The idea of "vertex at the infinity" naturally appears when studying indecomposable injective representations of tree quivers. In this paper we formalize this behavior and find the structure of all the indecomposable injective…
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…
The lottery preparation, a new general kind of Laver preparation, works uniformly with supercompact cardinals, strongly compact cardinals, strong cardinals, measurable cardinals, or what have you. And like the Laver preparation, the lottery…
Given a Woodin cardinal $\delta$, I show that if $F$ is any Easton function with $F"\delta\subseteq\delta$ and $\GCH$ holds, then there is a cofinality-preserving forcing extension in which $2^\gamma= F(\gamma)$ for each regular cardinal…
Phylogenetic trees constitute an interesting class of objects for stochastic processes due to the non-standard nature of the space they inhabit. In particular, many statistical applications require the construction of Markov processes on…
Assuming the P-ideal dichotomy, we attempt to isolate those cardinal characteristics of the continuum that are correlated with two well-known consequences of the proper forcing axiom. We find a cardinal invariant $\mathfrak{x}$ such that…
I show that it is consistent relative to the consistency of a Mahlo cardinal that Martin's axiom holds at $\omega_2$, but the weak Kurepa Hypothesis fails. This answers a question posed by Honzik, Lambie-Hanson and Stejskalov\'a. The…
A simple \(P_\lambda\)-point on a regular cardinal \(\kappa\) is a uniform ultrafilter on \(\kappa\) with a mod-bounded decreasing generating sequence of length \(\lambda\). We prove that if there is a simple $P_\lambda$-point ultrafilter…
Let $G$ be a countable branch group of automorphisms of a spherically homogeneous rooted tree. Under some assumption on finitarity of $G$, we construct, for each sequence $\omega\in\{0,1\}^\Bbb N$, an irreducible unitary representation…
We obtain a small ultrafilter number at $\aleph_{\omega_1}$. Moreover, we develop a version of the overlapping strong extender forcing with collapses which can keep the top cardinal $\kappa$ inaccessible. We apply this forcing to construct…
We present a characterization of spaces of strictly decreasing functions on trees in terms of bisequentiality. This characterization answers Questions 6.1 and 6.2 of "A filter on a collection of finite sets and Eberlein compacta" by T.…
We prove some results about existence of connecting and closed geodesics in a manifold endowed with a Kropina metric. These have applications to both null geodesics of spacetimes endowed with a null Killing vector field and Zermelo's…
We investigate the effects of various forcings on several forms of the Halpern-L\"auchli Theorem. For inaccessible $\kappa$, we show they are preserved by forcings of size less than $\kappa$. Combining this with work of Zhang in…
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…
We obtain an array of consistency results concerning trees and stationary reflection at double successors of regular cardinals $\kappa$, updating some classical constructions in the process. This includes models of…
We study Lambda_{QCD}/m_B corrections to factorization in B -> K pi decays. First, we analyze these decay channels within factorization, showing that, irrespectively of the value of gamma, it is not possible to reproduce the experimental…
In this paper, we introduce several classes of Prikry-type forcing notions, two of which are used to produce minimal generic extensions, and the third is applied in $\alpha$-recursion theory to produce minimal covers. The first forcing as a…
Nakano's "later" modality, inspired by G\"{o}del-L\"{o}b provability logic, has been applied in type systems and program logics to capture guarded recursion. Birkedal et al modelled this modality via the internal logic of the topos of…
We investigate two variants of splitting tree forcing, their ideals and regularity properties. We prove connections with other well-known notions, such as Lebesgue measurablility, Baire- and Doughnut-property and the Marczewski field.…
We investigate the reverse mathematics strength of Martin's pointed tree theorem (MPT) and one of its variants, weak Martin's pointed tree theorem (wMPT).
