A remark on Schimmerling’s question

Joint work with Ari Meir Brodsky. Abstract. Schimmerling asked whether ◻λ together with GCH entails the existence of a λ+-Souslin tree, for a singular cardinal λ. Here, we provide an affirmative answer under the additional assumption that there exists a … Continue reading

A microscopic approach to Souslin-tree constructions. Part I

Joint work with Ari Meir Brodsky. Abstract.  We propose a parameterized proxy principle from which κ-Souslin trees with various additional features can be constructed, regardless of the identity of κ. We then introduce the microscopic approach, which is a simple … Continue reading

Reduced powers of Souslin trees

Joint work with Ari Meir Brodsky. Abstract. We study the relationship between a κ-Souslin tree T and its reduced powers Tθ/U. Previous works addressed this problem from the viewpoint of a single power θ, whereas here, tools are developed … 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

On guessing generalized clubs at the successors of regulars

Abstract: Konig, Larson and Yoshinobu initiated the study of principles for guessing generalized clubs, and introduced a construction of an higher Souslin tree from the strong guessing principle. Complementary to the author’s work on the validity of diamond and non-saturation … Continue reading

On the consistency strength of the Milner-Sauer conjecture

Abstract: In their paper from 1981, Milner and Sauer conjectured that for any poset P, if cf(P) is a singular cardinal λ, then P must contain an antichain of size cf(λ). The conjecture is consistent and known … Continue reading
