The proper forcing axiom and stationary set reflection [PDF]
Our main result is that the proper forcing axiom (PFA) is equiconsistent with ``PFA \(+\) there is a nonreflecting stationary subset of \(\omega_ 2''\).

On the consistency strength of the proper forcing axiom
Recently the second author introduced combinatorial principles that characterize supercompactness for inaccessible cardinals but can also hold true for small cardinals. We prove that the proper forcing axiom PFA implies these principles hold for $ω_2$.

The Proper Forcing Axiom, Prikry forcing, and the Singular Cardinals Hypothesis
The purpose of this paper is to present some results which suggest that the Singular Cardinals Hypothesis follows from the Proper Forcing Axiom. What will be proved is that a form of simultaneous reflection follows from the Set Mapping Reflection Principle, a consequence of PFA.

The bounded proper forcing axiom and well orderings of the reals [PDF]
We show that the bounded proper forcing axiom BPFA implies that there is a well-ordering of P(ω_1) which is Δ_1 definable with parameter a subset of ω_1. Our proof shows that if BPFA holds then any inner model of the universe of sets that correctly computes N_2 and also satisfies BPFA must contain all subsets of ω_1.

Proper forcing axiom and selective separability
Selectively separable (or SS) spaces are becoming popular nowadays; perhaps less popular are SS\(^+\)-spaces which are those in which player II has a winning strategy for the following natural game: player I picks a dense set \(D_n\); player II picks a finite set \(E_n\subseteq D_n\). Player II wins if \(\bigcup_{n\in\omega}E_n\) is dense. In the paper

Internal forcing axioms: Martin's axiom and the proper forcing axiom
This introductory-expository paper contains the basic definitions as well as the most important first consequences of Martin's axiom as the generalization of the Baire category theorem, the non-existence of Luzin sets, results on \(Q\)-sets, non-existence of Suslin trees. The definition of the proper forcing axiom is also given.

Recently, David Aspero and Miguel Angel Mota discovered a new method of iterated forcing using models as side conditions. The side condition method with models was introduced by Stevo Todorcevic in the 1980s. The Aspero–Mota iteration enables us to force some $\Pi_2$-statements over $H(\aleph_2)$ with the continuum greater than $\aleph_2$.

The bounded proper forcing axiom [PDF]
AbstractThe bounded proper forcing axiom BPFA is the statement that for any family of ℵ1 many maximal antichains of a proper forcing notion, each of size ℵ1, there is a directed set meeting all these antichains.A regular cardinal κ is called ∑1-reflecting, if for any regular cardinal χ, for all formulas φ, “H(χ) ⊨ ‘φ’” implies “∃δ < κ, H(δ) ⊨ ‘φ ...

Strong homology and the proper forcing axiom [PDF]
This paper concerns applications of set theory to the problem of calculating the strong homology of certain subsets of Euclidean spaces. We prove the set theoretic result that it is consistent that every almost coinciding family indexed by
