Full Souslin trees at small cardinals

Joint work with Shira Yadai and Zhixing You. Abstract. A κ-tree is full if each of its limit levels omits no more than one potential branch. Kunen asked whether a full κ-Souslin tree may consistently exist. Shelah gave an affirmative … Continue reading

A counterexample related to a theorem of Komjáth and Weiss

Joint work with Rodrigo Rey Carvalho. Abstract. In a paper from 1987, Komjath and Weiss proved that for every regular topological space X of character less than b, if X(top ω+1)ω1, then X(top α)ω1 for all α<ω1. In addition, … Continue reading

A Shelah group in ZFC

Joint work with Márk Poór. Abstract. In a paper from 1980, Shelah constructed an uncountable group all of whose proper subgroups are countable. Assuming the continuum hypothesis, he constructed an uncountable group G that moreover admits an integer n satisfying … Continue reading

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 (b) hold, then an instance of the guessing principle 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 Pr1(λ+,λ+,λ+,λ) holds for every inaccessible cardinal λ. Here, we prove that an affirmative answer follows from ◻(λ+).  Furthermore, we establish that for every pair χ<κ 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 ω together with the reflection of all stationary subsets of ω+1. This shows that two classical results of … Continue reading
