We show that the tree property, stationary reflection and the failure of approachability at $\kappa^{++}$ are consistent with $\mathfrak{u}(\kappa) = \kappa^+ < 2^\kappa$, where $\kappa$ is a singular strong limit cardinal with the…

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…

We prove several theorems on sigma-bounded and sigma-compact pointsets. We start with a known theorem by Kechris, saying that any lightface \Sigma^1_1 set of the Baire space either is effectively sigma-bounded (that is, covered by a…

Building on work of Holy, L\"ucke and Njegomir \cite{MR3913154} on small embedding characterizations of large cardinals, we use some classical results of Baumgartner (see \cite{MR0384553} and \cite{MR0540770}), to give characterizations of…

This note, mostly expository, is devoted to Poincar{\'e} and log-Sobolev inequalities for a class of Boltzmann-Gibbs measures with singular interaction. Such measures allow to model one-dimensional particles with confinement and singular…

In this note, we point out that infinite-volume Gibbs measures of spin glass models on the hypercube can be identified as random probability measures on the unit ball of a Hilbert space. This simple observation follows from a result of…

Generalizing some earlier techniques due to the second author, we show that Menas' theorem which states that the least cardinal kappa which is a measurable limit of supercompact or strongly compact cardinals is strongly compact but not…

We show that from a supercompact cardinal \kappa, there is a forcing extension V[G] that has a symmetric inner model N in which ZF + not AC holds, \kappa\ and \kappa^+ are both singular, and the continuum function at \kappa\ can be…

We define separating properties for normal ultrafilters. We prove that compactness and supercompactness are separable, yet compactness and measurability are not. We describe how to use separating properties in order to elicit distinct…

We begin the study of the consequences of the existence of certain infinite matrices. Our present application is to compactness of products of topological spaces.

We extend the Daugavet property and a perfect version of it to transfinite cardinals in order to distinguish between spaces with the ordinary Daugavet property by some kind of complexity (topological, density\ldots), providing a number of…

Assuming $\kappa$ is a supercompact cardinal and $\lambda$ is an inaccessible cardinal above it, we present an idea due to Magidor, to find a generic extension in which $\kappa=\aleph_\omega$ and $\lambda=\aleph_{\omega+1}.$

The authors show, by means of a finitary version square^{fin}_{lambda,D} of the combinatorial principle square^{b^*}_{lambda}, the consistency of the failure, relative to the consistency of supercompact cardinals, of the following: for all…

We show that it is possible to add $\kappa^+-$Cohen subsets to $\kappa$ with a Prikry forcing over $\kappa$. This answers a question from \cite{HayutBenhanouGitik}. A strengthening of non-Galvin property is introduced. It is shown to be…

Assuming the existence of a strong cardinal $\kappa$, a weakly compact cardinal $\lambda$ above it and $\gamma > \lambda,$ we force a generic extension in which $\kappa$ is a singular strong limit cardinal of any given cofinality $\delta$,…

In the first part of the paper, we show that if $\omega \le \kappa < \lambda$ are cardinals, $\kappa^{<\kappa} = \kappa$, and $\lambda$ is weakly compact, then in $V[\M(\kappa,\lambda)]$ the tree property at $\lambda =…

We extend the result of arXiv:0911.5414 about embedding of ideal-determined algebraic systems into ultraproducts, to arbitrary algebraic systems, and to ultraproducts over $\kappa$-complete ultrafilters. We also discuss the scope of…

Hellsten \cite{MR2026390} proved that when $\kappa$ is $\Pi^1_n$-indescribable, the \emph{$n$-club} subsets of $\kappa$ provide a filter base for the $\Pi^1_n$-indescribability ideal, and hence can also be used to give a characterization of…

Let $\lambda$ and $\kappa$ be cardinal numbers such that $\kappa$ is infinite and either $2\leq \lambda\leq \kappa$, or $\lambda=2^\kappa$. We prove that there exists a lattice $L$ with exactly $\lambda$ many congruences, $2^\kappa$ many…

It is shown that a locally compact second countable group $G$ has the Haagerup property if and only if there exists a sharply weak mixing 0-type measure preserving free $G$-action $T=(T_g)_{g\in G}$ on an infinite $\sigma$-finite standard…
