We show that in the model obtained by iteratively pseudo-intersecting a Ramsey ultrafilter via a length-$\omega_2$ countable support iteration of restricted Mathias forcing over a ground model satisfying $\textsf{CH}$, there is a unique…

We explore the indecomposable submodule structure of quantum Grassmann super-algebra $\Omega_q(m|n)$ and its truncated objects $\Omega_q(m|n,\textbf{r})$ in the case when $q=\varepsilon$ is an $\ell$-th root of unity. A net-like…

Let $G$ be a connected semi-simple algebraic group of adjoint type over an algebraically closed field, and let $\overline{G}$ be the wonderful compactification of $G$. For a fixed pair $(B, B^-)$ of opposite Borel subgroups of $G$, we look…

Let $p$ be an idempotent ultrafilter over $\mathbb{N}$. For a positive integer $N$, let ${\cal P}_{\leq N}$ denote the additive group of polynomials $P\in\mathbb{Z}[x]$ with ${\rm deg}\, P\leq N$ and $P(0)=0$. Given a unitary operator $U$…

Let $\mathcal C$ be a class of topological semigroups. A semigroup $X$ is called (1) $\mathcal C$-$closed$ if $X$ is closed in every topological semigroup $Y\in\mathcal C$ containing $X$ as a discrete subsemigroup, (2) $ideally$ $\mathcal…

For a signature L with at least one constant symbol, an L-structure is called minimal if it has no proper substructures. Let S_L be the set of isomorphism types of minimal L-structures. The elements of S_L can be identified with…

Given a Fell bundle $\mathscr C\overset{q}{\to}\Xi$ over the discrete groupoid $\Xi$, we study the symmetry of the associated Hahn algebra $\ell^{\infty,1}(\Xi\!\mid\!\mathscr C)$ in terms of the isotropy subgroups of $\Xi$. We prove that…

A topological space $X$ is defined to have a neighborhood $P$-base at any $x\in X$ from some poset $P$ if there exists a neighborhood base $(U_p[x])_{p\in P}$ at $x$ such that $U_p[x]\subseteq U_{p'}[x]$ for all $p\geq p'$ in $P$. We prove…

A continuous quadratic form ("quadratic form", in short) on a Banach space $X$ is: (a) delta-semidefinite (i.e., representable as a difference of two nonnegative quadratic forms) if and only if the corresponding symmetric linear operator…

We study the geometry of the space of measures of a compact ultrametric space X, endowed with the L^p Wasserstein distance from optimal transportation. We show that the power p of this distance makes this Wasserstein space affinely…

The principal filtration of the infinite-dimensional odd Contact Lie superalgebra over a field of characteristic $p>2$ is proved to be invariant under the automorphism group by investigating ad-nilpotent elements and determining certain…

We define and study a notion of minimal exponent for a locally complete intersection subscheme $Z$ of a smooth complex algebraic variety $X$, extending the invariant defined by Saito in the case of hypersurfaces. Our definition is in terms…

We continue the research of the relation $\hspace{1mm}\widetilde{\mid}\hspace{1mm}$ on the set $\beta {\mathbb{N}}$ of ultrafilters on ${\mathbb{N}}$, defined as an extension of the divisibility relation. It is a quasiorder, so we see it as…

We provide the set of filters (saturated submonoids) in a commutative monoid with a topology (like the spectrum of a ring) and study the resulting spaces.

We continue the exploration of various aspects of divisibility of ultrafilters, adding one more relation to the picture: multiplicative finite embeddability. We show that it lies between divisibility relations $\mid_M$ and…

A tie-point of a compact space is analogous to a cut-point: the complement of the point falls apart into two relatively clopen non-compact subsets. Set-theoretically a tie-point of N* is an ultrafilter whose dual maximal ideal can be…

Compact metric spaces form an important class of metric spaces, but the category that they define lacks many important properties such as completeness and cocompleteness. In recent studies of "metric domain theory" and Stone-type dualities,…

We examine several classical concepts from topology and functional analysis, using methods of commutative algebra. We show that these various concepts are all controlled by BC R-rings and their maximal spectra. A BC R-ring is a ring A that…

Persistent homology maps a simplicial complex filtered by elements in $\mathbb R$ to finite formal sums of elements of $\mathbb R_{\leq}^{2} = \{ (b,d) \in \mathbb R^2 \cup \{ \infty \} \mid b < d \}$ called (finite) persistence diagrams.…

The main result of the paper is an extension of the Dirichlet problem from (closures of) bounded open domains U to arbitrary compact subsets X of the complex plane, i.e. the closure of the corresponding space of functions which are harmonic…
