We resolve a conjecture of Cooper-Fenner-Purewal that a certain sequence of combinatorial matrices which can be used to bound small product-Ramsey numbers is positive semidefinite. Because the connection to Ramsey Theory involves solving…
This paper presents some sufficient conditions for the validity of the comparison principle for the weak solutions of non - cooperative weakly coupled systems of elliptic second-order PDEs.
In this article we develop counterexamples to the Hasse principle using only techniques from undergraduate number theory and algebra. By keeping the technical prerequisites to a minimum, we hope to provide a path for nonspecialists to this…
This is part of an ongoing project to find a general algebraic framework for semiring theory. The structure theory of semirings is quite challenging, largely because of the lack of negation, and such basic properties such as unique…
A family I of subsets of a set X is an ideal on X if it is closed under taking subsets and finite unions of its elements. An ideal I on X is below an ideal J on Y in the Katetov order if there is a function $f:Y\to X$ such that…
Subregion duality in AdS/CFT implies certain constraints on the geometry: entanglement wedges must contain causal wedges, and nested boundary regions must have nested entanglement wedges. We elucidate the logical connections between these…
A k-ary semi-algebraic relation E on R^d is a subset of R^{kd}, the set of k-tuples of points in R^d, which is determined by a finite number of polynomial equations and inequalities in kd real variables. The description complexity of such a…
The celebrated theorem of Kechris, Pestov and Todor\v{c}evi\'c connecting structural Ramsey theory with topological dynamics has as a consequence that the Fra\"{\i}ss\'e limit of a Ramsey class of non-trivial finite relational structures…
We further develop the theory of layered semigroups, as introduced by Farah, Hindman and McLeod, providing a general framework to prove Ramsey statements about such a semigroup $S$. By nonstandard and topological arguments, we show Ramsey…
The same method that creates adversarial examples (AEs) to fool image-classifiers can be used to generate counterfactual explanations (CEs) that explain algorithmic decisions. This observation has led researchers to consider CEs as AEs by…
A major theme in arithmetic combinatorics is proving multiple recurrence results on semigroups (such as Szemer\'edi's theorem) and this can often be done using methods of ergodic Ramsey theory. What usually lies at the heart of such proofs…
We introduce the definability strength of combinatorial principles. In terms of definability strength, a combinatorial principle is strong if solving a corresponding combinatorial problem could help in simplifying the definition of a…
Guided by the connections between hypergraphs and exterior algebras, we study Tur\'an and Ramsey type problems for alternating multilinear maps. This study lies at the intersection of combinatorics, group theory, and algebraic geometry, and…
In this paper we study admissible extensions of several theories T of reverse mathematics. The idea is that in such an extension the structure M = (N,S,\in) of the natural numbers N and collection of sets of natural numbers S has to obey…
The development of supersymmetric (SUSY) quantum mechanics has shown that some of the insights based on the algebraic properties of ladder operators related to the quantum mechanical harmonic oscillator carry over to the study of more…
AC State Estimation (ACSE) is widely recognized as a practical approach for determining the grid states in steady-state conditions. It serves as a fundamental analysis to ensure grid security and is a reference for market dispatch. As grid…
Hirst investigated a slight variant of Hindman's Finite Sums Theorem -- called Hilbert's Theorem -- and proved it equivalent over $\RCA_0$ to the Infinite Pigeonhole Principle for all colors. This gave the first example of a natural…
We point out that pure supergravity theories in $AdS$ with enough supersymmetry lead, upon taking the large radius limit, to flat space quantum gravities with a nonperturbatively exact global symmetry, and are therefore in the Swampland.…
This thesis deals with General Probabilistic Theories (GPTs) and Entanglement Structures (ESs). An ES is a possible structure of a quantum composite system in GPTs, which is not uniquely determined as the Standard Entanglement Structure…
The notion of a tamely ramified covering is canonical only for curves. Several notions of tameness for coverings of higher dimensional schemes have been used in the literature. We show that all these definitions are essentially equivalent.…
