Chromatic numbers of graphs – large gaps

Abstract. We say that a graph G is (0,κ)-chromatic if Chr(G)=κ, while Chr(G)0 for any subgraph G of G of size <|G|. The main result of this paper reads as follows. If  ◻λ+CHλ holds for a given uncountable cardinal λ, … Continue reading

A topological reflection principle equivalent to Shelah’s strong hypothesis

Abstract: We notice that Shelah’s Strong Hypothesis (SSH) is equivalent to the following reflection principle: Suppose X is an (infinite) first-countable space whose density is a regular cardinal, κ. If every separable subspace of X is of cardinality at most … Continue reading

Openly generated Boolean algebras and the Fodor-type reflection principle

Joint work with Sakaé Fuchino. Abstract: We prove that the Fodor-type Reflection Principle (FRP) is equivalent to the assertion that any Boolean algebra is openly generated if and only if it is 2-projective. Previously it was known that this … Continue reading
