Fake Reflection

Joint work with Gabriel Fernandes and Miguel Moreno. Abstract. We introduce a generalization of stationary set reflection which we call filter reflection, and show it is compatible with the axiom of constructibility as well as with strong forcing axioms. We … Continue reading

A microscopic approach to Souslin-tree constructions. Part II

Joint work with Ari Meir Brodsky. Abstract. In Part I of this series, we presented the microscopic approach to Souslin-tree constructions, and argued that all known $\diamondsuit$-based constructions of Souslin trees with various additional properties may be rendered as applications of … 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

Knaster and friends II: The C-sequence number

Joint work with Chris Lambie-Hanson. Abstract. Motivated by a characterization of weakly compact cardinals due to Todorcevic, we introduce a new cardinal characteristic, the C-sequence number, which can be seen as a measure of the compactness of a regular uncountable … 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

Inclusion modulo nonstationary

Joint work with Gabriel Fernandes and Miguel Moreno. Abstract. A classical theorem of Hechler asserts that the structure $\left(\omega^\omega,\le^*\right)$ is universal in the sense that for any $\sigma$-directed poset $\mathbb P$ with no maximal element, there is a ccc forcing … Continue reading

Partitioning a reflecting stationary set

Joint work with Maxwell Levine. Abstract. We address the question of whether a reflecting stationary set may be partitioned into two or more reflecting stationary subsets, providing various affirmative answers in ZFC. As an application to singular cardinals combinatorics, we infer … Continue reading
