The power domination number arises from the monitoring of electrical networks and its determination is an important problem. Upper bounds for power domination numbers can be obtained by constructions. Lower bounds for the power domination…
Given a lattice $\mathbb{L}$ and a class $K$ of algebraic structures, we say that $\mathbb{L}$ \emph{forces nilpotency} in $K$ if every algebra $\mathbf{A} \in K$ whose congruence lattice $\mathrm{Con} (\mathbf{A})$ is isomorphic to…
We investigate the computational properties of basic mathematical notions pertaining to $\mathbb{R}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$-functions and subsets of $\mathbb{R}$, like finiteness, countability, (absolute) continuity, bounded variation,…
We study the degrees of selector functions related to the degrees in which a rigid computable structure is relatively computably categorical. It is proved that for some structures such degrees can be represented as the unions of upper cones…
The landmark Levy-Solovay Theorem limits the kind of large cardinal embeddings that can exist in a small forcing extension. Here I announce a generalization of this theorem to a broad new class of forcing notions. One consequence is that…
For a relational structure ${\mathbb X}$ we investigate the partial order $\langle {\mathbb P} ({\mathbb X}) ,\subset \rangle$, where ${\mathbb P} ({\mathbb X}):=\{ f[X]: f\in \mathop{\rm Emb}\nolimits ({\mathbb X})\}$. Here we consider…
We isolate a combinatorial property of capacities leading to a construction of proper forcings. Then we show that many classical capacities such as the Newtonian capacity satisfy the property.
A cohesive power of a structure is an effective analog of the classical ultrapower of a structure. We start with a computable structure, and consider its countable ultrapower over a cohesive set of natural numbers. A cohesive set is an…
While there is a well-established notion of what a computable ordinal is, the question which functions on the countable ordinals ought to be computable has received less attention so far. We propose a notion of computability on the space of…
We show how to construct, via forcing, splitting families than are preserved by a certain type of finite support iterations. As an application, we construct a model where 15 classical characteristics of the continuum are pairwise different,…
We prove a conjecture concerning the third Hankel determinant, proposed in ``Anal. Math. Phys., https://doi.org/10.1007/s13324-021-00483-7", which states that $|H_3(1)|\leq 1/9$ is sharp for the class $\mathcal{S}_{\wp}^{*}=\{zf'(z)/f(z)…
Given a cofinal cardinal function $h\in{}^\kappa\kappa$ for $\kappa$ inaccessible, we consider the dominating $h$-localisation number, that is, the least cardinality of a dominating set of $h$-slaloms such that every $\kappa$-real is…
By the sometimes so-called 'Main Theorem' of Recursive Analysis, every computable real function is necessarily continuous. We wonder whether and which kinds of HYPERcomputation allow for the effective evaluation of also discontinuous…
We force over the constructible universe to obtain a model of the $\Pi^1_3$-reduction property, thus lowering the best known large cardinal strength from the existence of $M_1^{\#}$ to just ZFC. In this model the $\Pi^1_3$-uniformization…
We analyze the intermediate models of the strongly compact Prikry forcing. We exhibit a simple combinatorial property which, for a given supercompact cardinal $\kappa$, characterize the projections of all projections of the strongly compact…
Following a line of research initiated in \cite{BBNN}, I describe a general framework for turning reduction concepts of relative computability into diagrams forming an analogy with the Cicho\'n diagram for cardinal characteristics of the…
Inspired by Quantum Mechanics, we reformulate Hilbert's tenth problem in the domain of integer arithmetics into problems involving either a set of infinitely-coupled non-linear differential equations or a class of linear Schr\"odinger…
Chung, Graham and Wilson defined a set of graphs $\mathcal{H}$ to be forcing, if any sequence of graphs $\{G_n\}_{n \geq 0}$ with $|G_n| = n$ must be quasirandom, whenever $hom(H, G_n)= (p^{|E(H)|}+o(1))n^{|V(H)|}$ for every $H \in…
We show that generalized eventually narrow sequences on a strongly inaccessible cardinal $\kappa$ are preserved under the Cummings-Shaleh non-linear iterations of the higher Hechler forcing on $\kappa$. Moreover assuming GCH,…
We use the technique of "classical realizability" to build new models of ZF + DC in which R is not well ordered. This gives new relative consistency results, probably not obtainable by forcing. This gives also a new method to get programs…
