The so-called permutation separability criteria are simple operational conditions that are necessary for separability of mixed states of multipartite systems: (1) permute the indices of the density matrix and (2) check if the trace norm of…

Recently in Reference [ quant-ph/0202121] a computational criterion of separability induced by greatest cross norm is proposed by Rudolph. There, Rudolph conjectured that the new criterion is not weaker than positive partial transpose…

The Bodirsky-Pinsker conjecture asserts a P vs. NP-complete dichotomy for the computational complexity of Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs) of first-order reducts of finitely bounded homogeneous structures. Prominently, two structures…

Taking residual finiteness as a starting point, we consider three related finiteness properties: weak subsemigroup separability, strong subsemigroup separability and complete separability. We investigate whether each of these properties is…

This paper presents a new method for obtaining small algebras to check the admissibility-equivalently, validity in free algebras-of quasi-identities in a finitely generated quasivariety. Unlike a previous algebraic approach of Metcalfe and…

An $m \times n$ matrix $\mathsf{A}$ with column supports $\{S_i\}$ is $k$-separable if the disjunctions $\bigcup_{i \in \mathcal{K}} S_i$ are all distinct over all sets $\mathcal{K}$ of cardinality $k$. While a simple counting bound shows…

We force over the constructible universe to obtain a model of the $\Pi^1_3$-reduction property, thus lowering the best known large cardinal strength from the existence of $M_1^{\#}$ to just ZFC. In this model the $\Pi^1_3$-uniformization…

We consider whether given a simple, finite description of a group in the form of an algorithm, it is possible to algorithmically determine if the corresponding group has some specified property or not. When there is such an algorithm, we…

In this paper we introduce the notion of a quasi-powerful $p$-group for odd primes $p$. These are the finite $p$-groups $G$ such that $G/Z(G)$ is powerful in the sense of Lubotzky and Mann. We show that this large family of groups shares…

We prove compactness results and characterizations for the bi-commutator $[T_1,[b, T_2]]$ of a symbol $b$ and two non-degenerate Calder\'on-Zygmund singular integral operators $T_1, T_2$. Our strategy for proving sufficient conditions for…

The probability that a generic real, complex or quaternionic two-qubit state is separable can be considered to be the sum of three contributions. One is from those states that are absolutely separable, that is those (which can not be…

Constructing $r$-th nonresidue over a finite field is a fundamental computational problem. A related problem is to construct an irreducible polynomial of degree $r^e$ (where $r$ is a prime) over a given finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of…

We study the recursion-theoretic complexity of Positive Almost-Sure Termination ($\mathsf{PAST}$) in an imperative programming language with rational variables, bounded nondeterministic choice, and discrete probabilistic choice. A program…

Pseudoentropy characterizations provide a quantitatively precise demonstration of the close relationship between computational hardness and computational randomness. We prove a unified pseudoentropy characterization that generalizes and…

We characterize the computational content and the proof-theoretic strength of a Ramsey-type theorem for bi-colorings of so-called {\em exactly large} sets. An {\it exactly large} set is a set $X\subset\Nat$ such that $\card(X)=\min(X)+1$.…

A very useful fact in additive combinatorics is that analytic expressions that can be used to count the number of structures of various kinds in subsets of Abelian groups are robust under quasirandom perturbations, and moreover that…

This paper demonstrates that P \not= NP. The way was to generalize the traditional definitions of the classes P and NP, to construct an artificial problem (a generalization to SAT: The XG-SAT, much more difficult than the former) and then…
