We prove the consistency of ZF+DC+"there are no mad families"+"there exists a non-meager filter on $\omega$" relative to ZFC, answering a question of Neeman and Norwood. We also introduce a weaker version of madness, and we strengthen the…
For a Banach space $X$ its subset $Y\subseteq X$ is called overcomplete if $|Y|=dens(X)$ and $Z$ is linearly dense in $X$ for every $Z\subseteq Y$ with $|Z|=|Y|$. In the context of nonseparable Banach spaces this notion was introduced…
In this paper we introduce a new technique to prove the existence of closed subspaces of maximal dimension inside sets of topological vector sequence spaces. The results we prove cover some sequence spaces not studied before in the context…
Seese's conjecture for finite graphs states that monadic second-order logic (MSO) is undecidable on all graph classes of unbounded clique-width. We show that to establish this it would suffice to show that grids of unbounded size can be…
We study the number of the vectors determined by two sets in d-dimensional vector spaces over finite fields. We observe that the lower bound of cardinality for the set of vectors can be given in view of an additive energy or the decay of…
We investigate the size of the distance set determined by two subsets of finite dimensional vector spaces over finite fields. A lower bound of the size is given explicitly in terms of cardinalities of the two subsets. As a result, we…
The paper concerns the problem whether a nonseparable $\C(K)$ space must contain a set of unit vectors whose cardinality equals to the density of $\C(K)$ such that the distances between every two distinct vectors are always greater than…
We show that every definable subset of an uncountably categorical pseudofinite structure has pseudofinite cardinality which is polynomial (over the rationals) in the size of any strongly minimal subset, with the degree of the polynomial…
We bound the number of nearly orthogonal vectors with fixed VC-dimension over $\setpm^n$. Our bounds are of interest in machine learning and empirical process theory and improve previous bounds by Haussler. The bounds are based on a simple…
We study the restricted families of projections in vector spaces over finite fields. We show that there are families of random subspaces which admit a Marstrand-Mattila type projection theorem.
The essence of the notion of lineability and spaceability is to find linear structures in somewhat chaotic environments. The existing methods, in general, use \textit{ad hoc} arguments and few general techniques are known. Motivated by the…
The tower number $\mathfrak t$ and the ultrafilter number $\mathfrak u$ are cardinal characteristics from set theory. They are based on combinatorial properties of classes of subsets of~$\omega$ and the almost inclusion relation…
We solve the following problem of Z. F\"uredi, J. C. Lagarias and F. Morgan [FLM]: Is there an upper bound polynomial in $n$ for the largest cardinality of a set S of unit vectors in an n-dimensional Minkowski space (or Banach space) such…
A celebrated theorem of Kleitman in extremal combinatorics states that a collection of binary vectors in $\{0, 1\}^n$ with diameter $d$ has cardinality at most that of a Hamming ball of radius $d/2$. In this paper, we give an algebraic…
An important classical result in ZFC asserts that every infinite cardinal number is idempotent. Using this fact, we obtain several algebraic results in this article. The first result asserts that an infinite Abelian group has a proper…
The paper contains two results pointing to the lack of symmetry between measure and category. Assume CH. There exists a strongly meager subset of the Cantor set that can be mapped onto the Cantor set by a uniformly continuous function. (It…
It was shown that in a group of bijections of an infinite set some families of subsets, related to the cardinality of some eigenspaces, are generating. Besides, we derived a criterion for generating by sets of this kind.
A Gross space is a vector space E of infinite dimension over some field F, which is endowed with a symmetric bilinear form Phi:E^2 -> F and has the property that every infinite dimensional subspace U subseteq E satisfies dim U^perp < dim E.…
The maximal dimension of commutative subspaces of $M_n(\mathbb{C})$ is known. So is the structure of such a subspace when the maximal dimension is achieved. We consider extensions of these results and ask the following natural questions: If…
In this paper we discuss some properties of completely irrational subspaces. We prove that there exist completely irrational subspaces that are badly approximable and, moreover, sets of such subspaces are winning in different senses. We get…
