Partition relations for trees II: Entangled linear orders

Joint work with Tanmay Inamdar. Abstract. We find new sufficient conditions for the existence of entangled linear orders. The constructions use anti-Ramsey colourings for trees, and they provide a fine control on the extent of entangledness. As an application, from … Continue reading

More notions of forcing add a square

Joint work with Yair Hayut and Zhixing You. Abstract.  Foreman and Magidor showed that the continuum hypothesis implies the existence of a countably-closed $\aleph_2$-cc forcing notion $\mathbb P$ for adding $\square_{\omega_1}$. Here, we show that $\mathbb P$ may consistently be … Continue reading

40th summer conference on topology and its applications

I gave an invited talk at the General and Set-Theoretic Topology session of the 40th summer conference on topology and its applications, July 2026. Talk title: A tree-based perfectly normal space whose square is not countably metacompact. Abstract. The study … Continue reading

Partition relations for trees I: Incomparable trees

Joint work with Tanmay Inamdar. Abstract. Todorcevic proved that Martin’s axiom implies that every two coherent $\aleph_1$-Aronszajn trees are comparable. Here, from cardinal arithmetic assumptions, we obtain the failure of the analogous statement for higher trees. In particular, for every … Continue reading

The power of trees

Joint work with Ari Meir Brodsky and Shira Yadai. Abstract. We give two consistent constructions of trees $T$ whose finite power $T^{n+1}$ is sharply different from $T^n$: An $\aleph_1$-tree $T$ whose interval topology $X_T$ is perfectly normal, but $(X_T)^2$ is … Continue reading

Was Ulam right? III: Indecomposable ideals

Joint work with Tanmay Inamdar. Abstract. We continue our study of Ulam’s measure problem. In contrast to our previous works, we shift our focus from measures stratified by their additivity, to measures stratified by their indecomposability. The breakthrough here is … Continue reading

A new model for all C-sequences are trivial

Joint work with Zhixing You and Jiachen Yuan. Abstract. We construct a model in which all C-sequences are trivial, yet there exists a $\kappa$-Souslin tree with full vanishing levels. This answers a question from a previous paper, and provides an … Continue reading

Walks on uncountable ordinals and non-structure theorems for higher Aronszajn lines

Joint work with Tanmay Inamdar. Abstract. We investigate global structural properties of linear orders of a fixed infinite size. It is classical that the countable linear orders and the continuum-sized orders exhibit contrasting behaviours. Modern results show that strong extensions … Continue reading

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

A model for global compactness

Joint work with Sittinon Jirattikansakul and Inbar Oren. Abstract. In a classical paper by Ben-David and Magidor, a model of set theory was exhibited in which $\aleph_{\omega+1}$ carries a uniform ultrafilter that is $\theta$-indecomposable for every uncountable $\theta<\aleph_\omega$. In this … Continue reading
