Diamonds on supercompact $\kappa$ after a $\kappa$-c.c. forcing
Let $\kappa$ be supercompact. Then the (supercompact) Laver diamond holds at $\kappa$: There is $f:\kappa\to V_\kappa$ such that for all $\lambda\geq \kappa$ and $x\in H(\lambda^+)$ there is $j:V\to M$...

Consistency of Sigma-V-2 uniformization with AD
Is ZF + AD consistent with: For every real $r$, every true $Σ^V_2(r)$ statement has a $Δ^V_2(r)$ example?
DC is provable in ZF + every true $Σ^V_2$ statement has a $Δ^V_2$ example (i.e. witness). ...

Forcing equivalence and equal generic extensions
Two forcing notions $\Bbb P$ and $\Bbb Q$ could be defined to be forcing equivalent if the associated complete Boolean algebras are isomorphic (so, the CBA's formed by considering the regular opens of ...

Destroying scales
Suppose $\lambda$ is a cardinal with uncountable cofinality and $C\subseteq\lambda$ is a club of ordertype cf$(\lambda)$. Let $f=\langle f_\xi\mid\xi<\lambda^+\rangle$ be a scale consisting of ...

Iteration of $\aleph_2$-properness
Let us say a forcing $P$ is proper for a class of models $\mathcal C$, if for large enough regular $\theta$ and $M \prec H_\theta$ in $\mathcal C$ with $P \in M$, every $p \in P \cap M$ can be ...

Partial uniformization under AD
Under ZF + AD, and especially $\text{AD}^+$, even if uniformization fails for reals, in some ways it must almost hold.
For a notion of small, we say that uniformization holds on a co-small set of ...

Are Cohen Generics Minimal Covers?
Are Cohen generics (in $2^\omega$) minimal covers?
I'm ultimately interested in this question for some more effective notion of forcing but I realized I wasn't sure how to show this even assuming full ...

Stably embedded clone
Let $M$ be a first-order structure, considered as an element of the ambient set-theoretic universe $V$.
Clearly, for any $L_{\infty,\infty}$-formula $\varphi(\bar x)$ (with $\bar x$ finite, say) in ...
