Let I be a sigma-ideal sigma-generated by a projective collection of closed sets. The forcing with I-positive Borel sets is proper and adds a single real r of an almost minimal degree: if s is a real in V[r] then s is Cohen generic over V…

In this paper we consider the Foreman's maximality principle, which says that any non-trivial forcing notion either adds a new real or collapses some cardinals. We prove the consistency of some of its consequences. We prove that it is…

We introduce a category whose objects are stationary set preserving complete boolean algebras and whose arrows are complete homomorphisms with a stationary set preserving quotient. We show that the cut of this category at a rank initial…

We show that the Proper Forcing Axiom for forcing notions of size $\aleph_1$ is consistent with the continuum being arbitrarily large. In fact, assuming $GCH$ holds and $\kappa\geq\omega_2$ is a regular cardinal, we prove that there is a…

Let $\mathcal{SN}$ be the $\sigma$-ideal of the strong measure zero sets of reals. We present general properties of forcing notions that allow to control of the additivity of $\mathcal{SN}$ after finite support iterations. This is applied…

Assuming the existence of a strong cardinal and a measurable cardinal above it, we construct a model of $ZFC$ in which for every singular cardinal $\delta$, $\delta$ is strong limit, $2^\delta=\delta^{+3}$ and the tree property at…

We prove a revised version of Laver's indestructibility theorem which slightly improves over the classical result. An application yields the consistency of $(\kappa^+,\kappa)\notcc(\aleph\_1,\aleph\_0)$ when $\kappa$ is supercompact. The…

We give a survey of cardinal charcteristics of the higher Cicho\'n diagram defined on the higher Baire space ${}^\kappa\kappa$ for $\kappa$ regular with $2^{<\kappa}=\kappa$. Specifically, we will compare consistency proofs from the…

Suppose that $X$ is a projective variety over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p > 0$. Further suppose that $L$ is an ample (or more generally in some sense positive) divisor. We study a natural linear system in $|K_X + L|$.…

We present a method to iterate finitely splitting lim-sup tree forcings along non-wellfounded linear orders. We apply this method to construct a forcing (without using an inaccessible or amalgamation) that makes all definable sets of reals…

This paper is a detailled study of the coding of real trees by real valued functions that is motivated by probabilistic problems related to continuum random trees. Indeed it is known since the works of Aldous (1993) and Le Gall (1991) that…

Theorem A and Theorem B of [1] state that for $1<p<\infty$ the lattice of closed ideals of $\mathcal{L}(\ell_p,c_0)$, $\mathcal{L}(\ell_p,\ell_\infty)$ and of $\mathcal{L}(\ell_1,\ell_p)$ are at least of cardinality $2^{\omega}$. Here we…

A tree T_uni is m-universal for the class of trees if for every tree T of size m, T can be obtained from T_uni by successive contractions of edges. We prove that a m-universal tree for the class of trees has at least mln(m) + (gamma-1)m +…

It is consistent that \[ \aleph_1 < \mathrm{add}(\mathrm{Null}) < \mathrm{add}(\mathrm{Meager})= \mathfrak{b} < \mathrm{cov}(\mathrm{Null}) < \mathrm{non}(\mathrm{Meager}) < \mathrm{cov}(\mathrm{Meager}) = 2^{\aleph_0}. \] Assuming four…

This paper presents a unified framework for determining the congruences on a number of monoids and categories of transformations, diagrams, matrices and braids, and on all their ideals. The key theoretical advances present an iterative…

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…

The main result of this paper is a partial answer to [math.LO/9909115, Problem 5.5]: a finite iteration of Universal Meager forcing notions adds generic filters for many forcing notions determined by universality parameters. We also give…

We introduce more properties of forcing notions which imply that their lambda-support iterations are lambda-proper, where lambda is an inaccessible cardinal. This paper is a direct continuation of section A.2 of math.LO/0210205. As an…

In \cite{MV} we defined and proved the consistency of the principle ${\rm GM}^+(\omega_3,\omega_1)$ which implies that many consequences of strong forcing axioms hold simultaneously at $\omega_2$ and $\omega_3$. In this paper we formulate a…

Given a forcing notion $P$ that forces certain values to several classical cardinal characteristics of the reals, we show how we can compose $P$ with a collapse (of a cardinal $\lambda>\kappa$ to $\kappa$) such that the composition still…
