a cardinal $\kappa$ to the cardinality of its power $2^\kappa$.

We introduce more properties of forcing notions which imply that their lambda-support iterations are lambda-proper, where lambda is an inaccessible cardinal. This paper is a direct continuation of section A.2 of math.LO/0210205. As an…

This work is a part of my upcoming thesis [7]. We establish an equiconsistency between (1) weak indestructibility for all $\kappa +2$-degrees of strength for cardinals $\kappa $ in the presence of a proper class of strong cardinals, and (2)…

Given a regular cardinal $\kappa$ such that $\kappa^{<\kappa}=\kappa$, we study a class of toposes with enough points, the $\kappa$-separable toposes. These are equivalent to sheaf toposes over a site with $\kappa$-small limits that has at…

We prove two $\mathrm{ZFC}$ inequalities between cardinal invariants. The first inequality involves cardinal invariants associated with an analytic P-ideal, in particular the ideal of subsets of $\omega$ of asymptotic density $0$. We obtain…

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…

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…

Viale \cite{Viale_GuessingModel} introduced the notion of Generic Laver Diamond at $\kappa$---which we denote $\Diamond_{\text{Lav}}(\kappa)$---asserting the existence of a single function from $\kappa \to H_\kappa$ that behaves much like a…

A simplified construction is presented for Komj\'ath's result that for every uncountable cardinal $\kappa$, there are $2^\kappa$ graphs of size $\kappa$ none of them being a minor of another.

We study the consistency and consistency strength of various configurations concerning the cardinal characteristics $\mathfrak{s}_\theta,\mathfrak{p}_\theta,\mathfrak{g}_\theta,\mathfrak{r}_\theta,\mathfrak{t}_\theta$ at uncountable regular…

Given any $\lambda\leq\kappa$, we construct a symmetric extension in which there is a set $X$ such that $\aleph(X)=\lambda$ and $\aleph^*(X)=\kappa$. Consequently, we show that $\mathsf{ZF}+$"For all pairs of infinite cardinals…

We investigate the behavior of cardinal characteristics of the reals under extensions that do not add new ${<}\kappa$-sequences (for some regular $\kappa$). As an application, we show that consistently the following cardinal characteristics…

Let $X$ be a locally compact topological space, $(Y,d)$ be a boundedly compact metric space and $LB(X,Y)$ be the space of all locally bounded functions from $X$ to $Y$. We characterize compact sets in $LB(X,Y)$ equipped with the topology of…
