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

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

Knaster and friends III: Subadditive colorings

Joint work with Chris Lambie-Hanson. Abstract. We continue our study of strongly unbounded colorings, this time focusing on subadditive maps. In Part I of this series, we showed that, for many pairs of infinite cardinals $\theta < \kappa$, the existence … Continue reading

Transformations of the transfinite plane

Joint work with Jing Zhang. Abstract. We study the existence of transformations of the transfinite plane that allow one to reduce Ramsey-theoretic statements concerning uncountable Abelian groups into classical partition relations for uncountable cardinals. To exemplify: we prove that for every … 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

Higher Souslin trees and the GCH, revisited

Abstract.  It is proved that for every uncountable cardinal $\lambda$, GCH+$\square(\lambda^+)$ entails the existence of a $\text{cf}(\lambda)$-complete $\lambda^+$-Souslin tree. In particular, if GCH holds and there are no $\aleph_2$-Souslin trees, then $\aleph_2$ is weakly compact in Godel’s constructible universe, improving … Continue reading

Reduced powers of Souslin trees

Joint work with Ari Meir Brodsky. Abstract. We study the relationship between a $\kappa$-Souslin tree $T$ and its reduced powers $T^\theta/\mathcal U$. Previous works addressed this problem from the viewpoint of a single power $\theta$, whereas here, tools are developed … Continue reading

Complicated colorings

Abstract. If $\lambda,\kappa$ are regular cardinals, $\lambda>\kappa^+$, and $E^\lambda_{\ge\kappa}$ admits a nonreflecting stationary set, then $\text{Pr}_1(\lambda,\lambda,\lambda,\kappa)$ holds. (Recall that  $\text{Pr}_1(\lambda,\lambda,\lambda,\kappa)$ asserts the existence of  a coloring $d:[\lambda]^2\rightarrow\lambda$ such that for any family $\mathcal A\subseteq[\lambda]^{<\kappa}$ of size $\lambda$, consisting of pairwise … Continue reading
