Inspired by very ampleness of Zariski Geometries, we introduce and study the notion of a very ample family of plane curves in any strongly minimal set, and the corresponding notion of a very ample strongly minimal set (characterized by the…
We construct minor-closed addable families of graphs that are subcritical and contain all planar graphs. This contradicts (one direction of) a well-known conjecture of Noy.
We show that several dichotomy theorems concerning the second level of the Borel hierarchy are special cases of the $\aleph_0$-dimensional generalization of the open graph dichotomy, which itself follows from the usual proof(s) of the…
Kuratowski's 14-set theorem says that in a topological space, 14 is the maximum possible number of distinct sets which can be generated from a fixed set by taking closures and complements. In this article we consider the analogous questions…
We characterize Borel line graphs in terms of 10 forbidden induced subgraphs, namely the 9 finite graphs from the classical result of Beineke together with a 10th infinite graph associated to the equivalence relation $\mathbb{E}_0$ on the…
We study two decomposition problems in combinatorial geometry. The first part deals with the decomposition of multiple coverings of the plane. We say that a planar set is cover-decomposable if there is a constant m such that any m-fold…
Kolmogorov asked the following question: can every bounded measurable set in the plane be mapped onto a polygon by a 1-Lipschitz map with arbitrarily small measure loss? The answer is negative in general, however, the case of compact sets…
Let $\mathscr C$ be a class of finite and infinite graphs that is closed under induced subgraphs. The well-known {\L}o\'s-Tarski Theorem from classical model theory implies that $\mathscr C$ is definable in first-order logic (FO) by a…
A new and extensive formalism is developed for monads and galaxies in non-standard enlargements. It is shown that monads and galaxies can be manipulated using order-preserving and order-reversing set-to-set maps, and that set properties…
We call a finite undirected graph minimally k-matchable if it has at least k distinct perfect matchings but deleting any edge results in a graph which has not. An odd subdivision of some graph G is any graph obtained by replacing every edge…
The concepts of a conditional set, a conditional inclusion relation and a conditional Cartesian product are introduced. The resulting conditional set theory is sufficiently rich in order to construct a conditional topology, a conditional…
Given a non empty set $S$ of vertices of a graph, the partiality of a vertex with respect to $S$ is the difference between maximum and minimum of the distances of the vertex to the vertices of $S$. The vertices with minimum partiality…
We discuss topological versions of the closed graph theorem, where continuity is inferred from near continuity in tandem with suitable conditions on source or target spaces. We seek internal characterizations of spaces satisfying a closed…
The Graph Minor Theorem of Robertson and Seymour asserts that any graph property, whatsoever, is determined by an associated finite list of graphs. We view this as an impressive generalization of Kuratowski's theorem, which characterizes…
We prove a pointwise ergodic theorem for quasi-probability-measure-preserving (quasi-pmp) locally countable measurable graphs, equivalently, Schreier graphs of quasi-pmp actions of countable groups. For ergodic graphs, the theorem gives an…
We investigate decompositions of a graph into a small number of low diameter subgraphs. Let P(n,\epsilon,d) be the smallest k such that every graph G=(V,E) on n vertices has an edge partition E=E_0 \cup E_1 \cup ... \cup E_k such that |E_0|…
We give a construction of quasiminimal fields equipped with pseudo-analytic maps, generalising Zilber's pseudo-exponential function. In particular we construct pseudo-exponential maps of simple abelian varieties, including…
A total dominating set of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a subset $D \subseteq V$ such that every vertex in $V$ is adjacent to some vertex in $D$. Finding a total dominating set of minimum size is NP-hard on planar graphs and W[2]-complete on general…
We show that there is no simple (e.g. finite or countable) basis for Borel graphs with infinite Borel chromatic number. In fact, it is proved that the closed subgraphs of the shift graph on $[\mathbb{N}]^{<\mathbb{N}}$ with finite (or,…
We introduce probability-graphons which are probability kernels that generalize graphons to the case of weighted graphs. Probability-graphons appear as the limit objects to study sequences of large weighted graphs whose distribution of…
