In recent years, several problems regarding the partition regularity of exponential configurations have been studied in the literature, in some cases using the properties of specific ultrafilters. In this paper, we start to lay down the…

Rothberger's question of whether the two cardinals $\mathfrak p$ and $\mathfrak t$ are equal, posed back in 1948, was only answered fairly recently in the affirmative. Here we answer the more difficult progenitor question (posed in the same…

We develop the notion of coherent ultrafilters (extenders without normality or well-foundedness). We then use definable coherent ultraproducts to characterize any extension of a model $M$ in any fragment of $\mathbb{L}_{\infty, \omega}$…

Ultrafilters are useful mathematical objects having applications in nonstandard analysis, Ramsey theory, Boolean algebra, topology, and other areas of mathematics. In this note, we provide a categorical construction of ultrafilters in terms…

The relationship between the large cardinal notions of strong compactness and supercompactness cannot be determined under the standard ZFC axioms of set theory. Under a hypothesis called the Ultrapower Axiom, we prove that the notions are…

It is well-known that every non-isolated point in a compact Hausdorff space is the accumulation point of a discrete subset. Answering a question raised by Z. Szentmiklossy and the first author, we show that this statement fails for…

We prove that the existence of $\mathfrak{c}$ incomparable selective ultrafilters implies the existence of a Wallace semigroup whose cube is countably compact. In addition, assuming the existence of $2^{\mathfrak c}$ incomparable selective…

Given data in $\mathbb{R}^{p}$, a Tukey $\kappa$-trimmed region is the set of all points that have at least Tukey depth $\kappa$ w.r.t. the data. As they are visual, affine equivariant and robust, Tukey regions are useful tools in…

We study the p-fine topology on complete metric spaces equipped with a doubling measure supporting a p-Poincare inequality, 1 < p< oo. We establish a weak Cartan property, which yields characterizations of the p-thinness and the p-fine…

If E is a locally convex topological vector space, let P(E) be the pre-ordered set of all continuous seminorms on E. We study, on the one hand, for g an infinite cardinal those locally convex spaces E which have the g-neighbourhood property…

Let E be a Dedekind complete Riesz space with weak unit e, equipped with a conditional expectation operator T. We prove that the spaces Lp(T), with their natural vector-valued norms, are strongly complete, extending the p=2 case of Kuo,…

The aim of this note is to obtain results about when the norm of a projective tensor product is strongly subdifferentiable. We prove that if $X\hat{\otimes}_\pi Y$ is strongly subdifferentiable and either $X$ or $Y$ has the metric…

We discuss the rainbow Ramsey theorems at limit cardinals and successors of singular cardinals, addressing some questions in \cite{MR2354904} and \cite{MR2902230}. In particular, we show for inaccessible $\kappa$,…

We study the possible number of normal measures on a measurable cardinal in settings where inner model techniques are unavailable. Instead, we exploit consequences of the Ultrapower Axiom to obtain our theorems. We show that the classical…

We study completeness of a topological vector space with respect to different filters on the set N of all naturals. In the metrizable case all these kinds of completeness are the same, but in non-metrizable case the situation changes. For…

We study the question which Boolean algebras have the property that for every generating set there is an ultrafilter selecting maximal number of its elements. We call it the ultrafilter selection property. For cardinality aleph-one the…

We will consider a number of new large-cardinal properties, the $\alpha$-tremendous cardinals for each limit ordinal $\alpha>0$, the hyper-tremendous cardinals, the $\alpha$-enormous cardinals for each limit ordinal $\alpha>0$, and the…

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…

It is proved to be consistent relative to a measurable cardinal that there is a uniform ultrafilter on the real numbers which is generated by fewer than the maximum possible number of sets. It is also shown to be consistent relative to a…

Calabi-Yau compactifications have typically a large number of complex structure and/or K\"ahler moduli that have to be stabilised in phenomenologically-relevant vacua. The former can in principle be done by fluxes in type IIB solutions.…
