Consistency of the nonrigidity of $P(\omega_1)/NS$
It is consistent relative to large cardinals that $P(\omega_1)/NS \cong \mathcal B(\mathrm{Col}(\omega,\omega_1))$ and many other homogeneous algebras.
It almost looks like the answer is yes in $L$, …

A conjecture about certain relations
The answer is no. Let $\mathscr{U}$ be an ultrafilter on $\mathbb{N}$. Let $A,B \in \mathscr{U}$ be such that $A \cap B$ is a proper subset of both $A$ and $B$. Let $\mathscr{F}$ be the collection …

Cardinality of an ultraproduct
It depends on the function $f : i \mapsto |A_i|$. The ultraproduct $\prod A_i/ U$ has the same cardinality as $\prod f(i)/U$. $f$ represents an ordinal $\alpha <j(\kappa)$ in the ultrapower $M$ of t …

$\kappa$-dense ideals on successor $\kappa$
This is answered in chapter 2 of my thesis. As far as I know, this is essentially the only method for obtaining such ideals. I am very interested in finding alternative constructions. Please contac …

Formalizing Elementary Embeddings and Substructures in ZFC
(1) One approach to large cardinal embeddings is to view literal talk about them as "from the outside" about models of set theory, while knowing that particular properties of particular embeddings can …

saturated ideals
Is it possible to have a saturated ideal on a successor cardinal which does not extend the nonstationary ideal? (i.e. some nonstationary set is positive for this ideal)

$\kappa$-dense ideals on successor $\kappa$
Woodin gave a consistency proof of a normal $\omega_1$-dense ideal on $\omega_1$ from an almost-huge cardinal. He never published this argument, but it is written up by Foreman in the Handbook of Set …

Coherent trees: Is this result of Todorcevic correct?
A family of functions $F$ is coherent when for every $f,g \in F$, $\{ x \in dom(f) \cap dom(g) : f(x) \not= g(x) \}$ is finite. A tree on $\omega_1$ is coherent if it is a coherent collection of func …

cofinality of $(P(\kappa)/NS,\subseteq)$
I'm going to assume that when you write $\subseteq$, you really mean $\subseteq_{NS}$. We say $A \subseteq_{NS} B$ when $A$ is contained in $B$ except for a nonstationary set, i.e. $A \setminus B \in …

What is the best way to construct an Aronszajn Tree?
Perhaps the easiest argument is given here, in Lemmas 1.1 and 1.2. The argument for $\kappa = \omega$ is due to Koszmider and I give a generalization.
Like the classical construction, we get a syste …

elementary embeddings
Fact 1: If $M$ and $N$ are transitive models of ZF with the same ordinals, and $M \prec N$, then $M = N$.
Fact 2: If $M$ and $N$ are transitive models of ZFC with the same ordinals, and $j: M \to N$ …

larger coherent family of functions
One way to construct an Aronszajn tree is to build a sequence of functions $\langle e_\alpha : \alpha < \omega_1 \rangle$ such that $e_\alpha$ is an injection from $\alpha$ to $\omega$, and for any $( …

preservation of $\aleph_2$-c.c. in CS iterations
It seems that considerable care is taken in the literature to ensure that a countable support (CS) iteration of proper forcings preserves $\aleph_2$. Can you give an example, assuming CH, of a CS ite …

continuity points of elementary embeddings from $0^\sharp$
Suppose $0^\sharp$ exists, and let $\langle \alpha_i : i \in \text{Ord}\rangle$ be the Silver indiscernibles for $L$. Let $j : L \to L$ be the embedding generated by mapping $\alpha_n$ to $\alpha_{n+ …

Start with a model of GCH. Let $\kappa$ be singular. Add $\kappa^{++}$ Cohen subsets of $\mathrm{cf}(\kappa)^+$-- the forcing is $\mathrm{cf}(\kappa)^+$-closed and $\mathrm{cf}(\kappa)^{++}$-c.c. T …
