Let A and B be two first order structures of the same relational vocabulary L. The Ehrenfeucht-Fraisse-game of length gamma of A and B denoted by EFG_gamma(A,B) is defined as follows: There are two players called for all and exists. First…

In Combinatorial Game Theory, we study the set of games G, whose elements are mapped from positions of rulesets. In many case, given a ruleset, not all elements of G can be given as a position in the ruleset. It is an intriguing question…

Fragments of first-order logic over words can often be characterized in terms of finite monoids or finite semigroups. Usually these algebraic descriptions yield decidability of the question whether a given regular language is definable in a…

The purpose of this paper is to present a general method for forcing on $\omega_2$ and $\omega_3$ with finite conditions, while preserving all cardinals and some fragments of $\mathrm{GCH}$. This method is based on the technique of forcing…

Motivated by a question of Isbell, we show that Jensen's Diamond Principle implies there is a non-P-point ultrafilter U on omega such that U, whether ordered by reverse inclusion or reverse inclusion mod finite, is not Tukey equivalent to…

In a $3$-$\mathsf{XOR}$ game $\mathcal{G}$, the verifier samples a challenge $(x,y,z)\sim \mu$ where $\mu$ is a probability distribution over $\Sigma\times\Gamma\times\Phi$, and a map $t\colon \Sigma\times\Gamma\times\Phi\to\mathcal{A}$ for…

We show: There are pairs of universes V_1 subseteq V_2 and there is a notion of forcing P in V_1 such that the change mentioned in the title occurs when going from V_1[G] to V_2[G] for a P-generic filter G over V_2. We use forcing…

In this paper we prove that the maximum principle in forcing is equivalent to the axiom of choice. The maximum principle is the property of forcing: p ||- exists x theta(x) iff for some name tau p ||- theta(tau). We also look at three…

We study a combinatorial game derived from a problem in the German National Mathematics Competition. In this game, two players take turns removing numbers from a finite set of natural numbers, aiming to satisfy a certain divisibility…

Pavlov, a well-known strategy in game theory, has been shown to have some advantages in the Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma (IPD) game. However, this strategy can be exploited by inveterate defectors. We modify this strategy to mitigate the…

For an NP intersect coNP function g of the Nisan-Wigderson type and a string b outside its range we consider a two player game on a common input a to the function. One player, a computationally limited Student, tries to find a bit of g(a)…

Often, a given selection game studied in the literature has a known dual game. In dual games, a winning strategy for a player in either game may be used to create a winning strategy for the opponent in the dual. For example, the Rothberger…

We study the spectrum of forcing notions between the iterations of $\sigma$-closed followed by ccc forcings and the proper forcings. This includes the hierarchy of $\alpha$-proper forcings for indecomposable countable ordinals as well as…

Zeckendorf proved that every positive integer $n$ can be written uniquely as the sum of non-adjacent Fibonacci numbers; a similar result, though with a different notion of a legal decomposition, holds for many other sequences. We use these…

In the domination game studied here, Dominator and Staller alternately choose a vertex of a graph $G$ and take it into a set $D$. The number of vertices dominated by the set $D$ must increase in each single turn and the game ends when $D$…

A general position set of a graph $G$ is a set of vertices $S$ in $G$ such that no three vertices from $S$ lie on a common shortest path. In this paper we introduce and study the general position achievement game. The game is played on a…

We consider the following combinatorial game: two players, Fast and Slow, claim $k$-element subsets of $[n]=\{1,2,...,n\}$ alternately, one at each turn, such that both players are allowed to pick sets that intersect all previously claimed…

We study principles of the form: if a name $\sigma$ is forced to have a certain property $\varphi$, then there is a ground model filter $g$ such that $\sigma^g$ satisfies $\varphi$. We prove a general correspondence connecting these name…

Vladimir Kanovei \cite{zbMATH01335192} developed the technique of geometric iteration and used it to prove that the perfect set forcing can be iterated with countable supports along any partial order, while preserving $\aleph_1$. In…

In the present paper, based on the previous work (Part I), we present a game semantics for the intensional variant of intuitionistic type theory that refutes the principle of uniqueness of identity proofs and validates the univalence axiom,…
