Several variants of the Halpern-L\"auchli Theorem for trees of uncountable height are investigated. For $\kappa$ weakly compact, we prove that the various statements are all equivalent. We show that the strong tree version holds for one…

In this note we answer a question of Kunen (15.13 [Mi91]) showing that it is consistent that there are full Souslin trees

Motivated by a question from a recent paper by Gilton, Levine and Stejskalova, we obtain a new characterization of the ideal $J[\kappa]$, from which we confirm that $\kappa$-Souslin trees exist in various models of interest. As a corollary…

For any cardinal $\kappa \geq 2$, there is a unique complete real tree whose points all have valence $\kappa$. In this note, we show that, when $\kappa \geq 3$, it is necessary to assume completeness. More precisely, we show that there…

We investigate the consistency strength of the statement: $\kappa$ is weakly compact and there is no tree on $\kappa$ with exactly $\kappa^{+}$ many branches. We show that this statement fails strongly (in the sense that there is a sealed…

Dobrinen, Hathaway and Prikry studied a forcing $\mathbb{P}_\kappa$ consisting of perfect trees of height $\lambda$ and width $\kappa$ where $\kappa$ is a singular $\omega$-strong limit of cofinality $\lambda$. They showed that if $\kappa$…

Assuming the existence of a strong cardinal $\kappa$ and a measurable cardinal above it, we force a generic extension in which $\kappa$ is a singular strong limit cardinal of any prescribed cofinality, and such that the tree property holds…

We investigate the unbalanced ordinary partition relations of the form $\lambda \rightarrow {(\lambda, \alpha)}^{2}$ for various values of the cardinal $\lambda$ and the ordinal $\alpha$. For example, we show that for every infinite…

This paper continues a line of investigation of the Halpern--L\"{a}uchli Theorem at uncountable cardinals. We prove in ZFC that the Halpern--L\"{a}uchli Theorem for one tree of height $\kappa$ holds whenever $\kappa$ is strongly…

We give two consistent constructions of trees $T$ whose finite power $T^{n+1}$ is sharply different from $T^n$: 1. An $\aleph_1$-tree $T$ whose interval topology $X_T$ is perfectly normal, but $(X_T)^2$ is not even countably metacompact. 2.…

Two graphs are of the same topological type if they can be mutually embedded into each other topologically. We show that there are exactly $\aleph_1$ distinct topological types of countable trees. In general, for any infinite cardinal…

Assuming the existence of a proper class of supercompact cardinals, we force that for every regular cardinal $\kappa$, there are $\kappa^+$-Aronszajn trees and all such trees are special.

We present a weak sufficient condition for the existence of Souslin trees at successor of regular cardinals. The result is optimal and simultaneously improves an old theorem of Gregory and a more recent theorem of the author.

We propose a parameterized proxy principle from which $\kappa$-Souslin trees with various additional features can be constructed, regardless of the identity of $\kappa$. We then introduce the microscopic approach, which is a simple method…

We construct a model in which all $C$-sequences are trivial, yet there exists a $\kappa$-Souslin tree with full vanishing levels. This answers a question of Lambie-Hanson and Rinot, and provides an optimal combination of compactness and…

An inaccessible cardinal kappa is supercompact when (kappa, lambda)-ITP holds for all lambda greater than or equal to kappa. We prove that if there is a model of ZFC with infinitely many supercompact cardinals, then there is a model of ZFC…

Let $\mathrm{cof}(\mu)=\mu$ and $\kappa$ be a supercompact cardinal with $\mu<\kappa$. Assume that there is an increasing and continuous sequence of cardinals $\langle\kappa_\xi\mid \xi<\mu\rangle$ with $\kappa_0:=\kappa$ and such that, for…

We point out some connections between existence of homogenous sets for certain edge colorings and existence of branches in certain trees. As a consequence, we get that any locally additive coloring (a notion introduced in the paper) of a…

Assuming that there is no inner model with a Woodin cardinal, we obtain a characterization of $\lambda$-tall cardinals in extender models that are iterable. In particular we prove that in such extender models, a cardinal $\kappa$ is a tall…

A cardinal kappa is countably closed if mu^omega < kappa whenever mu < kappa. Assume that there is no inner model with a Woodin cardinal and that every set has a sharp. Let K be the core model. Assume that kappa is a countably closed…
