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

Was Ulam right? I: Basic theory and subnormal ideals

Joint work with Tanmay Inamdar. Abstract. We introduce various coloring principles which generalize the so-called onto mapping principle of Sierpinski to larger cardinals and general ideals. We prove that these principles capture the notion of an Ulam matrix and allow … Continue reading

Partitioning a reflecting stationary set

Joint work with Maxwell Levine. Abstract. We address the question of whether a reflecting stationary set may be partitioned into two or more reflecting stationary subsets, providing various affirmative answers in ZFC. As an application to singular cardinals combinatorics, we infer … Continue reading
