We unveil new patterns of Structural Reflection in the large-cardinal hierarchy below the first measurable cardinal. Namely, we give two different characterizations of strongly unfoldable and subtle cardinals in terms of a weak form of the…

Suppose $\kappa$ is $\lambda$-supercompact witnessed by an elementary embedding $j:V\rightarrow M$ with critical point $\kappa$, and further suppose that $F$ is a function from the class of regular cardinals to the class of cardinals…

Let GCH hold and let $j:V\longrightarrow M$ be a definable elementary embedding such that $crit(j)=\kappa$, $^{\kappa}M\subseteq M$ and $\kappa^{++}=\kappa_{M}^{++}$. H. Woodin proved that there is a cofinality preserving generic extension…

We obtain results on the condensation principle called local club condensation. We prove that in extender models an equivalence between the failure of local club condensation and subcompact cardinals holds. This gives a characterization of…

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 strongly inacessible cardinal $\kappa$, we investigate the relationships between the following ideals: - the ideal of meager sets in the ${<}\kappa$-box product topology - the ideal of "null" sets in the sense of [Sh:1004]…

In this paper we analyze the connection between some properties of partially strongly compact cardinals: the completion of filters of certain size and instances of the compactness of $\mathcal{L}_{\kappa,\kappa}$. Using this equivalence we…

The weakly compact reflection principle $\text{Refl}_{\text{wc}}(\kappa)$ states that $\kappa$ is a weakly compact cardinal and every weakly compact subset of $\kappa$ has a weakly compact proper initial segment. The weakly compact…

Assuming 0^sharp does not exist, kappa is an uncountable cardinal and for all cardinals lambda with kappa <= lambda < kappa^{+ omega}, 2^lambda = lambda^+, we present a ``mini-coding'' between kappa and kappa^{+ omega}. This allows us to…

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 consider, for infinite cardinals kappa and alpha <= kappa^+, the group Pi(kappa,< alpha) of sequences of integers, of length kappa, with non-zero entries in fewer than alpha positions. Our main result tells when Pi(kappa,< alpha) can be…

We consider compactness characterizations of large cardinals. Based on results of Benda \cite{b-sccomp}, we study compactness for omitting types in various logics. In $\bL_{\kappa, \kappa}$, this allows us to characterize any large cardinal…

We show that it is possible to add $\kappa^+-$Cohen subsets to $\kappa$ with a Prikry forcing over $\kappa$. This answers a question from \cite{HayutBenhanouGitik}. A strengthening of non-Galvin property is introduced. It is shown to be…

We determine the large cardinal consistency strength of the existence of a $\lambda$-supercompact cardinal $\kappa$ such that GCH fails at $\lambda$. Indeed, we show that the existence of a $\lambda$-supercompact cardinal $\kappa$ such that…

We show that if the existence of a supercompact cardinal $\kappa$ with a weakly compact cardinal $\lambda$ above $\kappa$ is consistent, then the following are consistent as well (where $\mathfrak{t}(\kappa)$ and $\mathfrak{u}(\kappa)$ are…

For a topological space $X$ its reflection in a class $\mathsf T$ of topological spaces is a pair $(\mathsf T X,i_X)$ consisting of a space $\mathsf T X\in\mathsf T$ and continuous map $i_X:X\to \mathsf T X$ such that for any continuous map…

For each natural number $n$, let $C^{(n)}$ be the closed and unbounded proper class of ordinals $\alpha$ such that $V_\alpha$ is a $\Sigma_n$ elementary substructure of $V$. We say that $\kappa$ is a \emph{$C^{(n)}$-cardinal} if it is the…

We study functions of least gradient as well as related superminimizers and solutions of obstacle problems in metric spaces that are equipped with a doubling measure and support a Poincar\'e inequality. We show a standard weak Harnack…

Assuming the existence of a strong cardinal $\kappa$ and a measurable cardinal above it, we force a generic extension in which $\kappa$ is a singular strong limit cardinal of any prescribed cofinality, and such that the tree property holds…

Let kappa be the limit of <kappa_n : n<omega> (1) if each kappa_n carries an extender of the length of the first Mahlo above kappa_n, then for every ld above kappa there is a generic extension with power of kappa above ld. (2) if each…
