We ask for a given system of polynomials f_1,...,f_n and f over the complex numbers when there exist continuous functions q_1,...,q_n such that q_1 f_1+...+q_n f_n = f. This condition defines the continuous closure of an ideal. We give…
We develop a new method for building forcing iterations with symmetric systems of structures as side conditions. Using our method we prove that the forcing axiom for the class of all the small finitely proper posets is compatible with a…
The purpose of this article is to prove that the forcing axiom for completely proper forcings is inconsistent with the Continuum Hypothesis. This answers a longstanding problem of Shelah. The corresponding completely proper forcing which…
In this paper we show that forcings which are strongly proper for stationarily many countable elementary submodels preserve each of the following properties of topological spaces: countably tight; Lindel\"of; Rothberger; Menger; and a…
We study the influence of strong forcing axioms on the complexity of the non-stationary ideal on $\omega_2$ and its restrictions to certain cofinalities. Our main result shows that the strengthening $MM^{++}$ of Martin's Maximum does not…
If T has only countably many complete types, yet has a type of infinite multiplicity then there is a ccc forcing notion Q such that, in any Q --generic extension of the universe, there are non-isomorphic models M_1 and M_2 of T that can be…
We introduce more properties of forcing notions which imply that their lambda-support iterations are lambda-proper, where lambda is an inaccessible cardinal. This paper is a direct continuation of section A.2 of math.LO/0210205. As an…
We introduce the forcing property "almost strong properness" which sits between properness and strong properness. As an application, we introduce a simple forcing with finite conditions to force $\rm MRP$.
We give an exposition of an iteration theorem for iterating $(<\lambda)$-closed stationary $\lambda^+$-cc forcing with supports of size $<\lambda$ and preserving these two properties. We discuss the relation of this theorem with other…
We introduce bounded category forcing axioms for well-behaved classes $\Gamma$. These are strong forms of bounded forcing axioms which completely decide the theory of some initial segment of the universe $H_{\lambda_\Gamma^+}$ modulo…
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…
Assuming that ORD is $\omega +\omega $-Erd\"os we show that if a class forcing amenable to $L$ (an $L$-forcing) has a generic then it has one definable in a set-generic extension of $L[O^\#]$. In fact we may choose such a generic to be {\it…
We start by surveying the history of the idea of a fundamental conservation law and briefly examine the role conservation laws play in different classical contexts. In such contexts we find conservation laws to be useful, but often not…
We suggest a forcing version of Yablo's paradox and discuss its implication on self-reference.
This expository paper covers the first two sections of chapter VI of Shelah's book "Proper and Improper Forcing," including the preservationn (using CS iterations of proper forcings) of omega-omega bounding, Sacks property, Lavewr property,…
We show that the forcing axiom for countably compact, $\omega_2$-Knaster, well-met posets is inconsistent. This is supplemental to an inconsistency result of Shelah and sets a new limit to the generalization of Martin's Axiom to the stage…
We show that many countable support iterations of proper forcings preserve Souslin trees. We establish sufficient conditions in terms of games and we draw connections to other preservation properties. We present a proof of preservation…
We show that it is consistent with MA + the negation of CH, that the Forcing Axiom fails for all forcing notions in the class of omega^omega-bounding forcing notions with norms of "Norms on possibilities I: forcing with trees and…
We present a sufficient condition for irreducibility of forcing algebras and study the (non)-reducedness phenomenon. Furthermore, we prove a criterion for normality for forcing algebras over a polynomial base ring with coefficients in a…
The main result of this paper is a partial answer to [math.LO/9909115, Problem 5.5]: a finite iteration of Universal Meager forcing notions adds generic filters for many forcing notions determined by universality parameters. We also give…
