We show that from a supercompact cardinal \kappa, there is a forcing extension V[G] that has a symmetric inner model N in which ZF + not AC holds, \kappa\ and \kappa^+ are both singular, and the continuum function at \kappa\ can be…

Let $U$ be an open set in $\mathbb{R}^d$. A continuous function $f\colon U \to \mathbb{R}$ is strongly nowhere differentiable if and only if for each $\gamma\in(0,1]$ and for each unit speed $C^{1,\gamma}$ curve $c\colon [a,b] \to U$, the…

Let $C({\mathbb R}^n)$ denote the set of real valued continuous functions defined on ${\mathbb R}^n$. We prove that for every $n\ge 2$ there are positive numbers $\lambda _1 , \ldots , \lambda _n$ and continuous functions $\phi_1 ,\ldots ,…

We contribute to the study of generalizations of the Perfect Set Property and the Baire Property to subsets of spaces of higher cardinalities, like the power set $P(\lambda)$ of a singular cardinal $\lambda$ of countable cofinality or…

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…

This work is a part of my upcoming thesis [7]. We establish an equiconsistency between (1) weak indestructibility for all $\kappa +2$-degrees of strength for cardinals $\kappa $ in the presence of a proper class of strong cardinals, and (2)…

We show that (1) If ZF is consistent then the following theory is consistent "ZF + DC(omega_{1}) + Every set of reals has Baire property" and (2) If ZF is consistent then the following theory is consistent "ZFC + `every projective set of…

Let $X$ be a Polish space and $K$ a separable compact subset of the first Baire class on $X$. For every sequence $\bs$ dense in $\kk$, the descriptive set-theoretic properties of the set \[ \lbf=\{L\in[\nn]: (f_n)_{n\in L} \text{is…

This paper defines a Mitchell rank for supercompact cardinals. If $\kappa$ is a $\theta$-supercompact cardinal then $o_{\theta-sc}(\kappa) = \sup \{ o_{\theta-sc}(\mu) + 1 \ | \ \mu \in m(\kappa)\}$, where $m(\kappa)$ is the collection of…

We define a family of three related reducibilities, $\leq_T$, $\leq_{tt}$ and $\leq_m$, for arbitrary functions $f,g:X\rightarrow\mathbb R$, where $X$ is a compact separable metric space. The $\equiv_T$-equivalence classes mostly coincide…

We discuss some problems posed by Ciesielski. For example we show that, consistently, d_c is a singular cardinal and e_c<d_c. Next we prove that the Martin Axiom for sigma --centered forcing notions implies that for every function f:R^2…

We study the uniform computational content of different versions of the Baire Category Theorem in the Weihrauch lattice. The Baire Category Theorem can be seen as a pigeonhole principle that states that a complete (i.e., "large") metric…

Under the assumption that $\delta$ is a Woodin cardinal and $\GCH$ holds, I show that if $F$ is any class function from the regular cardinals to the cardinals such that (1) $\kappa<\cf(F(\kappa))$, (2) $\kappa<\lambda$ implies…

We study the influence of the existence of large cardinals on the existence of wellorderings of power sets of infinite cardinals $\kappa$ with the property that the collection of all initial segments of the wellordering is definable by a…

We prove a revised version of Laver's indestructibility theorem which slightly improves over the classical result. An application yields the consistency of $(\kappa^+,\kappa)\notcc(\aleph\_1,\aleph\_0)$ when $\kappa$ is supercompact. The…

In this paper for each cardinal $\kappa$ we construct an infinite $\kappa$-bounded (and hence countably compact) regular space $R_{\kappa}$ such that for any $T_1$ space $Y$ of pseudo-character $\leq\kappa$, each continuous function…

We present new, streamlined proofs of certain maximality principles studied by Hamkins and Woodin. Moreover, we formulate an intermediate maximality principle, which is shown here to be equiconsistent with the existence of a weakly compact…

A simple \(P_\lambda\)-point on a regular cardinal \(\kappa\) is a uniform ultrafilter on \(\kappa\) with a mod-bounded decreasing generating sequence of length \(\lambda\). We prove that if there is a simple $P_\lambda$-point ultrafilter…

We give a new characterization of the Baire class 1 functions (defined on an ultrametric space) by proving that they are exactly the pointwise limits of sequences of full functions (which are particularly simple Lipschitz functions).…

W. Hurewicz proved that analytic Menger sets of reals are $\sigma$-compact and that co-analytic completely Baire sets of reals are completely metrizable. It is natural to try to generalize these theorems to projective sets. This has…
