For each countable ordinal $\alpha \ge 2$, the ideals $\mathsf{conv}_\alpha$ were introduced in ``Critical ideals for countable compact spaces'' (to appear in Fund. Math., see also arXiv:2503.12571) to characterize compact countable spaces…

Motivated by the Hilbert-space model for quantum mechanics, we define a pre-Hilbert space logic to be a pair $(S,\el)$, where $S$ is a pre-Hilbert space and $\el$ is an orthocomplemented poset of orthogonally closed linear subspaces of $S$,…

We study character varieties arising as moduli of representations of an orientable surface group into a reductive group $G$. We first show that if $G/Z$ acts freely on the representation variety, then both the representation variety and the…

A new and extensive formalism is developed for monads and galaxies in non-standard enlargements. It is shown that monads and galaxies can be manipulated using order-preserving and order-reversing set-to-set maps, and that set properties…

If $X$ is a topological space and $\kappa$ is a cardinal then $\mathsf{BA}_\kappa (X)$ is the statement that for each pair $A, B \subseteq X$ of $\kappa$-dense subsets there is an autohomeomorphism $h:X \to X$ mapping $A$ to $B$. In…

We study topologically invariant means on $L^{\infty}(\mathbb{R})$, the set of all essentially bounded functions on the real line, and prove that invariance with respect to a single convolution operator is sufficient for a mean to be…

A topological space $X$ is defined to have an $\omega^\omega$-base if at each point $x\in X$ the space $X$ has a neighborhood base $(U_\alpha[x])_{\alpha\in\omega^\omega}$ such that $U_\beta[x]\subset U_\alpha[x]$ for all $\alpha\le\beta$…

Let $V$ be a real or complex vector space. The finite topology of $V$ consists of all the subsets $U$ for which the intersection $U \cap F$ is closed in $F$ for every finite-dimensional linear subspace of $V$. It is known that if $V$ has…

We introduce a parameterized family of invariants for $\ell$-uniform hypergraphs. To each $\mathbb{K}$-linear transformation $T:\mathbb{K}^{\ell}\to \mathbb{K}^r$ we associate a function $\mathrm{Sig}(-,T)$ that maps $\ell$-uniform…

This paper establishes a number of constraints on the structure of large cardinals under strong compactness assumptions. These constraints coincide with those imposed by the Ultrapower Axiom, a principle that is expected to hold in Woodin's…

Baez asks whether the Euler characteristic (defined for spaces with finite homology) can be reconciled with the homotopy cardinality (defined for spaces with finite homotopy). We consider the smallest infinity category…

Generalizing a theorem of Campercholi, we characterize, in syntactic terms, the ranges of epimorphisms in an arbitrary class of similar first-order structures (as opposed to an elementary class). This allows us to strengthen a result of…

We establish an Eilenberg-type correspondence for data languages, i.e. languages over an infinite alphabet. More precisely, we prove that there is a bijective correspondence between varieties of languages recognized by orbit-finite nominal…

No convenient internal characterization of spaces that are productively Lindelof is known. Perhaps the best general result known is Alster's internal characterization, under the Continuum Hypothesis, of productively Lindelof spaces which…

Let $X$ be a centered random vector in a finite dimensional real inner product space $\mathcal{E}$. For a subset $C$ of the ambient vector space $V$ of $\mathcal{E}$ and $x,\,y\in V$, write $x\preceq_C y$ if $y-x\in C$. When $C$ is a closed…

A group topology is said to be linear if open subgroups form a base of neighborhoods of the identity element. It is proved that the existence of a nondiscrete extremally disconnected group of Ulam nonmeasurable cardinality with linear…

An action of a compact Lie group is called equivariantly formal, if the Leray--Serre spectral sequence of its Borel fibration degenerates at the E_2-term. This term is as prominent as it is restrictive. In this article, also motivated by…

Two standard invariants used to study the fundamental group G of the complement X of a hyperplane arrangement are the Malcev completion of G and the cohomology groups of X with coefficients in rank one local systems. In this paper, we…

Soft uniform structures provide a way to speak about uniform closeness in a parameterized setting. Working over a fixed parameter set, we treat entourages as soft relations and introduce a notion of \emph{soft uniformity} whose axioms…

With every locally compact group $G$, one can associate several interesting bi-invariant subspaces $X(G)$ of the weakly almost periodic functions $\mathrm{WAP}(G)$ on $G$, each of which captures parts of the representation theory of $G$.…
