In [5], Hjorth proved that for every countable ordinal α, there exists a complete Lω1,ω-sentence φα that has models of all cardinalities less than or equal to אα, but no models of cardinality אα+1. Unfortunately, his solution does not yield a single Lω1,ω-sentence φα, but a set of Lω1,ω-sentences, one of which is guaranteed to work. It was conjectured in [9] that it is independent of the axioms of ZFC which of these sentences has the desired property. In the present paper, we prove that this…

The bounded proper forcing axiom BPFA is equivalent to the statement that two nonisomorphic models of size @1 cannot be made isomorphic by a proper forcing notion, and the consistency strength of the bounded properforcing axiom is exactly the existence of a §1-re∞ecting cardinal.
Notes on Cardinals That Are Characterizable by a Complete (Scott) Sentence
The set of cardinals that are characterized by a Scott sentence is closed under successors, countable unions and countable products, and it is proved that if $\aleph_\alpha$ is characterized byA Scott sentence, at least one of $\ aleph_alpha$ and $is homogeneously characterizable. Directed sets and cofinal types We show that 1, S. @1, X x xl and [l]<@ are the only cofinal types of directed sets of size Sl, but that there exist many cofinal types of directed sets of size continuum.
