We investigate the generalized derivations and show that every generalized derivation on a simple Hilbert $C^*$-module either is closable or has a dense range. We also describe dynamical systems on a full Hilbert $C^*$-module ${\mathcal M}$…
We present a notion of forcing that can be used, in conjunction with other results, to show that there is a Martin-L\"of random set X such that X does not compute 0' and X computes every K-trivial set.
Let $(M,\scott X) \models \ACA$ be such that $P_\scott X$, the collection of all unbounded sets in $\scott X$, admits a definable complete ultrafilter and let $T$ be a theory extending first order arithmetic coded in $\scott X$ such that…
Let $X$ be a normal complex projective variety, $T\subseteq X$ a subvariety, $a\colon X\rightarrow A$ a morphism to an abelian variety such that $\rm{Pic}^0(A)$ injects into $\rm{Pic}^0(T)$ and let $L$ be a line bundle on $X$. Denote by…
The foundations of forcing theory are reworked to streamline the presentation and to show how the most basic results are applicable in very general contexts.
Assume that $M$ is a c.t.m. of $ZFC+CH$ containing a simplified $(\omega_1,2)$-morass, $P\in M$ is the poset adding $\aleph_3$ generic reals and $G$ is $P$-generic over $M$. In $M$ we construct a function between sets of terms in the…
We analyze the forcing notion $\mathcal P$ of finite matrices whose rows consists of isomorphic countable elementary submodels of a given structure of the form $H_{\theta}$. We show that forcing with this poset adds a Kurepa tree $T$.…
We develop a general framework for forcing with coherent adequate sets on $H(\lambda)$ as side conditions, where $\lambda \ge \omega_2$ is a cardinal of uncountable cofinality. We describe a class of forcing posets which we call coherent…
Assuming that there is no inner model with a strong cardinal, the following is shown: any subset of \omega_1 can be made \Delta^1_3 (in the codes) by a reasonable set-forcing; there is a reasonable set-generic extension with a \Delta^1_3…
We note that some form of the condition "$p_1, p_2$ have a $\leq_{\mathbb{Q}}$-lub in $\mathbb{Q}$" is necessary in some forcing axiom for $\lambda$-complete $\mu^+$-c.c. forcing notions. We also show some versions are really stronger than…
We study the relationship between Amoeba forcing (the partial order which generically adds a measure one set of random reals) and projective measurability. Given a universe V of set theory and a forcing notion P in V we say that V is…
We present a detailed general framework to describe the forcing $\tilde{\mathbb{E}}$, defined by Kellner, Shelah and Tan\u{a}sie to prove the consistency with ZFC of an alternative order of Cicho\'n's maximum. Our presentation is close to…
We consider inductive systems of C*-algebras with completely positive contractive connecting maps. We define a condition, called C*-encoding, which is sufficient for the limit of the system to be completely order isomorphic to a C*-algebra…
We extend A. Miller's framework of $\alpha$-forcing to the case of a regular uncountable cardinal $\kappa = \kappa^{<\kappa}$ and apply it to study the structure of the $\kappa$-Borel hierarchy on subspaces of the generalized Baire space…
It is well known that the completeness theorem for $\mathrm{L}_{\omega_1\omega}$ fails with respect to Tarski semantics. Mansfield showed that it holds for $\mathrm{L}_{\infty\infty}$ if one replaces Tarski semantics with boolean valued…
We answer a question of Moore by building a forcing extension satisfying measuring together with CH. The construction works over any model of ZFC and can be described as a forcing iteration with countable structures as side conditions and…
We present three natural combinatorial properties for class forcing notions, which imply the forcing theorem to hold. We then show that all known sufficent conditions for the forcing theorem (except for the forcing theorem itself),…
We introduce the notion of a totally ($K$-) bounded element of a W*-probability space $(M, \varphi)$ and, borrowing ideas of Kadison, give an intrinsic characterization of the $^*$-subalgebra $M_{tb}$ of totally bounded elements. Namely, we…
The purpose of this note is to describe when a general complex algebraic $^*$-algebra is pre-$C^*$-normed, and to investigate their structure when the $^*$-algebras are Baer $^*$-rings in addition to algebraicity. As a main result we prove…
For any first order theory T we construct a Boolean valued model M, in which precisely the T--provable formulas hold, and in which every (Boolean valued) subset which is invariant under all automorphisms of M is definable by a first order…
