We show that bounded type implies finite type for a constructible subcategory of the module category of a finitely generated algebra over a field, which is a variant of the first Brauer-Thrall conjecture. A full subcategory is constructible…

Andrew Wiles' proof of Fermat's Last Theorem, with an assist from Richard Taylor, focused renewed attention on the foundational question of whether the use of Grothendieck's Universes in number theory entails that the results proved…

The coefficients $A_n(\alpha,\beta,\omega)$ in the Maclaurin expansion $(1+\omega z)^{\alpha}(1-z)^{-\beta}= \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} A_n(\alpha,\beta,\omega)z^n$ are studied, where $\omega,z \in \mathbb{C}$ with $|z| < |\omega|=1$, and…

We study the uniqueness of optimal solutions to extremal graph theory problems. Lovasz conjectured that every finite feasible set of subgraph density constraints can be extended further by a finite set of density constraints so that the…

In the literature on Kleene algebra (KA), a number of variants have been proposed such as Kleene algebra with tests, commutative KA, bi-KA, and concurrent KA. The equational theories of some of these structures have then been studied in the…

Given a first-order theory $T$ formulated in the usual language of first-order arithmetic, we say that $T$ is of *restricted complexity* if there is some natural number $n$ and some set $\mathcal A$ of $\Sigma_n$-sentences such that $T$ can…

Let \( A \subset M \) be an inclusion of von Neumann algebras equipped with a faithful normal semifinite operator valued weight \( E \colon M \to A \). We prove that every positive element \( x \in M \) with \( E(x) < \infty \) satisfies…

For a pair $(E,P)$ of an elliptic curve $E/\mathbb{Q}$ and a nontorsion point $P\in E(\mathbb{Q})$, the sequence of \emph{elliptic Fermat numbers} is defined by taking quotients of terms in the corresponding elliptic divisibility sequence…

In this article, we prove two new versions of a theorem proven by Efron in [Efr65]. Efron's theorem says that if a function $\phi : \mathbb{R}^2 \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is non-decreasing in each argument then we have that the function $s…
