We summarize the known methods of producing a non-supercompact strongly compact cardinal and describe some new variants. Our Main Theorem shows how to apply these methods to many cardinals simultaneously and exactly control which cardinals…

Let $\kappa$ be an uncountable cardinal such that $2^{<\kappa} = \kappa$ or just ${\rm cf}(\kappa) > \omega$, $2^{2^{<\kappa}}= 2^\kappa$, and $([\kappa]^\kappa, \supseteq)$ collapses $2^\kappa$ to $\omega$. We show under these assumptions…

We investigate finitary functions from $\mathbb{Z}_{n}$ to $\mathbb{Z}_{n}$ for a squarefree number $n$. We show that the lattice of all clones on the squarefree set $\mathbb{Z}_{p_1\cdots p_m}$ which contain the addition of…

The concept of a clone is central to many branches of mathematics, such as universal algebra, algebraic logic, and lambda calculus. Abstractly a clone is a category with two objects such that one is a countably infinite power of the other.…

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…

Let $\mathrm{cof}(\mu)=\mu$ and $\kappa$ be a supercompact cardinal with $\mu<\kappa$. Assume that there is an increasing and continuous sequence of cardinals $\langle\kappa_\xi\mid \xi<\mu\rangle$ with $\kappa_0:=\kappa$ and such that, for…

We prove from suitable large cardinal hypotheses that the least weakly compact cardinal can be unfoldable, weakly measurable and even nearly $\theta$-supercompact, for any desired $\theta$. In addition, we prove several global results…

We give a full description of all sets of functions on the group $(\mathbb{ Z}_p, +)$ of prime order which are closed under the composition with the clone generated by $+$ from both sides. Thereby, we also get a description of all iterative…

We prove the consistency of a singular cardinal $\lambda$ with small value of the ultrafilter number $u_\lambda$, and arbitrarily large value of $2^\lambda$.

We discuss some well-known compactness principles for uncountable structures of small regular sizes ($\omega_n$ for $2 \le n<\omega$, $\aleph_{\omega+1}$, $\aleph_{\omega^2+1}$, etc.), consistent from weakly compact (the size-restricted…

We deal with (< kappa)-supported iterated forcing notions which are (E_0,E_1)-complete, have in mind problems on Whitehead groups, uniformizations and the general problem. We deal mainly with the successor of a singular case. This continues…

We adjust the notion of finitary filter pair, which was coined for creating and analyzing finitary logics, in such a way that we can treat logics of cardinality $\kappa$, where $\kappa$ is a regular cardinal. The corresponding new notion is…

For any regular cardinal $\kappa$ and ordinal $\eta<\kappa^{++}$ it is consistent that $2^{\kappa}$ is as large as you wish, and every function $f:\eta \to [\kappa,2^{\kappa}]\cap Card$ with $f(\alpha)=\kappa$ for $cf(\alpha)<\kappa$ is the…

This work is a part of my upcoming thesis [7]. We establish an equiconsistency between (1) weak indestructibility for all $\kappa +2$-degrees of strength for cardinals $\kappa $ in the presence of a proper class of strong cardinals, and (2)…

If kappa is strongly compact, lambda > kappa is regular, then (2^{< lambda})^+ --> (lambda+eta)^2_theta holds for eta,theta<kappa.

A stationary subset $S$ of a regular uncountable cardinal $\kappa$ {\it reflects fully} at regular cardinals if for every stationary set $T \subseteq \kappa$ of higher order consisting of regular cardinals there exists an $\alpha \in T$…

We consider finitary relations (also known as crosses) that are definable via finite disjunctions of unary relations, i.e. subsets, taken from a fixed finite parameter set $\Gamma$. We prove that whenever $\Gamma$ contains at least one…

We show that supercompactness and strong compactness can be equivalent even as properties of pairs of regular cardinals. Specifically, we show that if V models ZFC + GCH is a given model (which in interesting cases contains instances of…

The paper settles the problem of the consistency of the existence of a single universal graph between a strong limit singular and its power. Assuming that in a model of $\mathbf{GCH}$ $\kappa$ is supercompact and the cardinals $\theta <…

Given a cardinal $\kappa$ that is $\lambda$-supercompact for some regular cardinal $\lambda\geq\kappa$ and assuming $\GCH$, we show that one can force the continuum function to agree with any function $F:[\kappa,\lambda]\cap\REG\to\CARD$…
