Inner-Model Reflection Principles
[latexpage] This paper has its origins in a question by Neil Barton on Math.SE, “What is the consistency strength of width-reflection?” Start with one of the foundational relationships of set theory, that of height-reflection — any property true in the universe $V$ is true in some initial segment $V_\kappa$. Then “rotate your head ninety degrees”…

Dissertation: The Ground Axiom
Unforcing and the Ground Axiom My interest in “unforcing,” somehow working backwards from a forcing extension to a ground model, started early in my set theory studies. When I went through the rite of passage of learning Paul Cohen’s forcing – an exercise in induction, with a lovely (and at the time, frustratingly opaque) back-and-forth…
