For infinite cardinals $\kappa,\lambda$ let $C(\kappa,\lambda)$ denote the class of all compact Hausdorff spaces of weight $\kappa$ and size $\lambda$. So $C(\kappa,\lambda)=\emptyset$ if $\kappa>\lambda$ or $\lambda>2^\kappa$. If F is a…

In random cellular systems, both observation and maximum entropy inference give a specific form to the topological pair correlation: it is bi-affine in the cells number of edges with coefficients depending on the distance between the two…

This paper provides a full characterization for when the expansion of a complete o-minimal theory by a unary predicate that picks out a divisible dense and codense subgroup has a model companion. This result is motivated by criteria and…

We discuss the connections between the failure of the axiom of choice in set theory, and certain model-theoretic structures with enough symmetry.

Given a module $X$ and a regular cardinal $\kappa$ we study various notions of $(\kappa,\mathrm{Add}(X))$-freeness and $(\kappa,\mathrm{Add}(X))$-separability. Bearing on appropriate set-theoretic assumptions, we construct a non-trivial…

We consider mainly the following version of set theory:"ZF + DC and for every $\lambda,\lambda^{\aleph_0}$ is well ordered", our thesis is that this is a reasonable set theory, e.g. much can be said. In particular, we prove that for a…

Over a perfect field $k$ of characteristic $p > 0$, we construct a ``Witt vector cohomology with compact supports'' for separated $k$-schemes of finite type, extending (after tensorisation with $\mathbb{Q}$) the classical theory for proper…

A recent paper by Zapletal arXiv:2404.10612 discusses permutation models of set theory which arise from dynamical ideals and highlights properties of the dynamical ideal which relate to fragments of choice in the permutation model. In this…

We improve previous work on the consistency strength of mutually stationary sequences of sets concentrating on points with divergent cofinality building on previous work by Adolf, Cox and Welch. Specifically, we have greatly reduced our…

We mainly investigate model of set theory with restricted choice, e.g., ZF + DC + "the family of countable subsets of lambda is well ordered for every lambda" (really local version for a given lambda). In this frame much of pcf theory can…

Compact sets in constructive mathematics capture our intuition of what computable subsets of the plane (or any other complete metric space) ought to be. A good representation of compact sets provides an efficient means of creating and…

We study the Borel and analytic subsets of the spaces \({}^{\kappa}\kappa\) and \({}^{\kappa}2\) endowed with ideal topologies, where \(\kappa\) is a regular uncountable cardinal. We establish that the Borel hierarchy does not collapse in…

We develop Descriptive Set Theory in Generalized Baire Spaces without assuming $\kappa^{<\kappa}=\kappa$. We point out that without this assumption the basic topological concepts of these spaces have to be slightly modified in order to…

We introduce the family of axioms, denoted $\operatorname{Slice}_\kappa$, that claim the existence of strictly increasing decompositions of the form $$2^{\delta}=\bigcup_{\alpha<\kappa} 2^{\delta}\cap M_\alpha,$$ where $\delta<\kappa$, and…

This paper is part II of a study on cardinals that are characterizable by a Scott sentence, continuing the work from http://arxiv.org/abs/1007.2426v1. A cardinal $\kappa$ is characterized by a Scott sentence $\phi_M$, if $\phi_M$ has a…

We note a parallel between some ideas of stable model theory and certain topics in finite combinatorics related to the sum-product phenomenon. For a simple linear group G, we show that a finite subset X with |X X \^{-1} X |/ |X| bounded is…

We show, assuming PD, that every complete finitely axiomatized second order theory with a countable model is categorical, but that there is, assuming again PD, a complete recursively axiomatized second order theory with a countable model…

Set-theoretic axioms formulated in terms of existence of a Laver-generic large cardinal were introduced in [16] and studied further in [17], [18], [20]. These axioms, let us call them Laver-genericity axioms, claim the existence of a…

Completeness is proved for some subsystems of a system of coherent states. The linear dependence of states is investigated for the von Neumann type subsystems. A detailed study is made of the case when a regular lattice on the complex…

For a group G with trivial center there is a natural embedding of G into its automorphism group, so we can look at the latter as an extension of the group. So an increasing continuous sequence of groups, the automorphism tower, is defined,…
