Critical Cardinals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
We introduce the notion of a critical cardinal as the critical point of sufficiently strong elementary embedding between transitive sets. Assuming the axiom of choice this is equivalent to measurability, but it is well-known that choice is necessary for ...

Indestructible strong compactness but not supercompactness

open access: yes, 2012
Starting from a supercompact cardinal κ, we force and construct a model in which κ is both the least strongly compact and least supercompact cardinal and κ’s strong compactness, but not its supercompactness, is indestructible under arbitrary κ-directed ...

Small embeddings, forcing with side conditions, and large cardinal characterizations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
In this thesis, we provide new characterizations for several well-studied large cardinal notions. These characterizations will be of two types. Motivated by seminal work of Magidor, the first type characterizes large cardinals through the existence of so-

CHANG’S CONJECTURE, GENERIC ELEMENTARY EMBEDDINGS AND INNER MODELS FOR HUGE CARDINALS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We introduce a natural principle Strong Chang Reflection strengthening the classical Chang Conjectures. This principle is between a huge and a two huge cardinal in consistency strength.

Stationary Reflection and the failure of SCH

open access: yes, 2023
In this paper we prove that from large cardinals it is consistent that there is a singular strong limit cardinal $\nu$ such that the singular cardinal hypothesis fails at $\nu$ and every collection of fewer than $\mathrm{cf}(\nu)$ stationary subsets of $\

Chang's conjecture may fail at supercompact cardinals

open access: yes, 2006
We prove a revised version of Laver's indestructibility theorem which slightly improves over the classical result. An application yields the consistency of $(\kappa^+,\kappa)\notcc(\aleph_1,\aleph_0)$ when $\kappa$ is supercompact. The actual proofs show

On Löwenheim-Skolem-Tarski numbers for extensions of first order logic

open access: yes, 2011
We show that, assuming the consistency of a supercompact cardinal, the first (weakly) inaccessible cardinal can satisfy a strong form of a Löwenheim-Skolem-Tarski theorem for the equicardinality logic L(I), a logic introduced in [5] strictly between ...

THE LEAST WEAKLY COMPACT CARDINAL CAN BE UNFOLDABLE, WEAKLY MEASURABLE AND NEARLY θ-SUPERCOMPACT

open access: yes, 2013
We provefrom suitable largecardinalhypothesesthat the least weakly compact cardinal can be unfoldable, weakly measurable and even nearly θ-supercompact, for any desired θ.

FORCING AXIOMS, SUPERCOMPACT CARDINALS, SINGULAR CARDINAL COMBINATORICS

open access: yes, 2007
The purpose of this communication is to present some recent advances on the consequences that forcing axioms and large cardinals have on the combinatorics of singular cardinals.
