We show that certain classes of modules have universal models with respect to pure embeddings. $Theorem.$ Let $R$ be a ring, $T$ a first-order theory with an infinite model extending the theory of $R$-modules and $K^T=(Mod(T), \leq_{pp})$…

Let $\Gamma^\infty$ be the set of all universally Baire sets of reals. Inspired by recent work of the second author and Nam Trang, we introduce a new technique for establishing generic absoluteness results for models containing…

We develop a toolbox for forcing over arbitrary models of set theory without the axiom of choice. In particular, we introduce a variant of the countable chain condition and prove an iteration theorem that applies to many classical forcings…

We investigate iterating the construction of $C^{*}$, the $L$-like inner model constructed using first order logic augmented with the "cofinality $\omega$" quantifier. We first show that $\left(C^{*}\right)^{C^{*}}=C^{*}\ne L$ is…

We show a new proof for the fact that when $\kappa$ and $\lambda$ are infinite cardinals satisfying $\lambda ^ \kappa = \lambda$, the cofinality of the set of all functions from $\lambda$ to $\kappa$ ordered by everywhere domination is…

Given a strong limit cardinal $\lambda$ of countable cofinality, we show that if every $\lambda$-coanalytic subset of the generalised Cantor space ${}^{\lambda}2$ has the $\lambda$-$\mathsf{PSP}$, then there is an inner model with…

Our results in this paper increase the model-theoretic precision of a widely used method for building ultrafilters, and so advance the general problem of constructing ultrafilters whose ultrapowers have a precise degree of saturation. We…

If we replace first order logic by second order logic in the original definition of G\"odel's inner model $L$, we obtain HOD. In this paper we consider inner models that arise if we replace first order logic by a logic that has some, but…

We find the model completion of the theory modules over $A$, where $A$ is a finitely generated commutative algebra over a field $K$. This is done in a context where the field $K$ and the module are represented by sorts in the theory, so…

Our original aim was, in Abelian group theory to prove the consistency of: lambda is strong limit singular and for some properties of abelian groups which are relatives of being free, the compactness in singular fails. In fact this should…

We provide a self-contained proof of the Artin-Wedderburn theorem in the case of finite-dimensional Von Neumann algebras (or equivalently unital C* algebras) that is fully constructive and uses only basic notions of linear algebra.

We introduce a new inner model $C(aa)$ arising from stationary logic. We show that assuming a proper class of Woodin cardinals, or alternatively $MM^{++}$, the regular uncountable cardinals of $V$ are measurable in the inner model $C(aa)$,…

Using Koszmider's strongly unbounded functions, we show the following consistency result: Suppose that $\kappa,\lambda$ are infinite cardinals such that $\kappa^{+++} \leq \lambda$, $\kappa^{<\kappa}=\kappa$ and $2^{\kappa}= \kappa^+$, and…

Generic absoluteness is the phenomenon that certain truths in the set-theoretic universe remain stable under forcing expansions. A classical result by Kripke asserts that every complete Boolean algebra completely embeds into a countably…

We find new "reasons" for a class of models for not having a universal model in a cardinal $\lambda$. This work, though it has consequences in model theory, is really in combinatorial set theory. We concentrate on a prototypical class which…

Much of the theory of large cardinals beyond a measurable cardinal concerns the structure of elementary embeddings of the universe of sets into inner models. This paper seeks to answer the question of whether the inner model uniquely…

This article explores the model-dependent nature of set cardinality, emphasizing that cardinality is not absolute but varies across different axiomatic frameworks. Although Cantor's diagonal argument shows the real numbers are…

We prove that for lambda = beta_omega or just lambda strong limit singular of cofinality aleph_0, if there is a universal member in the class K^lf_lambda of locally finite groups of cardinality lambda, then there is a canonical one…

The compactness theorem for a logic states, roughly, that the satisfiability of a set of well-formed formulas can be determined from the satisfiability of its finite subsets, and vice versa. Usually, proofs of this theorem depend on the…

We give a sufficient condition for a model theoretic structure $B$ to 'inherit' quantifier elimination from another structure $A$. This yields an alternative proof of one of the main result from \cite{kle}, namely quantifier elimination for…
