We investigate the consistency strength of the statement: $\kappa$ is weakly compact and there is no tree on $\kappa$ with exactly $\kappa^{+}$ many branches. We show that this statement fails strongly (in the sense that there is a sealed…
We study some topological properties of trees with the interval topology. In particular, we characterize trees which admit a 2-fibered compactification and we present two examples of trees whose one-point compactifications are Rosenthal…
It is consistent that there exists a Souslin tree $T$ such that after forcing with it, $T$ becomes an almost Souslin Kurepa tree. This answers a question of Zakrzewski.
We answer three questions posed by Bubeck and Linial on the limit densities of subtrees in trees. We prove there exist positive $\varepsilon_1$ and $\varepsilon_2$ such that every tree that is neither a path nor a star has inducibility at…
Let $X$ be a finite set. We give criterion to say if a system of trees ${\cal P}=\{T_i\}_i$ with leaf sets $L(T_i) \in {X \choose 5}$ can be amalgamated into a supertree, that is, if there exists a tree $T$ with $L(T)=X$ such that $T$…
We investigate a notion called uniqueness in power kappa that is akin to categoricity in power kappa, but is based on the cardinality of the generating sets of models instead of on the cardinality of their universes. The notion is quite…
We study effective randomness-preserving transformations of path-incompressible trees. Some path-incompressible trees with infinitely many paths do not compute perfect path-random trees with computable oracle-use. Sparse perfect…
In this paper we analyse some questions concerning trees on $\kappa$, both for the countable and the uncountable case, and the connections with Cohen reals. In particular, we provide a proof for one of the implications left open in…
We construct a tree T of maximal degree 3 with infinitely many leaves such that whenever finitely many of them are removed, the remaining tree is isomorphic to T. In this sense T resembles an infinite star.
We construct a model in which the tree property holds in $\aleph_{\omega + 1}$ and it is destructible under $\text{Col}(\omega, \omega_1)$. On the other hand we discuss some cases in which the tree property is indestructible under small or…
We construct a model in which all $C$-sequences are trivial, yet there exists a $\kappa$-Souslin tree with full vanishing levels. This answers a question of Lambie-Hanson and Rinot, and provides an optimal combination of compactness and…
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 characterize those countable rooted trees whose full automorphism group has uncountable strong cofinality or contains an open subgroup with ample generics.
Mekler constructed a way to produce a pure group from any given structure where the construction preserves $\kappa$-stability for any cardinal $\kappa$. Not only the stability, it is known that his construction preserves various…
In this paper we study the theories of the infinite-branching tree and the $r$-regular tree, and show that both of them are pseudofinite. Moreover, we show that they can be realized by infinite ultraproducts of polynomial exact classes of…
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…
We prove that the road space of an R-special tree is contractible and that a locally metrizable space containing a copy of an uncountable $\omega_1$-compact subspace of a tree is not. We also raise some questions about possible…
We propose a parameterized proxy principle from which $\kappa$-Souslin trees with various additional features can be constructed, regardless of the identity of $\kappa$. We then introduce the microscopic approach, which is a simple method…
We study the asymptotic number of certain monotonically labeled increasing trees arising from a generalized evolution process. The main difference between the presented model and the classical model of binary increasing trees is that the…
Starting with infinitely many supercompact cardinals, we show that the tree property at every cardinal $\aleph_n$, $1 < n <\omega$, is consistent with an arbitrary continuum function below $\aleph_\omega$ which satisfies $2^{\aleph_n} >…
