A new model for all C-sequences are trivial

Joint work with Zhixing You and Jiachen Yuan. Abstract. We construct a model in which all C-sequences are trivial, yet there exists a $\kappa$-Souslin tree with full vanishing levels. This answers a question from a previous paper, and provides an … Continue reading

Ketonen’s question and other cardinal sins

Joint work with Zhixing You and Jiachen Yuan. Abstract. Answering a question of Ketonen from the late 1970’s, it is proved that a weakly compact cardinal carrying an indecomposable ultrafilter need not be measurable. The result is obtained by analyzing … Continue reading

Squares, ultrafilters and forcing axioms

Joint work with Chris Lambie-Hanson and Jing Zhang. Abstract. We study the interplay of the three families of combinatorial objects or principles. Specifically, we show the following. Strong forcing axioms, in general incompatible with the existence of indexed squares, can … Continue reading

The vanishing levels of a tree

Joint work with Shira Yadai and Zhixing You. Abstract. We initiate the study of the spectrum of sets that can be realized as the vanishing levels $V(\mathbf T)$ of a normal $\kappa$-tree $\mathbf T$. This is an invariant in the … 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

A microscopic approach to Souslin-tree constructions. Part II

Joint work with Ari Meir Brodsky. Abstract. In Part I of this series, we presented the microscopic approach to Souslin-tree constructions, and argued that all known $\diamondsuit$-based constructions of Souslin trees with various additional properties may be rendered as applications of … 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
