If κ < λ are such that κ is a strong cardinal whose strongness is indestructible under κ-strategically closed forcing and λ is weakly compact, then we show that A = {δ < κ | δ is a non-weakly compact Mahlo cardinal which reflects stationary sets} must be unbounded in κ. This phenomenon, however, need not occur in a universe with relatively few large cardinals. In particular, we show how to cons...

We present the main features of the mathematical theory generated by the κ-deformed exponential function expκ(x) = ( √ 1 + κ2x2 + κx), with 0 ≤ κ < 1, developed in the last twelve years, which turns out to be a continuous one parameter deformation of the ordinary mathematics generated by the Euler exponential function. The κ-mathematics has its roots in special relativity and furnishes the theo...

We show how to connect together the loops of a simple Conformal Loop Ensemble (CLE) in order to construct samples of chordal SLEκ processes and their SLEκ(ρ) variants, and we discuss some consequences of this construction.

The symbol (XI)κ (with κ ≥ ω) denotes the space XI := Πi∈I Xi with the κ-box topology; this has as base all sets of the form U = Πi∈I Ui with Ui open in Xi and with |{i ∈ I : Ui 6= Xi}| < κ. The symbols w, d and S denote respectively weight, density character, and Souslin number. Generalizing familiar results for the usual product space (the case κ = ω), the authors show inter alia: Theorem 3.1...

We prove that o(κ) = κ is sufficient to construct a model V [C] in which κ is measurable and C is a closed and unbounded subset of κ containing only inaccessible cardinals of V . Gitik proved that o(κ) = κ is necessary. We also calculate the consistency strength of the existence of such a set C together with the assumption that κ is Mahlo, weakly compact, or Ramsey. In addition we consider the ...

A wide variety of environmental cues, including inflammatory cytokines, ligands for pattern recognition receptors and endogenous danger signals, activate the inducible transcription factor nuclear factorκ B (NFκ B), which is a central regulator of inflammatory and immune responses. Excessive activation of NFκ B results in the development of severe diseases, such as chronic inflammatory disorder...

Let φ1 stand for the statement V = HOD and φ2 stand for the Ground Axiom. Suppose Ti for i = 1, . . . , 4 are the theories “ZFC + φ1 + φ2”, “ZFC + ¬φ1 + φ2”, “ZFC + φ1 + ¬φ2”, and “ZFC + ¬φ1 + ¬φ2” respectively. We show that if κ is indestructibly supercompact and λ > κ is inaccessible, then for i = 1, . . . , 4, Ai =df {δ < κ | δ is an inaccessible cardinal which is not a limit of inaccessible...
