Let $\lambda$ be an uncountable cardinal such that $2^{< \lambda } = \lambda$. Working in the setup of generalized descriptive set theory, we study the structure of $\lambda^+$-Borel measurable functions with respect to various kinds of…

We provide a comprehensive development of the basics of descriptive set theory for non-separable complete metric spaces whose weight is a singular cardinal $\lambda$ of countable confinality. Somewhat unexpectedly, the resulting theory is…

We generalize the measurement using an expanded concept of cover, in order to provide a new approach to size of set other than cardinality. The generalized measurement has application backgrounds such as a generalized problem in dimension…

We show, assuming the consistency of one measurable cardinal, that it is consistent for there to be exactly kappa+ many normal measures on the least measurable cardinal kappa. This answers a question of Stewart Baldwin. The methods…

Using the recently defined concept of Taylor measures, we propose a generalization of Taylor's theorem to measurable, non-analytic functions, that do not require differentiation. We study consequences of the generalization, including the…

We extend Solovay's theorem about definable subsets of the Baire space to the generalized Baire space ${}^\lambda\lambda$, where $\lambda$ is an uncountable cardinal with $\lambda^{<\lambda}=\lambda$. In the first main theorem, we show that…

Suppose that $\lambda=\lambda^{<\lambda} \ge\aleph_0$, and we are considering a theory $T$. We give a criterion on $T$ which is sufficient for the consistent existence of $\lambda^{++}$ universal models of $T$ of size $\lambda^+$ for models…

We find new "reasons" for a class of models for not having a universal model in a cardinal $\lambda$. This work, though it has consequences in model theory, is really in combinatorial set theory. We concentrate on a prototypical class which…

If $\Lambda $ is a measure space, $u:\Lambda ^{m}\rightarrow \Bbb{R}$ is a given function and $N\geq m,$ the function $U(x_{1},...,x_{N})=\left( \begin{array}{l} N \\ m \end{array} \right) ^{-1}\sum_{1\leq i_{1}<\cdots <i_{m}\leq…

Generalizing classical descriptive set theory opens foundational questions about the Borel hierarchy. In this paper we systematically study those questions, working in the general framework of Polish-like spaces relative to an uncountable…

In the context of generalized descriptive set theory, we systematically compare and analyze various notions of Polish-like spaces and standard $\kappa$-Borel spaces for $\kappa$ an uncountable (regular) cardinal satisfying $\kappa^{<\kappa}…

We develop Descriptive Set Theory in Generalized Baire Spaces without assuming $\kappa^{<\kappa}=\kappa$. We point out that without this assumption the basic topological concepts of these spaces have to be slightly modified in order to…

Kunen's proof of the non-existence of Reinhardt cardinals opened up the research on very large cardinals, i.e., hypotheses at the limit of inconsistency. One of these large cardinals, I0, proved to have descriptive-set-theoretical…

A subset of a topological space is said to be \emph{universally measurable} if it is measured by the completion of each countably additive $\sigma$-finite Borel measure on the space, and \emph{universally null} if it has measure zero for…

A new notion of typicality for arbitrary probability measures on standard Borel spaces is proposed, which encompasses the classical notions of weak and strong typicality as special cases. Useful lemmas about strong typical sets, including…

We investigate extension of a measure to a very general set of undetermined structure. Structure may be imposed on this set in special cases

The quest for complete observables in general relativity has been a longstanding open problem. We employ methods from descriptive set theory to show that no complete observable on rich enough collections of spacetimes is Borel definable. In…

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…

Let $\Lambda$ be an isolated non-trival transitive set of a $C^1$ generic diffeomorphism $f\in\Diff(M)$. We show that the space of invariant measures supported on $\Lambda$ coincides with the space of accumulation measures of time averages…

In this paper we develop a notion of measure theory over boolean toposes which is analogous to noncommutative measure theory, i.e. to the theory of von Neumann algebras. This is part of a larger project to study relations between topos…
