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

Sigma-Prikry forcing II: Iteration Scheme

Joint work with Alejandro Poveda and Dima Sinapova. Abstract. In Part I of this series, we introduced a class of notions of forcing which we call $\Sigma$-Prikry, and showed that many of the known Prikry-type notions of forcing that centers … Continue reading

Sigma-Prikry forcing I: The Axioms

Joint work with Alejandro Poveda and Dima Sinapova. Abstract. We introduce a class of notions of forcing which we call $\Sigma$-Prikry, and show that many of the known Prikry-type notions of forcing that centers around singular cardinals of countable cofinality … Continue reading

More notions of forcing add a Souslin tree

Joint work with Ari Meir Brodsky. Abstract.   An $\aleph_1$-Souslin tree is a complicated combinatorial object whose existence cannot be decided on the grounds of ZFC alone. But 15 years after Tennenbaum and independently Jech devised notions of forcing for introducing … Continue reading

Ordinal definable subsets of singular cardinals

Joint work with James Cummings, Sy-David Friedman, Menachem Magidor, and Dima Sinapova. Abstract. A remarkable result by Shelah states that if $\kappa$ is a singular strong limit cardinal of uncountable cofinality then there is a subset $x$ of $\kappa$ such … Continue reading

Dushnik-Miller for singular cardinals (part 2)

In the first post on this subject, we provided a proof of $\lambda\rightarrow(\lambda,\omega+1)^2$ for every regular uncountable cardinal $\lambda$. In the second post, we provided a proof of $\lambda\rightarrow(\lambda,\omega)^2$ for every singular cardinal $\lambda$, and showed that $\lambda\rightarrow(\lambda,\omega+1)^2$ fails for every … Continue reading

Dushnik-Miller for singular cardinals (part 1)

Continuing the previous post, let us now prove the following. Theorem (Erdos-Dushnik-Miller, 1941). For every singular cardinal λ, we have: $$\lambda\rightarrow(\lambda,\omega)^2.$$ Proof. Suppose that $\lambda$ is a singular cardinal, and $c:[\lambda]^2\rightarrow\{0,1\}$ is a given coloring. For any ordinal $\alpha<\lambda$, denote … Continue reading

On topological spaces of singular density and minimal weight

Abstract: We introduce a weakening of the Generalized Continuum Hypothesis, which we will refer to as the Prevalent Singular cardinals Hypothesis (PSH), and show it implies that every topological space of density and weight $\aleph_{\omega_1}$ is not hereditarily Lindelöf. The assumption … Continue reading
