  1. Two Upper Bounds on Consistency Strength of $negsquare{aleph_{omega}}$ and Stationary Set Reflection at Two Successive $aleph{n}$.Martin Zeman - 2017 - Notre Dame Journal of Formal Logic 58 (3):409-432.
    We give modest upper bounds for consistency strengths for two well-studied combinatorial principles. These bounds range at the level of subcompact cardinals, which is significantly below a κ+-supercompact cardinal. All previously known upper bounds on these principles ranged at the level of some degree of supercompactness. We show that by using any of the standard modified Prikry forcings it is possible to turn a measurable subcompact cardinal into ℵω and make the principle □ℵω,<ω fail in the generic extension. We also (...)

  • Dodd parameters and λ-indexing of extenders.Martin Zeman - 2004 - Journal of Mathematical Logic 4 (01):73-108.
    We study generalizations of Dodd parameters and establish their fine structural properties in Jensen extender models with λ-indexing. These properties are one of the key tools in various combinatorial constructions, such as constructions of square sequences and morasses.

  • Square in core models.Ernest Schimmerling & Martin Zeman - 2001 - Bulletin of Symbolic Logic 7 (3):305-314.
    We prove that in all Mitchell-Steel core models, □ κ holds for all κ. (See Theorem 2.). From this we obtain new consistency strength lower bounds for the failure of □ κ if κ is either singular and countably closed, weakly compact, or measurable. (Corallaries 5, 8, and 9.) Jensen introduced a large cardinal property that we call subcompactness; it lies between superstrength and supercompactness in the large cardinal hierarchy. We prove that in all Jensen core models, □ κ holds (...)

  • Square In Core Models, By, Pages 305 -- 314.Ernest Schimmerling & Martin Zeman - 2001 - Bulletin of Symbolic Logic 7 (3):305-314.
    We prove that in all Mitchell-Steel core models, □k holds for all k. From this we obtain new consistency strength lower bounds for the failure of □k if k is either singular and countably closed, weakly compact, or measurable. Jensen introduced a large cardinal property that we call subcompactness; it lies between superstrength and supercompactness in the large cardinal hierarchy. We prove that in all Jensen core models, □k holds iff k is not subcompact.

  • Characterization of □κin core models.Ernest Schimmerling & Martin Zeman - 2004 - Journal of Mathematical Logic 4 (01):1-72.
    We present a general construction of a □κ-sequence in Jensen's fine structural extender models. This construction yields a local definition of a canonical □κ-sequence as well as a characterization of those cardinals κ, for which the principle □κ fails. Such cardinals are called subcompact and can be described in terms of elementary embeddings. Our construction is carried out abstractly, making use only of a few fine structural properties of levels of the model, such as solidity and condensation.

  • Some Problems in Singular Cardinals Combinatorics.Matthew Foreman - 2005 - Notre Dame Journal of Formal Logic 46 (3):309-322.
    This paper attempts to present and organize several problems in the theory of Singular Cardinals. The most famous problems in the area (bounds for the ℶ-function at singular cardinals) are well known to all mathematicians with even a rudimentary interest in set theory. However, it is less well known that the combinatorics of singular cardinals is a thriving area with results and problems that do not depend on a solution of the Singular Cardinals Hypothesis. We present here an annotated collection (...)

  • Smooth categories and global □.Ronald B. Jensen & Martin Zeman - 2000 - Annals of Pure and Applied Logic 102 (1-2):101-138.
    We shall construct a smooth category of mice and embeddings in the core model for measures of order 0. The existence of such a category implies that the global principle □ holds in K. We then prove a much stronger, the so-called condensation-coherent version of global □. The key tool of the whole construction is a new criterion on preserving soundness under condensation.
