In 1988, Sibe Marde\v{s}i\'{c} and Andrei Prasolov isolated an inverse system $\mathbf{A}$ with the property that the additivity of strong homology on any class of spaces which includes the closed subsets of Euclidean space would entail…
We show that it is consistent relative to a weakly compact cardinal that strong homology is additive and compactly supported within the class of locally compact separable metric spaces. This complements work of Marde\v{s}i\'{c} and Prasolov…
In the study of strong homology Marde\v{s}i\'c and Prasolov isolated a certain inverse system of abelian groups $\mathbf A$ indexed by elements of $\omega^\omega$. They showed that if strong homology is additive on a class of spaces…
A question dating to Sibe Marde\v{s}i\'{c} and Andrei Prasolov's 1988 work Strong homology is not additive, and motivating a considerable amount of set theoretic work in the ensuing years, is that of whether it is consistent with the ZFC…
Denote by $\mathcal{A}(\kappa)$ the set of all compact Alexandrov surfaces with curvature bounded below by $\kappa$ without boundary, endowed with the topology induced by the Gromov-Hausdorff metric. We determine the connected components of…
We consider the question of the additivity of strong homology. This entails isolating the set-theoretic content of the higher derived limits of an inverse system indexed by the functions from $\mathbb{N}$ to $\mathbb{N}$. We show that this…
We study in detail the so-called Chow-weight homology of Voevodsky motivic complexes and relate it to motivic homology. We generalize earlier results and prove that the vanishing of higher motivic homology groups of a motif $M$ implies…
For infinite cardinals $\kappa,\lambda$ let $C(\kappa,\lambda)$ denote the class of all compact Hausdorff spaces of weight $\kappa$ and size $\lambda$. So $C(\kappa,\lambda)=\emptyset$ if $\kappa>\lambda$ or $\lambda>2^\kappa$. If F is a…
If $X$ is a topological space and $\kappa$ is a cardinal then $\mathsf{BA}_\kappa (X)$ is the statement that for each pair $A, B \subseteq X$ of $\kappa$-dense subsets there is an autohomeomorphism $h:X \to X$ mapping $A$ to $B$. In…
This paper makes significant progress towards resolving a conjecture relating strong forcing axioms like $PFA$ and the derived model at a limit of Woodin cardinals $\kappa$. In particular, using a concept called Covering Matrices, we show…
We show that an embedding of a fixed 0-dimensional compact space $K$ into the \v{C}ech--Stone remainder $\omega^*$ as a nowhere dense P-set is the unique generic limit, a special object in the category consisting of all continuous maps from…
The contracting boundary of a proper geodesic metric space generalizes the Gromov boundary of a hyperbolic space. It consists of contracting geodesics up to bounded Hausdorff distances. Another generalization of the Gromov boundary is the…
We first prove a version of Tietze-Urysohn's theorem for proper functions taking values in non-negative real numbers defined on $\sigma$-compact locally compact Hausdorff spaces. As its application, we prove an extension theorem of proper…
We show that, in the model constructed by adding sufficiently many Cohen reals, derived limits are additive on a large class of systems. This generalizes the work of Jeffrey Bergfalk, Michael Hru\v s\'ak, and Chris Lambie-Hanson which…
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…
Let $A$ and $C$ be two unital simple C*-algebas with tracial rank zero. Suppose that $C$ is amenable and satisfies the Universal Coefficient Theorem. Denote by ${{KK}}_e(C,A)^{++}$ the set of those $\kappa$ for which…
In this paper, we prove that if $\kappa$ is a almost strongly compact cardinal, then any MAEC with L\"owenheim-Skolem number below $\kappa$ is $<\kappa$-d-tame.
We propose a homology theory for locally compact spaces with ends in which the ends play a special role. The approach is motivated by results for graphs with ends, where it has been highly successful. But it was unclear how the original…
With a new proof approach we prove in a more general setting the classical convergence theorem that almost everywhere convergence of measurable functions on a finite measure space implies convergence in measure. Specifically, we generalize…
We derive the cubic defocusing GP hierarchy in ${\mathbb R}^3$ from a bosonic $N$-particle Schr\"odinger equation as $N\rightarrow\infty$, in the strong topology corresponding to the space ${\mathcal H}_\xi^1$ introduced in \cite{chpa}. In…
