Generalizations of Martin’s Axiom and the well-met condition

Recall that Martin’s Axiom asserts that for every partial order P satisfying c.c.c., and for any family D of <20 many dense subsets of P, there exists a directed subset G of P such that $G\cap … Continue reading

The uniformization property for 2

Given a subset of a regular uncountable cardinal Sκ, UPS (read: “the uniformization property holds for S”) asserts that for every sequence f=fααS satisfying for all αS: fα is a 2-valued function; dom(fα) is a … Continue reading

c.c.c. forcing without combinatorics

In this post, we shall discuss a short paper by Alan Mekler from 1984, concerning a non-combinatorial verification of the c.c.c. property for forcing notions. Recall that a notion of forcing P is said to satisfy the c.c.c. iff … Continue reading

Jensen’s diamond principle and its relatives

This is chapter 6 in the book Set Theory and Its Applications (ISBN: 0821848127). Abstract: We survey some recent results on the validity of Jensen’s diamond principle at successor cardinals. We also discuss weakening of this principle such as club … 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
