Linear orders and MA + ¬wKH
I prove that the statement that “every linear order of size can be embedded in ” is consistent with MA + ¬ wKH.

We show that there is a universal control on the Szlenk index of a Lipschitz-quotient of a Banach space with countable Szlenk index. It is in particular the case when two Banach spaces are Lipschitz-homeomorphic. This provides information on the Cantor index of scattered compact sets and such that is a Lipschitz-quotient of (that is the case in particular when these two spaces are Lipschitz-homeomorphic). The proof requires tools of descriptive set theory.
We force and construct a model in which GCH and level by level equivalence between strong compactness and supercompactness hold, along with certain additional “L-like” combinatorial principles. In particular, this model satisfies the following properties: (1) holds for every successor and Mahlo cardinal δ. (2) There is a stationary subset S of the least supercompact cardinal κ₀ such that for every δ ∈ S, holds and δ carries a gap 1 morass. (3) A weak version of holds for every infinite cardinal...
An o-minimal expansion ℳ = ⟨M,<,+,0, ...⟩ of an ordered group is called semi-bounded if it does not expand a real closed field. Possibly, it defines a real closed field with bounded domain I ⊆ M. Let us call a definable set short if it is in definable bijection with a definable subset of some Iⁿ, and long otherwise. Previous work by Edmundo and Peterzil provided structure theorems for definable sets with respect to the dichotomy ’bounded versus unbounded’. Peterzil (2009) conjectured a refined...
Based on methods of structural convergence we provide a unifying view of local-global convergence, fitting to model theory and analysis. The general approach outlined here provides a possibility to extend the theory of local-global convergence to graphs with unbounded degrees. As an application, we extend previous results on continuous clustering of local convergent sequences and prove the existence of modeling quasi-limits for local-global convergent sequences of nowhere dense graphs.
There is a locally compact Hausdorff space which is linearly Lindelöf and not Lindelöf. This answers a question of Arhangel'skii and Buzyakova.
We work towards establishing that if it is consistent that there is a supercompact cardinal then it is consistent that every locally compact perfectly normal space is paracompact. At a crucial step we use some still unpublished results announced by Todorcevic. Modulo this and the large cardinal, this answers a question of S. Watson. Modulo these same unpublished results, we also show that if it is consistent that there is a supercompact cardinal, it is consistent that every locally compact space...
Let X be a compact Hausdorff space and M a metric space. is the set of f ∈ C(X,M) such that there is a dense set of points x ∈ X with f constant on some neighborhood of x. We describe some general classes of X for which is all of C(X,M). These include βℕ, any nowhere separable LOTS, and any X such that forcing with the open subsets of X does not add reals. In the case where M is a Banach space, we discuss the properties of as a normed linear space. We also build three first countable Eberlein...
Si dà, mediante condizioni per l'amalgamabilità di tre modelli, una caratterizzazione completa delle teorie localmente finite con model-compagno. Si introduce inoltre un concetto intermedio tra quelli di model-compagno e model-completamento.
Given an uncountable cardinal κ with and regular, we show that there is a forcing that preserves cofinalities less than or equal to and forces the existence of a well-order of H(κ⁺) that is definable over ⟨H(κ⁺),∈⟩ by a Σ₁-formula with parameters. This shows that, in contrast to the case "κ = ω", the existence of a locally definable well-order of H(κ⁺) of low complexity is consistent with failures of the GCH at κ. We also show that the forcing mentioned above introduces a Bernstein subset...
