Schnorr showed that a real is Martin-Loef random if and only if all of its initial segments are incompressible with respect to prefix-free complexity. Fortnow and independently Nies, Stephan and Terwijn noticed that this statement remains…

We present a new fragment of axiomatic set theory for pure sets and for the iteration of power sets within given transitive sets. It turns out that this formal system admits an interesting hierarchy of models with true membership relation…

In the study of the arithmetic degrees (the degree structure induced by relative arithmetic definability, ($\leq_{a}$) the $\omega$-REA sets play a role analogous to the role the r.e. degrees play in the study of the Turing degrees.…

It is natural to study octonion Hilbert spaces as the recently swift development of the theory of quaternion Hilbert spaces. In order to do this, it is important to study first its algebraic structure, namely, octonion modules. In this…

In this paper, we study Bernoulli random sequences, i.e., sequences that are Martin-L\"of random with respect to a Bernoulli measure $\mu_p$ for some $p\in[0,1]$, where we allow for the possibility that $p$ is noncomputable. We focus in…

We investigate possible linear, algebraic, and Frobenius flock characteristic sets of matroids. In particular, we classify possible combinations of linear and algebraic characteristic sets when the algebraic characteristic set is finite or…

We show that a computable function $f:\mathbb R\rightarrow\mathbb R$ has Luzin's property (N) if and only if it reflects $\Pi^1_1$-randomnes, if and only if it reflects $\Delta^1_1(\mathcal O)$-randomness, and if and only if it reflects…

For finitely generated modules $N \subsetneq M$ over a Noetherian ring $R$, we study the following properties about primary decomposition: (1) The Compatibility property, which says that if $\ass (M/N)=\{P_1, P_2, ..., P_s\}$ and $Q_i$ is a…

The main result of this paper is to show that all binomial identities are orderable. This is a natural statement in the combinatorial theory of finite sets, which can also be applied in distributed computing to derive new strong bounds on…

Algorithmic randomness theory starts with a notion of an individual random object. To be reasonable, this notion should have some natural properties; in particular, an object should be random with respect to image distribution if and only…

Let $R$ be a finite ring and let $M, N$ be two finite left $R$-modules. We present two distinct deterministic algorithms that decide in polynomial time whether or not $M$ and $N$ are isomorphic, and if they are, exhibit an isomorphism. As…

We argue that it makes sense to talk about ``typical'' properties of lattices, and then show that there is, up to isomorphism, a unique countable lattice L* (the Fraisse limit of the class of finite lattices) that has all ``typical''…

Let $R$ be an affine algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $0$ with dim$(R)=n$. Let $P$ be a projective $A=R[T_1,\cdots,T_k]$-module of rank $n$ with determinant $L$. Suppose $I$ is an ideal of $A$ of height $n$ such…

In this note, we discuss planar lattices generated by their atoms. We prove that if $L$ is a planar lattice generated by $n$ atoms, then both the left and the right boundaries of $L$ have at most $n+1$ elements. On the other hand, $L$ can…

In this paper, we use a simple discrete dynamical model to study partitions of integers into powers of another integer. We extend and generalize some known results about their enumeration and counting, and we give new structural results. In…

We initiate an investigation of structures on the set of real numbers having the property that path components of definable sets are definable. All o\nobreakdash-\hspace{0pt}minimal structures on $(\mathbb{R},<)$ have the property, as do…

A graph property (i.e., a set of graphs) is induced-hereditary or additive if it is closed under taking induced-subgraphs or disjoint unions. If $\cP$ and $\cQ$ are properties, the product $\cP \circ \cQ$ consists of all graphs $G$ for…

We examine the selective screenability property in topological groups. In the metrizable case we also give characterizations in terms of the Haver property and finitary Haver property respectively relative to left-invariant metrics. We…

We study the notion of Rickart property in a general module theoretic setting as a generalization to the concept of Baer modules and right Rickart rings. A module $M_{R}$ is called Rickart if the right annihilator in $M_{R}$ of each left…

We construct irreducible unitary representations of a finitely generated free group which are weakly contained in the left regular representation and in which a given linear combination of the generators has an eigenvalue. When the…
