Closed discrete subsets of separable spaces and relative versions of normality, countable paracompactness and property
In this paper we show that a separable space cannot include closed discrete subsets which have the cardinality of the continuum and satisfy relative versions of any of the following topological properties: normality, countable paracompactness and property . It follows that it is consistent that closed discrete subsets of a separable space which are also relatively normal (relatively countably paracompact, relatively ) in are necessarily countable. There are, however, consistent examples of...
Colimit-dense subcategories
Among cocomplete categories, the locally presentable ones can be defined as those with a strong generator consisting of presentable objects. Assuming Vopěnka’s Principle, we prove that a cocomplete category is locally presentable if and only if it has a colimit dense subcategory and a generator consisting of presentable objects. We further show that a -element set is colimit-dense in , and spaces of countable dimension are colimit-dense in .
Condensation and large cardinals
We introduce two generalized condensation principles: Local Club Condensation and Stationary Condensation. We show that while Strong Condensation (a generalized condensation principle introduced by Hugh Woodin) is inconsistent with an ω₁-Erdős cardinal, Stationary Condensation and Local Club Condensation (which should be thought of as weakenings of Strong Condensation) are both consistent with ω-superstrong cardinals.
Consistency of the Silver dichotomy in generalised Baire space
Silver’s fundamental dichotomy in the classical theory of Borel reducibility states that any Borel (or even co-analytic) equivalence relation with uncountably many classes has a perfect set of classes. The natural generalisation of this to the generalised Baire space for a regular uncountable κ fails in Gödel’s L, even for κ-Borel equivalence relations. We show here that Silver’s dichotomy for κ-Borel equivalence relations in for uncountable regular κ is however consistent (with GCH), assuming...
Continuity of characters in products of algebras
Continuous tree-like scales
Answering a question raised by Luis Pereira, we show that a continuous tree-like scale can exist above a supercompact cardinal. We also show that the existence of a continuous tree-like scale at ℵω is consistent with Martin’s Maximum.
