Winter School in Abstract Analysis, January 2023

I gave a 3-lecture tutorial at the Winter School in Abstract Analysis in Steken, January 2023. Title: Club guessing Abstract. Club guessing principles were introduced by Shelah as a weakening of Jensen’s diamond. Most spectacularly, they were used to prove … Continue reading

Sums of triples in Abelian groups

Joint work with Ido Feldman. Abstract. Motivated by a problem in additive Ramsey theory, we extend Todorcevic’s partitions of three-dimensional combinatorial cubes to handle additional three-dimensional objects. As a corollary, we get that if the continuum hypothesis fails, then for … Continue reading

A club guessing toolbox I

Joint work with Tanmay Inamdar. Abstract. Club guessing principles were introduced by Shelah as a weakening of Jensen’s diamond. Most spectacularly, they were used to prove Shelah’s ZFC bound on the power of the first singular cardinal. These principles have … Continue reading

Ramsey theory over partitions II: Negative Ramsey relations and pump-up theorems

Joint work with Menachem Kojman and Juris Steprāns. Abstract. In this series of papers, we advance Ramsey theory of colorings over partitions. In this part, we concentrate on anti-Ramsey relations, or, as they are better known, strong colorings, and in … Continue reading

A new small Dowker space

Joint work with Roy Shalev and Stevo Todorcevic. Abstract. It is proved that if there exists a Luzin set, or if either the stick principle or $\diamondsuit(\mathfrak b)$ hold, then an instance of the guessing principle $\clubsuit_{AD}$ holds at the … Continue reading

Was Ulam right? II: Small width and general ideals

Joint work with Tanmay Inamdar. Abstract. We continue our study of Sierpinski-type colourings. In contrast to the prequel paper, we focus here on colourings for ideals stratified by their completeness degree. In particular, improving upon Ulam’s theorem and its extension … Continue reading

MFO workshop in Set Theory, January 2022

I gave an invited talk at the Set Theory meeting in Obwerwolfach, January 2022. Talk Title: A dual of Juhasz’ question Abstract: Juhasz asked whether $\clubsuit$ implies the existence of a Souslin tree. Here we settle the dual problem of … Continue reading

Complicated colorings, revisited

Joint work with Jing Zhang. Abstract. In a paper from 1997, Shelah asked whether $Pr_1(\lambda^+,\lambda^+,\lambda^+,\lambda)$ holds for every inaccessible cardinal $\lambda$. Here, we prove that an affirmative answer follows from $\square(\lambda^+)$.  Furthermore, we establish that for every pair $\chi<\kappa$ of … Continue reading
