We present a notion of forcing that can be used, in conjunction with other results, to show that there is a Martin-L\"of random set X such that X does not compute 0' and X computes every K-trivial set.

We prove a magnetic version of the Maz'ya-Shaposhnikova singular limit of nonlocal norms with vanishing fractional parameter. This complements a general convergence result recently obtained by authors when the parameter approaches one.

We prove conservativity results for weak K\H{o}nig's lemma that extend the celebrated result of Harrington (for $\Pi^1_1$-statements) and are somewhat orthogonal to the extension by Simpson, Tanaka and Yamazaki (for statements of the form…

Forcing axioms are generalizations of Baire category principles that allow one to intersect more dense open sets and to do so in a wider variety of circumstances. In this paper we introduce two new forcing axioms related to posets which…

We study minimizers of the Allen-Cahn system. We consider the $ \varepsilon $-energy functional with Dirichlet values and we establish the $ \Gamma $-limit. The minimizers of the limiting functional are closely related to minimizing…

In this part, we prove several quantitative results concerning with the Szego minimum problem for classes of measure on the unit circle concentrated on small subsets. As a by-product, we refute one conjecture of Nevai. This note can be read…

Chang's Conjecture (CC) asserts that for every $F:[\omega_2]^{<\omega} \to \omega_2$, there exists an $X$ that is closed under $F$ such that $|X|=\omega_1$ and $|X \cap \omega_1| =\omega$. By classic results of Silver and Donder, CC is…

We confirm Martin's conjecture for a broad subclass of weakly quasi-o-minimal theories.

Let m be the least cardinal k such that MA(k) fails. The only known model for "m is singular" was constructed by Kunen. In Kunen's model cof(m)=omega_1. It is unknown whether "omega_1 < cof(m) < m" is consistent. The purpose of this paper…

In the previous work [Interfaces Free Bound., 19, 351-369, 2017], de Queiroz and Shahgholian investigated the regularity of the solution to the obstacle problem with singular logarithmic forcing term \begin{equation*} -\Delta u = \log u \,…

We prove that if $(M,\mathcal{X})$ and $(M,\mathcal{Y})$ are countable models of the theory $\mathrm{WKL}^*_0$ such that $\mathrm{I}\Sigma_1(A)$ fails for some $A \in \mathcal{X} \cap \mathcal{Y}$, then $(M,\mathcal{X})$ and…

We give another bit of evidence that forcing axioms provide proper framework for rigidity of quotient structures, by improving the OCA lifting theorem proved by the author in late 20th century and greatly simplifying its proof. In the…

I prove forcing preservation theorems for products of definable partial orders preserving the cofinality of the meager or null ideal. Rectangular Ramsey theorems for related ideals follow from the proofs.

This note addresses the continuum problem, taking advantage of the breakthrough mentioned in the subtitle, and relating it to many recent advances occurring in set theory.

We construct a model of $\mathsf{MA_{\aleph_1}}+\mathsf{OCA}_T$ where Baumgartner's Axiom fails, settling a question of Farah. Moreover, in the same model there is an $\aleph_1$-dense set of reals which is neither reversible nor increasing,…

In \cite{MV} we defined and proved the consistency of the principle ${\rm GM}^+(\omega_3,\omega_1)$ which implies that many consequences of strong forcing axioms hold simultaneously at $\omega_2$ and $\omega_3$. In this paper we formulate a…

Fix 2<n<\omega. Let L_n denote first order logic restricted to the first n variables. CA_n denotes the class of cylindric algebras of dimension n and for m>n, Nr_n\CA_m(\subseteq CA_n) denotes the class of n-neat reducts of CA_m's. The…

The Proper Forcing Axiom implies all automorphisms of every Calkin algebra associated with an infinite-dimensional complex Hilbert space and the ideal of compact operators are inner. As a means of the proof we introduce the notion of Polish…

In this paper we consider the Foreman's maximality principle, which says that any non-trivial forcing notion either adds a new real or collapses some cardinals. We prove the consistency of some of its consequences. We prove that it is…

This is an expository paper for Chapter 6 of Proper and Improper Forcing. Now includes an exposition of Shelah's proof of preservation of Sacks property as well as omega-omega bounding.
