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

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

Knaster and friends I: Closed colorings and precalibers

Joint work with Chris Lambie-Hanson. Abstract. The productivity of the $\kappa$-chain condition, where $\kappa$ is a regular, uncountable cardinal, has been the focus of a great deal of set-theoretic research. In the 1970s, consistent examples of $\kappa$-cc posets whose squares … Continue reading
