J. Zapletal asked if all the forcing notions considered in his monograph are homogeneous. Specifically, he asked if the forcing consisting of Borel sets of $\sigma$-finite 2-dimensional Hausdorff measure in $\mathbb{R}^3$ (ordered under…

We prove that if there is an elementary embedding from the universe to itself, then there is a proper class of measurable successor cardinals.

For any composant $E \subset \mathbb H^*$ and corresponding near-coherence class $\mathscr E \subset \omega^*$ we prove the following are equivalent : (1) $E$ properly contains a dense semicontinuum. (2) Each countable subset of $E$ is…

We discuss some well-known compactness principles for uncountable structures of small regular sizes ($\omega_n$ for $2 \le n<\omega$, $\aleph_{\omega+1}$, $\aleph_{\omega^2+1}$, etc.), consistent from weakly compact (the size-restricted…

J.J. Schaeffer proved that for $any$ induced matrix norm and $any$ invertible $T=T(n)$ the inequality \[\left|\det T\right|\left\Vert T^{-1}\right\Vert \leq\mathcal{S}\left\Vert T\right\Vert ^{n-1}\] holds with…

In this article, for generalized projective spaces with any weights, we prove four main theorems in three different contexts where the Unital Set Condition USC (Definition $2.8$) on ideals is further examined. In the first context we prove,…

By a classical theorem of Harvey Friedman (1973), every countable nonstandard model $\mathcal{M}$ of a sufficiently strong fragment of ZF has a proper rank-initial self-embedding $j$, i.e., $j$ is a self-embedding of $\mathcal{M}$ such that…

Let P be a distinguished unary predicate and K= {M: M a model of cardinality aleph_n with P^M of cardinality aleph_0}. We prove that consistently for n=4, for some countable first order theory T we have: T has no model in K whereas every…

Assuming $\mathrm{ZF}$, we prove that Turing determinacy ($\mathrm{TD}$) implies countable choice axiom for sets of reals ($\mathrm{CCR}$).

We present a system of axioms motivated by a topological intuition: The set of subsets of any set is a topology on that set. On the one hand, this system is a common weakening of Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory ZF, the positive set theory GPK…

I introduce a new family of axioms extending ZFC set theory, the $\Sigma_n$-correct forcing axioms. These assert roughly that whenever a forcing name $\dot{a}$ can be forced by a poset in some forcing class $\Gamma$ to have some $\Sigma_n$…

We prove the consistency (modulo supercompact) of a negative answer to Arhangelskii's problem (some Hausdorff compact space cannot be partitioned to two sets not containing a closed copy of Cantor discontinuum). In this model we have CH.…

We prove in ZFC the existence of a definable, countably saturated elementary extension of the reals. It seems that it has been taken for granted that there is no distinguished, definable nonstandard model of the reals. (This means a…

The main theorem of this article is that every countable model of set theory M, including every well-founded model, is isomorphic to a submodel of its own constructible universe. In other words, there is an embedding $j:M\to L^M$ that is…

We prove that the Generalized Continuum Hypothesis holds above a supercompact cardinal assuming the Ultrapower Axiom, an abstract comparison principle motivated by inner model theory at the level of supercompact cardinals.

Motivated by an influential result of Bourgain and Tzafriri, we consider continuous matrix functions $A:\mathbb{R}\to M_{n\times n}$ and lower $\ell_2$-norm bounds associated with their restriction to certain subspaces. We prove that for…

This work is a part of my upcoming thesis [7]. We establish an equiconsistency between (1) weak indestructibility for all $\kappa +2$-degrees of strength for cardinals $\kappa $ in the presence of a proper class of strong cardinals, and (2)…

A theoretical development is carried to establish fundamental results about rank-initial embeddings and automorphisms of countable non-standard models of set theory, with a keen eye for their sets of fixed points. These results are then…

Let $(R,\mathfrak m)$ be a local ring and $I, J$ two arbitrary ideals of $R$. Let $\operatorname{gr}_J(R/I)$ denote the associated ring of $R/I$ with respect to $J$, which corresponds to the normal cone in geometry. The main result of this…

For conformal geometries of Riemannian signature, we provide a comprehensive and explicit treatment of the core local theory for embedded submanifolds of arbitrary dimension. This is based in the conformal tractor calculus and includes a…
