We consider $(<\lambda)$-support iterations of a version of $(<\lambda)$-strategically complete $\lambda^+$-c.c. definable forcing notions along partial orders. We show that such iterations can be corrected to yield an analog of a result by…

We give some sufficient and necessary conditions on a forcing notion Q for preserving the forcing notion ([omega]^{aleph_0},supseteq^*) is proper. They cover many reasonable forcing notions.

We show that assuming $\mathsf{ZF}+\mathsf{AD}^+ +$ "$V = \mathrm{L} \bigl(\wp (\mathbb{R})\bigr)$", any poset which increases $\Theta$ does not preserve the truth of $\mathsf{AD}$. We also show that in $\mathsf{ZF} + \mathsf{AD}$, any…

Based on the work of Shelah, Kellner, and T\u{a}nasie (Fund. Math., 166(1-2):109-136, 2000 and Comment. Math. Univ. Carolin., 60(1):61-95, 2019), and the recent developments in the third author's master's thesis, we develop a general theory…

Assume $\kappa = \kappa^{< \kappa}$ (usually $\aleph_0$ or an inaccessible). We shall deal with iterated forcings preserving ${}^{\kappa>}{\rm Ord}$ and not collapsing cardinals along a linear order $L$. A sufficient condition for this,…

Let k be a definable L-cardinal. Then there is a set of reals X, class-generic over L, such that L(X) and L have the same cardinals, X has size k in L(X) and some pi-1-2 formula defines X in all set-generic extensions of L(X). Two…

We develop a toolbox for forcing over arbitrary models of set theory without the axiom of choice. In particular, we introduce a variant of the countable chain condition and prove an iteration theorem that applies to many classical forcings…

We introduce the notion of a tight cofinitary group, which captures forcing indestructibility of maximal cofinitary groups for a long list of partial orders, including Cohen, Sacks, Miller, Miller partition forcing and Shelah's poset for…

We prove it consistent relative to ZFC that all nontrivial forcings of size $\aleph _1$ add a Cohen real.

We present a systematic study of the method of "norms on possibilities" of building forcing notions with keeping their properties under full control. This technique allows us to answer several open problems, but on our way to get the…

Foreman proved the Duality Theorem, which gives an algebraic characterization of certain ideal quotients in generic extensions. As an application he proved that generic supercompactness of $\omega_1$ is preserved by any proper forcing. We…

In various models of set theory, we consider covering Aleph_1 x Aleph_1 rectangles by countably many smooth curves, and we study differentiable isomorphisms between Aleph_1-dense sets of reals.

We are proving the following: (1) If $\kap$ is a weakly inaccessible then $NS_\kap$ is not $\kap^+$-saturated. (2) If $\kap$ is a weakly inaccessible and $\tet <\kap$ is regular then $NS^\tet_\kap$ is not $\kap^+$-saturated. (3) If $\kap$…

We build on a 1990 paper of Bukovsky and Coplakova-Hartova. First, we remove the hypothesis of $\textsf{CH}$ from one of their minimality results. Then, using a measurable cardinal, we show that there is a $|\aleph_2^V|=\aleph_1$-minimal…

We show how to force, with finite conditions, the forcing axiom PFA(T), a relativization of PFA to proper forcing notions preserving a given Souslin tree T. The proof uses a Neeman style iteration with generalized side conditions consisting…

We develop the theory of the forcing with trees and creatures for an inaccessible lambda continuing Ros{\l}anowski and Shelah math.LO/9807172, math.LO/9909115. To make a real use of these forcing notions (that is to iterate them without…

We consider extensions of the language of Peano arithmetic by transfinitely iterated truth definitions satisfying uniform Tarskian biconditionals. Without further axioms, such theories are known to be conservative extensions of the original…

A property of a filter, a kind of large cardinal property, suffices for the proof in Liu Shelah [LiSh:484] and is proved consistent as required there. A natural property which looks better, not only is not obtained here, but is shown to be…

This expository paper covers the first two sections of chapter VI of Shelah's book "Proper and Improper Forcing," including the preservationn (using CS iterations of proper forcings) of omega-omega bounding, Sacks property, Lavewr property,…

This is an exposition of the first two sections of Chapter VI of Shelah's book Proper and Improper Forcing. It covers various preservation theorems for CS iteration of proper forcing (omega-omega bounding, Sacks property, P-point property,…
