Assuming $\rm PFA$, we shall use internally club $\omega_1$-guessing models as side conditions to show that for every tree $T$ of height $\omega_2$ without cofinal branches, there is a proper and $\aleph_2$-preserving forcing notion with…

For a ring R, denote by Spec^R_kappa(Gamma) the kappa-spectrum of the Gamma-invariant of strongly uniform right R-modules. Recent realization techniques of Goodearl and Wehrung show that Spec^R_{aleph_1}(Gamma) is full for suitable von…

Generalizing a theorem of Campercholi, we characterize, in syntactic terms, the ranges of epimorphisms in an arbitrary class of similar first-order structures (as opposed to an elementary class). This allows us to strengthen a result of…

We show relative to strong hypotheses that patterns of compact cardinals in the universe, where a compact cardinal is one which is either strongly compact or supercompact, can be virtually arbitrary. Specifically, we prove if V is a model…

Let $\Omega_1,\Omega_2$ be two disjoint open sets in $\mathbf C^n$ whose boundaries share a smooth real hypersurface $M$ as relatively open subsets. Assume that $\Omega_i$ is equipped with a complex structure $J^i$ which is smooth up to…

We investigate, in ZFC, the behavior of abstract elementary classes (AECs) categorical in many successive small cardinals. We prove for example that a universal $\mathbb{L}_{\omega_1, \omega}$ sentence categorical on an end segment of…

Let $\mathfrak{i}$ denote the minimal cardinality of a maximal independent family and let $\mathfrak{a}_T$ denote the minimal cardinality of a maximal family of pairwise almost disjoint subtrees of $2^{<\omega}$. Using a countable support…

Let $f$ be a symmetric norm on ${\mathbb R}^n$ and let ${\mathcal B}({\mathcal H})$ be the set of all bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space ${\mathcal H}$ of dimension at least $n$. Define a norm on ${\mathcal B}({\mathcal H})$ by…

We deal with several pcf problems; we characterize another version of exponentiation: number of kappa-branches in a tree with lambda nodes, deal with existence of independent sets in stable theories, possible cardinality of ultraproduct,…

Building on previous work of [BPS] we investigate $\sigma$-closed partial orders of size continuum. We provide both an internal and external characterization of such partial orders by showing that (1) every $\sigma$-closed partial order of…

We prove two $\mathrm{ZFC}$ inequalities between cardinal invariants. The first inequality involves cardinal invariants associated with an analytic P-ideal, in particular the ideal of subsets of $\omega$ of asymptotic density $0$. We obtain…

The four types of homogeneity -- additive, multiplicative, exponential, and logarithmic -- are generalized as transformations describing how a function $f$ changes under scaling or shifting of its arguments. These generalized homogeneity…

The point of departure for the present work is Barry Mitchell's 1972 theorem that the cohomological dimension of $\aleph_n$ is $n+1$. We record a new proof and mild strengthening of this theorem; our more fundamental aim, though, is some…

Shelah has provided sufficient conditions for an $L_{\omega_1, \omega}$-sentence $\psi$ to have arbitrarily large models and for a Morley-like theorem to hold of $\psi$. These conditions involve structural and set-theoretic assumptions on…

In various models of set theory, we consider covering Aleph_1 x Aleph_1 rectangles by countably many smooth curves, and we study differentiable isomorphisms between Aleph_1-dense sets of reals.

Assuming that there is no inner model with a strong cardinal, the following is shown: any subset of \omega_1 can be made \Delta^1_3 (in the codes) by a reasonable set-forcing; there is a reasonable set-generic extension with a \Delta^1_3…

In the one-parameter family of power-law maps of the form $f_a(x)=-|x|^{\alpha}+a,$ $\alpha >1,$ we give examples of mutually related dynamically determined quantities, depending on the parameter $a$, such that one is a Pick function of the…

We extend the applications of the techniques used in Arch Math Logic 52:261-278, 2013, to present various examples of consistency results where some cardinal invariants of the continuum take arbitrary regular values with the size of the…

The functional calculus for normal elements in $C^*$-algebras is an important tool of analysis. We consider polynomials $p(a,a^*)$ for elements $a$ with small self-commutator norm $\|[a,a^*]\| \le \delta$ and show that many properties of…

We study partition properties for uncountable regular cardinals that arise by restricting partition properties defining large cardinal notions to classes of simply definable colourings. We show that both large cardinal assumptions and…
