Ketonen’s question and other cardinal sins
Joint work with Zhixing You and Jiachen Yuan. Abstract. Answering a question of Ketonen from the late 1970’s, it is proved that a weakly compact cardinal carrying an indecomposable ultrafilter need not be measurable. The result is obtained by analyzing … Continue reading
120 Years of Choice, July 2024
I gave an invited talk at the 120 Years of Choice conference, July 2024. Talk Title: Mathematician’s best friend Abstract: Jensen’s diamond is a very useful postulate. It is well-known that it implies the continuum hypothesis, that it is equivalent … Continue reading
Diamond on Kurepa trees
Joint work with Ziemek Kostana and Saharon Shelah. Abstract. We introduce a new weak variation of diamond that is meant to guess only the branches of a Kurepa tree. We demonstrate that this variation is considerably weaker than diamond by … Continue reading
Proxy principles in combinatorial set theory
Joint work with Ari Meir Brodsky and Shira Yadai. Abstract. The parameterized proxy principles were introduced by Brodsky and Rinot in a 2017 paper as new foundations for the construction of $\kappa$-Souslin trees in a uniform way that does not … Continue reading
Squares, ultrafilters and forcing axioms
Joint work with Chris Lambie-Hanson and Jing Zhang. Abstract. We study the interplay of the three families of combinatorial objects or principles. Specifically, we show the following. Strong forcing axioms, in general incompatible with the existence of indexed squares, can … Continue reading
May the successor of a singular cardinal be Jonsson?
Abstract: Whether the successor of a singular cardinal can be Jónsson is a very old and famous open problem in set theory. Here, we collect necessary conditions for an affirmative answer, and put forward a list of closely-related questions in … Continue reading

The vanishing levels of a tree
Joint work with Shira Yadai and Zhixing You. Abstract. We initiate the study of the spectrum of sets that can be realized as the vanishing levels $V(\mathbf T)$ of a normal $\kappa$-tree $\mathbf T$. This is an invariant in the … Continue reading
