We prove the consistency of: for suitable strongly inaccessible cardinal lambda the dominating number, i.e., the cofinality of ^{lambda}lambda, is strictly bigger than cov_lambda(meagre), i.e. the minimal number of nowhere dense subsets of…
Let omega be the first infinite ordinal (or the set of all natural numbers) with the usual order <. In section 1 we show that, assuming the consistency of a supercompact cardinal, there may exist an ultrapower of omega, whose cardinality is…
For many classes of models, there are universal members in any cardinal $\lambda$ which "essentially satisfies GCH", i.e. $\lambda = 2^{< \lambda}$, in particular for the class of a complete first order $T$ (well, if at least $\lambda >…
We show that if the existence of a supercompact cardinal $\kappa$ with a weakly compact cardinal $\lambda$ above $\kappa$ is consistent, then the following are consistent as well (where $\mathfrak{t}(\kappa)$ and $\mathfrak{u}(\kappa)$ are…
The work presents the second part of the second edition of its previous one published in 2000 under the same title, containing the proof (in ZF) of the inaccessible cardinals nonexistence, which is enriched and improved now. This part…
A proof will be presented that the existence of a non-trivial $\Sigma_1$-elementary embedding $j: V_{\lambda+3} \prec V_{\lambda+3}$ is inconsistent with $\textsf{ZF}$. Sections 1 and 2 shall review various important contributions from the…
We continue our investigation =of Shelah's interpretability orders $\trianglelefteq^*_\kappa$ as well as the new orders $\trianglelefteq^\times_\kappa$. In particular, we give streamlined proofs of the existence of minimal unstable,…
We give two results on guessing unbounded subsets of lambda^+. The first is a positive result and applies to the situation of lambda regular and at least equal to aleph_3, while the second is a negative consistency result which applies to…
This paper continues the study of the Ramsey-like large cardinals. Ramsey-like cardinals are defined by generalizing the characterization of Ramsey cardinals via the existence of elementary embeddings. Ultrafilters derived from such…
Vazirani and the author \cite{BV} gave a new interpretation of what we called $\ell$-partitions, also known as $(\ell,0)$-Carter partitions. The primary interpretation of such a partition $\lambda$ is that it corresponds to a Specht module…
We prove from suitable large cardinal hypotheses that the least weakly compact cardinal can be unfoldable, weakly measurable and even nearly $\theta$-supercompact, for any desired $\theta$. In addition, we prove several global results…
We show that the existence of a Pi^{1}_{N}-indescribable cardinal over the Zermelo-Fraenkel's set theory ZF is proof-theoretically reducible to iterations of Mostowski collapsings and lower Mahlo operations. Furthermore we describe a…
Remarkable cardinals were introduced by Schindler, who showed that the existence of a remarkable cardinal is equiconsistent with the assertion that the theory of $L(\mathbb R)$ is absolute for proper forcing. Here, we study the…
Keisler proved that if $\theta$ is a strong limit cardinal and $\lambda$ is a singular cardinal, then the transfer relation $\theta\longrightarrow\lambda$ holds. In a previous paper, we studied initial elementary submodels of the…
We present several results concerning Shelah cardinals.
An optimal extension of the Jensen covering lemma, within the limits imposed by Prikry forcing, is proved. If L[E] is an "iterable" weasel with no measurable cardinals, then either L[E] has "indiscernibles", or every uncountable set of…
Assuming the existence of a supercompact cardinal and an inaccessible above it, we construct a model of ZFC, in which all uncountable regular cardinals are inaccessible in HOD.
For a strongly inacessible cardinal $\kappa$, we investigate the relationships between the following ideals: - the ideal of meager sets in the ${<}\kappa$-box product topology - the ideal of "null" sets in the sense of [Sh:1004]…
Answering a question of Sakai, we show that the existence of an $\omega_1$-Erd\H{o}s cardinal suffices to obtain the consistency of Chang's Conjecture with $\square_{\omega_1, 2}$. By a result of Donder this is best possible. We also give…
We show that some cardinal arithmetic configurations related to the negation of the Shelah Weak Hypothesis and natural from the forcing point of view are impossible.
