A family $\mathcal{A}$ of sets is said to be \emph{$t$-intersecting} if any two sets in $\mathcal{A}$ have at least $t$ common elements. A central problem in extremal set theory is to determine the size or structure of a largest…

We show that we can construct simultaneously all the stable trees as a nested family. More precisely, if $1 < a < a' \leq 2$ we prove that hidden inside any a-stable we can find a version of an a'-stable tree rescaled by an independent…

We answer Question~3.2 from Shelah \cite{Sh:666}: Given a maximal almost disjoint (mad) family $\mathcal A$ of size $\aleph_1$, we construct a forcing ${\mathbb Q}(\mathcal A)$ that has Axiom A, is ${}^\omega \omega$-bounding, preserves…

We derive a new sufficient condition for the existence of {\omega}-categorical universal structures in classes of relational structures with constraints, augmenting results by Cherlin, Shelah, Chi, and Hubi\v{c}ka and Ne\v{s}et\v{r}il.…

Paul Erd\H{o}s and L\'aszl\'o Lov\'asz established that any \emph{maximal intersecting family of $k-$sets} has at most $k^{k}$ blocks. They introduced the problem of finding the maximum possible number of blocks in such a family. They also…

Let $\RR_S$ denote the expansion of the real ordered field by a family of real-valued functions $S$, where each function in $S$ is defined on a compact box and is a member of some quasianalytic class which is closed under the operations of…

Let $A = \{0 = a_0 < a_1 < \cdots < a_{\ell + 1} = b\}$ be a finite set of non-negative integers. We prove that the sumset $NA$ has a certain easily-described structure, provided that $N \geqslant b-\ell$, as recently conjectured by Shakan…

We prove that the spectrum of Van Douwen families is closed under singular limits. For any maximal eventually different family Raghavan defined in an associated ideal which measures how far the family is from being Van Douwen. Under CH we…

We construct parametric families of (monic) reducible polynomials having two roots very close to each other.

Separability is one of the most basic and important topological properties. In this paper, the separability in (strongly) topological gyrogroups is studied. It is proved that every first-countable left {\omega}-narrow strongly topological…

Techniques are developed for creating new and general language families of only semilinear languages, and for showing families only contain semilinear languages. It is shown that for language families L that are semilinear full trios, the…

Let $\mathcal G$ be a separable family of graphs. Then for all positive constants $\epsilon$ and $\Delta$ and for every sufficiently large integer $n$, every sequence $G_1,\dotsc,G_t\in\mathcal G$ of graphs of order $n$ and maximum degree…

Separating hash families are useful combinatorial structures which generalize several well-studied objects in cryptography and coding theory. Let $p_t(N, q)$ denote the maximum size of universe for a $t$-perfect hash family of length $N$…

We study the computational complexity of deciding whether a given set of term equalities and inequalities has a solution in an $\omega$-categorical algebra $\mathfrak{A}$. There are $\omega$-categorical groups where this problem is…

Let $\mathfrak{F}$ be a formation and $G$ a finite group. A subgroup $H$ of $G$ is said to be weakly $\mathfrak{F}_{s}$-quasinormal in $G$ if $G$ has an $S$-quasinormal subgroup $T$ such that $HT$ is $S$-quasinormal in $G$ and $(H\cap…

The categories of almost modules and almost algebras are introduced as a convenient setting for the development of Faltings' method of almost etale extensions. After some preliminaries of general "almost homological algebra" we construct…

We say that a set $A$ \emph{$t$-intersects} a set $B$ if $A$ and $B$ have at least $t$ common elements. A family $\mathcal{A}$ of sets is said to be \emph{$t$-intersecting} if each set in $\mathcal{A}$ $t$-intersects any other set in…

This work is concerned with Mishchenko and Fomenko's celebrated theory of completely integrable systems on a complex semisimple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$. Their theory associates a maximal Poisson-commutative subalgebra of…

We study higher analogues of the classical independence number on $\omega$. For $\kappa$ regular uncountable, we denote by $i(\kappa)$ the minimal size of a maximal $\kappa$-independent family. We establish ZFC relations between $i(\kappa)$…

Let A be an exact category, that is, an extension-closed full subcategory of an abelian category. Firstly, we give some necessary and sufficient conditions for A to have almost split sequences. Then, we study when an almost split sequence…
