We prove from suitable large cardinal hypotheses that the least weakly compact cardinal can be unfoldable, weakly measurable and even nearly $\theta$-supercompact, for any desired $\theta$. In addition, we prove several global results…

We characterize exactly the compactness properties of the product of \kappa\ copies of the space \omega\ with the discrete topology. The characterization involves uniform ultrafilters, infinitary languages, and the existence of nonstandard…

We introduce an axiomatisation of when a model of the form $L(V_{\kappa+1})^M$ can be considered a ``$\kappa$-Solovay model''; we show a characterisation of $\kappa$-Solovay models; and we prove elementary equivalences between…

While many inner model theoretic combinatorial principles are incompatible with large cardinal axioms, on some rare occasions, large cardinals actually imply that the structure of the universe of sets is analogous to the canonical inner…

A set theory is developed based on the approximations of sets and denoted by AS. In AS the set of all sets exists but the argument for Russell's and Cantor's paradox fail. The Axioms of Separation, Replacement and Foundation are not valid.…

We like to develop model theory for $T$, a complete theory in $\mathbb{L}_{\theta,\theta}(\tau)$ when $\theta$ is a compact cardinal. By [Sh:300a] we have bare bones stability and it seemed we can go no further. Dealing with ultrapowers…

We continue our investigation =of Shelah's interpretability orders $\trianglelefteq^*_\kappa$ as well as the new orders $\trianglelefteq^\times_\kappa$. In particular, we give streamlined proofs of the existence of minimal unstable,…

W.H. Woodin showed that if $\kappa_1 < \cdots < \kappa_n$ are strong cardinals then two-step ${\bf\Sigma}^1_{n+3}$ generic absoluteness holds after collapsing $2^{2^{\kappa_n}}$ to be countable. We show that this number can be reduced to…

We prove the following continuous analogue of Vaught's Two-Cardinal Theorem: if for some $\kappa>\lambda\geq \aleph_0$, a continuous theory $T$ has a model with density character $\kappa$ which has a definable subset of density character…

We present two different types of models where, for certain singular cardinals lambda of uncountable cofinality, lambda -> (lambda, omega+1)^2, although lambda is not a strong limit cardinal. We announce, here, and will present in a…

Hyperspaces $\mathcal H(X)$ of all countable compact subsets of a metric space $X$ and $\mathcal A_n(X)$ of infinite compact subsets which have at most $n$ ($n\in\mathbb N$), or finitely many ($n=\omega$) or countably many ($n=\omega+1$)…

From large cardinals we show the consistency of normal, fine, $\kappa$-complete $\lambda$-dense ideals on $\mathcal{P}_\kappa(\lambda)$ for successor $\kappa$. We explore the interplay between dense ideals, cardinal arithmetic, and squares,…

Let K be an abstract elementary class satisfying the joint embedding and the amalgamation properties. Let m be a cardinal above the the L\"owenheim-Skolem number of the class. Suppose K satisfies the disjoint amalgamation property for limit…

We improve the previous work of Yorioka and the first author about the combinatorics of the ideal $\mathcal{SN}$ of strong measure zero sets of reals. We refine the notions of dominating systems of the first author and introduce the new…

We show that the definition of caliber given by Engelking in R. Engelking, "General topology", Sigma series in pure mathematics, Heldermann, vol. 6, 1989, which we will call caliber*, differs from the traditional notion of this concept in…

A subset of a Polish space $X$ is called universally small if it belongs to each ccc $\sigma$-ideal with Borel base on $X$. Under CH in each uncountable Abelian Polish group $G$ we construct a universally small subset $A_0\subset G$ such…

We solve a long standing question due to Arhangel'skii by constructing a compact space which has a $G_\delta$ cover with no continuum-sized ($G_\delta$)-dense subcollection. We also prove that in a countably compact weakly Lindel\"of normal…

We construct a variety of inner models exhibiting features usually obtained by forcing over universes with large cardinals. For example, if there is a supercompact cardinal, then there is an inner model with a Laver indestructible…

The Wholeness Axioms, proposed by Paul Corazza, axiomatize the existence of an elementary embedding j:V-->V. Formalized by augmenting the usual language of set theory with an additional unary function symbol j to represent the embedding,…

Let $\lambda_{1},\ldots,\lambda_{n}$ be real numbers in $(0,1)$ and $p_{1},\ldots,p_{n}$ be points in $\mathbb{R}^{d}$. Consider the collection of maps $f_{j}:\mathbb{R}^{d}\to\mathbb{R}^{d} $ given by $$f_{j}(x)=\lambda_{j} x…
