We lay the combinatorial foundations for [ShSt:340] by setting up and proving the essential properties of the coding apparatus for singular cardinals. We also prove another result concerning the coding apparatus for inaccessible cardinals.
Here are versions of the proofs of two classic theorems of combinatorial topology. The first is the result that piecewise linearly homeomorphic simplicial complexes are related by stellar moves. This is used in the proof, modelled on that…
We provide an explicit characterization of the properties of primitive recursive functions that are decidable or semi-decidable, given a primitive recursive index for the function. The result is much more general as it applies to any c.e.…
We seek random versions of some classical theorems on complex approximation by polynomials and rational functions, as well as investigate properties of random compact sets in connection to complex approximation.
We prove a family of partition identities which is "dual" to the family of Andrews-Gordon's identities. These identities are inspired by a correspondence between a special type of partitions and "hypergraphs" and their proof uses…
We study the Dirichlet series associated with the integers whose radix-$b$ representation misses certain (fixed) digits. The existence of a meromorphic continuation to the entire complex plane, which was already well-known as a general fact…
We show how a polar representation of a compact connected Lie group can be linearly determined from its dimension and isotropy subgroup data in the general reducible case.
It is shown that CH implies the existence of a compact Hausdorff space that is countable dense homogeneous, crowded and does not contain topological copies of the Cantor set. This contrasts with a previous result by the author which says…
Inspired by a recent work of Dias and Tall, we show that a compact indestructible space is sequentially compact. We also prove that a Lindelof Hausdorff indestructible space has the finite derived set property and a compact Hausdorff…
Cardinal characteristics of the continuum represent the boundaries in size between the countable and the continuum with respect to certain properties of sets. They are often defined as the minimum sizes of families of reals that meet some…
We first show that the projection image of a discrete definable set is again discrete for an arbitrary definably complete locally o-minimal structure. This fact together with the results in a previous paper implies tame dimension theory and…
We present several new theorems concerning the first fundamental group of a path connected metric space. Among the results proven are strengthenings of the main theorems of \cite{Sh2} and \cite{CoCo}. A compactness theorem for the…
Let $X$ be a compact subset of the complex plane and $x \in X$. A necessary and sufficient condition is given in terms of Hausdorff contents for the existence of a bounded point derivation at $x$ on the space of vanishing Campanato…
Let $G$ be a finite group and $p$ be a prime. We study the kernel of the map, between the Burnside ring of $G$ and the Grothendieck ring of $\mathbb{F}_p[G]$-modules, taking a $G$-set to its associated permutation module. We are able, for…
This paper continues the program connecting reverse mathematics and computable analysis via the framework of Weihrauch reducibility. In particular, we consider problems related to perfect subsets of Polish spaces, studying the perfect set…
Let the Ricci curvature of a compact Riemannian manifold be greater, at every point, than the Lie derivative of the metric with respect to some fixed smooth vector field. It is shown that the fundamental group then has only finitely many…
We prove that every weakly square compact cardinal is a strong limit cardinal. We also study Aronszajn trees with no uncountable finitely branching subtrees, characterizing them in terms of being Lindel\"of with respect to a particular…
The weak Whyburn property is a generalization of the classical sequential property that has been studied by many authors. A space $X$ is weakly Whyburn if for every non-closed set $A \subset X$ there is a subset $B \subset A$ such that…
For any cardinal number $\kappa$ and an index set $\Gamma$, $\Sigma_\kappa$-product of real lines consists of elements of ${\mathbb R}^\Gamma$ having $<\kappa$ nonzero coordinates. A compact space $K$ is $\kappa$-Corson compact if it can be…
For a commutative finite $\mathbb{Z}$-algebra, i.e., for a commutative ring $R$ whose additive group is finitely generated, it is known that the group of units of $R$ is finitely generated, as well. Our main results are algorithms to…
