Much recent work in cardinal characteristics has focused on generalizing results about $\omega$ to uncountable cardinals by studying analogues of classical cardinal characteristics on the generalized Baire and Cantor spaces $\kappa^\kappa$…

We will give an overview of four families of cardinal characteristics defined on subspaces $\prod_{\alpha\in\kappa}b(\alpha)$ of the generalised Baire space ${}^\kappa\kappa$, where $\kappa$ is strongly inaccessible and…

We develop a version of Cichon's diagram for cardinal invariants on the generalized Cantor space 2^kappa or the generalized Baire space kappa^kappa where kappa is an uncountable regular cardinal. For strongly inaccessible kappa, many of the…

We investigate the behavior of cardinal characteristics of the reals under extensions that do not add new ${<}\kappa$-sequences (for some regular $\kappa$). As an application, we show that consistently the following cardinal characteristics…

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]…

Generalizing classical descriptive set theory opens foundational questions about the Borel hierarchy. In this paper we systematically study those questions, working in the general framework of Polish-like spaces relative to an uncountable…

We extend A. Miller's framework of $\alpha$-forcing to the case of a regular uncountable cardinal $\kappa = \kappa^{<\kappa}$ and apply it to study the structure of the $\kappa$-Borel hierarchy on subspaces of the generalized Baire space…

We show that generalized eventually narrow sequences on a strongly inaccessible cardinal $\kappa$ are preserved under the Cummings-Shaleh non-linear iterations of the higher Hechler forcing on $\kappa$. Moreover assuming GCH,…

We study methods to obtain the consistency of forcing axioms, and particularly higher forcing axioms. We first force over a model with a supercompact cardinal $\theta>\kappa$ to get the consistency of the forcing axiom for $\kappa$-strongly…

For a regular uncountable cardinal kappa, we discuss the order relationship between the unbounding and dominating numbers on kappa and cardinal invariants of the higher meager ideal M_kappa. In particular, we obtain a complete…

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 reimplement the creature forcing construction used by Fischer et al. (arXiv:1402.0367) to separate Cicho\'{n}'s diagram into five cardinals as a countable support product. Using the fact that it is of countable support, we augment our…

Given a cofinal cardinal function $h\in{}^\kappa\kappa$ for $\kappa$ inaccessible, we consider the dominating $h$-localisation number, that is, the least cardinality of a dominating set of $h$-slaloms such that every $\kappa$-real is…

Assume $\kappa = \kappa^{< \kappa}$ (usually $\aleph_0$ or an inaccessible). We shall deal with iterated forcings preserving ${}^{\kappa>}{\rm Ord}$ and not collapsing cardinals along a linear order $L$. A sufficient condition for this,…

We continue the study from \cite{BrendleFreidmanMontoya, vandervlugtlocalizationcardinals} of localization cardinals $\mfb_\kappa(\in^*)$ and $\mfd_\kappa(\in^*)$ and their variants at regular uncountable $\kappa$. We prove that if $\kappa$…

We study the values of the higher dimensional cardinal characteristics for sets of functions $f:\omega^\omega \to \omega^\omega$ introduced by the second author. We prove that while the bounding numbers for these cardinals can be strictly…

We show, assuming the consistency of one measurable cardinal, that it is consistent for there to be exactly kappa+ many normal measures on the least measurable cardinal kappa. This answers a question of Stewart Baldwin. The methods…

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 introduce reflection properties of cardinals in which the attributes that reflect are expressible by infinitary formulas whose lengths can be strictly larger than the cardinal under consideration. This kind of generalized reflection…

For any regular cardinal $\kappa$ and ordinal $\eta<\kappa^{++}$ it is consistent that $2^{\kappa}$ is as large as you wish, and every function $f:\eta \to [\kappa,2^{\kappa}]\cap Card$ with $f(\alpha)=\kappa$ for $cf(\alpha)<\kappa$ is the…
