A universality conjecture of Farmer and Rhoades [Trans. Amer. Math. Soc., 357(9):3789--3811, 2005] and Farmer [Adv. Math., 411:Paper No. 108781, 14, 2022] asserts that, under some natural conditions, the roots of an entire function should…

For nonmonotonic logics, Cumulativity is an important rule. We show here that Cumulativity fans out into an infinity of different conditions, if the domain is not closed under finite unions.

The existence and justification to the home advantage -- the benefit a sports team receives when playing at home -- has been studied across sport. The majority of research on this topic is limited to individual leagues in short time frames,…

This paper addresses one of the fundamental open questions in the realm of existential rules: the conjecture on the finite controllability of bounded derivation depth rule sets (bdd $\Rightarrow$ fc). We take a step toward a positive…

The motion of a spinning football brings forth the possible existence of a whole class of finite dynamical systems where there may be non-denumerably infinite number of fixed points. They defy the very traditional meaning of the fixed point…

A new axiom is proposed, the Ground Axiom, asserting that the universe is not a nontrivial set-forcing extension of any inner model. The Ground Axiom is first-order expressible, and any model of ZFC has a class-forcing extension which…

It is known that limit theorems for triangular arrays with identically distributed rows yields convergence of densities rather than just convergence in distribution. We show that this superconvergence result holds -- at least at points at…

We give a short proof of Wolff-Denjoy theorem for (not necessarily smooth) strictly convex domains. With similar techniques we are also able to prove a Wolff-Denjoy theorem for weakly convex domains, again without any smoothness assumption…

Here we prove that Reed Conjecture is valid for {P5, Flag_Complement}-free graphs where FlagComplement is the complement of the Flag graph. Some of the known results follow as corollaries to our result. Reed conjecture is still open in…

In this paper we consider the Cheeger problem for non-convex domains, with a particular interest in the case of planar strips, which have been extensively studied in recent years. Our main results are an estimate on the Cheeger constant of…

We analyze the time series of soccer matches in a model-free way using data for the German soccer league (Bundesliga). We argue that the goal difference is a better measure for the overall fitness of a team than the number of points. It is…

This paper, and its companion [BCV24], are devoted to a negative resolution of the Aldous--Lyons Conjecture [AL07, Ald07]. This conjecture, originated in probability theory, is well known (cf. [Gel18]) to be equivalent to the statement that…

If the behavior of a system with many degrees of freedom can be captured by a small number of collective variables, then plausibly there is an underlying mean-field theory. We show that simple versions of this idea fail to describe the…

A word-to-word function is rational if it can be realized by a non-deterministic one-way transducer. Over finite words, it is a classical result that any rational function is regular, i.e. it can be computed by a deterministic two-way…

The most general definition of a continuous function requires that the preimage of any open set be open. Thus, to discuss continuity in the abstract, it is necessary to first define a topology, which tells us which sets in a space are open.…

There exists a proper holomorphic mapping between balls of different dimensions such that it does not extend continuously to the boundary. The aim of this paper is to show the same phenomenon occurs for pseudoconvex domains of different…

Inverse limits, unlike direct limits, can in general be void, [1]. The existence of fixed points for arbitrary mappings $T : X \longrightarrow X$ is conjectured to be equivalent with the fact that related direct limits of all finite…

We show that a smooth bounded domain in $\mathbb{C}^n$ admitting partial pseudoconvex exhaustion remains partial pseudoconvex. The main ingredient of the proof is based on a new characterization of hyper-$q$-convex domains. Furthermore, we…

We prove that if a linear equation, whose coefficients are continuous rational functions on a nonsingular real algebraic surface, has a continuous solution, then it also has a continuous rational solution. This is known to fail in higher…
