This article critically reappraises arguments in support of Cantor's theory of transfinite numbers. The following results are reported: i) Cantor's proofs of nondenumerability are refuted by analyzing the logical inconsistencies in…

We show that (1) If ZF is consistent then the following theory is consistent "ZF + DC(omega_{1}) + Every set of reals has Baire property" and (2) If ZF is consistent then the following theory is consistent "ZFC + `every projective set of…

A set $A$ is dually Dedekind finite if every surjection from $A$ onto $A$ is injective; otherwise, $A$ is dually Dedekind infinite. An amorphous set is an infinite set that cannot be partitioned into two infinite subsets. A strictly…

We introduce the concept of inverse powerset by adding three axioms to the Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory. This extends the Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory with a new type of set which is motivated by an intuitive meaning and interesting…

Starting from large cardinals we construct a model of $ZFC$ in which the $GCH$ fails everywhere, but such that $GCH$ holds in its $HOD$. The result answers a question of Sy Friedman. Also, relative to the existence of large cardinals, we…

We show that (in ZFC) every infinite set S can be equipped with 2^|S| complete metrics which generate mutually non-homeomorphic scattered order topologies on S. Furthermore, we show that (in ZFC) every uncountable set S can be equipped with…

We investigate the existence of a class of ZFC-provably total recursive unary functions, given certain constraints, and apply some of those results to show that, for $\Sigma_1$-sound set theory, ZFC$\not\vdash P<NP$.

We force the Axiom of Choice over the least initial segment of a Nairian model satisfying ZF. In the forcing extension, square_kappa fails at all uncountable cardinals kappa, and every regular cardinal is omega-strongly measurable in HOD,…

In this article the author claims that there is a paradigm shift from ZFC to NFUM and further to NACT - due to philosophical reasons, not mathematical ones. The goal is to construct systems where every "Not-Properclass" is a set! With help…

An inaccessible cardinal $\kappa$ is supercompact when $(\kappa, \lambda)$-ITP holds for all $\lambda\geq \kappa.$ We prove that if there is a model of $\ZFC$ with two supercompact cardinals, then there is a model of \ZFC where…

We prove that for two connected sets $E,F\subset\mathbb{R}^2$ with cardinalities greater than $1$, if one of $E$ and $F$ is compact and not a line segment, then the arithmetic sum $E+F$ has non-empty interior. This improves a recent result…

We prove the consistency of $\mathrm{add}(\mathcal{N})<\mathrm{cov}(\mathcal{N})<\mathfrak{p}=\mathfrak{g}=\mathfrak{s}<\mathrm{add}(\mathcal{M})=\mathrm{cof}(\mathcal{M})<\mathfrak{a}=\mathrm{non}(\mathcal{N})=\mathfrak{c}$ with ZFC where…

We extend a transitive model V of ZFC + GCH cardinal preservingly to a model N of ZF + "GCH holds below Alef_omega" + "there is a surjection from the power set of Alef_omega onto lambda" where lambda is an arbitrarily high fixed cardinal in…

V\"a\"an\"anen and Welch asked in the paper "When cardinals determine the power set: inner models and H\"artig quantifier logic" which large cardinals are consistent with the power set operation $x\mapsto P(x)$ being $\Sigma_1$-definable in…

I introduce a new family of axioms extending ZFC set theory, the $\Sigma_n$-correct forcing axioms. These assert roughly that whenever a forcing name $\dot{a}$ can be forced by a poset in some forcing class $\Gamma$ to have some $\Sigma_n$…

In [Sh893], Shelah proves that (on a stationary set of cardinals) an AEC has not too many models or every model has extensions of arbitrary cardinality. We show that, if we assume limited amalgamation, then the second condition holds for a…

Let K be a function field, let f be a rational function of degree d at least 2 defined over K, and suppose that f is not isotrivial. In this paper, we show that a point P in P^1(Kbar) has f-canonical height zero if and only if P is…

Theorem: There is a {\em complete sentence} $\phi$ of $L_{\omega_1,\omega}$ such that $\phi$ has maximal models in a set of cardinals $\lambda$ that is cofinal in the first measurable $\mu$ while $\phi$ has no maximal models in any $\chi…

If T is an iteration tree on K and F is a countably certified extender that coheres with the final model of T, then F is on the extender sequence of the final model of T. Several applications of maximality are proved, including: o K…

We introduce a model-complete theory which completely axiomatizes the structure $Z_{\alpha}=(Z, +, 0, 1, f)$ where $f : x \to \lfloor{\alpha} x \rfloor $ is a unary function with $\alpha$ a fixed transcendental number. When $\alpha$ is…
