Professor James CummingsThu May 12, 20114:00 pmWe use the extent to which the combinatorial principle "weak square" holds to quantify the influence of Martin's Maximum on the combinatorics of singular cardinals. (joint work with Menachem Magidor)

Monroe EskewMon May 9, 20114:00 pmGeneric embeddings are a generalization of large cardinal embeddings. The difference is that they are definied in a forcing extension, using an object in the ground model called a precipitous ideal. An interesting feature is that the critical point can be quite small. In this talk I will develop some basic properties, emphasizing the...

Professor Ralf-Dieter SchindlerMon May 2, 20114:00 pmWhich consistent statements can be forced to be true? It is shown that "resectionable" \Sigma_1 statements about parameters in H_{\omega_2} which are "honestly consistent" can be forced to be true in a stationary set preserving extension, and we also show that a strong form of BMM, according to which all "honestly consistent" \Sigma_1 statements...
