We show that the patterns in the Abelian sandpile are stable. The proof combines the structure theory for the patterns with the regularity machinery for non-divergence form elliptic equations. The stability results allows one to improve…

Let $A=\{a_1,a_2,\dots, a_m\}$ be a subset of a finite abelian group $G$. We call $A$ {\it $t$-independent} in $G$, if whenever $$\lambda_1a_1+\lambda_2a_2+\cdots +\lambda_m a_m=0$$ for some integers $\lambda_1, \lambda_2, \dots ,…

This paper is concerned with extensions of geometric stability theory to some nonelementary classes. We prove the following theorem: Theorem: Let C be a large homogeneous model of a stable diagram D. Let p, q in S_D(A), where p is…

Associated to every group with a weak spherical Tits system of rank n+1 with an appropriate rank n subgroup, we construct a relative spectral sequence involving group homology of Levi subgroups of both groups. Using the fact that such Levi…

The purpose of this paper is to give a sufficient condition for (strong) stability of non-proper smooth functions (with respect to the Whitney $C^\infty$-topology). We show that a Morse function is stable if it is end-trivial at any point…

The word stable is used to describe a situation when mathematical objects that almost satisfy an equation are close to objects satisfying it exactly. We study operator-algebraic forms of stability for unitary representations of groups and…

We define here an analogue, for a semi-stable group scheme whose generic fiber is an abelian variety, of M. J. Taylor's class-invariant homomorphism (defined for abelian schemes), and we give a geometric description of it. Then we extend a…

For an $\aleph_1$-categorical atomic class, we clarify the space of types over the unique model of size $\aleph_1$. Using these results, we prove that if such a class has a model of size $\beth_1^+$ then it is $\omega$-stable.

We prove that the product of a subset and a normal subset inside any finite simple non-abelian group $G$ grows rapidly. More precisely, if $A$ and $B$ are two subsets with $B$ normal and neither of them is too large inside $G$, then $|AB|…

Given a set $A\subseteq\mathbb{N}$, we consider the relationship between stability of the structure $(\mathbb{Z},+,0,A)$ and sparsity of the set $A$. We first show that a strong enough sparsity assumption on $A$ yields stability of…

Let $X$ be a non-singular irreducible complex projective curve of genus $g\geq 2$. We use $(t,\ell)$-stability to prove the existence of coherent systems over $X$ that are $\alpha$-stable for all allowed $\alpha >0$.

A commutative ring $R$ is stable provided every ideal of $R$ containing a nonzerodivisor is projective as a module over its ring of endomorphisms. The class of stable rings includes the one-dimensional local Cohen-Macaulay rings of…

We investigate when an ordered abelian group $G$ is stably embedded in a given elementary extension $H$. We focus on a large class of ordered groups which includes maximal ordered groups with interpretable archimedean valuation. We give a…

A measure-preserving action of a discrete countable group on a standard probability space is called stable if the associated equivalence relation is isomorphic to its direct product with the ergodic hyperfinite equivalence relation of type…

A ring element $\,a\in R\,$ is said to be of {\it right stable range one\/} if, for any $\,t\in R$, $\,aR+tR=R\,$ implies that $\,a+t\,b\,$ is a unit in $\,R\,$ for some $\,b\in R$. Similarly, $\,a\in R\,$ is said to be of {\it left stable…

We discuss a statistical variant of Ruzsa's covering lemma and use it to show that if G is an Abelian group of bounded exponent and A in G has |A+A| < K|A| then the subgroup generated by A has size at most exp(O(K log^22K))|A|, where the…

We prove a myriad of results related to the stabilizer in an algebraic group $G$ of a generic vector in a representation $V$ of $G$ over an algebraically closed field $k$. Our results are on the level of group schemes, which carries more…

We show that a non-empty subset of an abelian group with a small edge boundary must be large; in particular, if $A$ and $S$ are finite, non-empty subsets of an abelian group such that $S$ is independent, and the edge boundary of $A$ with…

When a unital \ca $A$ has topological stable rank one (write $\tsr(A) = 1$), we know that $\tsr(pAp) \leq 1$ for a non-zero projection $p \in A$. When, however, $\tsr(A) \geq 2$, it is generally faluse. We prove that if a unital C*-algebra…

We revisit the classical instability of closed strings in the Abelian Higgs model. The instability is expressed by a vanishing energy as the torus-like configuration shrinks to zero size. We treat the radius of the torus as a collective…
