We prove the following continuous analogue of Vaught's Two-Cardinal Theorem: if for some $\kappa>\lambda\geq \aleph_0$, a continuous theory $T$ has a model with density character $\kappa$ which has a definable subset of density character…

For $n<\omega$, we say that the $\Pi^1_n$-reflection principle holds at $\kappa$ and write $\text{Refl}_n(\kappa)$ if and only if $\kappa$ is a $\Pi^1_n$-indescribable cardinal and every $\Pi^1_n$-indescribable subset of $\kappa$ has a…

We give a new proof of a theorem of Becker that under AD+V=L(R), omega_2 is a kappa-supercompact for every kappa less than or equal to the supremum of all Suslin cardinals. Our proof uses inner model theory. It is still open whether one can…

We introduce axiomatically the ring $\bf{Z}_\kappa$ of the Euclidean integers, that can be viewed as the ``integral part" of the field $\mathbb{E}$ of Euclidean numbers of [4], where the transfinite sum of ordinal indexed $\kappa$-sequences…

We study the question of when an uncountable ccc topological space $X$ contains a ccc subspace of size $\aleph_1$. We show that it does if $X$ is compact Hausdorff and more generally if $X$ is Hausdorff with $\mathrm{pct}(X) \leq \aleph_1$.…

Given an uncountable regular cardinal $\kappa$, a partial order is $\kappa$-stationarily layered if the collection of regular suborders of $\mathbb{P}$ of cardinality less than $\kappa$ is stationary in $\mathcal{P}_\kappa(\mathbb{P})$. We…

Assuming an instance of the Brodsky-Rinot proxy principle holding at a regular uncountable cardinal $\kappa$, we construct $2^\kappa$-many pairwise non-embeddable minimal non-$\sigma$-scattered linear orders of size $\kappa$. In particular,…

We provide analogues of the results from [FMR11, CMMR13] in the reference list (which correspond to the case $\kappa = \omega$) for arbitrary $\kappa$-Souslin quasi-orders on any Polish space, for $\kappa$ an infinite cardinal smaller than…

We prove several results giving lower bounds for the large cardinal strength of a failure of the singular cardinal hypothesis. The main result is the following theorem: Theorem: Suppose $\kappa$ is a singular strong limit cardinal and…

Non-forking is one of the most important notions in modern model theory capturing the idea of a generic extension of a type (which is a far-reaching generalization of the concept of a generic point of a variety). To a countable first-order…

If cf(kappa) = kappa, kappa^+< cf(lambda) = \lambda, then there is a stationary subset S of {delta<lambda:cf(delta)=kappa} in I[lambda]. Moreover, we can find <C_delta :delta in S>, C_delta a club of lambda, otp(C_delta)=kappa, guessing…

All ultrafilters under consideration here are non-principal ultrafilters on the set omega of natural numbers. We are concerned with the possible cofinalities of ultrapowers of omega with respect to such ultrafilters. We show that no…

We deal with the problem of preserving various versions of completeness in (< kappa) --support iterations of forcing notions, generalizing the case ``S --complete proper is preserved by CS iterations for a stationary co-stationary S…

From a suitable large cardinal hypothesis, we provide a model with a supercompact cardinal in which universal indestructibility holds: every supercompact and partially supercompact cardinal kappa is fully indestructible by kappa-directed…

We investigate a notion called uniqueness in power kappa that is akin to categoricity in power kappa, but is based on the cardinality of the generating sets of models instead of on the cardinality of their universes. The notion is quite…

We introduce a general method of constructing locally compact scattered spaces from certain families of sets and then, with the help of this method, we prove that if kappa^{<kappa}=kappa then there is such a space of height kappa^+ with…

We show a number of undecidable assertions concerning countably compact spaces hold under PFA(S)[S]. We also show the consistency without large cardinals of "every locally compact, perfectly normal space is paracompact".

For a regular uncountable cardinal kappa, we discuss the order relationship between the unbounding and dominating numbers on kappa and cardinal invariants of the higher meager ideal M_kappa. In particular, we obtain a complete…

We prove that: I. If $L$ is a $T_1$ space, $|L|>1$ and $d(L) \leq \kappa \geq \omega$, then there is a submaximal dense subspace $X$ of $L^{2^\kappa}$ such that $|X|=\Delta(X)=\kappa$; II. If $\frak{c}\leq\kappa=\kappa^\omega<\lambda$ and…

Consider $(\kappa^{+++},\kappa^{++}) \twoheadrightarrow (\kappa^+,\kappa)$ where $\kappa$ is an uncountable regular cardinal. By a result of Shelah's we have $\operatorname{cof}(X \cap \kappa^{++}) = \kappa$ for almost all $X \subset…
