Shelah’s approachability ideal (part 1)
Given an infinite cardinal
Review: Is classical set theory compatible with quantum experiments?
Yesterday, I attended a talk at the Quantum Foundations seminar at the beautiful Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics (Waterloo, Ontario). The (somewhat provocative) title of the talk was “Is Classical Set Theory Compatible with Quantum Experiments?”, and the speaker was Radu … Continue reading
Comparing rectangles with squares through rainbow sets
In Todorcevic’s class last week, he proved all the results of Chapter 8 from his Walks on Ordinals book, up to (and including) Theorem 8.1.11. The upshots are as follows: Every regular infinite cardinal
Pure logic
While traveling downtown today, I came across a sign near a local church, with a quotation of Saint-Exupéry:
Jane’s Addiction visiting Toronto
Last night, I went to see a live show by Jane’s Addiction, in downtown Toronto. Here’s a video snippet from that show which I could found on YouTube: The playlist was excellent, but there was one song which I was … Continue reading
c.c.c. vs. the Knaster property
After my previous post on Mekler’s characterization of c.c.c. notions of forcing, Sam, Mike and myself discussed the value of it . We noticed that a prevalent verification of the c.c.c. goes like this: given an uncountable set of conditions, … Continue reading
Dushnik-Miller for regular cardinals (part 3)
Here is what we already know about the Dushnik-Miller theorem in the case of
A large cardinal in the constructible universe
In this post, we shall provide a proof of Silver’s theorem that the Erdos caridnal
