$\Sigma^1_3$-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…

We show that it is consistent relative to a huge cardinal that for all infinite cardinals $\kappa$, $\square_\kappa$ holds and there is a stationary $S \subseteq \kappa^+$ such that $\mathrm{NS}_{\kappa^+} \restriction S$ is…

We provide analogues of the results from [FMR11, CMMR13] in the reference list (which correspond to the case $\kappa = \omega$) for arbitrary $\kappa$-Souslin quasi-orders on any Polish space, for $\kappa$ an infinite cardinal smaller than…

This paper continues a line of investigation of the Halpern--L\"{a}uchli Theorem at uncountable cardinals. We prove in ZFC that the Halpern--L\"{a}uchli Theorem for one tree of height $\kappa$ holds whenever $\kappa$ is strongly…

We prove a new integrability principle for gradient variational problems in $\mathbb{R}^2$, showing that solutions are explicitly parameterized by $\kappa$-harmonic functions, that is, functions which are harmonic for the laplacian with…

We show that for any regular cardinal $\kappa$, $\square_{\kappa, 2}$ is consistent with "all $\kappa^+$-Aronszajn trees are special." By a result of Shelah and Stanley this is optimal in the sense that $\square_{\kappa, 2}$ may not be…

The cardinal direction calculus (CDC) proposed by Goyal and Egenhofer is a very expressive qualitative calculus for directional information of extended objects. Early work has shown that consistency checking of complete networks of basic…

Jech proved that every partially ordered set can be embedded into the cardinals of some model of $ZF$. We extend this result to show that every partially ordered set can be embedded into the cardinals of some model of $ZF+DC_{<\kappa}$ for…

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…

Smallish large cardinals $\kappa$ are often characterized by the existence of a collection of filters on $\kappa$, each of which is an ultrafilter on the subsets of $\kappa$ of some transitive $\mathrm{ZFC}^-$-model of size $ \kappa$. We…

This work incorporates topological features via persistence diagrams to classify point cloud data arising from materials science. Persistence diagrams are multisets summarizing the connectedness and holes of given data. A new distance on…

We show that certain type of tree forcings, including Sacks forcing, increases the covering of the strong measure zero ideal $\mathcal{SN}$. As a consequence, in Sacks model, such covering number is equal to the size of the continuum, which…

In a previous paper, the second named author obtains a decomposition of an elliptic higher Deligne-Lusztig representation into irreducible summands, which are built in the same way as Yu types using a geometric analog $\kappa'$ of the…

Using matrix iterations of ccc posets, we prove the consistency with ZFC of some cases where the cardinals on the right hand side of Cichon's diagram take two or three arbitrary values (two regular values, the third one with uncountable…

In this paper, we demonstrate that if, for every $\kappa$-complete fine filter $F$ over $\mathcal{P}_{\kappa}\lambda$, the associated Namba forcing $\mathrm{Nm}(\kappa,\lambda,F)$ is semiproper, then $\square(\mu,{<}\aleph_1)$ fails for all…

We obtain a partial result on the following conjecture. Conjecture. Let (P, {\Sigma}) be a projectum stable mouse pair, and let \kappa be a cardinal of V such that \kappa < o(M_\infty(P, {\Sigma})); then the following are equivalent: (1)…

We investigate the interaction between compactness principles and guessing principles in the Radin forcing extensions. In particular, we show that in any Radin forcing extension with respect to a measure sequence on $\kappa$, if $\kappa$ is…

In the context of a tower of (strongly Birkhoff) Galois structures in the sense of categorical Galois theory, we show that the concept of a higher covering admits a characterisation which is at the same time absolute (with respect to the…

This is a paper that aims to interpret the cardinality of a set in terms of Baire Category, i.e. how many closed nowhere dense sets can be deleted from a set before the set itself becomes negligible. . To do this natural tree-theoretic…

W.H. Woodin showed that if $\kappa_1 < \cdots < \kappa_n$ are strong cardinals then two-step ${\bf\Sigma}^1_{n+3}$ generic absoluteness holds after collapsing $2^{2^{\kappa_n}}$ to be countable. We show that this number can be reduced to…
