Using an iterative tree construction we show that for simple computable subsets of the Cantor space Hausdorff, constructive and computable dimensions might be incomputable.

Given a countable transitive model $M$ for ZFC+CH, we prove that one can produce a maximal almost disjoint family in $M$ whose Vietoris Hyperspace of its Isbell-Mr\'owka space is pseudocompact on every Cohen extension of $M$. We also show…

Let $M$ be a tame mouse modelling ZFC. We show that $M$ satisfies "$V=\mathrm{HOD}_x$ for some real $x$", and that the restriction $\mathbb{E}\upharpoonright[\omega_1^M,\mathrm{OR}^M)$ of the extender sequence $\mathbb{E}^M$ of $M$ to…

We construct a model of the form $L[A,U]$ that exhibits the simplest structural behavior of $\sigma$-complete ultrafilters in a model of set theory with a single measurable cardinal $\kappa$ , yet satisfies $2^\kappa = \kappa^{++}$. This…

Let chi be the minimum cardinal of a subset of 2^omega that cannot be made convergent by multiplication with a single Toeplitz matrix. By an application of creature forcing we show that s<chi is consistent. We thus answer a question by…

For which (first-order complete, usually countable) $T$ do there exist non-isomorphic models of $T$ which become isomorphic after forcing with a forcing notion $\mathbb{P}$? Necessarily, $\mathbb{P}$ is non-trivial; i.e.~it adds some new…

Starting with two supercompact cardinals we produce a generic extension of the universe in which a principle that we call ${\rm GM}^+(\omega_3,\omega_1)$ holds. This principle implies ${\rm ISP}(\omega_2)$ and ${\rm ISP}(\omega_3)$, and…

We construct the Lafforgue variety, an affine scheme equipped with an open dense subscheme parametrizing the simple modules of a non-commutative unital algebra $R$ over any field $k$, provided that the center $Z(R)$ is finitely generated…

Every irreducible odd dimensional representation of the $n$'th symmetric or hyperoctahedral group, when restricted to the $(n-1)$'th, has a unique irreducible odd-dimensional constituent. Furthermore, the subgraph induced by odd-dimensional…

We prove that for each locally $\alpha$-presentable category $\mathcal K$ there exists a regular cardinal $\gamma$ such that any $\alpha$-accessible functor out of $\mathcal K$ (into another locally $\alpha$-presentable category) is…

Motivated by recent work of Boney, Dimopoulos, Gitman and Magidor, we characterize the existence of weak compactness cardinals for all abstract logics through combinatorial properties of the class of ordinals. This analysis is then used to…

If M is a proper class inner model of ZFC and omega_2^M=omega_2, then every sound mouse projecting to omega and not past 0-pistol belongs to M. In fact, under the assumption that 0-pistol does not belong to M, K^M \| omega_2 is universal…

We consider the finitely generated groups acting on a regular tree with almost prescribed local action. We show that these groups embed as cocompact irreducible lattices in some locally compact wreath products. This provides examples of…

Recollements of derived module categories are investigated, using a new technique, ladders of recollements, which are mutation sequences. The position in the ladder is shown to control whether a recollement restricts from unbounded to…

Let $E$ be a number field and $X$ a smooth geometrically connected variety defined over a characteristic $p$ finite field. Given an $n$-dimensional pure $E$-compatible system of semisimple $\lambda$-adic representations of the \'etale…

Assume ZF + AD + V=L(R). Let $[\alpha,\beta]$ be a $\Sigma_1$ gap with $J_\alpha(R)$ admissible. We analyze $J_\beta(R)$ as a natural form of "derived model" of a premouse $P$, where $P$ is found in a generic extension of $V$. In…

We construct examples of finitely generated groups L that have non-trivial actions on $\mathbb{R}$-trees but which cannot act, without fixing a vertex, on any simplicial tree. Moreover, any finitely presented group mapping onto L does have…

We study the action of groups generated by bounded activity automata with infinite alphabets on their orbital Schreier graphs. We introduce an amenability criterion for such groups based on the recurrence of the first level action. This…

Given a simple vertex algebra A and a reductive group G of automorphisms of A, the invariant subalgebra A^G is strongly finitely generated in most examples where its structure is known. This phenomenon is subtle, and is generally not true…

We present a class forcing notion $\mathbb M(\eta)$, uniformly definable for ordinals $\eta$, which forces the ground model to be the $\eta$-th inner mantle of the extension, in which the sequence of inner mantles has length at least…
