We prove collective versions of semi-duality theorems for sets of almost (limitedly, order) L-weakly compact operators.

We discuss the attainability of sharp constants for the Maz'ya--Sobolev inequalities in wedges, "perturbed" wedges and bounded domains.

We present simple conditions for Bayesian consistency in the supremum metric. The key to the technique is a triangle inequality which allows us to explicitly use weak convergence, a consequence of the standard Kullback--Leibler support…

The classical Baldwin-Lachlan characterization of uncountably categorical theories is known to fail in continuous logic in that not every inseparably categorical theory has a strongly minimal set. Here we investigate these issues by…

The Minkowski content of a compact set is a fine measure of its geometric scaling. For Lebesgue null sets it measures the decay of the Lebesgue measure of epsilon neighbourhoods of the set. It is well known that self-similar sets,…

We show that the continuum hypothesis implies there exists a Lindelof space X such that X x X is the union of two metrizable subspaces but X is not metrizable. This gives a consistent solution to a problem of Balogh, Gruenhage, and Tkachuk.…

The Majority is Stablest Theorem has numerous applications in hardness of approximation and social choice theory. We give a new proof of the Majority is Stablest Theorem by induction on the dimension of the discrete cube. Unlike the…

A result of H. Steinhaus states that any positive Lebesgue measurable set has a property that its difference set contains an open interval around the origin. Y. V. Mospan proved that this result is the characterization of absolutely…

We investigate the $\sigma$-porosity of certain known ideals of subsets of natural numbers. Porosity is a notion of smallness in metric spaces that is stronger than nowhere density. Analogously, $\sigma$-porosity is a strengthening of…

We study two form of selective selective separability, $SS$ and $SS^+$, on countable spaces with an analytic topology. We show several Ramsey type properties which imply $SS$. For analytic spaces $X$, $SS^+$ is equivalent to have that the…

We prove that if $\mathcal{A}$ is a $\sigma$-complete Boolean algebra in a model $V$ of set theory and $\mathbb{P}\in V$ is a proper forcing with the Laver property preserving the ground model reals non-meager, then every pointwise…

Given an uncountable cardinal $\kappa$, we consider the question of whether subsets of the power set of $\kappa$ that are usually constructed with the help of the Axiom of Choice are definable by $\Sigma_1$-formulas that only use the…

We give a simple example of a set that is weakly Dedekind infinite (= can be mapped onto omega) but dually Dedekind finite (=cannot be mapped noninjectively onto itself), namely, the power set of a superamorphous set. (A infinite set is…

Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ be a set with finite Lebesgue measure such that, for a fixed radius $r>0$, the Lebesgue measure of $\Omega \cap B_r (x)$ is equal to a positive constant when $x$ varies in the essential boundary of…

We show that in the theory ZF + DC + for every cardinal {\lambda}, the set of infinite subsets of {\lambda} is well-ordered (i.e., Shelah's AX4), the {\theta}-function measuring the surjective size of the powersets P({\kappa}) can take…

It is well known that axiom of choice implies the existence of non-measurable sets for Lebesgue's measure on R as well as the existence of "paradoxical" decompositions of the unit ball of R^3 (Banach-Tarski). This is generally interpreted…

Let $\Omega$ be an open set in a metric measure space $X$. Our main result gives an equivalence between the validity of a weighted Hardy-Sobolev inequality in $\Omega$ and quasiadditivity of a weighted capacity with respect to Whitney…

We study the strength of set-theoretic axioms needed to prove Rabin's theorem on the decidability of the MSO theory of the infinite binary tree. We first show that the complementation theorem for tree automata, which forms the technical…

Given a measurable space (X, M) there is a (Galois) connection between sub-sigma-algebras of M and equivalence relations on X. On the other hand equivalence relations on X are closely related to congruences on stochastic relations. In…

Working with uncountable structures of fixed cardinality, we investigate the complexity of certain equivalence relations and show that if V = L, then many of them are \Sigma^1_1-complete, in particular the isomorphism relation of dense…
