We build a supercompact version of the forcing defined in \cite{gitik2019}. For each singular cardinal in the ground model with any fixed cofinality, which is a limit of supercompact cardinals, it is possible to force so that the size of…

Let l^0 and m^0 be the ideals associated with Laver and Miller forcing, respectively. We show that add (l^0) < cov(l^0) and add (m^0) < cov(m^0) are consistent. We also show that both Laver and Miller forcing collapse the continuum to a…

We prove two general results about the preservation of extendible and $C^{(n)}$-extendible cardinals under a wide class of forcing iterations (Theorems 5.4 and 7.5). As applications we give new proofs of the preservation of Vop\v{e}nka's…

The ``dilaton'', the Goldstone boson of spontaneously broken conformal field theories (in flat spacetime), is argued to provide a surprisingly provocative scalar analog of gravity. Many precise parallels and contrasts are drawn. In…

We develop a new method for building forcing iterations with symmetric systems of structures as side conditions. Using our method we prove that the forcing axiom for the class of all the small finitely proper posets is compatible with a…

We prove that various classical tree forcings -- for instance Sacks forcing, Mathias forcing, Laver forcing, Miller forcing and Silver forcing -- preserve the statement that every real has a sharp and hence analytic determinacy. We then…

We prove that, consistently, there exists a weakly but not strongly inaccessible cardinal $\lambda$ for which the sequence $\langle 2^\theta:\theta<\lambda\rangle$ is not eventually constant and the weak diamond fails at $\lambda$. We also…

We introduce an iteration of forcing notions satisfying the countable chain condition with minimal damage to a strong coloring. Applying this method, we prove that Martin's axiom is strictly stronger than its restriction to forcing notions…

We prove, e.g., that if lambda=chi^+=2^chi and S subseteq {delta<lambda:cf(delta) neq cf(chi)} is stationary then diamondsuit_lambda holds true.

We give an example of iteration of length omega of (<kappa)-complete kappa^+-cc forcing notions with the limit collapsing kappa^+. The construction is decoded from the proof of Shelah [Proper and Improper Forcing, Appendix, Theorem 3.6(1)].

After small forcing, any < kappa-closed forcing will destroy the supercompactness, even the strong compactness, of kappa .

Given a forcing notion $P$ that forces certain values to several classical cardinal characteristics of the reals, we show how we can compose $P$ with a collapse (of a cardinal $\lambda>\kappa$ to $\kappa$) such that the composition still…

The purpose of this paper is to present a general method for forcing on $\omega_2$ and $\omega_3$ with finite conditions, while preserving all cardinals and some fragments of $\mathrm{GCH}$. This method is based on the technique of forcing…

We give some sufficient and necessary conditions on a forcing notion Q for preserving the forcing notion ([omega]^{aleph_0},supseteq^*) is proper. They cover many reasonable forcing notions.

In the first part of this paper, we consider several natural axioms in urelement set theory, including the Collection Principle, the Reflection Principle, the Dependent Choice scheme and its generalizations, as well as other axioms…

In this paper we answer several questions in arXiv:2102.06009 regarding density variants of Mathias and Silver forcing. These questions include whether each of the forcing is proper, add dominating real, or add Cohen real. We also…

We construct a (bi)cyclic sieving phenomenon on the union of dominant maximal weights for level $\ell$ highest weight modules over an affine Kac-Moody algebra with exactly one highest weight being taken for each equivalence class, in a way…

For materials science, diamond crystals are almost unrivaled for hardness and a range of other properties. Yet, when simply abstracting the carbon bonding structure as a geometric bar-and-joint periodic framework, it is far from rigid. We…

In this paper we analyse some notions of amoeba for tree forcings. In particular we introduce an amoeba-Silver and prove that it satisfies quasi pure decision but not pure decision. Further we define an amoeba-Sacks and prove that it…

We analyze some posets involved in forcing constructions for dense ideals, showing that the Anonymous Collapse and the Dual Shioya Collapse are equivalent for collapsing a large cardinal to $\omega_2$. We also give a somewhat simplified…
