Cellular Objects and Shelah’s Singular Compactness Theorem
The best-known version of Shelah’s celebrated singular cardinal compactness theorem states that if the cardinality of an abelian group is singular, and all its subgroups of lesser cardinality are free, then the group itself is free. The proof can be adapted to cover a number of analogous situations in the setting of non-abelian groups, modules, graph colorings, set transversals etc. We give a s...
متن کاملCompactness and Incompactness Phenomena in Set Theory
We prove two results with a common theme: the tension between compactness and incompactness phenomena in combinatorial set theory. Theorem 1 uses PCF theory to prove a sort of “compactness” for a version of Dzamonja and Shelah’s strong non-reflection principle. Theorem 2 investigates Jensen’s subcompact cardinals and their relationship with stationary set reflection and the failure of the squar...
متن کاملA Coloring Theorem for Successors of Singular Cardinals
We formulate and prove (in ZFC) a strong coloring theorem which holds at successors of singular cardinals, and use it to answer several questions concerning Shelah’s principle Pr1(μ, μ+, μ+, cf(μ)) for singular μ.
متن کاملHanf Numbers and Presentation Theorems in AECs
This paper addresses a number of fundamental problems in logic and the philosophy of mathematics by considering some more technical problems in model theory and set theory. The interplay between syntax and semantics is usually considered the hallmark of model theory. At first sight, Shelah’s notion of abstract elementary class shatters that icon. As in the beginnings of the modern theory of str...
