Title: A/the (possible) solution of the Continuum Problem
Abstract. In this talk, I examine the following trichotomy which holds under the requirement that a sufficiently strong natural reflection principle should hold:
The continuum (\(=2^{\aleph_0}\)) is either 1. \(\aleph_1\) or 2. \(\aleph_2\) or 3. fairly large.
Here, the fair largeness of the continuum can be expressed either in terms of weak mahloness and/or some other ``large'' cardinal notions compatible with the continuum, or even in terms of existence of some saturated ideals.
The reflection principles we consider here can be formulated as the following type of Downward Löwenheim-Skolem Theorems:
1'. For any structure A of countable signature, there is an elementary substructure B of A of cardinality \(<\aleph_2\) in terms of stationary logic.
2'. For any structure A of countable signature, there is an elementary substructure B of A of cardinality \(<2^{\aleph_0}\) in terms of stationary logic but only for formulas without free second order variables.
3'. For any structure A of countable signature, there is an elementary substructure B of A of cardinality \(<2^{\aleph_0}\) in terms of PKL logic (a variant of the stationary logic) in weak interpretation.
The reflection points \(<\aleph_2\) and \(<2^{\aleph_0}\) can be considered to be natural/necessary since the reflection down to \(<\aleph_2\) declares that \(\aleph_1\) strongly represents the situation of uncountability; the reflection down to \(<2^{\aleph_0}\) can be interpreted in the way that the reflection manifests that the continuum is very "rich".
The Downward Löwenheim-Skolem Theorems in terms of stationary logics can be also regarded as very natural principles: They can be characterized in terms of Diagonal Reflection Principles of Sean Cox.
Analyzing these three scenarios, we obtain the notion of Laver-generically large cardinals.
Existence of a Laver-generically supercompact cardinal
1''. for \(\sigma\)-closed pos implies 1'.;
2''. for proper pos implies 2'.; while the existence of a Laver-generically supercompact cardinal
3''. for ccc pos implies 3'.
The symmetry of the arguments involved suggests the possibility that the trichotomy might be a set-theoretic multiversal necessity.
If time allows, I shall also discuss about the reflection of non-metrizability of topological spaces, Rado's Conjecture and Galvin's Conjecture in connection with the reflection properties in 1., 2. and 3.
Most of the results to be presented here are obtained in a joint work with Hiroshi Sakai and André Ottenbreit Maschio Rodrigues.

Sakae Fuchino: Downward Lowenheim Skolem Theorems for stationary logics and the Continuum Problem

Title: Downward Lowenheim Skolem Theorems for stationary logics and the Continuum Problem
Abstract. Downward Lowenheim Skolem Theorems of extended logics can be considered as reflection principles. In this talk we consider Downward Lowenheim Skolem Theorems of variations of stationary logic. Some of the strongest forms of reflection principles formulated in this way imply CH while some other imply that the continuum is very large. The results presented in this talk are further development of the results presented in the talk I gave last year in Wroclaw and will be a part of a joint paper with Hiroshi Sakai and Andre Ottenbreit Maschio Rodrigues.
