Let $\mathcal{SN}$ be the $\sigma$-ideal of the strong measure zero sets of reals. We present general properties of forcing notions that allow to control of the additivity of $\mathcal{SN}$ after finite support iterations. This is applied…

We use known finite support iteration techniques to present various examples of models where several cardinal characteristics of Cicho\'n's diagram are pairwise different. We show some simple examples forcing the left-hand side of…

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…

Cicho\'n's diagram lists twelve cardinal characteristics (and the provable inequalities between them) associated with the ideals of null sets, meager sets, countable sets, and $\sigma$-compact subsets of the irrationals. It is consistent…

This dissertation surveys several topics in the general areas of iterated forcing, infinite combinatorics and set theory of the reals. There are two parts. In the first half I consider alternative versions of the Cicho\'n diagram. First I…

Based on works of Saharon Shelah, Jakob Kellner, and Anda T\u{a}nasie for controlling the cardinal characteristics of the continuum in ccc forcing extensions, in the author's master's thesis was introduced a new combinatorial notion: the…

We summarize the known methods of producing a non-supercompact strongly compact cardinal and describe some new variants. Our Main Theorem shows how to apply these methods to many cardinals simultaneously and exactly control which cardinals…

We give a brief survey on the interplay between forcing axioms and various other non-constructive principles widely used in many fields of abstract mathematics, such as the axiom of choice and Baire's category theorem. First of all we…

We construct a variety of inner models exhibiting features usually obtained by forcing over universes with large cardinals. For example, if there is a supercompact cardinal, then there is an inner model with a Laver indestructible…

Assuming four strongly compact cardinals, it is consistent that all entries in Cicho\'n's diagram are pairwise different, more specifically that \[ \aleph_1 < \mathrm{add}(\mathrm{null}) < \mathrm{cov}(\mathrm{null}) < \mathfrak{b} <…

We reimplement the creature forcing construction used by Fischer et al. (arXiv:1402.0367) to separate Cicho\'{n}'s diagram into five cardinals as a countable support product. Using the fact that it is of countable support, we augment our…

Given a forcing notion $P$ that forces certain values to several classical cardinal characteristics of the reals, we show how we can compose $P$ with a collapse (of a cardinal $\lambda>\kappa$ to $\kappa$) such that the composition still…

While maximal independent families can be constructed from ZFC via Zorn's lemma, the presence of a maximal $\sigma$-independent family already gives an inner model with a measurable cardinal, and Kunen has shown that from a measurable…

Following a line of research initiated in \cite{BBNN}, I describe a general framework for turning reduction concepts of relative computability into diagrams forming an analogy with the Cicho\'n diagram for cardinal characteristics of the…

We answer a question of Moore by building a forcing extension satisfying measuring together with CH. The construction works over any model of ZFC and can be described as a forcing iteration with countable structures as side conditions and…

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…

Recently the second author introduced combinatorial principles that characterize supercompactness for inaccessible cardinals but can also hold true for small cardinals. We prove that the proper forcing axiom PFA implies these principles…

A central theme in set theory is to find universes with extreme, well-understood behaviour. The case we are interested in is assuming GCH and has a strong forcing axiom of higher order than usual. Instead of "for every suitable forcing…

We discuss the effect of adding a single real (for various forcing notions adding reals) on cardinal invariants associated with the continuum (like the unbounding or the dominating number or the cardinals related to measure and category on…

This paper provides an extensive study of the $\mathscr{I}$-Miller null ideals $M_\mathscr{I}$, $\sigma$-ideals on the Baire space parametrized by ideals $\mathscr{I}$ on countable sets. These $\sigma$-ideals are associated to the idealized…
