The category of (abstract) fans is to the category of monoids what the category of schemes is to the category of rings: a fan is obtained by gluing spectra of monoids along open embeddings. Here we study the basic algebraic geometry of…
Krueger showed that PFA implies that for all regular $\Theta \ge \aleph_2$, there are stationarily many $[H(\Theta)]^{\aleph_1}$ that are internally club but not internally approachable. From countably many Mahlo cardinals, we force a model…
We prove that if there exists a simplified $(\omega_1,2)$-morass, then there is a ccc forcing which adds an $\omega_3$-chain in P($\omega_1$) mod finite and a ccc forcing which adds a family of $\omega_3$-many strongly almost disjoint…
In the context of $\mathsf{ZF}+\mathsf{DC}$, we force $\mathsf{DC}_\kappa$ for relations on $\mathcal{P}(\kappa)$ for $\kappa{}<\aleph_\omega$ over the Chang model $\mathrm{L}(\mathrm{Ord}^\omega)$ making some assumptions on the thorn…
We show that all finite powers of a Hausdorff space X do not contain uncountable weakly separated subspaces iff there is a c.c.c poset P such that 1_P forces that ``X is a countable union of 0-dimensional subspaces of countable weight.'' We…
At HZB's BESSY II and PTB's Metrology Light Source (MLS) facilities we have the ability to tune the momentum compaction factor $\alpha$ up to second non-linear order. The non-linear dependence $\alpha(\delta)$ brings qualitative changes to…
The performance of a fan is usually estimated from hydrodynamical considerations. The calculations are long and involved and the results are expressed in terms of three affinity laws. In this work we use kinetic theory to attack this…
We develop a toolbox for forcing over arbitrary models of set theory without the axiom of choice. In particular, we introduce a variant of the countable chain condition and prove an iteration theorem that applies to many classical forcings…
We give a partial solution to a question by Alas, Junqueria and Wilson by proving that under PFA the one-point compactification of a locally compact, discretely generated and countably tight space is also discretely generated. After this,…
We define the zeta function of a finite category. And we propose a conjecture which states the relationship between the Euler characteristic of finite categories and the zeta function of finite categories. This conjecture is verified when…
Recently the second author introduced combinatorial principles that characterize supercompactness for inaccessible cardinals but can also hold true for small cardinals. We prove that the proper forcing axiom PFA implies these principles…
The squeezing problem on $\mathbb{C}$ can be stated as follows. Suppose that $\Omega$ is a multiply connected domain in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ containing the origin $z=0$. How far can the boundary of $\Omega$ be pushed from the origin…
A function space, $L^{\theta,\infty)}(\Omega)$, $0 \leq \theta <\infty$, is defined. It is proved that $L^{\theta,\infty)}(\Omega)$ is a Banach space which is a generalization of exponential class. An alternative definition of…
Infinite time Turing machine models with tape length $\alpha$, denoted $T_\alpha$, strengthen the machines of Hamkins and Kidder [HL00] with tape length $\omega$. A new phenomenon is that for some countable ordinals $\alpha$, some cells…
QCD and related gauge theories have a sign problem when a $\theta$-term is included; this complicates the extraction of physical information from Euclidean space calculations as one would do in lattice studies. The sign problem arises in…
We prove forcing axiom equivalents of two families of weakenings of the axiom of choice: a trichotomy principle for cardinals isolated by L\'evy, ${\rm H\hskip0.05pt}_\kappa$, and ${\rm DC}_\kappa$, the principle of dependent choices…
Two closely related classes of topological spaces are fences and fans. A fence is a compact metric space whose components are either arcs or singletons. A fan is a continuum formed by joining arcs at a common vertex, in such a way that…
We introduce a class of notions of forcing which we call $\Sigma$-Prikry, and show that many of the known Prikry-type notions of forcing that centers around singular cardinals of countable cofinality are $\Sigma$-Prikry. We show that given…
We show that as $T\to \infty$, for all $t\in [T,2T]$ outside of a set of measure $\mathrm{o}(T)$, $$ \int_{-(\log T)^{\theta}}^{(\log T)^{\theta}} |\zeta(\tfrac 12 + \mathrm{i} t + \mathrm{i} h)|^{\beta} \mathrm{d} h = (\log…
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…
