We consider the two-cardinal Kurepa Hypothesis $\mathsf{KH}(\kappa,\lambda)$. We observe that if $\kappa\leq\lambda<\mu$ are infinite cardinals then…

In 1990, Comfort asked: is there, for every cardinal number $\alpha \leq 2^{\mathfrak{c}}$, a topological group $G$ such that $G^\gamma$ is countably compact for all cardinals $\gamma<\alpha$, but $G^\alpha$ is not countably compact? A…

We develop a version of Cichon's diagram for cardinal invariants on the generalized Cantor space 2^kappa or the generalized Baire space kappa^kappa where kappa is an uncountable regular cardinal. For strongly inaccessible kappa, many of the…

We study conditions on automorphisms of Boolean algebras of the form $P(\lambda)/I_\kappa$ (where $\lambda$ is an uncountable cardinal and $I_\kappa$ is the ideal of sets of cardinality less than $\kappa$) which allow one to conclude that a…

It is known that a Banach space contains an isomorphic copy of $c_0$ if, and only if, it can be equivalently renormed to be almost square. We introduce and study transfinite versions of almost square Banach spaces with the purpose to relate…

This is part I of a study on cardinals that are characterizable by Scott sentences. Building on [3], [6] and [1] we study which cardinals are characterizable by a Scott sentence $\phi$, in the sense that $\phi$ characterizes $\kappa$, if…

We address a number of problems on Boolean Algebras. For example, we construct, in ZFC, for any BA B, and cardinal kappa BAs B_1,B_2 extending B such that the depth of the free product of B_1,B_2 over B is strictly larger than the depths of…

We investigate products of sets of reals with combinatorial covering properties. A topological space satisfies $\mathsf{S}_1(\Gamma,\Gamma)$ if for each sequence of point-cofinite open covers of the space, one can pick one element from each…

In the context of large cardinals, the classical diamond principle Diamond_kappa is easily strengthened in natural ways. When kappa is a measurable cardinal, for example, one might ask that a Diamond_kappa sequence anticipate every subset…

We consider special subclasses of the class of Lindel\"of Sigma-spaces obtained by imposing restrictions on the weight of the elements of compact covers that admit countable networks: A space $X$ is in the class $L\Sigma(\leq\kappa)$ if it…

Motivated by recent results and questions of D. Raghavan and S. Shelah, we present ZFC theorems on the bounding and various almost disjointness numbers, as well as on reaping and dominating families on uncountable, regular cardinals. We…

For a metrizable space $X$ of density $\kappa$, let $PM(X)$ be the space of continuous bounded pseudometrics on $X$ endowed with the uniform convergence topology. In this paper, its topology shall be classified as follows: (i) If $X$ is…

If $\kappa$ is regular and $2^{<\kappa}\leq\kappa^+$, then the existence of a weakly presaturated ideal on $\kappa^+$ implies $\square^*_\kappa$. This partially answers a question of Foreman and Magidor about the approachability ideal on…

We establish some similarities/analogies between uncountable cardinals or powersets and the class $V$ of all sets. They concern mainly the Boolean algebras ${\cal P}(\kappa)$, for a regular cardinal $\kappa$, and ${\cal C}(V)$ (the class of…

Assuming $\kappa$ is a supercompact cardinal and $\lambda$ is an inaccessible cardinal above it, we present an idea due to Magidor, to find a generic extension in which $\kappa=\aleph_\omega$ and $\lambda=\aleph_{\omega+1}.$

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…

The main result of this paper is to show that for any compact space $X$ and any family $\{f_\alpha \colon \alpha< 2^\kappa, f_\alpha \colon X \stackrel{onto}{\longrightarrow} \beta \kappa\}$ of open mappings there exists a point $x \in X$…
