Title: A variation on a theorem of Galvin and Hajnal
Bull. London Math. Soc. 25 (1993)
Abstract: Using methods of Shelah's pcf theory, we prove an upper bound on the length of cofinal scales in reduced products, using the Galvin-Hajnal norm.

Title: On a conjecture of Tarski on products of cardinals
Proceedings AMS 112 (1991)
Abstract: We look at an old conjecture of A. Tarski on cardinal arithmetic and show that if a counterexample exists, then there exists one of length omega_1 + omega.
