We present a coherent collection of finite mathematical theorems some of which can only be proved by going well beyond the usual axioms for mathematics. The proofs of these theorems illustrate in clear terms how one uses the well studied…
We denote by Conc(A) the semilattice of compact congruences of an algebra A. Given a variety V of algebras, we denote by Conc(V) the class of all semilattices isomorphic to Conc(A) for some A in V. Given varieties V1 and V2 varieties of…
We are interested in examples of a.e.c. with amalgamation having some (extreme) behaviour concerning types. Note we deal with k being sequence-local, i.e. local for increasing chains of length a regular cardinal (for types, equality of all…
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]…
It is consistent with ZF + DC that there exists an ultrafilter $U$ on $\omega$ such that two infinite ultraproducts of finite sets, $\prod A_n / U$ and $\prod B_n / U$, have the same cardinality if and only if $0 < \lim_U |A_n|/|B_n| <…
Let $A$ be a separable simple exact ${\cal Z}$-stable $C^*$-algebra. We show that the unitay group of ${\tilde A}$ has the cancellation property. If $A$ has continuous scale, the Cuntz semigroup of $\tilde A$ has the strict comparison…
Let $\lambda$ and $\kappa$ be cardinal numbers such that $\kappa$ is infinite and either $2\leq \lambda\leq \kappa$, or $\lambda=2^\kappa$. We prove that there exists a lattice $L$ with exactly $\lambda$ many congruences, $2^\kappa$ many…
Questions on class cardinality comparisons are quite tricky to answer and come with its own challenges. They require some kind of reasoning since web documents and knowledge bases, indispensable sources of information, rarely store direct…
This paper defines a Mitchell rank for supercompact cardinals. If $\kappa$ is a $\theta$-supercompact cardinal then $o_{\theta-sc}(\kappa) = \sup \{ o_{\theta-sc}(\mu) + 1 \ | \ \mu \in m(\kappa)\}$, where $m(\kappa)$ is the collection of…
We investigate the possibilities of global versions of Chang's Conjecture that involve singular cardinals. We show some $\mathrm{ZFC}$ limitations on such principles, and prove relative to large cardinals that Chang's Conjecture can…
A stationary subset $S$ of a regular uncountable cardinal $\kappa$ {\it reflects fully} at regular cardinals if for every stationary set $T \subseteq \kappa$ of higher order consisting of regular cardinals there exists an $\alpha \in T$…
Whenever I is a projectively generated projectively defined sigma ideal on the reals, if ZFC+large cardinals proves cov(I)=continuum then ZFC+large cardinals proves non(I)<aleph four.
We point out a gap in Shelah's proof of the following result: $\mathbf{Claim}$ Let $K$ be an abstract elementary class categorical in unboundedly many cardinals. Then there exists a cardinal $\lambda$ such that whenever $M, N \in K$ have…
We further develop a forcing notion known as Coding with Perfect Trees and show that this poset preserves, in a strong sense, definable $P$-points, definable tight MAD families and definable selective independent families. As a result, we…
Mittag-Leffler modules occur naturally in algebra, algebraic geometry, and model theory, [18], [12], [17]. If $R$ is a non-right perfect ring, then it is known that in contrast with the classes of all projective and flat modules, the class…
Given a forcing notion $P$ that forces certain values to several classical cardinal characteristics of the reals, we show how we can compose $P$ with a collapse (of a cardinal $\lambda>\kappa$ to $\kappa$) such that the composition still…
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 A be a topological space which is not finitely generated and CH(A) denote the coreflective hull of A in Top. We construct a generator of the coreflective subcategory SCH(A) consisting of all subspaces of spaces from CH(A) which is a…
We introduce a real-parameter refinement of the classical integer hierarchies underlying Schmidt number, block-positivity, and $k$-positivity for maps between matrix algebras. Starting from a compact family of $\alpha$-admissible unit…
We construct recursion categories from categories of coalgebras. Let $F$ be a nontrivial endofunctor on the category of sets that weakly preserves pullbacks and such that the category $\textbf{Set}_F$ of $F$-coalgebras is complete. The…
