Related papers: Large weight does not yield an irreducible base

Recently, the first two authors proved the Alon-Jaeger-Tarsi conjecture on non-vanishing linear maps, for large primes. We extend their ideas to address several other related conjectures. We prove the weak Additive Basis conjecture proposed…

The uncountability of $\mathbb{R}$ is one of its most basic properties, known far outside of mathematics. Cantor's 1874 proof of the uncountability of $\mathbb{R}$ even appears in the very first paper on set theory, i.e. a historical…

We show that under some conditions on a family $\mathcal{A}\subset\bbi$ there exists a subfamily $\mathcal{A}_0\subset\mathcal{A}$ such that $\bigcup \mathcal{A}_0$ is nonmeasurable with respect to a fixed ideal $\bbi$ with Borel base of a…

We prove that the quotient of an irreducible representation of a special unitary group of rank greater than 1 cannot be a smooth manifold.

We extend the scope of B. Shapirovskii's results [B.E Shapirovskii, "Cardinal invariants in Compact Hausdorff Spaces," Amer. Math. Soc. Transl. (2) Vol. 134, 1987, pp. 93-118] on the order of $\pi$-bases in compact spaces and answer some…

Answering a question raised by V. V. Tkachuk, we present several examples of $\sigma$-compact spaces, some only consistent and some in ZFC, that are not countably tight but in which the closure of any discrete subset is countably tight. In…

In this paper, some features of countably $\alpha$-compact topological spaces are presented and proven. The connection between countably $\alpha$% -compact, Tychonoff, and $\alpha$-Hausdorff spaces is explained. The space is countably…

A metric space is indivisible if for any partition of it into finitely many pieces one piece contains an isometric copy of the whole space. Continuing our investigation of indivisible metric spaces, we show that a countable ultrametric…

We investigate connections between resolvability and different forms of tightness. This study is adjacent to [1,2]. We construct a non-regular refinement $\tau^*$ of the natural topology of the real line $\mathbb{R}$ with properties such…

In a recent paper, V. Dobrev and A. Sudbery classified the highest-weight and lowest-weight finite dimensional irreducible representations of the quantum Lie algebra sl(2)_q introduced by V. Lyubashenko and A. Sudbery. The aim of this note…

We study the difficulty of computing topological entropy of subshifts subjected to mixing restrictions. This problem is well-studied for multidimensional subshifts of finite type : there exists a threshold in the irreducibility rate where…

We shall prove that if X, Y are compact metrizable spaces of positive dimension and h: X x Y --> X is a continuous map with zero-dimensional fibers then X contains a non-trivial continuum without one-dimensional subsets; in particular X is…

We introduce and study the restricted volume of a divisor along a subvariety. Our main result is a description of the irreducible components of the augmented base locus by the vanishing of the restricted volume.

In this note, we study the geometry of the unit ball of the Banach space generated by the adequate family of all subsets of branches of the infinite binary tree, and answer several open questions related to slicely countably determined…

Let $X$ be a topological vector space of complex-valued sequences and $Y$ be a subset of $X$. We provide conditions for $X \setminus Y \cup \{0\}$ to contain uncountably infinitely many linearly independent dense vector subspaces of $X$. We…

We construct a nonseparable Banach space $\mathcal X$ (actually, of density continuum) such that any uncountable subset $\mathcal Y$ of the unit sphere of $\mathcal X$ contains uncountably many points distant by less than $1$ (in fact, by…

Irreducible nonzero level modules with finite-dimensional weight spaces are studied for non-twisted affine Lie superalgebras. A complete classification is obtained for superalgebras A(m,n)^ and C(n)^. In other cases the classification…

We prove that it is consistent with large values of the continuum that there are no S-spaces. We also show that we can also have that compact separable spaces of countable tightness have cardinality at most the continuum.

One shows for Banach bundles in a certain class that having a second countable locally compact Hausdorff base space and separable fibers implies the separability of the Banach space of the all sections that vanish at infinity. In the…

We study M-separability as well as some other combinatorial versions of separability. In particular, we show that the set-theoretic hypothesis b=d implies that the class of selectively separable spaces is not closed under finite products,…
