I isolate a combinatorial property of a poset $\mathbb{P}$ that I call the strong Prikry property, which implies the existence of an ultrafilter on the complete Boolean algebra $\mathbb{B}$ of $\mathbb{P}$ such that one inclusion of the…
We characterize sums of normal ultrafilters after the Magidor iteration (product) of Prikry forcings over a discrete set of measurable cardinals. We apply this to show that the weak Ultrapower Axiom is not equivalent to the Ultrapower…
We study the Magidor iteration of Prikry forcings below a measurable limit of measurables $ \kappa $. We first characterize all the normal measures $ \kappa $ carries in the generic extension, building on and extending the main result of…
Boolean ultrapowers extend the classical ultrapower construction to work with ultrafilters on any complete Boolean algebra, rather than only on a power set algebra. When they are well-founded, the associated Boolean ultrapower embeddings…
The purpose of this paper is to investigate forcing as a tool to construct universal models. In particular, we look at theories of initial segments of the universe and show that any model of a sufficiently rich fragment of those theories…
For certain weak versions of the Axiom of Choice (most notably, the Boolean Prime Ideal theorem), we obtain equivalent formulations in terms of partial orders, and filter-like objects within them intersecting certain dense sets or…
Based on the work of Shelah, Kellner, and T\u{a}nasie (Fund. Math., 166(1-2):109-136, 2000 and Comment. Math. Univ. Carolin., 60(1):61-95, 2019), and the recent developments in the third author's master's thesis, we develop a general theory…
This paper is meant to present in a coherent way several instances of quite common phenomena that was first identified (independently) by Bukovsk\'y and Dehornoy. We present the basic result for Prikry type forcing and show how to extend it…
We study the interplay between properties of measures on a Boolean algebra A and forcing names for ultrafilters on A. We show that several well known measure theoretic properties of Boolean algebras (such as supporting a strictly positive…
Let $A$ be an infinite set. Let $\Omega(A)$ be the algebra over $A$ where every constant is a fundamental constant and every finitary function is a fundamental operation. We shall give a method of representing any algebra $\mathcal{L}$ in…
Let $M$ be a transitive model of $ZFC$ and let ${\bf B}$ be a $M$-complete Boolean algebra in $M.$ (In general a proper class.) We define a generalized notion of forcing with such Boolean algebras, $^*$forcing. (A $^*$ forcing extension of…
In this paper we analyse and compare two different notions of regularity for filters on complete Boolean algebras. We also announce two results from a forthcoming paper in preparation, which provide a characterization of Keisler's order in…
We study the strength of well-founded ultrafilters on ordinals above choiceless large cardinals and their associated Prikry forcings. Gabriel Goldberg showed that all but boundedly many regular cardinals above a rank Berkeley cardinal carry…
Let X\subset PP^n be a projective scheme over a field, and let phi:X --> Y be a finite morphism. Our main result is a formula in terms of global data for the maximum of the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of the fibers of \phi, considered as…
We study the nonstationary-support iteration of Prikry forcings below a measurable cardinal \kappa, characterizing all the normal measures it carries in the generic extension. We then analyze the restriction of ultrapower embeddings, taken…
Henle, Mathias, and Woodin proved that, provided that $\omega\rightarrow(\omega)^{\omega}$ holds in a model $M$ of ZF, then forcing with $([\omega]^{\omega},\subseteq^*)$ over $M$ adds no new sets of ordinals, thus earning the name a…
We investigate the structure of ultrafilters on Boolean algebras in the framework of Tukey reducibility. In particular, this paper provides several techniques to construct ultrafilters which are not Tukey maximal. Furthermore, we connect…
A cohesive power of a computable structure is an effective ultrapower where a cohesive set acts as an ultrafilter. Let $\omega$, $\zeta$, and $\eta$ denote the respective order-types of the natural numbers, the integers, and the rationals.…
We continue investigations of reasonable ultrafilters on uncountable cardinals defined in math.LO/0407498. We introduce stronger properties of ultrafilters and we show that those properties may be handled in lambda-support iterations of…
We study the structure of the Rudin-Frolik order on countably complete ultrafilters under the assumption that this order is directed. This assumption, called the Ultrapower Axiom, holds in all known canonical inner models. It turns out that…
