It is shown that there exists a complete, atomless, sigma-centered Boolean algebra, which does not contain any regular countable subalgebra if and only if there exist a nowhere dense ultrafilter. Therefore the existence of such algebras is…

We show that every unstable NIP theory admits a V-definable linear quasi-order, over a finite set of parameters. In particular, if the theory is omega-categorical, then it interprets an infinite linear order. This partially answers a…

We prove, in ZFC alone, some new results on regularity and decomposability of ultrafilters. We also list some problems, and furnish applications to topological spaces and to extended logics.

We obtain a small ultrafilter number at $\aleph_{\omega_1}$. Moreover, we develop a version of the overlapping strong extender forcing with collapses which can keep the top cardinal $\kappa$ inaccessible. We apply this forcing to construct…

We study some aspects of 2d supersymmetric sigma models on orbifolds. It turns out that independently of whether the 2d QFT is conformal the operator products of twist operators are non-singular, suggesting that massive (non-conformal)…

Let $S$ be a set of $n$ points in general position in the plane. The Second Selection Lemma states that for any family of $\Theta(n^3)$ triangles spanned by $S$, there exists a point of the plane that lies in a constant fraction of them.…

We develop some basic results about full amalgamation classes with intrinsic trascendentals. These classes have generics whose models may have finite subsets whose intrinsic closure is not contained in its algebraic closure. We will show…

In classical model theory, the Keisler--Shelah theorem establishes a fundamental connection between the elementary equivalence of structures and the isomorphism of their ultrapowers. Motivated by this, one may ask whether an analogous…

We begin the study of the consequences of the existence of certain infinite matrices. Our present application is to compactness of products of topological spaces.

Let omega be the first infinite ordinal (or the set of all natural numbers) with the usual order <. In section 1 we show that, assuming the consistency of a supercompact cardinal, there may exist an ultrapower of omega, whose cardinality is…

We study both existence and nonexistence of nonnegative solutions for nonlinear elliptic problems with singular lower order terms that have natural growth with respect to the gradient, whose model is $$ \begin{cases} -\Delta u +…

An $R$-module $M$ is called absolutely self pure if for any finitely generated left ideal of $R$ whose kernel is in the filter generated by the set of all left ideals $L$ of $R$ with $L \supseteq$ ann $(m)$ for some $m \in M$, any map from…

We give a proof of Theorem 2.10 from [8] that eliminates the use of Shelah's nice filters and associated rank functions, and instead uses only the well-foundedness of reduced products of ordinals modulo countably complete filters. This…

We study the existence of infinite cliques in omega-automatic (hyper-)graphs. It turns out that the situation is much nicer than in general uncountable graphs, but not as nice as for automatic graphs. More specifically, we show that every…

The logic L^1_\theta introduced in [Sh:797]; it is the maximal logic below L_theta theta in which a well ordering is not definable. We investigate it for theta a compact cardinal. We prove it satisfies several parallel of classical theorems…

In this paper, we provide a combinatorial characterization of the elements of Schur ultrafilters on countable commutative groups. Using this characterization, we construct a free Schur ultrafilter on $\mathbb Z$ that is not infinitary…

We describe an $E_k$-cell structure on the free $E_{k+1}$-algebra on a point, and more generally describe how the May-Milgram filtration of $\Omega^m \Sigma^m S^{k}$ lifts to a filtration of the free $E_{k+m}$-algebra on a point by iterated…

Given an ordered structure, we study a natural way to extend the order to preorders on type spaces. For definably complete, linearly ordered structures, we give a characterisation of the preorder on the space of 1-types. We apply these…

Modulo the existence of large cardinals, there is a model of set theory in which for some set $B$ of regular cardinals, the sequence $\langle \text{pcf}^\alpha(B): \alpha \in \text{Ord} \rangle$ is strictly increasing. The result answers a…

We introduce and study a new class of $T_0$ spaces, called open well-filtered spaces. The main results we proved include (1) every well-filtered space is an open well-filtered space; (2) every core-compact open well-filtered space is sober.…
