$\text{NS}_{ω_1}$ saturated, $Δ_1 ( \{ ω_1 \} )$-definable and a $Δ^1_4$-definable well-order of the reals

Abstract

Assuming $M_1$, the canonical inner model with one Woodin cardinal exists, we construct a model in which the nonstationary ideal on $ω_1$ is $\aleph_2$-saturated, $Δ_1$-definable with $ω_1$ as the only parameter and there is a $Σ^1_{4}$-definable well-order of the reals. This implies that contrary to the assumption that $NS_{ω_1}$ is $\aleph_1$-dense, the assumption of $NS_{ω_1}$ being saturated and $Δ_1$-definable does not imply any nice structural properties for the projective subsets of the reals.

Forcing with Symmetric Systems of Models of Two Types

The purpose of this paper is to present a general method for forcing on $ω_2$ and $ω_3$ with finite conditions, while preserving all cardinals and some fragments of $\mathrm{GCH}$. This method is based on the technique of forcing with finite symmetric systems of elementary submodels, and improves earlier versions of this forcing by including models of two types. We will present several applications of the pure side condition forcing and variants thereof, by adding a Kurepa tree on $ω_2$, a club subset of $ω_2$ that avoids infinite sets from the ground model, a function bounding every canonical function below $ω_3$ on a club, and a simplified $(ω_2,1)$-morass.

Compactness beyond choice and HOD

We characterise exacting, rank-Berkeley, Berkeley, and club Berkeley cardinals by compactness properties of logics and, equivalently, by compactness properties of certain topological spaces. This raises the strength known to be obtainable by statements about compactness into the realm of choiceless large cardinal axioms, the strongest known statements in terms of consistency strength. Moreover, it shows that compactness assumptions can directly violate the axiom of choice and the axiom $V=\text{HOD}$.

Two applications of the point-free coderivative

We present two new applications of Simmons' point-free Cantor-Bendixson coderivative operator in intuitionistic logic. First, we use it to give a simplified proof of the recent result of Xu and Ye that the free Heyting algebra on two generators does not occur as the Heyting algebra of subterminal objects in any elementary topos. Then we use it to prove that complete Heyting algebra semantics is not strongly complete for intuitionistic second-order propositional logic: semantic consequence from an arbitrary set of assumptions does not coincide with ordinary syntactic consequence.
