Let K be a finite field and let X be a subset of a projective space, over the field K, which is parameterized by monomials arising from the edges of a clutter. We show some estimates for the degree-complexity, with respect to the revlex…

The concept of refinement from probability elicitation is considered for proper scoring rules. Taking directions from the axioms of probability, refinement is further clarified using a Hilbert space interpretation and reformulated into the…

The idea of this paper is to explore the existence of canonical countably saturated models for different classes of structures. It is well-known that, under CH, there exists a unique countably saturated linear order of cardinality…

We prove, via transfinite recursion, the existence, inside any linearly ordered set of appropriate regular cardinality $\lambda$, of a particular kind of well-ordered subsets characterized by the property of $\lambda$-fullness. Let $H$ be a…

We introduce a real-parameter refinement of the classical integer hierarchies underlying Schmidt number, block-positivity, and $k$-positivity for maps between matrix algebras. Starting from a compact family of $\alpha$-admissible unit…

Every conditionally convergent series of real numbers has a divergent subseries. How many subsets of the natural numbers are needed so that every conditionally convergent series diverges on the subseries corresponding to one of these sets?…

Prolog's ability to return multiple answers on backtracking provides an elegant mechanism to derive reversible encodings of combinatorial objects as Natural Numbers i.e. {\em ranking} and {\em unranking} functions. Starting from a…

Let M denote the ideal of first category subsets of R. We prove that min{card X: X \subseteq R, X \not\in M} is the smallest cardinality of a family S \subseteq {0,1}^\omega with the property that for each f: \omega -> \bigcup_{n \in…

For a cardinal $\mathfrak{a}$, let $\mathrm{fin}(\mathfrak{a})$ be the cardinality of the set of all finite subsets of a set which is of cardinality $\mathfrak{a}$. It is proved without the aid of the axiom of choice that for all infinite…

We investigate infinitary wellfounded systems for linear logic with fixed points, with transfinite branching rules indexed by some closure ordinal $\alpha$ for fixed points. Our main result is that provability in the system for some…

Assume L(\mathbb{R},\mu) satisfies ZF+DC+\Theta>\omega_2 + \mu is a normal fine measure on \powerset_{\omega_1}(\mathbb{R}). The main result of this paper is the characterization theorem of L(\mathbb{R},\mu) which states that…

The study of Locally Checkable Labelings (LCLs) has led to a remarkably precise characterization of the distributed time complexities that can occur on bounded-degree trees. A central feature of this complexity landscape is the existence of…

In this article, we study combinatorial properties of a certain ideal on $\omega$, called the \emph{Splitting ideal}. We calculate its cardinal invariants and its position in the Kat\v{e}tov order among other definable ideals. We also study…

Under large cardinal hypotheses beyond the Kunen inconsistency -- hypotheses so strong as to contradict the Axiom of Choice -- we solve several variants of the generalized continuum problem and identify structural features of the levels…

We prove that if there is a real-valued measurable cardinal then the splitting number is $\aleph_1$. Likewise, if the continuum is real-valued measurable then the reaping number equals the continuum.

Lambek's non-associative syntactic calculus (NL) excels in its resource consciousness: the usual structural rules for weakening, contraction, exchange and even associativity are all dropped. Recently, there have been proposals for…

An expurgating linear function (ELF) is a linear outer code that disallows the low-weight codewords of the inner code. ELFs can be designed either to maximize the minimum distance or to minimize the codeword error rate (CER) of the…

Recent work has shown logical background knowledge can be used in learning systems to compensate for a lack of labeled training data. Many methods work by creating a loss function that encodes this knowledge. However, often the logic is…
