In this paper we are interested in finding and evaluating cardinal characteristics of the continuum that appear in large-scale topology, usually as the smallest weights of coarse structures that belong to certain classes (indiscrete,…
Strongly bounded groups are those groups for which every action by isometries on a metric space has orbits of finite diameter. Many groups have been shown to have this property, and all the known infinite examples so far have cardinality at…
In Grayson's combinatorial description of higher K-groups, the generators are bounded acyclic binary multi-complexes of arbitrary size. Generalising work by Kasprowski, Winges and the author, we show in this paper that multi-complexes of…
Cicho\'n's diagram describes the connections between combinatorial notions related to measure, category, and compactness of sets of irrational numbers. In the second part of the 2010's, Goldstern, Kellner and Shelah constructed a forcing…
We begin with the existence of groups with trivial duals for cardinals aleph_n (n in omega). Then we derive results about strongly aleph_n-free abelian groups of cardinality aleph_n (n in omega) with prescribed free, countable endomorphism…
Let lambda be aleph_0 or a strong limit of cofinality aleph_0. Suppose that (G_m,p_{m,n}:m =< n<omega) and (H_m,p^t_{m,n}: m=< n < omega) are projective systems of groups of cardinality less than lambda and suppose that for every n<omega…
Searches for Dark Matter at the LHC are commonly described in terms of simplified models with scalar, pseudo-scalar, vector and axial-vector mediators. In this work we explore the constraints imposed on such models from the observed Dark…
We produce a model where every supercompact cardinal is $C^{(1)}$-supercompact with inaccessible targets. This is a significant improvement of the main identity-crises configuration obtained in \cite{HMP} and provides a definitive answer to…
Suppose that there is a measurable cardinal. If \aleph_\omega is a strong limit cardinal, but the power of \aleph_\omega is bigger than \aleph_{\omega_1}, then there is an inner model with a Woodin cardinal. Modulo the need of the…
We discuss how singular can cardinals be in absence of the axiom of choice. We show that, contrasting with known negative consistency results (of Gitik and others), certain positive results are provable. Then we pose some problems.
We analyze several ``strong meager'' properties for filters on the natural numbers between the classical Baire property and a filter being $F_\sigma$. Two such properties have been studied by Talagrand and a few more combinatorial ones are…
In this paper we study special representations of finite-dimensional Jordan algebra $J$ whose $Rad^2 J=0$. For each Jordan algebra $J$ of this class we consider its Tits-Kantor-Koecher construction $TKK(J)$ and then associate to the latter…
We show that many large cardinal notions up to measurability can be characterized through the existence of certain filters for small models of set theory. This correspondence will allow us to obtain a canonical way in which to assign ideals…
In this paper, we study the class of Jordan dialgebras. We develop an approach for reducing problems on dialgebras to the case of ordinary algebras. It is shown that straightforward generalizations of the classical Cohn's, Shirshov's, and…
In this paper, we characterize the possible cofinalities of the least $\lambda$-strongly compact cardinal. We show that, on the one hand, for any regular cardinal, $\delta$, that carries a $\lambda$-complete uniform ultrafilter, it is…
An infinite cardinal $\lambda$ is called Fr\'echet if the Fr\'echet filter on $\lambda$ extends to a countably complete ultrafilter. We investigate the relationship between Fr\'echet cardinals and strongly compact cardinals under a…
We survey optimization problems that involve the cardinality of variable vectors in constraints or the objective function. We provide a unified viewpoint on the general problem classes and models, and give concrete examples from diverse…
We investigate which filters on $\omega$ can contain towers, that is, a modulo finite descending sequence without any pseudointersection (in $[\omega]^\omega$). We prove the following results: - Many classical examples of nice tall filters…
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…
Suppose there is a Reinhardt cardinal. Then (1) $M_n(X)$ exists and is fully iterable (above $X$) for every transitive set $X$ and every $n<\omega$ (here $M_n(X)$ denotes the canonical minimal proper class inner model containing $X$ and…
