Walks on uncountable ordinals and non-structure theorems for higher Aronszajn lines

Joint work with Tanmay Inamdar. Abstract. It is proved that if there is an $\aleph_2$-Aronszajn line, then there is one that does not contain an $\aleph_2$-Countryman line. This solves a problem of Moore and stands in a sharp contrast with … Continue reading

The vanishing levels of a tree

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

A guessing principle from a Souslin tree, with applications to topology

Joint work with Roy Shalev. Abstract. We introduce a new combinatorial principle which we call $\clubsuit_{AD}$. This principle asserts the existence of a certain multi-ladder system with guessing and almost-disjointness features, and is shown to be sufficient for carrying out … Continue reading
