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 introduce a category whose objects are stationary set preserving complete boolean algebras and whose arrows are complete homomorphisms with a stationary set preserving quotient. We show that the cut of this category at a rank initial…

We study abstract versions of G\"odel's second incompleteness theorem and formulate generalizations of L\"ob's derivability conditions that work for logics weaker than the classical one. We isolate the role of contraction rule in G\"odel's…

A central topic in mathematical logic is the classification of theorems from mathematics in hierarchies according to their logical strength. Ideally, the place of a theorem in a hierarchy does not depend on the representation (aka coding)…

We present constructive provability logic, an intuitionstic modal logic that validates the L\"ob rule of G\"odel and L\"ob's provability logic by permitting logical reflection over provability. Two distinct variants of this logic, CPL and…

We continue the work of [1, 2, 3] by analyzing the equivalence relation of bi-embeddability on various classes of countable planes, most notably the class of countable non-Desarguesian projective planes. We use constructions of the second…

Continuing the previous paper, we study the Strong Downward L\"owenheim-Skolem Theorems (SDLSs) of the stationary logic and their variations. It has been shown that the SDLS for the ordinary stationary logic with weak second-order…

Generalizing standard monadic second-order logic for Kripke models, we introduce monadic second-order logic interpreted over coalgebras for an arbitrary set functor. We then consider invariance under behavioral equivalence of MSO-formulas.…

Let $F_{\omega_1}$ be the countable admissible ordinal equivalence relation defined on ${}^\omega 2$ by $x \ F_{\omega_1} \ y$ if and only if $\omega_1^x = \omega_1^y$. It will be shown that $F_{\omega_1}$ is classifiable by countable…

We show that Weak Vop\v{e}nka's Principle, which is the statement that the opposite category of ordinals cannot be fully embedded into the category of graphs, is equivalent to the large cardinal principle Ord is Woodin, which says that for…

This is an introductory paper to a series of results linking generic absoluteness results for second and third order number theory to the model theoretic notion of model companionship. Specifically we develop here a general framework…

We prove that the class of all ordinals Ord is not weakly compact with respect to definable classes. Specifically, in any model of ZFC, the definable tree property fails for Ord, in that there is a definable Ord tree with no definable…

Louveau and Rosendal [5] have shown that the relation of bi-embeddability for countable graphs as well as for many other natural classes of countable structures is complete under Borel reducibility for analytic equivalence relations. This…

We prove that the positive fragment of first-order intuitionistic logic in the language with two variables and a single monadic predicate letter, without constants and equality, is undecidable. This holds true regardless of whether we…

For an ordinal $\lambda>0$, we use the Erd\H{o}s--Rado partition theorem to prove the failure of strong completeness of $\mathsf{GL}$ for modal languages of cardinality $(2^{|\lambda|+\aleph_0})^{+}$ with respect to models on ordinals…

Assuming G\"odel's axiom of constructibility $V=L$, we construct a $\chi$-free abelian group $G$ of singular cardinality for some suitable cardinal $\chi$ which is regular and uncountable, equipped with the property that for every…

We study two extensions of FO2[<], first-order logic interpreted in finite words, in which formulas are restricted to use only two variables. We adjoin to this language two-variable atomic formulas that say, "the letter $a$ appears between…

We consider two-variable first-order logic FO2 over infinite words. Restricting the number of nested negations defines an infinite hierarchy; its levels are often called the half-levels of the FO2 quantifier alternation hierarchy. For every…

The Caus[-] construction takes a compact closed category of basic processes and yields a *-autonomous category of higher-order processes obeying certain signalling/causality constraints, as dictated by the type system in the resulting…

In this paper we consider an approach where both propositions and the accessibility relation are infinitely many-valued over G\"{o}del algebras. In particular, we consider separately the $\Box $-fragment and the $\Diamond $-fragment of our…
