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

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

Sigma-Prikry forcing III: Down to Aleph_omega

Joint work with Alejandro Poveda and Dima Sinapova. Abstract. We prove the consistency of the failure of the singular cardinals hypothesis at $\aleph_\omega$ together with the reflection of all stationary subsets of $\aleph_{\omega+1}$. This shows that two classical results of … Continue reading

Was Ulam right? I: Basic theory and subnormal ideals

Joint work with Tanmay Inamdar. Abstract. We introduce various coloring principles which generalize the so-called onto mapping principle of Sierpinski to larger cardinals and general ideals. We prove that these principles capture the notion of an Ulam matrix and allow … Continue reading

Knaster and friends III: Subadditive colorings

Joint work with Chris Lambie-Hanson. Abstract. We continue our study of strongly unbounded colorings, this time focusing on subadditive maps. In Part I of this series, we showed that, for many pairs of infinite cardinals $\theta < \kappa$, the existence … Continue reading

Strongest transformations

Joint work with Jing Zhang. Abstract. We continue our study of maps transforming high-dimensional complicated objects into squares of stationary sets. Previously, we proved that many such transformations exist in ZFC, and here we address the consistency of the strongest … Continue reading
