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…

Let P be the direct product of countably many copies of the additive group Z of integers. We study, from a set-theoretic point of view, those subgroups of P for which all homomorphisms to Z annihilate all but finitely many of the standard…

We introduce new cardinal invariants of a poset, called the comparability number and the incomparability number. We determine their value for well-known posets, such as $\omega^\omega$, $\mathcal{P}(\omega)/\mathrm{fin}$, the Turing degrees…

Let $\kappa$,$\lambda$ be regular uncountable cardinals such that $\lambda > \kappa^+$ is not a successor of a singular cardinal of low cofinality. We construct a generic extension with $s(\kappa) = \lambda$ starting from a ground model in…

This paper deals with variety of problems in pcf theory and infinitary combinatorics. We look at normal filters and prc, measures of the size of [lambda]^{<kappa}, pcf-inaccessibility, entangled orders (and narrow Boolean Algebras),…

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…

In this paper we study the Borel reducibility of Borel equivalence relations, including some orbit equivalence relations, on the generalised Baire space $\kappa^\kappa$ for an uncountable $\kappa$ with the property…

All spaces are assumed to be Tychonoff. Given a realcompact space $X$, we denote by $\mathsf{Exp}(X)$ the smallest infinite cardinal $\kappa$ such that $X$ is homeomorphic to a closed subspace of $\mathbb{R}^\kappa$. Our main result shows…

For a discrete group $G$, we use the natural correspondence between ideals in the Boolean algebra $ \mathcal{P}_G$ of subsets of $G$ and closed subsets in the Stone-$\check{C}$ech compactifi-cation $\beta G$ as a right topological semigroup…

We revisit several results concerning club principles and nonsaturation of the nonstationary ideal, attempting to improve them in various ways. So we typically deal with a (non necessarily normal) ideal $J$ extending the nonstationary ideal…

Every mathematical structure has an elementary extension to a pseudo-countable structure, one that is seen as countable inside a suitable class model of set theory, even though it may actually be uncountable. This observation, proved easily…

We prove two ZFC theorems about cardinal invariants above the continuum which are in sharp contrast to well-known facts about these same invariants at the continuum. It is shown that for an uncountable regular cardinal $\kappa$,…

We prove that consistently there is a singular cardinal $\kappa$ of uncountable cofinality such that $2^\kappa$ is weakly inaccessible, and every regular cardinal strictly between $\kappa$ and $2^\kappa$ is the character of some uniform…

The current paper answers an open question of abs/1007.2426 We say that a countable model M characterizes an infinite cardinal kappa, if the Scott sentence of M has a model in cardinality kappa, but no models in cardinality kappa plus. If M…

Let $\kappa$ be an uncountable cardinal with $\kappa=\kappa^{{<}\kappa}$. Given a cardinal $\mu$, we equip the set ${}^\kappa\mu$ consisting of all functions from $\kappa$ to $\mu$ with the topology whose basic open sets consist of all…

For a cardinal lambda<lambda_{omega_1} we give a ccc forcing notion P which forces that for some Borel subset B of the Cantor space (1) there a sequence (eta_alpha:alpha<lambda) of distinct elements such that |(eta_alpha+B) cap…

Let kappa a regular uncountable cardinal and lambda a cardinal >kappa, and suppose lambda^{<kappa} is less than the covering number for category cov(M_{kappa,kappa}). Then (a) I_{kappa,lambda}^+ -->^kappa (I_{kappa, lambda}^+,omega +1)^2,…

We construct a model of ZFC with a singular cardinal $\kappa$ such that every subset of $\kappa$ in $L(V_{\kappa+1})$ has both the $\kappa$-Perfect Set Property and the $\mathcal{\vec{U}}$-Baire Property. This is a higher analogue of…

Usuba has asked whether the $\kappa$-mantle, the intersection of all grounds that extend to $V$ via a forcing of size ${<}\kappa$, is always a model of ZFC. We give a negative answers by constructing counterexamples where $\kappa$ is a…

We show that all sufficiently nice $\lambda$-sets are countable dense homogeneous ($\mathsf{CDH}$). From this fact we conclude that for every uncountable cardinal $\kappa \le \mathfrak{b}$ there is a countable dense homogeneous metric space…
