A finite unary algebra $(A,F)$ has only countably many countable subdirect powers if and only if every operation $f\in F$ is either a permutation or a constant mapping.

We introduce the notion of nonevasive reduction, and show that for any monotone poset map $\phi:P\to P$, the simplicial complex $\Delta(P)$ {\tt NE}-reduces to $\Delta(Q)$, for any $Q\supseteq{\text{\rm Fix}}\phi$. As a corollary, we prove…

We generalize a theorem of Bellow and Calder\'on concerning the a.e. convergence of the convolution powers $\ds \mu^nf(x)=\sum_{k}\mu^n(k)f(T^k x)$ where $T$ is a measure preserving transformation of a probability space and $\mu$ is a…

Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field $K$ of characteristic $p > 0$. We consider connected reductive subgroups $X$ of $G$ that contain a given distinguished unipotent element $u$ of $G$. A result of…

Let $\Omega $ be an open subset of $\mathbb{R}^{N}$, and let $p,\, q:\Omega \rightarrow \left[ 1,\infty \right] $ be measurable functions. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the embedding of the variable exponent space…

In [2] Su Gao proves that the following are equivalent for a countable $M$ (cf. theorem 1.2 too): (I)There is an uncountable model of the Scott sentence of $M$. (II) There exists some $j\in \overline{Aut(M)}\setminus Aut(M)$, where…

We prove that $\mu=\mu^{<\mu}$, $2^\mu=\mu^+$ and ``there is a non reflecting stationary subset of $\mu^+$ composed of ordinals of cofinality $<\mu$'' imply that there is a $\mu$-complete Souslin tree on $\mu^+$.

We present a version with non-definable forcing notions of Shelah's theory of iterated forcing along a template. Our main result, as an application, is that, if $\kappa$ is a measurable cardinal and $\theta<\kappa<\mu<\lambda$ are…

A natural construction of the logarithmic extension of the M(2,p) minimal models is presented, which generalises our previous model [0708.0802] of percolation (p=3). Its key aspect is the replacement of the minimal model irreducible modules…

The following results are proved: (a) In a model obtained by adding aleph_2 Cohen reals, there is always a c.c.c. complete Boolean algebra without the weak Freese-Nation property. (b) Modulo the consistency strength of a supercompact…

Consider $(\kappa^{+++},\kappa^{++}) \twoheadrightarrow (\kappa^+,\kappa)$ where $\kappa$ is an uncountable regular cardinal. By a result of Shelah's we have $\operatorname{cof}(X \cap \kappa^{++}) = \kappa$ for almost all $X \subset…

In this paper we consider the Foreman's maximality principle, which says that any non-trivial forcing notion either adds a new real or collapses some cardinals. We prove the consistency of some of its consequences. We prove that it is…

Let $E=E(0,\infty)$ be a symmetric function space and $E(\mathcal{M},\tau)$ be a symmetric operator space associated with a semifinite von Neumann algebra with a faithful normal semifinite trace. Our main result identifies the class of…

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,…

While the classification of univariate power series up to coordinate change is trivial in characteristic 0, this classification is very different in positive characteristic. In this note we give a complete classification of univariate power…

Monk asks (problems 13, 15 in his list; pi is the algebraic density):''For a Boolean algebra B, aleph_0 <= theta <= pi (B), does B have a subalgebra B' with pi (B')= theta ?'' If theta is regular the answer is easily positive, we show that…

David Aspero asks on the possibility of having Forcing axiom FA_{aleph_2}(K), where K is the class of forcing notions preserving stationarity of subsets of aleph_1 and of aleph_2. We answer negatively, in fact we show the negative result…

Let \alpha be a countable ordinal and \P(\alpha) the collection of its subsets isomorphic to \alpha. We show that the separative quotient of the set \P (\alpha) ordered by the inclusion is isomorphic to a forcing product of iterated reduced…

We prove that every clone of operations on a finite set A, if it contains a Malcev operation, is finitely related -- i.e., identical with the clone of all operations respecting R for some finitary relation R over A. It follows that for a…

We deal with an iteration theorem of forcing notion with a kind of countable support of nice enough forcing notion which is proper aleph_2-c.c. forcing notions. We then look at some special cases (Q_D 's preceded by random forcing).
