A hierarchy of Ramsey-like cardinals

We introduce a hierarchy of large cardinals between weakly compact and measurable cardinals, that is closely related to the Ramsey-like cardinals introduced by Victoria Gitman, and is based on certain infinite filter games, however also has a range of equivalent characterizations in terms of elementary embeddings. The aim of this paper is to locate the Ramsey-like cardinals studied by Gitman, and other well-known large cardinal notions, in this hierarchy

Combinatorial Properties and Dependent choice in symmetric extensions based on L\'{e}vy Collapse

We work with symmetric extensions based on L\'{e}vy Collapse and extend a few results of Arthur Apter. We prove a conjecture of Ioanna Dimitriou from her P.h.d. thesis. We also observe that if $V$ is a model of ZFC, then $DC_{<\kappa}$ can be preserved in the symmetric extension of $V$ in terms of symmetric system $\langle \mathbb{P},\mathcal{G},\mathcal{F}\rangle$, if $\mathbb{P}$ is $\kappa$-distributive and $\mathcal{F}$ is $\kappa$-complete. Further we observe that if $V$ is a model of ZF + $DC_{\kappa}$, then $DC_{<\kappa}$ can be preserved in the symmetric extension of $V$ in terms of symmetric system $\langle \mathbb{P},\mathcal{G},\mathcal{F}\rangle$, if $\mathbb{P}$ is $\kappa$-strategically closed and $\mathcal{F}$ is $\kappa$-complete.Comment: Revised versio
