This is part I of a study on cardinals that are characterizable by Scott sentences. Building on [3], [6] and [1] we study which cardinals are characterizable by a Scott sentence $\phi$, in the sense that $\phi$ characterizes $\kappa$, if…
Our main theorem is about iterated forcing for making the continuum larger than aleph_2. We present a generalization of math.LO/0303294 which is dealing with oracles for random, etc., replacing aleph_1, aleph_2 by lambda,lambda^+ (starting…
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…
We construct a Borel graph G such that ZF+DC+"There are no maximal independent sets in G" is equiconsistent with ZFC+"There exists an inaccessible cardinal".
We study the approachability ideal I[\kappa^+] in the context of large cardinals properties of the regular cardinals below a singular \kappa. As a guiding example consider the approachability ideal I[\aleph_{\omega+1}] assuming that…
It is well known that the graph of a total $\mathbf{\Sigma}^1_n$-function is $\mathbf{\Pi}^1_n$. We prove the consistency of the dual assertion at the third projective level: there is a model of $\ZFC$ in which the graph of every total…
There is substancial overlap with hepth-9211081. More results are presented for duality in the non-compact case. It is argued that duality persists as a symmetry also in that case.
CZF + Separation is shown to be equiconsistent with second-order arithmetic, using realizability.
A chopped ideal is obtained from a homogeneous ideal by considering only the generators of a fixed degree. We investigate cases in which the chopped ideal defines the same finite set of points as the original one-dimensional ideal. The…
Given a compact interval $I \subseteq \mathbb{R}$, and a function $f$ that is a product of a nonzero polynomial with a Gaussian, it will be shown that the translates $\{ f(\cdot - \lambda) : \lambda \in \Lambda \}$ are complete in $C(I)$ if…
We show that it is consistent relative to ZF, that there is no well-ordering of $\mathbb{R}$ while a wide class of special sets of reals such as Hamel bases, transcendence bases, Vitali sets or Bernstein sets exists. To be more precise, we…
Let $L$ be a nilpotent algebra of class two over a compact discrete valuation ring $A$ of characteristic zero or of sufficiently large positive characteristic. Let $q$ be the residue cardinality of $A$. The ideal zeta function of $L$ is a…
In the constructible universe, we construct a co-analytic maximal family of pairwise eventually different functions from $\mathbb{N}$ to $\mathbb{N}$ which remains maximal after adding arbitrarily many Sacks reals (by a countably supported…
It is shown that for a finite set $A$ of four or more complex numbers, the cardinality of the set $C[A]$ of all cross-ratios generated by quadruples of pair-wise distinct elements of $A$ is $|C[A]|\gg…
We prove (ZF+DC) e.g. : if mu =|H(mu)| then mu^+ is regular non measurable. This is in contrast with the results for mu = aleph_{omega} on measurability see Apter Magidor [ApMg]
Our main result is that possibly some non-null set of reals cannot be divided to uncountably many non-null sets. We deal also with a non-null set of reals, the graph of any function from it is null and deal with our iterations somewhat more…
We prove that it is relatively consistent with ZF + CH that there exist two models of cardinality \aleph_2 such that the second player has a winning strategy in the Ehrenfeucht-Fra\"iss\'e-game of length \omega_1 but there is no…
In other work we have outlined how, building on ideas of Welch and Roberts, one can motivate believing in the existence of supercompact cardinals. After making this observation we strove to formulate a justification for large-cardinal…
We force the Axiom of Choice over the least initial segment of a Nairian model satisfying ZF. In the forcing extension, square_kappa fails at all uncountable cardinals kappa, and every regular cardinal is omega-strongly measurable in HOD,…
We show that higher Sacks forcing at a regular limit cardinal and club Miller forcing at an uncountable regular cardinal both add a diamond sequence. We answer the longstanding question, whether $\kappa = \kappa^{<\kappa} \geq\aleph_1$…
