In this paper we seek to determine the Jacobson radical of certain algebras based on semigroups, and in particular on the semigroups $(\beta S, \Box)$, where $S$ is a cancellative, countable, abelian semigroup and $\beta S$ is its…

Let $\beta>1$. For $x \in [0,\infty)$, we have so-called the $\beta$-expansion of $x$ in base $\beta$ as follows: $$x= \sum_{j \leq k} x_{j}\beta^{j} = x_{k}\beta^{k}+ \cdots + x_{1}\beta+x_{0}+x_{-1}\beta^{-1} + x_{-2}\beta^{-2} + \cdots$$…

There is a long history of studying Ramsey theory using the algebraic structure of the Stone-\v{C}ech compactification of discrete semigroup. It has been shown that various Ramsey theoretic structures are contained in different algebraic…

Suppose that $(x_s)_{s\in S}$ is a normalized family in a Banach space indexed by the dyadic tree $S$. Using Stern's combinatorial theorem we extend important results from sequences in Banach spaces to tree-families. More precisely,…

It was proved that whenever N is partitioned into finitely many cells, one cell must contain arbitrary length geo-arithmetic progressions. It was also proved that arithmetic and geometric progressions can be nicely intertwined in one cell…

In this paper, we extend the Banach contraction principle to metric-like as well as partial metric spaces (not essentially complete) equipped with an arbitrary binary relation. Thereafter, we derive some fixed point results which are…

$\beta(1,0)$-trees provide a convenient description of rooted non-separable planar maps. The involution $h$ on $\beta(1,0)$-trees was introduced to prove a complicated equidistribution result on a class of pattern-avoiding permutations. In…

We investigate for which compactifications $\gamma\omega$ of the discrete space of natural numbers $\omega$, the natural copy of the Banach space $c_0$ is complemented in $C(\gamma\omega)$. We show, in particular, that the separability of…

The goal of this note two-fold. First, I draw attention to the way that semistability (in the sense of King) gives us a geometrical picture of (some of) the extension-closed abelian subcategories of a finite-dimensional algebra. Second, I…

We prove that for any integers $\alpha, \beta > 1$, the existential fragment of the first-order theory of the structure $\langle \mathbb{Z}; 0,1,<, +, \alpha^{\mathbb{N}}, \beta^{\mathbb{N}}\rangle$ is decidable (where $\alpha^{\mathbb{N}}$…

For complete affine manifolds we introduce a definition of compactification based on the projective differential geometry (i.e.\ geodesic path data) of the given connection. The definition of projective compactness involves a real parameter…

Let $K$ be a number field with ring of integers $\mathcal{O}$ and $\alpha\in\mathcal{O}$. For any prime ideal $\mathfrak{p}$ of $\mathcal{O}$, we obtain its higher $\alpha$-Wieferich property, which implies a nonexistence theorem for higher…

We introduce the notion of a restricted exchangeable partition of $\mathbb{N}$. We obtain integral representations, consider associated fragmentations, embeddings into continuum random trees and convergence to such limit trees. In…

Considering a random binary tree with $n$ labelled leaves, we use a pruning procedure on this tree in order to construct a $\beta(3/2,1/2)$-coalescent process. We also use the continuous analogue of this construction, i.e. a pruning…

In this note we shall prove that the Stone-\v{C}ech compactification of $\mathcal{L}^n$ is the space $\bar{\mathcal{L}}^n$ where $\bar{\mathcal{L}}$ is the extended long line, namely, $\mathcal{L}$ together with its ends $\pm \Omega$. We…

We study a fine hierarchy of Borel-piecewise continuous functions, especially, between closed-piecewise continuity and $G_\delta$-piecewise continuity. Our aim is to understand how a priority argument in computability theory is connected to…

Many natural notions of additive and multiplicative largeness arise from results in Ramsey theory. In this paper, we explain the relationships between these notions for subsets of $\mathbb{N}$ and in more general ring-theoretic structures.…

We study an infinite system of ordinary differential equations that models the evolution of coagulating and fragmenting clusters, which we assume to be composed of identical units. Under very mild assumptions on the coefficients we prove…

We initiate the study of the Stone-\v{C}ech transformation groupoid $\mathcal{G} = \mathcal{S}\ltimes\beta\mathcal{S}$ of an inverse semigroup $\mathcal{S}$. We prove that the properties of being Hausdorff, principal, and effective are all…

The paper contains an exposition of part of topology using partitions of unity. The main idea is to create variants of the Tietze Extension Theorem and use them to derive classical theorems. This idea leads to a new result generalizing…
