We ask for a given system of polynomials f_1,...,f_n and f over the complex numbers when there exist continuous functions q_1,...,q_n such that q_1 f_1+...+q_n f_n = f. This condition defines the continuous closure of an ideal. We give…
We further develop a forcing notion known as Coding with Perfect Trees and show that this poset preserves, in a strong sense, definable $P$-points, definable tight MAD families and definable selective independent families. As a result, we…
Let $\mathscr{L}\subset \mathbb{Z}^n$ be a lattice, $I$ its corresponding lattice ideal, and $J$ the toric ideal arising from the saturation of $\mathscr{L}$. We produce infinitely many examples, in every codimension, of pairs $I,J$ where…
We investigate forcing properties of perfect tree forcings defined by Prikry to answer a question of Solovay in the late 1960's regarding first failures of distributivity. Given a strictly increasing sequence of regular cardinals $\langle…
Given a number field $F_0$ that contains no Hilbert class field of any imaginary quadratic field, we show that under GRH there exists an effectively computable constant $B:=B(F_0)\in\mathbb{Z}^+$ for which the following holds: for any…
Suppose $X$ is a real or complexified Banach space containing a complemented copy of $\ell_p$, $p\in(1,2)$, and a copy (not necessarily complemented) of either $\ell_q$, $q\in(p,\infty)$, or $c_0$. Then $\mathcal{L}(X)$ and…
Some models of combinatorial principles have been obtained by collapsing a huge cardinal in the case of the successors of regular cardinals. For example, saturated ideals, Chang's conjecture, polarized partition relations, and transfer…
Since being isolated by Viale and Weiss in 2009, the Guessing Model Property has emerged as a particularly prominent and powerful consequence of the Proper Forcing Axiom. In this paper, we investigate connections between variations of the…
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).
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 prove various iteration theorems for forcing classes related to subproper and subcomplete forcing, introduced by Jensen. In the first part, we use revised countable support iterations, and show that 1) the class of subproper,…
If $\kappa$ is regular and $2^{<\kappa}\leq\kappa^+$, then the existence of a weakly presaturated ideal on $\kappa^+$ implies $\square^*_\kappa$. This partially answers a question of Foreman and Magidor about the approachability ideal on…
We consider cardinal invariants determined from Hausdorff measures. We separate many cardinal invariants of Hausdorff measure $0$ ideals using two models that separate many cardinal invariants of Yorioka ideals at once from earlier work.…
We study the influence of strong forcing axioms on the complexity of the non-stationary ideal on $\omega_2$ and its restrictions to certain cofinalities. Our main result shows that the strengthening $MM^{++}$ of Martin's Maximum does not…
Justin Moore's weak club-guessing principle $\mho$ admits various possible generalizations to the second uncountable cardinal. One of them was shown to hold in ZFC by Shelah. A stronger one was shown to follow from several consequences of…
Let H be a homology theory for algebraic varieties over a field k. To a complete k-variety X, one naturally attaches an ideal of the coefficient ring H(k). We show that, when X is regular, this ideal depends only on the upper Chow motive of…
In this paper, we study the congruences, prime filters and prime ideals of horizontal sums of bounded lattices, then, through a construction based on horizontal sums and without enforcing the Continuum Hypothesis, we are modifying an…
We reformulate slightly Russell's notion of typicality, so as to eliminate its circularity and make it applicable to elements of any first-order structure. We argue that the notion parallels Martin-L\"{o}f (ML) randomness, in the sense that…
We define and investigate versions of Silver and Mathias forcing with respect to lower and upper density. We focus on properness, Axiom A, chain conditions, preservation of cardinals and adding Cohen reals. We find rough forcings that…
We study the regularity and the algebraic properties of certain lattice ideals. We establish a map I --> I\~ between the family of graded lattice ideals in an N-graded polynomial ring over a field K and the family of graded lattice ideals…
