We study connections between definability in generalized descriptive set theory and large cardinals, under ZFC. We show that if $\kappa$ is a limit of measurables then there is no wellorder of a subset of $P(\kappa)$ of length…

We define a new class of infinitary logics $\mathscr L^1_{\kappa,\alpha}$ generalizing Shelah's logic $\mathbb L^1_\kappa$ defined in \cite{MR2869022}. If $\kappa=\beth_\kappa$ and $\alpha <\kappa$ is infinite then our logic coincides with…

We show that the definition of caliber given by Engelking in R. Engelking, "General topology", Sigma series in pure mathematics, Heldermann, vol. 6, 1989, which we will call caliber*, differs from the traditional notion of this concept in…

Introducing unfoldable cardinals last year, Andres Villaveces ingeniously extended the notion of weak compactness to a larger context, thereby producing a large cardinal notion, unfoldability, with some of the feel and flavor of weak…

In [8] the second and third authors showed that if the least inaccessible cardinal is the least measurable cardinal, then there is an inner model with $o(\kappa)\geq2$. In this paper we improve this to $o(\kappa)\geq\kappa+1$ and show that…

Let $\kappa$ be any regular cardinal. Assuming the existence of a huge cardinal above $\kappa$, we prove the consistency of $\binom{\kappa^{++}}{\kappa^+}\rightarrow\binom{\tau}{\kappa^+}$ for every ordinal $\tau<\kappa^{++}$. Likewise, we…

Suppose $\kappa$ is $\lambda$-supercompact witnessed by an elementary embedding $j:V\rightarrow M$ with critical point $\kappa$, and further suppose that $F$ is a function from the class of regular cardinals to the class of cardinals…

An inaccessible cardinal kappa is supercompact when (kappa, lambda)-ITP holds for all lambda greater than or equal to kappa. We prove that if there is a model of ZFC with infinitely many supercompact cardinals, then there is a model of ZFC…

We show, assuming a mild set-theoretic hypothesis, that if an abstract elementary class (AEC) has a superstable-like forking notion for models of cardinality $\lambda$ and a superstable-like forking notion for models of cardinality…

We provide a short proof of Shelah's eventual categoricity conjecture, assuming the Generalized Continuum Hypothesis ($GCH$), for abstract elementary classes (AEC's) with interpolation, a strengthening of amalgamation which is a necessary…

We show a new proof for the fact that when $\kappa$ and $\lambda$ are infinite cardinals satisfying $\lambda ^ \kappa = \lambda$, the cofinality of the set of all functions from $\lambda$ to $\kappa$ ordered by everywhere domination is…

We show that the condition of being categorical in a tail of cardinals can be characterized for the class of $R$-modules of the form $\Add(M)$. More precisely, let $R$ be a ring and $M$ be an $R$-module which can be generated by $\leq…

Given a regular cardinal $\kappa$ such that $\kappa^{<\kappa}=\kappa$ (e.g., if the Generalized Continuum Hypothesis holds), we develop a proof system for classical infinitary logic that includes heterogeneous quantification (i.e., infinite…

We study AECs without assuming the amalgamation property in general. We do assume the disjoint amalgamation property in a specific cardinality lambda and assume that there is no maximal model in \lambda. Under these hypotheses, we prove the…
