This is a report on state-of-the-art on the question of developing higher analogues of the forcing axiom PFA. Recently there have been several attempts to develop forcing axioms analogous to the proper forcing axiom (PFA) for cardinals of…
We investigate the complexity of modal satisfiability for certain combinations of modal logics. In particular we examine four examples of multimodal logics with dependencies and demonstrate that even if we restrict our inputs to…
The static patch of de Sitter spacetime and the Rindler wedge of Minkowski spacetime are causal diamonds admitting a true Killing field, and they behave as thermodynamic equilibrium states under gravitational perturbations. We explore the…
If T has only countably many complete types, yet has a type of infinite multiplicity then there is a ccc forcing notion Q such that, in any Q --generic extension of the universe, there are non-isomorphic models M_1 and M_2 of T that can be…
What are the most general principles in set theory relating forceability and truth? As with Solovay's celebrated analysis of provability, both this question and its answer are naturally formulated with modal logic. We aim to do for…
Let $G=(V,E)$ be a graph. A subset $D\subseteq V$ is a dominating set if every vertex not in $D$ is adjacent to a vertex in $D$. A dominating set $D$ is called a total dominating set if every vertex in $D$ is adjacent to a vertex in $D$.…
We consider the modality "$\varphi$ is true in every $\sigma$-centered forcing extension", denoted $\square\varphi$, and its dual "$\varphi$ is true in some $\sigma$-centered forcing extension", denoted $\lozenge\varphi$ (where $\varphi$ is…
Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{C}$ be a bounded domain such that there exists an algebraic harmonic function of degree two vanishing on the boundary of $\Omega.$ Then we show that the Khavinson-Shapiro conjecture holds for $\Omega:$ if the…
Let $\mathsf{MM}^{++}(\kappa)$ state that the forcing axiom $\mathsf{MM}^{++}$ can be instantiated only for stationary set preserving posets of size at most $\kappa$. We give a detailed account of Asper\`o and Schindler's proof that…
This is an overview about a method of constructing ccc forcings: Suppose first that a continuous, commutative system of complete embeddings between countable forcings indexed along $\omega_1$ is given. Then its direct limit satisfies ccc by…
Foreman proved the Duality Theorem, which gives an algebraic characterization of certain ideal quotients in generic extensions. As an application he proved that generic supercompactness of $\omega_1$ is preserved by any proper forcing. We…
I prove preservation theorems for countable support iteration of proper forcing concerning certain classes of capacities and submeasures. New examples of forcing notions and connections with measure theory are included.
We deal with the fragment of modal logic consisting of implications of formulas built up from the variables and the constant `true' by conjunction and diamonds only. The weaker language allows one to interpret the diamonds as the uniform…
We use forcing over admissible sets to show that, for every ordinal $\alpha$ in a club $C\subset\omega_1$, there are copies of $\alpha$ such that the isomorphism between them is not computable in the join of the complete $\Pi^1_1$ set…
For $f,g\in\omega^\omega$ let $c^\forall_{f,g}$ be the minimal number of uniform $g$-splitting trees needed to cover the uniform $f$-splitting tree, i.e., for every branch $\nu$ of the $f$-tree, one of the $g$-trees contains $\nu$. Let…
The purpose of this paper is to present some results which suggest that the Singular Cardinals Hypothesis follows from the Proper Forcing Axiom. What will be proved is that a form of simultaneous reflection follows from the Set Mapping…
We prove the consistency of: for suitable strongly inaccessible cardinal lambda the dominating number, i.e. the cofinality of lambda^lambda is strictly bigger than cov(meagre_lambda), i.e. the minimal number of nowhere dense subsets of…
We show that it is consistent from an inaccessible cardinal that classical Namba forcing has the weak $\omega_1$-approximation property. In fact, this is the case if $\aleph_1$-preserving forcings do not add cofinal branches to…
The class forcing theorem, which asserts that every class forcing notion $\mathbb{P}$ admits a forcing relation $\Vdash_{\mathbb{P}}$, that is, a relation satisfying the forcing relation recursion -- it follows that statements true in the…
Reports published in the last 25 years on the synthesis of carbon-based materials significantly superior to diamond in hardness and elastic properties have been critically examined, and three groups of recently appearing myths have been…
