Based on the work of Shelah, Kellner, and T\u{a}nasie (Fund. Math., 166(1-2):109-136, 2000 and Comment. Math. Univ. Carolin., 60(1):61-95, 2019), and the recent developments in the third author's master's thesis, we develop a general theory…
In a self-contained way, we deal with revised countable support iterated forcing for the reals. We improve theorems on preservation of the property UP, weaker than semi proper, and we hopefully improve the presentation. We continue [Sh:b,…
This is a survey on the amalgamated limit, a limit construction for complete Boolean algebras in iterated forcing theory, which generalizes both the direct limit and the two-step amalgamation. We focus in particular on examples of the…
We introduce a forcing technique to construct three-dimensional arrays of generic extensions through FS (finite support) iterations of ccc posets, which we refer to as 3D-coherent systems. We use them to produce models of new constellations…
For $\lambda$ inaccessible, we may consider $(< \lambda)$-support iteration of some specific $(<\lambda)$-complete $\lambda^+$-c.c. forcing notion. But this fails a "preservation by restricting to a sub-sequence of the forcing, we "correct"…
We introduce a new method for building models of CH, together with $\Pi_2$ statements over $H(\omega_2)$, by forcing. Unlike other forcing constructions in the literature, our construction adds new reals, although only $\aleph_1$-many of…
We deal with an iteration theorem of forcing notion with a kind of countable support of nice enough forcing notion which is proper aleph_2-c.c. forcing notions. We then look at some special cases (Q_D 's preceded by random forcing).
The preservation theorems for semi-properness, hemi-properness, and pseudo-completeness hold for countable support iterations as well as revised countable support iterations, notwithstanding the fact that the "factor lemma" fails for the…
This dissertation surveys several topics in the general areas of iterated forcing, infinite combinatorics and set theory of the reals. There are two parts. In the first half I consider alternative versions of the Cicho\'n diagram. First I…
We consider finite iterated generalized harmonic sums weighted by the binomial $\binom{2k}{k}$ in numerators and denominators. A large class of these functions emerges in the calculation of massive Feynman diagrams with local operator…
Iterated loop algebras are by definition obtained by repeatedly applying the loop construction, familiar from the theory of affine Kac-Moody Lie algebras, to a given base algebra. Our interest in this iterated construction is motivated by…
This is an overview about a method of constructing ccc forcings: Suppose first that a continuous, commutative system of complete embeddings between countable forcings indexed along $\omega_1$ is given. Then its direct limit satisfies ccc by…
We introduce the notion of a restricted exchangeable partition of $\mathbb{N}$. We obtain integral representations, consider associated fragmentations, embeddings into continuum random trees and convergence to such limit trees. In…
Shelah shows that certain revised countable support (RCS) iterations do not add reals. His motivation is to establish the independence (relative to large cardinals) of Avraham's problem on the existence of uncountable non-constuctible…
We analyze inexact fixed point iterations where the generating function contains an inexact solve of an equation system to answer the question of how tolerances for the inner solves influence the iteration error of the outer fixed point…
The problem of determining the (least) fixpoint of (higher-dimensional) functions over the non-negative reals frequently occurs when dealing with systems endowed with a quantitative semantics. We focus on the situation in which the…
Using a finite support iteration of ccc forcings, we construct a model of $\aleph_1<\mathrm{add}(\mathcal{N})<\mathrm{cov}(\mathcal{N})<\mathfrak{b}<\mathrm{non}(\mathcal{M})<\mathrm{cov}(\mathcal{M})=\mathfrak{c}$.
This paper, dating from May 1991, contains preliminary (and unpublishable) notes on investigations about iteration trees. They will be of interest only to the specialist. In the first two sections I define notions of support and embeddings…
In this paper, we reformulate the definition of the iterated function systems (denoted by general IFSs in this paper) and show the existence and uniqueness (in some sense) of the limit sets generated by the general IFSs, to unify the…
We develop a unified framework for iterated symmetric extensions with countable support and, more generally, with $<\kappa$-support. Set-length iterations are treated uniformly, and when the iteration template is first-order definable over…
