The results of the previous version are impoved. This basically completes the study of consistency strength of various gaps between a strong limit singular cardinal of cofinality omega and its power under GCH type assumptions below.
We give a new proof of the fundamental theorem of algebra. It is entirely elementary, focused on using long division to its fullest extent. Further, the method quickly recovers a more general version of the theorem recently obtained by…
We generalize the Hart-Shelah example \cite{HaSh:323} to higher infinitary logics. We build, for each natural number $k\geq 2$ and for each infinite cardinal $\lambda$, a sentence $\psi_k^\lambda$ of the logic $L_{(2^\lambda)^+,\omega}$…
For a cardinal of the form $\kappa=\beth_\kappa$, Shelah's logic $L^1_\kappa$ has a characterisation as the maximal logic above $\bigcup_{\lambda<\kappa} L_{\lambda, \omega}$ satisfying Strong Undefinability of Well Order (SUDWO). SUDWO is…
Under $\text{CH}$ we construct a partition of Baire space into compact sets, which is indestructible by countably supported iteration and product of Sacks forcing of any length, answering a question of Newelski. Further, we present an…
We provide a proof, in $ZFC$, of Shelah's eventual categoricity conjecture for abstract elementary classes (AEC's). Moreover, assuming in addition the Singular Cardinal Hypothesis ($SCH$), we prove a direct generalization to the more…
The purpose of this article is to prove that the forcing axiom for completely proper forcings is inconsistent with the Continuum Hypothesis. This answers a longstanding problem of Shelah. The corresponding completely proper forcing which…
In this paper, we present a converse to a version of Skoda's $L^2$ division theorem by investigating the solvability of $\bar{\partial}$ equations of a specific type.
Our original aim was, in Abelian group theory to prove the consistency of: lambda is strong limit singular and for some properties of abelian groups which are relatives of being free, the compactness in singular fails. In fact this should…
We prove new Skoda-type division, or ideal membership, theorems. We work in a geometric setting of line bundles over Kahler manifolds that are Stein away from an analytic subvariety. (This includes complex projective manifolds.) Our…
I point out a sign mistake in the GHZ variant of Bell's theorem, invalidating its claim that the premisses of the EPR argument are inconsistent for systems of more than two particles in entangled quantum states.
In this paper we study several partition relations, defined by Saharon Shelah, and relate them to the Hales-Jewett numbers. In particular we give an upper bound for the Hales-Jewett numbers using the primitive recursive function…
We formulate and prove (in {\sf ZFC}) a strong coloring theorem which holds at successors of singular cardinals, and use it to answer several questions concerning Shelah's principle $Pr_1(\mu^+,\mu^+,\mu^+,\cf(\mu))$ for singular $\mu$.
Let K be an abstract elementary class satisfying the joint embedding and the amalgamation properties. Let m be a cardinal above the the L\"owenheim-Skolem number of the class. Suppose K satisfies the disjoint amalgamation property for limit…
We prove the strong partition property for \delta^2_1 using methods from inner model theory.
In this paper, we study the partition theory over totally real number fields. Let $K$ be a totally real number field. A partition of a totally positive algebraic integer $\delta$ over $K$ is $\lambda=(\lambda_1,\lambda_2,\ldots,\lambda_r)$…
We prove a partition identity conjectured by Lassalle (Adv. in Appl. Math. 21 (1998), 457-472).
Let $\mathscr{S}$ denote the set of integer partitions into parts that differ by at least $3$, with the added constraint that no two consecutive multiples of $3$ occur as parts. We derive trivariate generating functions of Andrews--Gordon…
We force $2^\lambda$ to be large and for many pairs in the interval $(\lambda,2^\lambda)$ a stronger version of the polarized partition relations hold. We apply this toproblem in general topology
The study of the well-known partition function $p(n)$ counting the number of solutions to $n = a_{1} + \dots + a_{\ell}$ with integers $1 \leq a_{1} \leq \dots \leq a_{\ell}$ has a long history in combinatorics. In this paper, we study a…
