We prove from the existence of a Mahlo cardinal the consistency of the statement that $2^ω= ω_3$ holds and every stationary subset of $ω_2 \cap \mathrm{cof}(ω)$ reflects to an ordinal less than $ω_2$ with cofinality $ω_1$.

We modify arguments by Harrington, Marker, and Shelah, 1990, to reprove extensions of two key results in their paper "Borel orderings"in the context of bounding and decomposition of analytic subsets of Borel partial quasi-orderings.
We generalize Harrington-Marker-Shelah's Dilworth-style characterization of the existence of non-empty perfect antichains to co-analytic quasi-orders, establish the analogous theorem at the next definable cardinal, and consider generalizations beyond the first level of the projective hierarchy.
We show that if for any two elementary equivalent structures $\mathbf{M}, \mathbf{N}$ of size at most continuum in a countable language, $\mathbf{M}^ω/ \mathcal{U} \simeq \mathbf{N}^ω/ \mathcal{U}$ for some ultrafilter $\mathcal{U}$ on $ω,$ then $CH$ holds. We also provide some consistency results about Keisler and Shelah isomorphism theorems in the absence of $CH$.
We show that the Abraham-Rubin-Shelah Open Coloring Axiom is consistent with a large continuum, in particular, consistent with $2^{\aleph_0}=\aleph_3$. This answers one of the main open questions from the 1985 paper of Abraham-Rubin-Shelah. As in their paper, we need to construct names for so-called preassignments of colors in order to add the necessary homogeneous sets. However, these names are constructed over models satisfying the CH. In order to address this difficulty, we show how to construct such names with very strong symmetry conditions. This symmetry allows us to combine them in many…
We continue the investigation started in [Sh:1215] about the relation between the Keilser-Shelah isomorphism theorem and the continuum hypothesis. In particular, we show it is consistent that the continuum hypothesis fails and for any given sequence $\mathbf m=\langle (\mathbb{M}^{1}_n, \mathbb{M}^{2}_n: n < ω\rangle$ of models of size at most $\aleph_1$ in a countable language, if the sequence satisfies a mild extra property, then for every non-principal ultrafilter $\mathcal D$ on $ω$, if the ultraproducts $\prod\limits_{\mathcal D} \mathbb{M}^{1}_n$ and $\prod\limits_{\mathcal D} \mathbb{M}…
A generic absoluteness principle consistent with large continuum
本研究提出一种新的通用绝对性原理，并借助Shelah记忆迭代技术验证了该原理与大连续统的相容性，为数理逻辑相关研究提供了新的参考。
A Shelah group in ZFC
本文仅基于ZFC公理系统（不依赖连续统假设）成功构造了Shelah群，提出了源自负方括号划分关系等理论的组合条件，并证明了其对正则基数后继成立，同时给出了极限基数大小的首个一致示例。
We prove that any countable support iteration formed with posets with $ω_2$-p.i.c.\ has $ω_2$-c.c., assuming CH in the ground model and assuming also that $ω_1$ is not collapsed. This improves earlier results of Shelah by removing the restriction on the length of the iteration. Thus, we solve the problem of obtaining a large continuum via such forcing iterations.
We classify many cardinal characteristics of the continuum according to the complexity, in the sense of descriptive set theory, of their definitions. The simplest characteristics (boldface Sigma^0_2 and, under suitable restrictions, Pi^0_2) are shown to have pleasant properties, related to Baire category. We construct models of set theory where (unrestricted) boldface Pi^0_2-characteristics behave quite chaotically and no new characteristics appear at higher complexity levels. We also discuss some characteristics associated with partition theorems and we present, in an appendix, a simplified p…
Miller's 1937 splitting theorem was proved for pairs of cardinals $(\n,ρ)$ in which $n$ is finite and $ρ$ is infinite. An extension of Miller's theorem is proved here in ZFC for pairs of cardinals $(ν,ρ)$ in which $ν$ is arbitrary and $ρ\ge \beth_\om(ν)$. The proof uses a new general method that is based on Shelah's revises Generalized Continuum Hypothesis theorem. Upper bounds on conflict-free coloring numbers of families of sets and a general comparison theorem follow as corollaries of the main theorem. Other corollaries eliminate the use of additional axioms from splitting theorems due to E…
We discuss the effect of adding a single real (for various forcing notions adding reals) on cardinal invariants associated with the continuum (like the unbounding or the dominating number or the cardinals related to measure and category on the real line). For random and Cohen forcing, this question was investigated by Cicho'n and Pawlikowski; for Hechler forcing, by Judah, Shelah and myself. We show here: (1) adding an eventually different or a localization real adjoins a Luzin set of size continuum and a mad family of size omega_1; (2) Laver and Mathias forcing collapse the dominating number …
The proper forcing axiom for $\aleph_1$-sized posets, $ω_1$-linked symmetrically proper forcing, and the size of the continuum
本文证明针对 $\aleph_1$ 规模偏序集的真力迫公理与任意大的连续统相容，并进一步构造模型同时满足 Martin's Maximum 及多种组合原则。
Since being isolated by Viale and Weiss in 2009, the Guessing Model Property has emerged as a particularly prominent and powerful consequence of the Proper Forcing Axiom. In this paper, we investigate connections between variations of the Guessing Model Property and cardinal arithmetic, broadly construed. We improve upon results of Viale and Krueger by proving that a weakening of the Guessing Model Property implies Shelah's Strong Hypothesis. We also prove that, though the Guessing Model Property is known not to put an upper bound on the size of the continuum, it does imply that $2^{ω_1}$ is a…
