We deal with incompactness. Assume the existence of non-reflecting stationary set of cofinality κ. We prove that one can define a graph G whose chromatic number is >κ, while the chromatic number of every subgraph G′⫅G, |G′|<|G| is ≦κ. The main case is κ=ℵ0.

Chromatic numbers of graphs — large gaps
It is proved that if 0# does not exist, then for every singular strong limit cardinal λ, there exists an (ℵ0,λ+)-chromatic graph of size λ+.

It is proved that reflection of the coloring number of graphs is consistent with non-reflection of the chromatic number and that, in contrast to thechromatic number, the coloringNumber does not admit arbitrarily large incompactness gaps.

Quite free complicated abelian groups, pcf and black boxes
We like to build Abelian groups (or R-modules) which on the one hand are quite free, say $\aleph_{\omega + 1}$-free, and on the other hand, are complicated in suitable sense. We choose as our test

The upper bound for the consistency strength of stationary reflection at successors of singular cardinals is improved, which is in line with previous work on this topic.

This work quite systematically looks at existence of black boxes, and makes connection to non-saturation of natural ideals and diamonds on them.
