Generalized descriptive set theory and classification theory by Sy D Friedman( Book )

11 editions published between 2013 and 2014 in English and held by 116 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Descriptive set theory is mainly concerned with studying subsets of the space of all countable binary sequences. In this paper we study the generalization where countable is replaced by uncountable. We explore properties of generalized Baire and Cantor spaces, equivalence relations and their Borel reducibility. The study shows that the descriptive set theory looks very different in this generalized setting compared to the classical, countable case. We also draw the connection between the stability theoretic complexity of first-order theories and the descriptive set theoretic complexity of their isomorphism relations. Our results suggest that Borel reducibility on uncountable structures is a model theoretically natural way to compare the complexity of isomorphism relations

Fusion and large cardinal preservation by Sy D Friedman( )

1 edition published in 2013 in English and held by 1 WorldCat member library worldwide

In this paper we introduce some fusion properties of forcing notions which guarantee that an iteration with supports of size $\le \kappa$ not only does not collapse $\kappa^+$ but also preserves the strength of $\kappa$ (after a suitable preparatory forcing). This provides a general theory covering the known cases of tree iterations which preserve large cardinals
Measurable cardinals and the cofinality of the symmetric group by Sy D Friedman( )

1 edition published in 2010 in English and held by 1 WorldCat member library worldwide

Assuming the existence of a $P_2\kappa$-hypermeasurable cardinal, we construct a model of set theory with a measurable cardinal $\kappa$ such that $2^\kappa=\kappa^{++}$ and the group $\text{Sym}(\kappa)$ of all permutations of $\kappa$ cannot be written as the union of a chain of proper subgroups of length $<\kappa^{++}$. The proof involves iteration of a suitably defined uncountable version of the Miller forcing poset as well as the "tuning fork" argument introduced by the first author and K.Thompson [J. Symb. Log. 73, No. 3, 906-918 (2008)]
Projective mad families by Sy D Friedman( )

1 edition published in 2010 in English and held by 0 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Using almost disjoint coding we prove the consistency of the existence of a $\Pi_2^1$-definable $\omega$-mad family of infinite subsets of $\omega$ (resp. functions from $\omega$ to $\omega$) together with $\mathfrak{b} = 2^\omega = \omega_2$
