Given a module $X$ and a regular cardinal $\kappa$ we study various notions of $(\kappa,\mathrm{Add}(X))$-freeness and $(\kappa,\mathrm{Add}(X))$-separability. Bearing on appropriate set-theoretic assumptions, we construct a non-trivial…

There has been a long-standing question about whether being perfectoid for an algebra is local in the analytic topology. We provide affirmative answers for the algebras (e.g., over $\overline{\mathbb{Z}_p}$) whose spectra are inverse limits…

We prove that if there are $\mathfrak c$ incomparable selective ultrafilters then, for every infinite cardinal $\kappa$ such that $\kappa^\omega=\kappa$, there exists a group topology on the free Abelian group of cardinality $\kappa$…

From a suitable large cardinal hypothesis, we provide a model with a supercompact cardinal in which universal indestructibility holds: every supercompact and partially supercompact cardinal kappa is fully indestructible by kappa-directed…

A completeness conjecture is advanced concerning the free small-colimit completion P(A) of a (possibly large) category A. The conjecture is based on the existence of a small generating-cogenerating set of objects in A. We sketch how the…

The property of countable metacompactness of a topological space gets its importance from Dowker's 1951 theorem that the product of a normal space X with the unit interval is again normal iff X is countably metacompact. In a recent paper,…

A stationary subset $S$ of a regular uncountable cardinal $\kappa$ {\it reflects fully} at regular cardinals if for every stationary set $T \subseteq \kappa$ of higher order consisting of regular cardinals there exists an $\alpha \in T$…

The additivity spectrum ADD(I) of an ideal I is the set of all regular cardinals kappa such that there is an increasing chain {A_alpha:alpha<kappa\} in the ideal I such that the union of the chain is not in I. We investigate which set A of…

In 1978, Schaefer proved his famous dichotomy theorem for generalized satisfiability problems. He defined an infinite number of propositional satisfiability problems, showed that all these problems are either in P or NP-complete, and gave a…

We investigate forcing properties of perfect tree forcings defined by Prikry to answer a question of Solovay in the late 1960's regarding first failures of distributivity. Given a strictly increasing sequence of regular cardinals $\langle…

Let $\pi: Y\rightarrow X$ be a continuous surjection between compact Hausdorff spaces $Y$ and $X$ which is irreducible in the sense that if $F\subsetneq Y$ is closed, then $\pi(F)\neq X$. We exhibit isomorphisms between various Boolean…

Given an uncountable cardinal $\kappa$, we consider the question of whether subsets of the power set of $\kappa$ that are usually constructed with the help of the Axiom of Choice are definable by $\Sigma_1$-formulas that only use the…

We study ideals $\mathcal{I}$ on $\mathbb{N}$ satisfying the following Baire-type property: if $X$ is a complete metric space and $\{X_{A} \colon A \in \mathcal{I} \}$ is a family of nowhere dense subsets of $X$ with $X_{A} \subset X_{B}$…

We conjecture the equality of the numerical and Kodaira dimensions $\nu_1^*(X)$ and $\kappa_1^*(X)$ for the cotangent bundle of compact K\"ahler manifolds $X$, generalising the classical case of the canonical bundle. We show or reduce it to…

A space X is kappa-resolvable (resp. almost kappa-resolvable) if it contains kappa dense sets that are pairwise disjoint (resp. almost disjoint over the ideal of nowhere dense subsets of X). Answering a problem raised by Juhasz, Soukup, and…

We prove the consistency of irr(prod limits_{i<kappa}B_i/D)< prod limits_{i<kappa}irr(B_i)/D, where D is an ultrafilter on kappa and each B_i is a Boolean Algebra. This solves the last problem of this form from the Monk's list of problems,…

In the literature on Kleene algebra (KA), a number of variants have been proposed such as Kleene algebra with tests, commutative KA, bi-KA, and concurrent KA. The equational theories of some of these structures have then been studied in the…

We consider three lifting questions: Given a $C\sp{*}$-algebra $I$, if there is a unital $C\sp{*}$-algebra $A$ contains $I$ as an ideal, is every unitary from $A/I$ lifted to a unitary in $A$? is every unitary from $A/I$ lifted to an…

A Q-set is an uncountable set of reals all of whose subsets are relative $G_\delta$ sets. We prove that, for an arbitrary uncountable cardinal kappa, there is consistently a Q-set of size $\kappa$ whose square is not Q. This answers a…

We show, assuming the consistency of one measurable cardinal, that it is consistent for there to be exactly kappa+ many normal measures on the least measurable cardinal kappa. This answers a question of Stewart Baldwin. The methods…
