We prove that if lambda is a strong limit singular cardinal and kappa a regular uncountable cardinal < lambda, then NS_{kappa lambda}, the non-stationary ideal over P_{kappa} lambda, is nowhere precipitous. We also show that under the same…

This is a continuation of "Some results on nonstationry ideal". The upper bound on precipitousness of NS_lambda^+ for a regular lambda given in this paper is proved to be exact.It is shown that saturatedness of NS_kappa^aleph_0 over…

Let kappa be a regular uncountable cardinal and lambda >=kappa^+ . The principle of stationary reflection for P_kappa lambda has been successful in settling problems of infinite combinatorics in the case kappa=omega_1. For a greater kappa…

We present an overview of results on the question of whether the non-stationary ideal of an uncountable regular cardinal $\kappa$ can be defined by a $\Pi_1$-formula using parameters of hereditary cardinality at most $\kappa$. These results…

For $\kappa$ regular and uncountable we define variants of the classical cardinal characteristics modulo the non-stationary ideal.

Let $\mu < \kappa < \lambda$ be three infinite cardinals, the first two being regular. We show that if there is no inner model with large cardinals, $u (\kappa, \lambda)$ is regular, where $u (\kappa, \lambda)$ denotes the least size of a…

We extend prior results of Cody-Eskew, showing the consistency of GCH with the statement that for all regular cardinals $\kappa \leq \lambda$, where $\kappa$ is the successor of a regular cardinal, there is a rigid saturated ideal on…

We show that the reduced cofinality of the nonstationary ideal NS_kappa on a regular uncountable cardinal kappa may be less than its cofinality, where the reduced cofinality of NS_kappa is the least cardinality of any family F of…

We show, assuming the consistency of one measurable cardinal, that it is consistent for there to be exactly kappa+ many normal measures on the least measurable cardinal kappa. This answers a question of Stewart Baldwin. The methods…

Building on work of Holy, L\"ucke and Njegomir \cite{MR3913154} on small embedding characterizations of large cardinals, we use some classical results of Baumgartner (see \cite{MR0384553} and \cite{MR0540770}), to give characterizations of…

Let $\kappa$,$\lambda$ be regular uncountable cardinals such that $\lambda > \kappa^+$ is not a successor of a singular cardinal of low cofinality. We construct a generic extension with $s(\kappa) = \lambda$ starting from a ground model in…

We revisit several results concerning club principles and nonsaturation of the nonstationary ideal, attempting to improve them in various ways. So we typically deal with a (non necessarily normal) ideal $J$ extending the nonstationary ideal…

We show that the tree property, stationary reflection and the failure of approachability at $\kappa^{++}$ are consistent with $\mathfrak{u}(\kappa) = \kappa^+ < 2^\kappa$, where $\kappa$ is a singular strong limit cardinal with the…

Let kappa a regular uncountable cardinal and lambda a cardinal >kappa, and suppose lambda^{<kappa} is less than the covering number for category cov(M_{kappa,kappa}). Then (a) I_{kappa,lambda}^+ -->^kappa (I_{kappa, lambda}^+,omega +1)^2,…

Given an ordinal delta <= lambda and a cardinal theta <= kappa, an ideal J on P_kappa(lambda) is said to be [delta]^{<theta}-normal if given B_e in J for e in P_theta(delta), the set of all a in P_kappa(lambda) such that a in B_e for some e…

We prove several results giving lower bounds for the large cardinal strength of a failure of the singular cardinal hypothesis. The main result is the following theorem: Theorem: Suppose $\kappa$ is a singular strong limit cardinal and…

For a strongly inacessible cardinal $\kappa$, we investigate the relationships between the following ideals: - the ideal of meager sets in the ${<}\kappa$-box product topology - the ideal of "null" sets in the sense of [Sh:1004]…

Hellsten \cite{MR2026390} gave a characterization of $\Pi^1_n$-indescribable subsets of a $\Pi^1_n$-indescribable cardinal in terms of a natural filter base: when $\kappa$ is a $\Pi^1_n$-indescribable cardinal, a set $S\subseteq\kappa$ is…

For infinite cardinals $\kappa,\lambda$ let $C(\kappa,\lambda)$ denote the class of all compact Hausdorff spaces of weight $\kappa$ and size $\lambda$. So $C(\kappa,\lambda)=\emptyset$ if $\kappa>\lambda$ or $\lambda>2^\kappa$. If F is a…

We prove that consistently there is a singular cardinal $\kappa$ of uncountable cofinality such that $2^\kappa$ is weakly inaccessible, and every regular cardinal strictly between $\kappa$ and $2^\kappa$ is the character of some uniform…
