We present a self-contained analysis of infinity from two mathematical perspectives: set theory and algebra. We begin with cardinal and ordinal numbers, examining deep questions such as the continuum hypothesis, along with foundational…

Let G be a reductive group over an algebraically closed field k of separably good characteristic p>0 for G. Under these assumptions a Springer isomorphism from the reduced nilpotent scheme of the Lie algebra of G to the reduced unipotent…

We study a class of measure-theoretic objects that we call cubic couplings, on which there is a common generalization of the Gowers norms and the Host-Kra seminorms. Our main result yields a complete structural description of cubic…

This paper explores the dimension theory of non-Noetherian graded rings by introducing the class of Hilbert-Serre rings. We generalize Krull's dimension theorem and Smoke's dimension theorem by establishing the fundamental inequalities…

A new probabilistic technique for establishing the existence of certain regular combinatorial structures has been recentlyintroduced by Kuperberg, Lovett, and Peled (STOC 2012). Using this technique, it can be shown that under certain…

Let $G$ be a finite graph of genus $g$. Let $d$ and $r$ be non-negative integers such that the Brill-Noether number is non-negative. It is known that for some $k$ sufficiently large, the $k$-th homothetic refinement $G^{(k)}$ of $G$ admits…

An old question of Erdos asks if there exists, for each number N, a finite set S of integers greater than N and residue classes r(n) mod n for n in S whose union is all the integers. We prove that if $\sum_{n\in S} 1/n$ is bounded for such…

We define k-genericity and k-largeness for a subset of a group, and determine the value of k for which a k-large subset of G^n is already the whole of G^n , for various equationally defined subsets. We link this with the inner measure of…

For all positive integers $k,l,n$, the Little Glaisher theorem states that the number of partitions of $n$ into parts not divisible by $k$ and occurring less than $l$ times is equal to the number of partitions of $n$ into parts not…

De Sitter black holes and other non-perturbative configurations can be used to probe the holographic degrees of freedom of de Sitter space. For small black holes evidence was first given in seminal work of Banks, Fiol, and Morrise; and…

The paper introduces the notion of the size of countable sets that preserves the Part-Whole Principle and generalizes the notion of the cardinality of finite sets. The sizes of natural numbers, integers, rational numbers, and all their…

We point out that the recent conjecture relating large N gauge theories to string theory in anti-de Sitter spaces offers a resolution in principle of many problems in black hole physics. This is because the gauge theory also describes…

We identify pairs of positive integers $(t, d)$ with the property that the integer sequence with general term $\lfloor{n^t/d\rfloor}$ contains at most finitely many primes.

We show that for any $k\in\omega$, the structure $(H_k,\in)$ of sets that are hereditarily of size at most $k$ is decidable. We provide a transparent complete axiomatization of its theory, a quantifier elimination result, and tight bounds…

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic p>0. We compute the Weyl filtration multiplicities in indecomposable tilting modules and the decomposition numbers for the general linear group over k in terms of cap diagrams under…

For positive integers k,n, we investigate the simplicial complex NM_k(n) of all graphs G on vertex set [n] such that every matching in G has size less than k. This complex (along with other associated cell complexes) is found to be homotopy…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic. For any integer $m \geq 2$, we show that the Hodge numbers of a smooth projective $k$-variety can take on any combination of values modulo $m$, subject only to Serre…

We prove an upper bound for the number of representations of a positive integer $N$ as the sum of four $k$-th powers of integers of size at most $B$, using a new version of the Determinant method developed by Heath-Brown, along with recent…

The extreme-gravity collisions of binaries with one black hole and one neutron star provide for excellent tests of general relativity. We here study how well one can constrain theories beyond general relativity with additional scalar fields…

An algebraic integer is said large if all its real or complex embeddings have absolute value larger than $1$. An integral ideal is said \emph{large} if it admits a large generator. We investigate the notion of largeness, relating it to some…
