We prove that if $\lambda$ is a fixed uncountable cardinal and $f = \langle \ka_{\al} : \al < \delta \rangle$ is a sequence of infinite cardinals where $\delta < \omega_3$ and $\ka_{\al}\in \{\om,\lambda\}$ for each $\al < \delta$ in such a…

It is consistent with any possible value of the continuum $\mathfrak{c}$ that every infinite-dimensional Banach space of density $\leq \mathfrak{c}$ condenses onto the Hilbert cube. Let $\mu$ be a cardinal of uncountable cofinality. It is…

Let $G$ be an infinite locally compact group and $\aleph$ a cardinal satisfying $\aleph_0\le\aleph\le w(G)$ for the weight $w(G)$ of $G$. It is shown that there is a closed subgroup $N$ of $G$ with $w(N)=\aleph$. Sample consequences are:…

We introduce the notion of a critical cardinal as the critical point of sufficiently strong elementary embedding between transitive sets. Assuming the axiom of choice this is equivalent to measurability, but it is well-known that choice is…

We show that every group $H$ of at most exponential growth with respect to some left invariant metric admits a bi-Lipschitz embedding into a finitely generated group $G$ such that $G$ is amenable (respectively, solvable, satisfies a…

We discuss some well-known compactness principles for uncountable structures of small regular sizes ($\omega_n$ for $2 \le n<\omega$, $\aleph_{\omega+1}$, $\aleph_{\omega^2+1}$, etc.), consistent from weakly compact (the size-restricted…

The concordance crosscap number $\gamma_c(K)$ of a knot $K$ is the smallest crosscap number $\gamma_3(K')$ of any knot $K'$ concordant to $K$ (and with $\gamma_3(K')$ defined as the least first Betti number of any nonorientable surface…

We study weak amenability for locally compact quantum groups in the sense of Kustermans and Vaes. In particular, we focus on non-discrete examples. We prove that a coamenable quantum group is weakly amenable if there exists a net of…

We show that any compact subset of $\R^d$ which is the closure of a bounded star-shaped Lipschitz domain $\Omega$, such that $\complement \Omega$ has positive reach in the sense of Federer, admits an \emph{optimal AM} (admissible mesh),…

A topological space $Y$ is said to have (AEEP) if the following condition is fulfilled. Whenever $(X,\mathfrak{M})$ is a measurable space and $f, g: X \to Y$ are two measurable functions, then the set $\Delta(f,g) = \{x \in X:\ f(x) =…

We consider a complete biharmonic immersed submanifold $M$ in an Euclidean space $\mathbb{E}^N$. Assume that the immersion is proper, that is, the preimage of every compact set in $\mathbb{E}^N$ is also compact in $M$. Then, we prove that…

We present a short and clear proof of the following particular case of a 2006 result of Melikhov-Schepin: Let $K$ be a $k$-dimensional simplicial complex and $K*[3]$ the union of three cones over $K$ along their common bases. If $2d\ge3k+3$…

In a classical paper by Ben-David and Magidor, a model of set theory was exhibited in which $\aleph_{\omega+1}$ carries a uniform ultrafilter that is $\theta$-indecomposable for every uncountable cardinal $\theta<\aleph_\omega$. In this…

For $1\le t < \infty$, a compact subset $K\subset\mathbb C$, and a finite positive measure $\mu$ supported on $K$, $R^t(K, \mu)$ denotes the closure in $L^t(\mu)$ of rational functions with poles off $K$. Conway and Yang (2019) introduced…

The partition number $\pi(K)$ of a simplicial complex $K\subset 2^{[m]}$ is the minimum integer $\nu$ such that for each partition $A_1\uplus\ldots\uplus A_\nu = [m]$ of $[m]$ at least one of the sets $A_i$ is in $K$. A complex $K$ is…

Extending a result of R. de la Vega, we prove that an infinite homogeneous compactum has cardinality $\mathfrak{c}$ if either it is the union of countably many dense or finitely many arbitrary countably tight subspaces. The question if…

Let $\Sigma_1,\ldots,\Sigma_k$ be finite alphabets, and let $\mu$ be a distribution over $\Sigma_1 \times \dots \times \Sigma_k$ in which the probability of each atom is at least $\alpha$. We prove that if $\mu$ does not admit Abelian…

We prove the consistency of: for suitable strongly inaccessible cardinal lambda the dominating number, i.e., the cofinality of ^{lambda}lambda, is strictly bigger than cov_lambda(meagre), i.e. the minimal number of nowhere dense subsets of…

Finiteness conditions for $C^*$-algebras like AF-embeddability, quasidiagonality, stable finiteness have been studied by many authors and shown to be equivalent for certain classes of $C^*$-algebras. For example, Schfhauser proves that…

We continue our study of the Widom factors for $L_p(\mu)$ extremal polynomials initiated in [4]. In this work we characterize sets for which the lower bounds obtained in [4] are saturated, establish continuity of the Widom factors with…
