We give a brief exposition and proof of the arithmetic regularity lemma of Green and Tao in the abelian ($U^2$) case, over $\{1,\dots,N\}$. This may be useful to those who need just the $U^2$ case of the lemma, as the general case is…
We prove a variant of the abstract probabilistic version of Szemer\'edi's regularity lemma, due to Tao, which applies to a number of structures (including graphs, hypergraphs, hypercubes, graphons, and many more) and works for random…
This is a short expository account of the regularity lemma for stable graphs proved by the authors, with some comments on the model theoretic context, written for a general logical audience.
We prove a regularity lemma with respect to arbitrary Keisler measures mu on V, nu on W where the bipartite graph (V,W,R) is definable in a saturated structure M and the formula R(x,y) is stable. The proof is rather quick and uses local…
We generalize the stable graph regularity lemma of Malliaris and Shelah to the case of finite structures in finite relational languages, e.g., finite hypergraphs. We show that under the model-theoretic assumption of stability, such a…
The stability theorem for persistent homology is a central result in topological data analysis. While the original formulation of the result concerns the persistence barcodes of $\mathbb{R}$-valued functions, the result was later cast in a…
We define a natural notion of higher order stability and show that subsets of $\mathbb{F}_p^n$ that are tame in this sense can be approximately described by a union of low-complexity quadratic varieties, up to linear error. This generalizes…
Szemer\'edi's regularity lemma is a powerful tool in graph theory. It states that for every large enough graph, there exists a partition of the edge set with bounded size such that most induced subgraphs are quasirandom. When the graph is a…
We study Tao's finitary viewpoint of convergence in metric spaces, as captured by the notion of metastability. We adopt the perspective of continuous model theory. We show that, in essence, metastable convergence with a given rate is the…
The algebraic stability theorem for $\mathbb{R}$-persistence modules is a fundamental result in topological data analysis. We present a stability theorem for $n$-dimensional rectangle decomposable persistence modules up to a constant…
We prove an analytic version of the stable graph regularity lemma from \cite{MaSh}, which applies to stable functions $f\colon V\times W\to [0,1]$. Our methods involve continuous model theory and, in particular, results on the structure of…
We prove a version of Hrushovski's socle lemma for rigid groups in an arbitrary simple theory.
We generalize Hrushovski's group configuration theorem to the case where the type of the configuration is generically stable, without assuming tameness of the ambient theory. The properties of generically stable types, which we recall in…
A method of ``algebraic estimates'' is developed, and used to study the stability properties of integrals of the form \int_B|f(z)|^{-\d}dV, under small deformations of the function f. The estimates are described in terms of a stratification…
We provide an explicit uniform bound on the local stability of ergodic averages in uniformly convex Banach spaces. Our result can also be viewed as a finitary version in the sense of T. Tao of the Mean Ergodic Theorem for such spaces and so…
In a recent paper, Chernikov and Starchenko prove that graphs defined in distal theories have strong regularity properties, generalizing previous results about graphs defined by semi-algebraic relations. We give a shorter, purely…
We develop a general theory of local stability up to belonging to an ideal (e.g. having measure zero). From a model-theoretic perspective, we prove a stationarity principle for almost stable formulas in this sense, and build a topological…
Ioffe's criterion and various reformulations of it have become a~standard tool in proving theorems guaranteeing metric regularity of a (set-valued) mapping. First, we demonstrate that one should always use directly the so-called general…
The purpose of this simple note is to provide elementary model-theoretic proofs to some existing results on sumset phenomena and IP sets, motivated by Hrushovski's work on the stabilizer theorem.
For regularized distributions we establish stability of the characterization of the normal law in Cramer's theorem with respect to the total variation norm and the entropic distance. As part of the argument, Sapogov-type theorems are…
