This paper is concerned with a class K of models and an abstract notion of submodel <=. Experience in first order model theory has shown the desirability of finding a `monster model' to serve as a universal domain for K. In the original…
It was shown by Rordam and the second named author that a countable group G admits an action on a compact space such that the crossed product is a Kirchberg algebra if, and only if, G is exact and non-amenable. This construction allows a…
It is shown that if T is stable unsuperstable, and aleph_1< lambda =cf(lambda)< 2^{aleph_0}, or 2^{aleph_0} < mu^+< lambda =cf(lambda)< mu^{aleph_0} then T has no universal model in cardinality lambda, and if e.g. aleph_omega < 2^{aleph_0}…
We consider the space of countable structures with fixed underlying set in a given countable language. We show that the number of ergodic probability measures on this space that are $S_\infty$-invariant and concentrated on a single…
In [Sh E46], Shelah obtained a non-forking relation for an AEC, (K,\preceq), with LST-number at most \lambda, which is categorical in \lambda and \lambda^+ and has less than 2^{\lambda^+} models of cardinality \lambda^{++}, but at least…
Given a strong limit cardinal $\lambda$ of countable cofinality, we show that if every $\lambda$-coanalytic subset of the generalised Cantor space ${}^{\lambda}2$ has the $\lambda$-$\mathsf{PSP}$, then there is an inner model with…
A study is carried out of the elementary theory of quotients of symmetric groups in a similar spirit to [Sh:24]. Apart from the trivial and alternating subgroups, the normal subgroups of the full symmetric group S(mu) on an infinite…
Generalizing a construction of Wolfgang L\"uck and Bob Oliver, we define a good equivariant cohomology theory on the category of proper G-CW complexes when G is an arbitrary Lie group (possibly non-compact). This is done by constructing an…
Families of regimes for control systems are studied possessing the so called quasi-controllability property that is similar to the Kalman controllability property. A new approach is proposed to estimate the degree of transients overshooting…
We investigate the extent to which ultrapowers by normal measures on $\kappa$ can be correct about powersets $\mathcal{P}(\lambda)$ for $\lambda>\kappa$. We consider two versions of this questions, the capturing property…
In this paper, we consider a class of second-order evolution differential inclusions in Hilbert spaces. This paper deals with the approximate controllability for a class of second-order control systems. First, we establish a set of…
We introduce the notion of weakly extendible cardinals and show that these cardinals are characterized in terms of weak compactness of second order logic. The consistency strength and largeness of weakly extendible cardinals are located…
The Kalikow problem for a pair (lambda, kappa) of cardinal numbers, lambda > kappa (in particular kappa =2) is whether we can map the family of omega --sequences from lambda to the family of omega --sequences from kappa in a very continuous…
We investigate the unbalanced ordinary partition relations of the form $\lambda \rightarrow {(\lambda, \alpha)}^{2}$ for various values of the cardinal $\lambda$ and the ordinal $\alpha$. For example, we show that for every infinite…
In control theory, understanding the observability property of a system is crucial for effectively managing and controlling dynamical systems. This property empowers us to deduce the internal state of a system from its outputs over time,…
We deal with the existence of universal members in a given cardinality for several classes. First we deal with classes of Abelian groups, specifically with the existence of universal members in cardinalities which are strong limit singular…
Using Koszmider's strongly unbounded functions, we show the following consistency result: Suppose that $\kappa,\lambda$ are infinite cardinals such that $\kappa^{+++} \leq \lambda$, $\kappa^{<\kappa}=\kappa$ and $2^{\kappa}= \kappa^+$, and…
In this paper, we study linear control systems with positive bounded orbits. We show that the existence of positive bounded orbits imposes strong algebraic and topological constraints on the state space. In fact, a linear control system has…
In this paper we present two flavors of a quantum extension to the lambda calculus. The first one, $\lambda_\rho$, follows the approach of classical control/quantum data, where the quantum data is represented by density matrices. We provide…
Given an arbitrary measurable cardinal $\kappa$, a nondiscrete Hausdorff extremally disconnected topological group of cardinality $\kappa$ is constructed.
