We study the lattice of all Borel clones on $2 = \{0,1\}$: classes of Borel functions $f : 2^n \to 2$, $n \le \omega$, which are closed under composition and include all projections. This is a natural extension to countable arities of…

In this paper, we study the learnability of the Boolean class of $d$-monotone functions $f:{\cal X}\to\{0,1\}$ from membership and equivalence queries, where $({\cal X},\le)$ is a finite lattice. We show that the class of $d$-monotone…

In this paper we study the problem of detecting prime numbers between all consecutive cubes. Firstly, we use a large computation to show that there is always a prime between $n^3$ and $(n+1)^3$ for $n^3\leq 1.649\cdot 10^{40}$. In addition,…
