We introduce a new parametrized diamond principle denoted $\diamondsuit(\mathsf{LP})$. This principle is akin to the parametrized diamonds of Moore, Hru\v{s}\'ak, and D\v{z}amonja, each of which corresponds to some cardinal invariant of the…
We will present a collection of guessing principles which have a similar relationship to $\diamond$ as cardinal invariants of the continuum have to $\CH$. The purpose is to provide a means for systematically analyzing $\diamond$ and its…
I explore two separate topics: the concept of jointness for set-theoretic guessing principles, and the notion of grounded forcing axioms. A family of guessing sequences is said to be joint if all of its members can guess any given family of…
We generalize the diamond principle and its variants using the notion of stationarity in trees introduced by Brodsky in [Brodsky, A. M., A theory of stationary trees and the balanced Baumgartner--Hajnal--Todorcevic theorem for trees. The…
We define and investigate versions of Silver and Mathias forcing with respect to lower and upper density. We focus on properness, Axiom A, chain conditions, preservation of cardinals and adding Cohen reals. We find rough forcings that…
The concept of jointness for guessing principles, specifically $\diamondsuit_\kappa$ and various Laver diamonds, is introduced. A family of guessing sequences is joint if the elements of any given sequence of targets may be simultaneously…
We consider a cardinal invariant closely related to Hindman's theorem. We prove that this cardinal invariant is small in the iterated Sacks perfect set forcing model, and that its corresponding parametrized diamond principle implies the…
A method of quantizing parametrized systems is developed that is based on a kind of ``gauge invariant'' quantities---the so-called perennials (a perennial must also be an ``integral of motion''). The problem of time in its particular form…
The goal of this note is to provide a geometric setting in which generalized arithmetic means are best predictors in an appropriate metric. This characterization provides a geometric interpretation to the concept of certainty equivalent.…
We isolate \emph{the approximating diamond principles}, which are consequences of the diamond principle at an inaccessible cardinal. We use these principles to find new methods for negating the diamond principle at large cardinals. Most…
In the first part of this paper, we consider several natural axioms in urelement set theory, including the Collection Principle, the Reflection Principle, the Dependent Choice scheme and its generalizations, as well as other axioms…
This paper gives a generic form of the diamond lemma, which includes support for additive and topological structures of the base set, and which does not require any further structure (e.g. an associative multiplication operation) to be…
We investigate the problem of when $\leq\lambda$--support iterations of $<\lambda$--complete notions of forcing preserve $\lambda^+$. We isolate a property -- {\em properness over diamonds} -- that implies $\lambda^+$ is preserved and show…
Our original aim was, in Abelian group theory to prove the consistency of: lambda is strong limit singular and for some properties of abelian groups which are relatives of being free, the compactness in singular fails. In fact this should…
We introduce Strong Measuring, a maximal strengthening of J. T. Moore's Measuring principle, which asserts that every collection of fewer than continuum many closed bounded subsets of $\omega_1$ is measured by some club subset of…
We survey some recent results on the validity of Jensen's diamond principle at successor cardinals. We also discuss weakening of this principle such as club guessing, and anti-diamond principles such as uniformization. A collection of open…
Dai Pra et al studied two notions of monotonicity for continuous-time Markov processes on a finite partially ordered set (poset), and conjectured that monotonicity equivalence holds for a poset of W-glued diamond, and that there is no other…
We study diverse parametrized versions of the operad of associative algebra, where the parameter are taken in an associative semigroup $\Omega$ (generalization of matching or family associative algebras) or in its cartesian square…
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…
In this paper we examine an alternative formulation of the gauge principle in which the emphasis is shifted from the symmetry transformations to their generators. We show that the gauge principle can be entirely reformulated in terms of…
