We apply Ohi's criterion for faithfully flatness of extensions of commutative rings to prove that any \'etale extension $k[Y_1, \ldots, Y_n]\subseteq k[X_1, \ldots, X_n]$ of polynomial rings (each in $n$ indeterminates) over a commutative…

In 2003, Cohn and Umans described a framework for proving upper bounds on the exponent $\omega$ of matrix multiplication by reducing matrix multiplication to group algebra multiplication, and in 2005 Cohn, Kleinberg, Szegedy, and Umans…

We obtain upper bounds for the multiplicity of an isolated solution of a system of equations $f_1=...= f_M =0$ in $M$ variables, where the set of polynomials $(f_1,..., f_M)$ is a tuple of general position in a subvariety of a given…

We show that in 3-3-1 models it is possible to implement an extremely flat scalar potential, i.e., a zero contribution to the cosmological constant, and still having realistic values for the masses of the scalar Higgs fields. Besides, when…

We give a simple construction of $n\times n$ Boolean matrices with $\Omega(n^{4/3})$ zero entries that are free of $2 \times 2$ all-zero submatrices and have covering number $O(\log^4(n))$. This construction provides an explicit…

In this paper we prove the existence of a special order on the set of minimal monomial generators of powers of edge ideals of arbitrary graphs. Using this order we find new upper bounds on the regularity of powers of edge ideals of graphs…

We intend to investigate the metalogical property of 'omitting types' for a wide variety of quantifier logics (that can also be seen as multimodal logics upon identifying existential quantifiers with modalities syntactically and…

We prove a Geroch type result for isolated conical singularity. Namely, we show that there is no Riemannian metric $g$ on $ X \# T^n $ with an isolated conical singularity which has nonnegative scalar curvature on the regular part, and is…

We prove that the equation ${ (x - y)^4 + x^4 + (x + y)^4 = z^n }$ has no integer solutions ${ x, y, z}$ with ${ \gcd(x, y) = 1 }$ for all integers ${ n > 1 }$. We mainly use a modular approach with two Frey ${ \mathbb{Q} }$-curves defined…

A dynamical analog of the prime ideals for simple non-commutative rings is introduced. We prove a factorization theorem for the dynamical ideals. The result is used to classify the surface knots and links in the smooth 4-dimensional…

Answering a question of Junker and Ziegler, we construct a countable first order structure which is not omega-categorical, but does not have any proper non-trivial reducts, in either of two senses (model-theoretic, and group-theoretic). We…

Our theme is that not every interesting question in set theory is independent of $ZFC$. We give an example of a first order theory $T$ with countable $D(T)$ which cannot have a universal model at $\aleph_1$ without CH; we prove in $ZFC$ a…

In this paper, we first give a new simple proof to the elimination theorem of definite fold by homotopy for generic smooth maps of manifolds of dimension strictly greater than $2$ into the $2$--sphere or into the real projective plane. Our…

We study the maximum number of hyperedges in a 3-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices that does not contain a Berge cycle of a given length $\ell$. In particular we prove that the upper bound for $C_{2k+1}$-free hypergraphs is of the order…

We discuss the moduli space of flat connections of Yang-Mills theories formulated on T^3 x R, with periodic boundary conditions. When the gauge group is SO(N>=7), G_2, F_4, E_6, E_7 or E_8, the moduli space consists of more than one…

In this article, we generalize the well-known result that ideals of Noetherian polynomial rings have only finitely many initial ideals to the situation of ascending ideal chains in non-Noetherian polynomial rings. More precisely, we study…

A complete extension theorem for linear codes over a module alphabet and the symmetrized weight composition is proved. It is shown that an extension property with respect to arbitrary weight function does not hold for module alphabets with…

Erd\H{o}s showed that every set of $n$ positive integers contains a subset of size at least $n/(k+1)$ containing no solutions to $x_1 + \cdots + x_k = y$. We prove that the constant $1/(k+1)$ here is best possible by showing that if $(F_m)$…

We prove that there is no countable universal $B_n$-free graph for all $n$ and that there is no countable universal graph in the class of graphs omitting all cycles of length at most $2k$ for $k\ge 2$.

We show that it is relatively consistent with ZF that the Borel hierarchy on the reals has length $\omega_2$. This implies that $\omega_1$ has countable cofinality, so the axiom of choice fails very badly in our model. A similar argument…
