From many supercompact cardinals, we show that it is consistent for the tree property to hold at many small successors of singular cardinals, each with a different cofinality. In particular, we construct a model in which the tree property…

In this paper and a companion paper, we prove that, if $m$ is sufficiently large, every graph on $m+1$ vertices that has a universal vertex and minimum degree at least $\lfloor \frac{2m}{3} \rfloor$ contains each tree $T$ with $m$ edges as…

A classical conjecture of Erd\H{o}s and S\'os asks to determine the Tur\'an number of a tree. We consider variants of this problem in the settings of hypergraphs and multi-hypergraphs. In particular, for all $k$ and $r$, with $r \ge k…

Assuming the existence of a Mahlo cardinal, we construct a model in which there exists an $\omega_2$-Aronszajn tree, the $\omega_1$-approachability property fails, and every stationary subset of $\omega_2 \cap \mathrm{cof}(\omega)$…

We prove that a strong version of Chang's Conjecture, equivalent to the Weak Reflection Principle at $\omega_2$, together with $2^\omega=\omega_2$, imply there are no $\omega_2$-Aronszajn trees.

Let $T$ be a tree on $t$ vertices. We prove that for every positive integer $k$ and every graph $G$, either $G$ contains $k$ pairwise vertex-disjoint subgraphs each having a $T$ minor, or there exists a set $X$ of at most $t(k-1)$ vertices…

For any $2 \le n < \omega$, we introduce a forcing poset using generalized promises which adds a normal $n$-splitting subtree to a $(\ge \! n)$-splitting normal Aronszajn tree. Using this forcing poset, we prove several consistency results…

We study the relationship between a $\kappa$-Souslin tree $T$ and its reduced powers $T^\theta/\mathcal U$. Previous works addressed this problem from the viewpoint of a single power $\theta$, whereas here, tools are developed for…

We prove that the complement of a $\sigma$-compact subset of a topological space that has a $\pi$-tree also has a $\pi$-tree. To do this, we construct the foliage hybrid operation, which deals with foliage trees (that is, set-theoretic…

We give two consistent constructions of trees $T$ whose finite power $T^{n+1}$ is sharply different from $T^n$: 1. An $\aleph_1$-tree $T$ whose interval topology $X_T$ is perfectly normal, but $(X_T)^2$ is not even countably metacompact. 2.…

The Erd\H{o}s-S\'os Conjecture states that every graph with average degree exceeding $k-1$ contains every tree with $k$ edges as a subgraph. We prove that there are $\delta>0$ and $k_0\in\mathbb N$ such that the conjecture holds for every…

Let $f\colon X\to Y$ be a perfect map between finite-dimensional metrizable spaces and $p\geq 1$. It is shown that the space $C^*(X,\R^p)$ of all bounded maps from $X$ into $\R^p$ with the source limitation topology contains a dense…

Two graphs are of the same topological type if they can be mutually embedded into each other topologically. We show that there are exactly $\aleph_1$ distinct topological types of countable trees. In general, for any infinite cardinal…

Let $G$ be a countable branch group of automorphisms of a spherically homogeneous rooted tree. Under some assumption on finitarity of $G$, we construct, for each sequence $\omega\in\{0,1\}^\Bbb N$, an irreducible unitary representation…

We prove the consistency, assuming an ineffable cardinal, that any two normal countably closed $\omega_2$-Aronszajn trees are club isomorphic. This work generalizes to higher cardinals the property of Abraham-Shelah that any two normal…

Assuming the existence of a strong cardinal $\kappa$ and a measurable cardinal above it, we force a generic extension in which $\kappa$ is a singular strong limit cardinal of any prescribed cofinality, and such that the tree property holds…

A topological gyrogroup is a gyrogroup endowed with a topology such that the binary operation is jointly continuous and the inverse mapping is also continuous. In this paper, it is proved that if $G$ is a sequential topological gyrogroup…

For uncountable downwards closed subtrees $U$ and $W$ of an $\omega_1$-tree $T$, we say that $U$ and $W$ are strongly almost disjoint if their intersection is a finite union of countable chains. The tree $T$ is strongly non-saturated if…

We prove that for fixed $k$, every $k$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices and of minimum codegree at least $n/2+o(n)$ contains every spanning tight $k$-tree of bounded vertex degree as a sub\-graph. This generalises a well-known result of…

Assuming the consistency of a weakly compact cardinal above a regular uncountable cardinal $\mu$, we prove the consistency of the existence of a wide $\mu^+$-Aronszajn tree, i.e. a tree of height and cardinality $\mu^+$ with no branches of…
