We prove the consistency of a singular cardinal $\lambda$ with small value of the ultrafilter number $u_\lambda$, and arbitrarily large value of $2^\lambda$.

A stationary subset S of a regular uncountable cardinal kappa 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 such that S cap alpha…

In this article we proved so-called strong reflection principles corresponding to formal theories Th which has omega-models. An posible generalization of the Lob's theorem is considered.Main results is: (1) let $k$ be an inaccessible…

Let $\lambda_{1},\ldots,\lambda_{n}$ be real numbers in $(0,1)$ and $p_{1},\ldots,p_{n}$ be points in $\mathbb{R}^{d}$. Consider the collection of maps $f_{j}:\mathbb{R}^{d}\to\mathbb{R}^{d} $ given by $$f_{j}(x)=\lambda_{j} x…

We give another proof that for every lambda >= beth_omega for every large enough regular kappa < beth_omega we have lambda^{[kappa]}= lambda, dealing with sufficient conditions for replacing beth_omega by aleph_omega. In section 2 we show…

We try to build, provably in ZFC, for a first order T a model in which any isomorphism between two Boolean algebras is definable. The problem, compared to [Sh:384], is with pseudo-finite Boolean algebras. A side benefit is that we do not…

We present two different types of models where, for certain singular cardinals lambda of uncountable cofinality, lambda -> (lambda, omega+1)^2, although lambda is not a strong limit cardinal. We announce, here, and will present in a…

We study the relations between a generalization of pseudocompactness, named $(\kappa, M)$-pseudocompactness, the countably compactness of subspaces of $\beta \omega$ and the pseudocompactness of their hyperspaces. We show, by assuming the…

We study the approachability ideal I[\kappa^+] in the context of large cardinals properties of the regular cardinals below a singular \kappa. As a guiding example consider the approachability ideal I[\aleph_{\omega+1}] assuming that…

The $\kappa$-density of a cardinal $\mu\ge\kappa$ is the least cardinality of a dense collection of $\kappa$-subsets of $\mu$ and is denoted by $\mathcal D(\mu,\kappa)$. The Singular Density Hypothesis (SDH) for a singular cardinal $\mu$ of…

Given two infinite cardinals $\kappa$ and $\lambda$, we introduce and study the notion of a $\kappa$-barely independent family over $\lambda.$ We provide some conditions under which these types of families exist. In particular, we relate…

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…

The additivity spectrum ADD(I) of an ideal I is the set of all regular cardinals kappa such that there is an increasing chain {A_alpha:alpha<kappa\} in the ideal I such that the union of the chain is not in I. We investigate which set A of…

We show that if the weak compactness of a cardinal is made indestructible by means of any preparatory forcing of a certain general type, including any forcing naively resembling the Laver preparation, then the cardinal was originally…

A set A of natural numbers is finitely embeddable in another such set B if every finite subset of A has a rightward translate that is a subset of B. This notion of finite embeddability arose in combinatorial number theory, but in this paper…

We prove that if $p$ is a selective ultrafilter then ${\mathbb Q}^{(\kappa)}$ has a $p$-compact group topology without non-trivial convergent sequences, for each infinite cardinal $\kappa =\kappa^\omega$. In particular, this gives the first…

$\Sigma^1_3$-absoluteness for ccc forcing means that for any ccc forcing $P$, ${H_{\omega_1}}^V \prec_{\Sigma_2}{H_{\omega_1}}^{V^P}$. "$\omega_1$ inaccessible to reals" means that for any real $r$, ${\omega_1}^{L[r]}<\omega_1$. To measure…

If cf(kappa) = kappa, kappa^+< cf(lambda) = \lambda, then there is a stationary subset S of {delta<lambda:cf(delta)=kappa} in I[lambda]. Moreover, we can find <C_delta :delta in S>, C_delta a club of lambda, otp(C_delta)=kappa, guessing…

We investigate, in ZFC, the behavior of abstract elementary classes (AECs) categorical in many successive small cardinals. We prove for example that a universal $\mathbb{L}_{\omega_1, \omega}$ sentence categorical on an end segment of…

Given an uncountable cardinal $\kappa$, we consider the question of whether subsets of the power set of $\kappa$ that are usually constructed with the help of the Axiom of Choice are definable by $\Sigma_1$-formulas that only use the…
