We present a sufficient condition that a pseudointegrable system has weak mixing property. The result is derived from Veech's weak mixing theorem for interval exhange [Veech, W.A. Amer.J.Math. {\bf 106}, 1331 (1984)]. We also present an…
We construct a new family of groups that is non-contracting and weakly regular branch over the derived subgroup. This gives the first example of an infinite family of groups acting on a $d$-adic tree, with $d \geq 2$, with these properties.
We show there is a closed (in fact effectively closed, i.e., $\Pi^0_1$) eventually different family (working in ZF or less).
Given a finite set $X$ of points in $R^n$ and a family $F$ of sets generated by the pairs of points of $X$, we determine volumetric and structural conditions for the sets that allow us to guarantee the existence of a positive-fraction…
We study the notion of $\mathcal J$-MAD families where $\mathcal J$ is a Borel ideal on $\omega$. We show that if $\mathcal J$ is an arbitrary $F_\sigma$ ideal, or is any finite or countably iterated Fubini product of $F_\sigma$ ideals,…
We prove the consistency of ZF+DC+"there are no mad families"+"there exists a non-meager filter on $\omega$" relative to ZFC, answering a question of Neeman and Norwood. We also introduce a weaker version of madness, and we strengthen the…
A group is small if it has countably many complete $n$-types over the empty set for each natural number n. More generally, a group $G$ is weakly small if it has countably many complete 1-types over every finite subset of G. We show here…
We introduce a new class of finite groups, called weak almost monomial, which generalize two different notions of "almost monomial" groups, and we prove it is closed under taking factor groups and direct products. Let $K/\mathbb Q$ be a…
A numbering of a countable family $S$ is a surjective map from the set of natural numbers $\omega$ onto $S$. The paper studies Rogers semilattices, i.e. upper semilattices induced by the reducibility between numberings, for families…
The theory of almost characters which is closely related to character sheaves is proposed by Lusztig to study the representation theory of finite reductive groups. In this article we show that the decomposition of the Weil character for…
Chv\'{a}tal conjectured that a star is amongst the largest intersecting subfamiles of a finite subset-closed family of sets. Kleitman later strengthened Chv\'{a}tal's conjecture, suggesting that maximal intersecting subfamilies of $2^{[n]}$…
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…
In this short article, we establish a rigidity theorem for pairs of hyperquadrics in a weaker sense, i.e., we impose a condition that minimal rational curves are preserved, which is stronger than inheriting a sub-VMRT structure, a notion…
Recently it has been proved that, assuming that there is an almost disjoint family of cardinality (2^{\mathfrak c}) in (\mathfrak c) (which is assured, for instance, by either Martin's Axiom, or CH, or even $2^{<\mathfrak c=\mathfrak c$})…
We consider uncountable almost disjoint families of subsets of $\mathbb N$, the Johnson-Lindenstrauss Banach spaces $(\mathcal X_{\mathcal A}, \|\ \|_\infty)$ induced by them, and their natural equivalent renormings $(\mathcal X_{\mathcal…
We introduce weak oddness $\omega_{\textrm w}$, a new measure of uncolourability of cubic graphs, defined as the least number of odd components in an even factor. For every bridgeless cubic graph $G$, $\rho(G)\le\omega_{\textrm…
We argue that in theories of quantum gravity with discrete gauge symmetries, e.g. $\textbf{Z}_k$, the gauge couplings of U$(1)$ gauge symmetries become weak in the limit of large $k$, as $g\to k^{-\alpha}$ with $\alpha$ a positive order 1…
We define weak units in a semi-monoidal 2-category $\CC$ as cancellable pseudo-idempotents: they are pairs $(I,\alpha)$ where $I$ is an object such that tensoring with $I$ from either side constitutes a biequivalence of $\CC$, and $\alpha:…
Let $\mathbb N_0$ be the set of non-negative integers, and let $P(n,l)$ denote the set of all weak compositions of $n$ with $l$ parts, i.e., $P(n,l)=\{ (x_1,x_2,\dots, x_l)\in\mathbb N_0^l\ :\ x_1+x_2+\cdots+x_l=n\}$. For any element…
We prove a version of the Weak Gravity Conjecture for 6d F-theory or heterotic string compactifications with 8 supercharges. This sharpens our previous analysis by including massless scalar fields. The latter are known to modify the Weak…
