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…

We discuss the relationship between perfect sets of random reals, dominating reals, and the product of two copies of the random algebra B. Recall that B is the algebra of Borel sets of 2^omega modulo the null sets. Also given two models M…

We study variants of classical Laver forcing defined from co-ideals and analyze their combinatorial properties in terms of the Kat\v{e}tov order. In particular, we give a Kat\v{e}tov-theoretic characterization of when Laver forcing…

We isolate two combinatorial properties, each expressible by a $\Pi_2$-sentence over the structure $(H(\omega_3),\in,\omega_1,\omega_2,\text{NS}_{\omega_2})$, such that each property is consistent with CH, and their conjunction together…

We discuss ways of adjoining perfect sets of mutually generic random reals. In particular, we show that if V \sub W are models of ZFC and W contains a dominating real over V, then W[r], where r is random over W, contains a perfect tree of…

We give results exploring the relationship between dominating and unbounded reals in Hechler extensions, as well as the relationships among the extensions themselves. We show that in the standard Hechler extension there is an unbounded real…

We prove the following theorem: For a partially ordered set Q such that every countable subset has a strict upper bound, there is a forcing notion satisfying ccc such that, in the forcing model, there is a basis of the meager ideal of the…

We investigate the effect of adding $\omega_2$ Cohen reals on graphs on $\omega_2$, in particular we show that $\omega_2 \to (\omega_2, \omega : \omega)^2$ holds after forcing with $\mathsf{Add}(\omega, \omega_2)$ in a model of…

In this paper we first formulate several ``combinatorial principles'' concerning kappa \times omega matrices of subsets of omega and prove that they are valid in the generic extension obtained by adding any number of Cohen reals to any…

We prove the following theorem: For a partially ordered set Q such that every countable subset has a strict upper bound, there is a forcing notion satisfying ccc such that, in the forcing model, there is a basis of the null ideal of the…

We study pairs $(V, V_1)$ of models of $ZFC$ such that adding $\kappa$-many random reals over $V_1$ adds $\lambda$-many random reals over $V$, for some $\lambda > \kappa.$

We introduce a new concept of rank - relative rank associated to a filtered collection of polynomials. When the filtration is trivial our relative rank coincides with Schmidt rank (also called strength). We also introduce the notion of…

Let alpha = (a,b,...) be a composition. Consider the associated poset F(alpha), called a fence, whose covering relations are x_1 < x_2 < ... < x_{a+1} > x_{a+2} > ... > x_{a+b+1} < x_{a+b+2} < ... . We study the associated distributive…

Let lambda_1, \lambda_2, \lambda_3, \lambda_4 be non-zero real numbers, not all negative, with \lambda_1/\lambda_2 irrational and algebraic. Suppose that \mathcal{V} is a well-spaced sequence and \delta >0. In this paper, it is proved that…

Let $\kappa$ be an infinite cardinal. Then, forcing with $\mathbb{R}(\kappa)$$\times$$\mathbb{R}(\kappa)$ adds a generic filter for $\mathbb{C}(\kappa);$ where $\mathbb{R}(\kappa)$ and $\mathbb{C}(\kappa)$ are the forcing notions for adding…

The study of classes of models of a finite diagram was initiated by S. Shelah in 1969. A diagram D is a set of types over the empty set, and the class of models of the diagram D consists of the models of T which omit all the types not in D.…

We develop a toolbox for forcing over arbitrary models of set theory without the axiom of choice. In particular, we introduce a variant of the countable chain condition and prove an iteration theorem that applies to many classical forcings…

We develop a family of simple rank one theories built over quite arbitrary sequences of finite hypergraphs. (This extends an idea from the recent proof that Keisler's order has continuum many classes, however, the construction does not…

This dissertation surveys several topics in the general areas of iterated forcing, infinite combinatorics and set theory of the reals. There are two parts. In the first half I consider alternative versions of the Cicho\'n diagram. First I…

We show that for a Suslin ccc forcing notion $\mathbb Q$ adding a Hechler real, ``$\text{ZF}+\text{DC}_{\omega_1}+$all sets of reals are $I_{\mathbb Q,\aleph_0}$-measurable'' implies the existence of an inner model with a measurable…
