Prediction Principles
by
R. W. Knight
Mathematical Institute, Oxford, UK
Prediction principles are a basic combinatorial tool in set theory,
allowing one, roughly speaking, to forestall ``many'' possible
difficulties by taking only a ``few'' precautions. They
have found many applications to topology. I will give an elementary
introduction to the principle \diamondsuit and some of its relatives.
