We give a proof of the $A_2$ conjecture in geometrically doubling metric spaces (GDMS), i.e. a metric space where one can fit not more than a fixed amount of disjoint balls of radius $r$ in a ball of radius $2r$. Our proof consists of three…
We consider several variants of Baumgartner's axiom for $\aleph_1$-dense sets defined on the Baire and Cantor spaces in terms of Lipschitz functions with respect to the usual metric. A variation of Baumgartner's original argument shows that…
The simple continued fractions for the Golden & Silver means are well-known. It is astonishing that, as far as we know, no one has published half-iterates (let alone quarter-iterates) for the corresponding algorithms. We also examine the…
We compare two methods of proving separable reduction theorems in functional analysis -- the method of rich families and the method of elementary submodels. We show that any result proved using rich families holds also when formulated with…
We prove a theorem on iterated forcing that can be used for preservation of $\aleph_2$ and $\aleph_1$ in iterations with supports of size $\aleph_1$ of forcings that have amalgamation properties similar to those present in the perfect set…
We wonder if a cyclic universe may be dominated alternatively by matter and antimatter. Such a scenario demands a mechanism for transformation of matter to antimatter (or antimatter to matter) during the final stage of a big crunch. By…
It is consistent that there is a set mapping from the four-tuples of omega_n into the finite subsets with no free subsets of size t_n for some natural number t_n. For any n< omega it is consistent that there is a set mapping from the pairs…
We argue that no theoretical model of quantum gravity in a causal diamond whose boundary has finite maximal area, can be verified with arbitrary precision by experiments done in that diamond. This shows in particular that if our own…
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…
In this paper, we prove an inequality on the cardinalities of the minimum size global defensive alliance and the minimum size global offensive alliance. A global defensive alliance is a dominating set such that when any point inside a…
David Aspero asks on the possibility of having Forcing axiom FA_{aleph_2}(K), where K is the class of forcing notions preserving stationarity of subsets of aleph_1 and of aleph_2. We answer negatively, in fact we show the negative result…
An abelian group is said to be aleph_1-free if all its countable subgroups are free. Our main result is: If R is a ring with R^+ free and |R|<lambda <= 2^{aleph_0}, then there exists an aleph_1-free abelian group G of cardinality lambda…
We prove that the strong polarized relation for the continuum holds for $\aleph_0$ and for every supercompact cardinal. We use iteration of Mathias forcing.
Various theorems for the preservation of set-theoretic axioms under forcing are proved, regarding both forcing axioms and axioms true in the Levy-Collapse. These show in particular that certain applications of forcing axioms require to add…
We deal with the problem of existence of uncountable co-Hopfian abelian groups and (absolute) Hopfian abelian groups. Firstly, we prove that there are no co-Hopfian reduced abelian groups $G$ of size $< \mathfrak{p}$ with infinite…
We develop a toolbox for forcing over arbitrary models of set theory without the axiom of choice. In particular, we introduce a variant of the countable chain condition and prove an iteration theorem that applies to many classical forcings…
The main aim of the article is to show, in the absence of the Axiom of Choice, relationships between the following, independent of $\mathbf{ZF}$, statements: "Every countable product of compact metrizable spaces is separable (respectively,…
In the paper we discussed the observational aspects of rotation in the Universe on different scales. We show dependence between the angular momentum of the structures and their size. The presented observational situation is that the…
We track the evolution of entropy and black holes in a cyclic universe that undergoes repeated intervals of expansion followed by slow contraction and a smooth (non-singular) bounce. In this kind of cyclic scenario, there is no big crunch…
The main observation of this paper is that some sequential weak compactness arguments in Hilbert space theory can be replaced by Heine/Borel compactness arguments (for the strong topology). Even though the latter form of compactness fails…
