I analyze the hierarchy of large cardinals between a supercompact cardinal and an almost-huge cardinal. Many of these cardinals are defined by modifying the definition of a high-jump cardinal. A high-jump cardinal is defined as the critical…
We show that the notions of "strongly unfoldable cardinals", introduced by Villaveces in his model-theoretic studies of models of set theory, and "shrewd cardinals", introduced by Rathjen in a proof-theoretic context, coincide. We then…
One of the numerous characterizations of a Ramsey cardinal kappa involves the existence of certain types of elementary embeddings for transitive sets of size \kappa satisfying a large fragment of ZFC. We introduce new large cardinal axioms…
The relationship between the large cardinal notions of strong compactness and supercompactness cannot be determined under the standard ZFC axioms of set theory. Under a hypothesis called the Ultrapower Axiom, we prove that the notions are…
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 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…
If kappa is strongly compact, lambda > kappa is regular, then (2^{< lambda})^+ --> (lambda+eta)^2_theta holds for eta,theta<kappa.
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]…
For certain uncountable cardinals $\kappa$ we produce a group of cardinality $\kappa$ which is freely indecomposable, strongly $\kappa$-free, and whose abelianization is free abelian of rank $\kappa$. The construction takes place in…
The Axiom of Full Reflection at a measurable cardinal has been conjectured to be equiconsitent with the existence of a coherent sequence of measures with a repeat point. However we prove that the Axiom of Full Reflection at a measurable…
A 27 years old and still open problem of Juhasz and van Mill asks whether there exists a cardinal kappa such that every regular dense in itself countably compact space has a dense in itself subset of cardinality at most kappa. We give a…
Given any $\lambda\leq\kappa$, we construct a symmetric extension in which there is a set $X$ such that $\aleph(X)=\lambda$ and $\aleph^*(X)=\kappa$. Consequently, we show that $\mathsf{ZF}+$"For all pairs of infinite cardinals…
The weakly compact reflection principle $\text{Refl}_{\text{wc}}(\kappa)$ states that $\kappa$ is a weakly compact cardinal and every weakly compact subset of $\kappa$ has a weakly compact proper initial segment. The weakly compact…
$\Sigma^1_3$-absoluteness for ccc forcing means that for any ccc forcing $P$, ${H_{\omega_1}}^V \prec_{\Sigma_2}{H_{\omega_1}}^{V^P}$. "$\omega_1$ inaccessible to reals" means that for any real $r$, ${\omega_1}^{L[r]}<\omega_1$. To measure…
The strong tree property and ITP (also called the super tree property) are generalizations of the tree property that characterize strong compactness and supercompactness up to inaccessibility. That is, an inaccessible cardinal $\kappa$ is…
We study the relations between a generalization of pseudocompactness, named $(\kappa, M)$-pseudocompactness, the countably compactness of subspaces of $\beta \omega$ and the pseudocompactness of their hyperspaces. We show, by assuming the…
We generalise Jensen's result on the incompatibility of subcompactness with square. We show that alpha^+-subcompactness of some cardinal less than or equal to alpha precludes square_alpha, but also that square may be forced to hold…
We continue the investigations in the author's book on cardinal arithmetic, assuming some knowledge of it. We deal with the cofinality of (S_{<= aleph_0}(kappa), subseteq) for kappa real valued measurable (Section 3), densities of box…
We prove that some natural "outside" property is equivalent (for a first order class) to being stable. For a model, being resplendent is a strengthening of being kappa-saturated. Restricting ourselves to the case kappa > |T| for…
We prove several consistency results concerning the notion of $\omega$-strongly measurable cardinal in HOD. In particular, we show that is it consistent, relative to a large cardinal hypothesis weaker than $o(\kappa) = \kappa$, that every…
