We study the question, what computational power is sufficient to perform constructions using either Laver or Hechler forcing. As a result, we obtain a separation between three relativised non-lowness classes that are the…
We generalize the classical Olivier's theorem which says that for any convergent series $\sum_n a_n$ with positive nonincreasing real terms the sequence $(n a_n)$ tends to zero. Our results encompass many known generalizations of Olivier's…
Fix an integer h>=1. In the universe of coloured trees of height at most h, we prove that for any graph decision problem defined by an MSO formula with r quantifiers, there exists a set of kernels, each of size bounded by an elementary…
We describe a formalization of forcing using Boolean-valued models in the Lean 3 theorem prover, including the fundamental theorem of forcing and a deep embedding of first-order logic with a Boolean-valued soundness theorem. As an…
We investigate iterating the construction of $C^{*}$, the $L$-like inner model constructed using first order logic augmented with the "cofinality $\omega$" quantifier. We first show that $\left(C^{*}\right)^{C^{*}}=C^{*}\ne L$ is…
The preservation theorems for semi-properness, hemi-properness, and pseudo-completeness hold for countable support iterations as well as revised countable support iterations, notwithstanding the fact that the "factor lemma" fails for the…
Martin Klazar computed the total weight of ordered trees under 12 different notions of weight. The last and perhaps most interesting of these weights, w_{12}, led to a recurrence relation and an identity for which he requested combinatorial…
Following the topic of the book Canonical Ramsey Theory on Polish Spaces by V. Kanovei, M. Sabok and J. Zapletal we study Borel equivalences on Laver trees. Here we prove that equivalence relations Borel reducible to an equivalence relation…
We study relationships between various set theoretic compactness principles, focusing on the interplay between the three families of combinatorial objects or principles mentioned in the title. Specifically, we show the following. (1) Strong…
Assume $\lambda$ is a singular limit of $\eta$ supercompact cardinals, where $\eta \leq \lambda$ is a limit ordinal. We present two forcing methods for making $\lambda^+$ the successor of the limit of the first $\eta$ measurable cardinals…
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…
Let $ L/K $ be a finite separable extension of local or global fields in any characteristic, let $ H_{1}, H_{2} $ be two Hopf algebras giving Hopf-Galois structures on the extension, and suppose that the actions of $ H_{1}, H_{2} $ on $ L $…
We show that (i) the standard fine structural properties for premice follow from normal iterability (whereas the classical proof relies on iterability for stacks of normal trees), and (ii) every mouse which is finitely generated above its…
In classical set theory, there are many equivalent ways to introduce ordinals. In a constructive setting, however, the different notions split apart, with different advantages and disadvantages for each. We consider three different notions…
In this paper we prove the equiconsistency of ``Every omega_1 tree which is first order definable over H_{omega_1} has a cofinal branch'' with the existence of a Pi^1_1 reflecting cardinal. The proof uses a definable version of Ramsey…
In this article we investigate which compact spaces remain compact under countably closed forcing. We prove that, assuming the Continuum Hypothesis, the natural generalizations to $\omega_1$-sequences of the selection principle and…
We show that one can force over $L$ that $\Sigma^1_3$-separation holds, while $\Pi^1_3$-reduction fails, thus separating these two principles for the first time. The construction can be lifted to canonical inner models $M_n$ with $n$-many…
The landmark Levy-Solovay Theorem limits the kind of large cardinal embeddings that can exist in a small forcing extension. Here I announce a generalization of this theorem to a broad new class of forcing notions. One consequence is that…
Let $k$ be a number field, $f(x)\in k[x]$ a polynomial over $k$ with $f(0)\neq 0$, and $\O_{k,S}^*$ the group of $S$-units of $k$, where $S$ is an appropriate finite set of places of $k$. In this note, we prove that outside of some natural…
Courcelle's celebrated theorem states that all MSO-expressible properties can be decided in linear time on graphs of bounded treewidth. Unfortunately, the hidden constant implied by this theorem is a tower of exponentials whose height…
