This is a continuation of "Some results on nonstationry ideal". The upper bound on precipitousness of NS_lambda^+ for a regular lambda given in this paper is proved to be exact.It is shown that saturatedness of NS_kappa^aleph_0 over…

Our main result is that possibly some non-null set of reals cannot be divided to uncountably many non-null sets. We deal also with a non-null set of reals, the graph of any function from it is null and deal with our iterations somewhat more…

We show that, under the assumption of the existence of $M_1^{\#}$, there exists a model on which the restricted nonstationary ideal $\hbox{NS} \upharpoonright A$ is $\aleph_2$-saturated, for $A$ a stationary co-stationary subset of…

We show that the reduced cofinality of the nonstationary ideal NS_kappa on a regular uncountable cardinal kappa may be less than its cofinality, where the reduced cofinality of NS_kappa is the least cardinality of any family F of…

Suppose that lambda is the successor of a singular cardinal mu whose cofinality is an uncountable cardinal kappa. We give a sufficient condition that the club filter of lambda concentrating on the points of cofinality kappa is not…

A theory $T$ is said to have exact saturation at a singular cardinal $\kappa$ if it has a $\kappa$-saturated model which is not $\kappa^{+}$-saturated. We show, under some set-theoretic assumptions, that any simple theory has exact…

If $\kappa$ is regular and $2^{<\kappa}\leq\kappa^+$, then the existence of a weakly presaturated ideal on $\kappa^+$ implies $\square^*_\kappa$. This partially answers a question of Foreman and Magidor about the approachability ideal on…

We show that Kunen's saturated ideal over $\aleph_1$ is not centered. We also evaluate the extent of saturation of Laver's saturated ideal in terms of $(\kappa,\lambda,<\nu)$-saturation.

We study reduced products $M=\prod_n M_n/\mathrm{Fin}$ of countable structures in a countable language associated with the Fr\'echet ideal. We prove that such $M$ is $2^{\aleph_0}$-saturated if its theory is stable and not…

We streamline treatments of the interpretability orders $\trianglelefteq^*_\kappa$ of Shelah, the key new notion being that of pseudosaturation. Extending work of Malliaris and Shelah, we classify the interpretability orders on the stable…

We show that it is consistent relative to a huge cardinal that for all infinite cardinals $\kappa$, $\square_\kappa$ holds and there is a stationary $S \subseteq \kappa^+$ such that $\mathrm{NS}_{\kappa^+} \restriction S$ is…

We revisit several results concerning club principles and nonsaturation of the nonstationary ideal, attempting to improve them in various ways. So we typically deal with a (non necessarily normal) ideal $J$ extending the nonstationary ideal…

We continue our investigation =of Shelah's interpretability orders $\trianglelefteq^*_\kappa$ as well as the new orders $\trianglelefteq^\times_\kappa$. In particular, we give streamlined proofs of the existence of minimal unstable,…

Saturation is (mu,kappa)-transferable in T if and only if there is an expansion T_1 of T with |T_1| = |T| such that if M is a mu-saturated model of T_1 and |M| \geq kappa then the reduct M|L(T) is kappa-saturated. We characterize theories…

In a self-contained way, we deal with revised countable support iterated forcing for the reals. We improve theorems on preservation of the property UP, weaker than semi proper, and we hopefully improve the presentation. We continue [Sh:b,…

We introduce a simplified framework for ord-transitive models and Shelah's non elementary proper (nep) theory. We also introduce a new construction for the countable support nep iteration.

We prove that a large class of presaturated ideals at inaccessible cardinals can be de-saturated while preserving their presaturation, answering both a question of Foreman and of Cox and Eskew. We do so by iterating a generalized version of…

For each vector $x\in \ell^{\infty}$, we can define the non-empty compact set $L_x$ of accumulation points of $x$. Given an infinite subset $A$ of $\mathbb{N}\backslash\{1\}$, we can therefore investigate under which conditions on $A$, the…

The famous Tits' alternative states that a linear group either contains a nonabelian free group or is soluble-by-(locally finite). We study in this paper similar alternatives in pseudofinite groups. We show for instance that an…

Let $\mathcal{S}$ be an iterated function system in $\mathbb{R}^d$, with full support and some restrictions on the allowable rotations. We show that $\mathcal{S}$ satisfies the weak separation condition if and only if it satisfies the…
