We study the Borel and analytic subsets of the spaces \({}^{\kappa}\kappa\) and \({}^{\kappa}2\) endowed with ideal topologies, where \(\kappa\) is a regular uncountable cardinal. We establish that the Borel hierarchy does not collapse in…
We discuss some new results concerning Gap Conjecture on group growth and present a reduction of it (and its *-version) to several special classes of groups. Namely we show that its validity for the classes of simple groups and residually…
In this paper we extend previous studies of selection principles for families of open covers of sets of real numbers to also include families of countable Borel covers. The main results of the paper could be summarized as follows: 1. Some…
In this paper we give a generalization of the main results in \cite{ab,ab1} about $b$-ary expansions of algebraic numbers. As a byproduct we get a large class of new transcendence criteria. One of our corollaries implies that $b$-ary…
We prove special cases of a general conjecture: If an invertible field theory admits a projectively topological boundary theory, then it has finite order in the abelian group of invertible field theories. One can substitute `gapped' for…
We show that the Dual Borel Conjecture implies that ${\mathfrak d}> \aleph_1$ and find some topological characterizations of perfectly meager and universally meager sets.
Improving a result of Woodin, we identify some classes of individually consistent but mutually inconsistent generic large cardinal axioms.
We prove the consistency of the failure of the singular cardinals hypothesis at $\aleph_\omega$ together with the reflection of all stationary subsets of $\aleph_{\omega+1}$. This shows that two classic results of Magidor (from 1977 and…
A conjecture of Mordell states that if $p$ is a prime and $p$ is congruent to $3$ mod $4$, then $p$ does not divide $y$ where $(x,y)$ is the fundamental solution to $x^{2}-py^{2}=1$. The conjecture has been verified for primes not exceeding…
We introduce combinatorial principles that characterize strong compactness and supercompactness for inaccessible cardinals but also make sense for successor cardinals. Their consistency is established from what is supposedly optimal.…
We review the Burghelea conjecture, which constitutes a full computation of the periodic cyclic homology of complex group rings, and its relation to the algebraic Baum-Connes conjecture. The Burghelea conjecture implies the Bass conjecture.…
We prove that, consistently, there exists a weakly but not strongly inaccessible cardinal $\lambda$ for which the sequence $\langle 2^\theta:\theta<\lambda\rangle$ is not eventually constant and the weak diamond fails at $\lambda$. We also…
We start by giving a survey to the theory of Borel*(\kappa) sets in the generalized Baire space Baire({\kappa}) = {\kappa}^{\kappa}. In particular we look at the relation of this complexity class to other complexity classes which we denote…
This is a slightly corrected version of an old work. For a cardinal $\mu$ we give a sufficient condition $\oplus_\mu$ (involving ranks measuring existence of independent sets) for: $\otimes_\mu$ if a Borel set $B\subseteq \mathbb{R} \times…
Let $\Gamma$ be a countable group. A classical theorem of Thorisson states that if $X$ is a standard Borel $\Gamma$-space and $\mu$ and $\nu$ are Borel probability measures on $X$ which agree on every $\Gamma$-invariant subset, then $\mu$…
We prove that the $abc$-Conjecture implies upper bounds on Zsigmondy sets that are uniform over families of unicritical polynomials over number fields. As an application, we use the $abc$-Conjecture to prove that there exist uniform bounds…
This is the first of three articles on the Fibered Isomorphism Conjecture of Farrell and Jones for L-theory. We apply the general techniques developed in [15] and [16] to the L-theory case of the conjecture and prove several results. Here…
Let $A$ be an abelian variety over a field finitely generated over $\mathbb{Q}$. We show that the finiteness of the $\ell$-primary torsion subgroup of the higher Brauer group is a sufficient criterion for the Tate conjecture to hold.…
In the representation theory of finite groups, there is a well-known and important conjecture due to M. Brou\'e. He conjectures that, for any prime p, if a p-block A of a finite group G has an abelian defect group P, then A and its Brauer…
We investigate when Isomorphism Conjectures, such as the ones due to Baum-Connes, Bost and Farrell-Jones, are stable under colimits of groups over directed sets (with not necessarily injective structure maps). We show in particular that…
