We deal with the combinatorial principle Weak Diamond, showing that we always either a local version is not saturated or we can increase the number of colours. Then we point out a model theoretic consequence of Weak Diamond.
We obtain bounds on the cardinality of $pcf(\mathfrak{a})$ from instances of weak diamond. Consequently, under mild assumptions there are many singular cardinals of the from $\aleph_\delta$ for which…
We prove the consistency of the failure of the weak diamond $\Phi_\lambda$ at strongly inaccessible cardinals. On the other hand, we show that the very weak diamond $\Psi_\lambda$ is equivalent to the statement $2^{<\lambda}<2^\lambda$ and…
We prove that, consistently, there exists a weakly but not strongly inaccessible cardinal $\lambda$ for which the sequence $\langle 2^\theta:\theta<\lambda\rangle$ is not eventually constant and the weak diamond fails at $\lambda$. We also…
Suppose that lambda is the successor of a singular cardinal mu whose cofinality is an uncountable cardinal kappa. We give a sufficient condition that the club filter of lambda concentrating on the points of cofinality kappa is not…
Starting from suitable large cardinals, we force the failure of (weak) diamond at the least inaccessible cardinal. The result improves an unpublished theorem of Woodin and a recent result of Ben-Neria, Garti and Hayut.
We characterize the situation of small cardinality for a product of cardinals divided by an ultrafilter. We develop the notion of weak normality. We include an application to Boolean Algebras.
In this paper, we characterize the possible cofinalities of the least $\lambda$-strongly compact cardinal. We show that, on the one hand, for any regular cardinal, $\delta$, that carries a $\lambda$-complete uniform ultrafilter, it is…
This is a slightly corrected version of an old work. Under certain cardinal arithmetic assumptions, we prove that for every large enough regular $\lambda$ cardinal, for many regular $\kappa < \lambda$, many stationary subsets of $\lambda$…
We establish the consistency of the failure of the diamond principle on a cardinal $\kappa$ which satisfies a strong simultaneous reflection property. The result is based on an analysis of Radin forcing, and further leads to a…
A cardinal is weakly Reinhardt if it is the critical point of an elementary embedding from the universe of sets into a model that contains the double powerset of every ordinal. This note establishes the equiconsistency of a proper class of…
We prove, e.g., that if lambda=chi^+=2^chi and S subseteq {delta<lambda:cf(delta) neq cf(chi)} is stationary then diamondsuit_lambda holds true.
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)…
We strengthen the revised GCH theorem by showing, e.g., that for lambda=cf(lambda)>beth_omega, for all but finitely many regular kappa<beth_omega, lambda is accessible on cofinality kappa in a weak version of it holds. In particular,…
In this paper we show how some known weak forms of the Zilber--Pink conjecture can be strengthened by combining them with the Mordell--Lang conjecture or its variants. We illustrate this idea by proving some theorems on atypical…
We define a notion of a weak canonical base for a partial type. This notion is weaker than the usual canonical base for an amalgamation base. We prove that certain family of partial types have a weak canonical base. This family clearly…
It is well-known that the square principle $\square_\lambda$ entails the existence of a non-reflecting stationary subset of $\lambda^+$, whereas the weak square principle $\square^*_\lambda$ does not. Here we show that if…
Bounded stationary reflection at a cardinal $\lambda$ is the assertion that every stationary subset of $\lambda$ reflects but there is a stationary subset of $\lambda$ that does not reflect at arbitrarily high cofinalities. We produce a…
We define the weak-normalization and the seminormalization of a real algebraic variety relative to its central locus. The study is related to the properties of the rings of continuous rational functions and hereditarily rational functions…
The following pcf results are proved: 1. Assume that kappa > aleph_0 is a weakly compact cardinal. Let mu > 2^kappa be a singular cardinal of cofinality kappa. Then for every regular lambda < pp^+_{Gamma(kappa)} (mu) there is an increasing…
