A survey of recent results concerning cardinal invariants of measure and category. Submitted as a chapter of the upcoming Handbook of Set Theory.
We investigate several relations between cardinal characteristics of the continuum related with the asymptotic density of the natural numbers and some known cardinal invariants. Specifically, we study the cardinals of the form…
We study the possible interpretation of the "universal constants" by the classification of J.~M.~L\'evy-Leblond. $\hbar$ and $c$ are the most common example of constants of this type. Using Fock's principle of the relativity w.r.t.…
Given any $\lambda\leq\kappa$, we construct a symmetric extension in which there is a set $X$ such that $\aleph(X)=\lambda$ and $\aleph^*(X)=\kappa$. Consequently, we show that $\mathsf{ZF}+$"For all pairs of infinite cardinals…
We introduce several notions and give examples. We prove that ${\rm Stab}(D^b(K(l)))\cong {\mathbb C}\times \mathcal H$ for $l\geq 3$, where $K(l)$ is $l$-Kronecker quiver. This is an example of SOD, where ${\rm Stab}( \langle \mathcal…
We like to develop model theory for $T$, a complete theory in $\mathbb{L}_{\theta,\theta}(\tau)$ when $\theta$ is a compact cardinal. By [Sh:300a] we have bare bones stability and it seemed we can go no further. Dealing with ultrapowers…
For an infinite cardinal mu, MAD(mu) denotes the set of all cardinalities of nontrivial maximal almost disjoint families over mu. Erdos and Hechler proved the consistency of [mu in MAD(mu)] for a singular cardinal mu and asked if it was…
We give two results on guessing unbounded subsets of lambda^+. The first is a positive result and applies to the situation of lambda regular and at least equal to aleph_3, while the second is a negative consistency result which applies to…
We prove that if there is an elementary embedding from the universe to itself, then there is a proper class of measurable successor cardinals.
We argue that we solved Hilbert's first problem positively (after reformulating it just to avoid the known consistency results) and give some applications. Let lambda to the revised power of kappa, denoted lambda^{[kappa]}, be the minimal…
We show that if a Lagrangian is invariant under a transformation (with the invariance defined in the standard manner), then the equations of motion obtained from it maintain their form under the transformation. We also show that the…
Buchstaber invariant is a numerical characteristic of a simplicial complex, arising from torus actions on moment-angle complexes. In the paper we study the relation between Buchstaber invariants and classical invariants of simplicial…
We introduce a natural two-cardinal version of Bagaria's sequence of derived topologies on ordinals. We prove that for our sequence of two-cardinal derived topologies, limit points of sets can be characterized in terms of a new iterated…
In this work we will study the universal labeling algebra A(Gamma), a related algebra B(Gamma), and their behavior as invariants of layered graphs. We will introduce the notion of an upper vertex-like basis, which allows us to recover…
Let omega be the first infinite ordinal (or the set of all natural numbers) with the usual order <. In section 1 we show that, assuming the consistency of a supercompact cardinal, there may exist an ultrapower of omega, whose cardinality is…
The standard LambdaCDM cosmology passes demanding tests that establish it as a good approximation to reality. It is incomplete, with open questions and anomalies, but the same is true of all our physical theories. The anomalies in the…
We extend Solovay's theorem about definable subsets of the Baire space to the generalized Baire space ${}^\lambda\lambda$, where $\lambda$ is an uncountable cardinal with $\lambda^{<\lambda}=\lambda$. In the first main theorem, we show that…
We consider further consequences of recently [1] revealed role of cosmological constant \Lambda as of a physical constant, along with the gravitational one to define the gravity i.e. the General Relativity and its low-energy limit. We now…
Developing a system of parallel non-linear iterations, we establish the consistency of $\mathfrak{b}<\mathfrak{s}<\mathfrak{d}<\mathfrak{c}$ where $\mathfrak{b}, \mathfrak{d}, \mathfrak{c}$ are arbitrary subject to the known ZFC…
A ballean is a set $X$ endowed with some family $\F$ of its subsets, called the balls, in such a way that $(X,\F)$ can be considered as an asymptotic counterpart of a uniform topological space. Given a cardinal $\kappa$, we define $\F$…
