Uniformly star superparacompactness, which is a topological property between compactness and completeness, can be characterized using finite-component covers and a measure of strong local compactness. Using these finite-component covers and…

We investigate products of sets of reals with combinatorial covering properties. A topological space satisfies $\mathsf{S}_1(\Gamma,\Gamma)$ if for each sequence of point-cofinite open covers of the space, one can pick one element from each…

We find boundaries of Borel-Serre compactifications of locally symmetric spaces, for which any filling is incompressible. We prove this result by showing that these boundaries have small singular models and using these models to obstruct…

We prove surjectivity of the comparison map from continuous bounded cohomology to continuous cohomology for Hermitian Lie groups with finite center. For general semisimple Lie groups with finite center, the same argument shows that the…

A power-counting theorem is presented, that is designed to play an analogous role, in the proof of a BPHZ convergence theorem, in Euclidean position space, to the role played by Weinberg's power-counting theorem, in Zimmermann's proof of…

The admissibility of a gauge-fixing is governed by the invertibility of $\Delta=\{\sigma^a,\gamma_b\}$ where $\sigma^a$ are gauge-fixing conditions and $\gamma_b$ are independent first-class constraints. We prove, via the Schur complement,…

Combining stationary reflection (a compactness property) with the failure of SCH (an instance of non-compactness) has been a long-standing theme. We obtain this at $\aleph_{\omega_1}$, answering a question of Ben-Neria, Hayut, and Unger: We…

We define the infinite dimensional simplex to be the closure of the convex hull of the standard basis vectors in R^infinity, and prove that this space has the 'fixed point property': any continuous function from the space into itself has a…

Let $\kappa$ be an uncountable cardinal with $\kappa=\kappa^{{<}\kappa}$. Given a cardinal $\mu$, we equip the set ${}^\kappa\mu$ consisting of all functions from $\kappa$ to $\mu$ with the topology whose basic open sets consist of all…

We show that for a very general and natural class of curvature functions (for example the curvature quotients $(\sigma_n/\sigma_l)^{\frac{1}{n-l}}$) the problem of finding a complete spacelike strictly convex hypersurface in de Sitter space…

It is well known that the Riemann zeta function, as well as several other $L$-functions, is universal in the strip $1/2<\sigma<1$; this is certainly not true for $\sigma>1$. Answering a question of Bombieri and Ghosh, we give a simple…

In this paper, we show that D-compactness in Generalized \v{S}erstnev spaces implies D-boundedness and as in the classical case, a D-bounded and closed subset of a characteristic Generalized \v{S}erstnev is not D-compact in general.…

This paper studies structural consequences of supercompactness of $\omega_1$ under $\sf{ZF}$. We show that the Axiom of Dependent Choice $(\sf{DC})$ follows from "$\omega_1$ is supercompact". "$\omega_1$ is supercompact" also implies that…

We present forms of the classical Riesz-Kolmogorov theorem for compactness that are applicable in a wide variety of settings. In particular, our theorems apply to classify the precompact subsets of the Lebesgue space $L^2$, Paley-Wiener…

We consider a bounded representation $T$ of a commutative semigroup $S$ on a Banach space and analyse the relation between three concepts: (i) properties of the unitary spectrum of $T$, which is defined in terms of semigroup characters on…

This paper contains a partial result on the Pierce--Birkhoff conjecture on piece-wise polynomial functions defined by a finite collection {f 1,. .., f r} of polynomials. In the nineteen eighties, generalizing the problem from the polynomial…

The primary purpose of this article is to show that a certain natural set of axioms yields a completeness result for continuous first-order logic. In particular, we show that in continuous first-order logic a set of formulae is (completely)…

For almost all Riemannian metrics (in the $C^\infty$ Baire sense) on a closed manifold $M^{n+1}$, $3\leq (n+1)\leq 7$, we prove that the union of all closed, smooth, embedded minimal hypersurfaces is dense. This implies there are infinitely…

A uniformly continuously integrable sequence of real-valued measurable functions, defined on some probability space, is relatively compact in the $\sigma(L^1,L^\infty)$ topology. In this paper, we link such a result to weak convergence…

Let $f \colon X \to B$ be a nonisotrivial complex elliptic surface and let $\mathcal{D} \subset X$ be an integral divisor dominating $B$. We study finiteness related properties of generalized $(S, \mathcal{D})$-integral sections $\sigma…
