On a problem of Steve Kalikow

Saharon Shelah (2000)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

The Kalikow problem for a pair (λ,κ) of cardinal numbers,λ > κ (in particular κ = 2) is whether we can map the family of ω-sequences from λ to the family of ω-sequences from κ in a very continuous manner. Namely, we demand that for η,ν ∈ ω we have: η, ν are almost equal if and only if their images are. We show consistency of the negative answer, e.g., for ω but we prove it for smaller cardinals. We indicate a close connection with the free subset property and its variants. ...

A new large cardinal and Laver sequences for extendibles

Paul Corazza (1997)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We define a new large cardinal axiom that fits between A 3 and A 4 in the hierarchy of axioms described in [SRK]. We use this new axiom to obtain a Laver sequence for extendible cardinals, improving the known large cardinal upper bound for the existence of such sequences.

Extending real-valued functions in βκ

Alan Dow (1997)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

An Open Coloring Axiom type principle is formulated for uncountable cardinals and is shown to be a consequence of the Proper Forcing Axiom. Several applications are found. We also study dense C*-embedded subspaces of ω*, showing that there can be such sets of cardinality c and that it is consistent that ω*{pis C*-embedded for some but not all p ∈ ω*.

Dominating analytic families

Anastasis Kamburelis (1998)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let A be an analytic family of sequences of sets of integers. We show that either A is dominated or it contains a continuum of almost disjoint sequences. From this we obtain a theorem by Shelah that a Suslin c.c.c. forcing adds a Cohen real if it adds an unbounded real.

Monotone σ-complete groups with unbounded refinement

Friedrich Wehrung (1996)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

The real line ℝ may be characterized as the unique non-atomic directed partially ordered abelian group which is monotone σ-complete (countable increasing bounded sequences have suprema), has the countable refinement property (countable sums m a m = n b n of positive (possibly infinite) elements have common refinements) and is linearly ordered. We prove here that the latter condition is not redundant, thus solving an old problem by A. Tarski, by proving that there are many spaces (in particular,...

Forcing tightness in products of fans

Jörg Brendle, Tim La Berge (1996)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We prove two theorems that characterize tightness in certain products of fans in terms of families of integer-valued functions. We also define several notions of forcing that allow us to manipulate the structure of the set of functions from some cardinal θ to ω, and hence, the tightness of these products. These results give new constructions of first countable <θ-cwH spaces that are not ≤θ-cwH.
