Martin's Axiom does not imply that all automorphisms of P(N)/[N]^{<aleph_0} are somewhere trivial.

Martin's Axiom for $\sigma$-centered partial orders implies that there is a cosmic space with non-coinciding dimensions.

We construct a generic extension of $L$ satisfying Martin's Axiom, $2^{\aleph_0}=\aleph_3$, a lightface $\Delta^1_3$ wellorder of the reals, and $\Sigma^1_n$-uniformization for every $n\geq 2$ simultaneously.

The axioms of ZFC provide a foundation for mathematics, however, there are statements independent of ZFC, such as the Continuum Hypothesis (CH). We discuss Martin's axiom, which is an alternative to CH that roughly states that if there is a…

We show that Martin's Maximum${}^{++}$ implies Woodin's ${\mathbb P}_{\rm max}$ axiom $(*)$. This answers a question from the 1990's and amalgamates two prominent axioms of set theory which were both known to imply that there are $\aleph_2$…

For x and y sequences of real numbers define the inner product (x,y) = x(0)y(0) + x(1)y(1)+ ... which may not be finite or even exist. We say that x and y are orthogonal iff (x,y) converges and equals 0. Define l_p to be the set of all real…

There exists a family $\{B_{\alpha}\}_{\alpha<\omega_1}$ of sets of countable ordinals such that o $\max B_{\alpha}=\alpha$, o if $\alpha\in B_{\beta}$ then $B_{\alpha}\subseteq B_{\beta}$, o if $\lambda\leq \alpha$ and $\lambda$ is a limit…

We show that there are no infinite maximal almost disjoint ("mad") families in Solovay's model, thus solving a long-standing problem posed by A.D.R. Mathias in 1967. We also give a new proof of Mathias' theorem that no analytic infinite…

Assuming an inaccessible cardinal kappa, there is a generic extension in which MA + 2^{aleph_0} = kappa holds and the reals have a Delta^2_1 well-ordering.

We prove that the consistency strength of Martin's Maximum restricted to partial orders of cardinality $\omega_1$ follows from the consistency of ZFC.

Every partition of [[omega_1]^{< omega}]^2 into finitely many pieces has a cofinal homogeneous set. Furthermore, it is consistent that every directed partially ordered set satisfies the partition property if and only if it has finite…

We provide an explicit infinite family of integers $m$ such that all the polynomials of ${\mathbb F}_{2^n}[x]$ of degree $m$ have maximal differential uniformity for $n$ large enough. We also prove a conjecture of the third author in these…

We prove that Martin's Maximum does not imply the Diagonal Reflection Principle for stationary subsets of $[ \omega_2 ]^\omega$.

A Sidon set is a subset of an Abelian group with the property that each sum of two distinct elements is distinct. We construct a small maximal Sidon set of size $O((n \cdot 2^n)^{1/3})$ in the group $\mathbb{Z}_2^n$, generalizing a result…

We define the $\aleph_{1.5}$ chain condition. The corresponding forcing axiom is a generalization of Martin's Axiom and implies certain uniform failures of club--guessing on $\omega_1$ that don't seem to have been considered in the…

We study maximal orthogonal families of Borel probability measures on $2^\omega$ (abbreviated m.o. families) and show that there are generic extensions of the constructible universe $L$ in which each of the following holds: (1) There is a…

We study a strengthening of Bounded Martin's Maximum which asserts that if a \Sigma_1 fact holds of \omega_2^V in a stationary set preserving extension then it holds in V for a stationary set of ordinals less than \omega_2. We show that…

We study two families of orthogonal polynomials. The first is a finite family related to the Askey-Wilson polynomials but the orthogonality is on the real line. A limiting case of this family is an infinite system of orthogonal polynomials…

We construct a canonical irreducible representation for the orthofermion algebra of arbitrary order, and show that every representation decomposes into irreducible representations that are isomorphic to either the canonical representation…

We provide a simple criterion on a family of functions that implies a square function estimate on $L^p$ for every even integer $p \geq 2$. This defines a new type of superorthogonality that is verified by checking a less restrictive…
