Let $Y$ be a compact metric space, $G$ be a group acting by transformations on $Y$. For any infinite subset $A\subset Y$, we study the density of $gA$ for $g\in G$ and quantitative density of the set $\displaystyle{\bigcup_{g\in G_n}gA}$ by…
We construct a rank one infinite measure preserving transformation $T$ such that for all sequences of nonzero integers $\{k_{1},..., k_{r}\}$, $T^{k_{1}}\times...\times T^{k_{r}}$ is ergodic.
We present a number of results concerning infinite-exponent partition relations on linear orders of the form $\langle {}^\alpha 2,<_{\text{lex}}\rangle$ for $\alpha$ an ordinal, generalising the setting of the real line, working throughout…
A theorem of Ku\v{c}era states that given a Martin-L\"of random infinite binary sequence {\omega} and an effectively open set A of measure less than 1, some tail of {\omega} is not in A. We first prove several results in the same spirit and…
Given a prime $p$, a number field $\K$ and a finite set of places $S$ of $\K$, let $\K_S$ be the maximal pro-$p$ extension of $\K$ unramified outside $S$. Using the Golod-Shafarevich criterion one can often show that $\K_S/\K$ is infinite.…
Let $G/\Gamma$ be the quotient of a semisimple Lie group by an arithmetic lattice. We show that for reductive subgroups $H$ of $G$ that is large enough, the orbits of $H$ on $G/\Gamma$ intersect nontrivially with a fixed compact set. As a…
$\newcommand{\ACz}{\mathbf{AC}^0}$ H\r{a}stad showed that any De Morgan formula (composed of AND, OR and NOT gates) shrinks by a factor of $\tilde{O}(p^{2})$ under a random restriction that leaves each variable alive independently with…
We show that Ramsey theory, a domain presently conceived to guarantee the existence of large homogeneous sets for partitions on k-tuples of words (for every natural number k) over a finite alphabet, can be extended to one for partitions on…
We study the reverse mathematics of pigeonhole principles for finite powers of the ordinal $\omega$. Four natural formulations are presented and their relative strengths are compared. In the analysis of the pigeonhole principle for…
Given a countable graph, we say a set $A$ of its vertices is \emph{universal} if it contains every countable graph as an induced subgraph, and $A$ is \emph{weakly universal} if it contains every finite graph as an induced subgraph. We show…
\textit{Let $E$ be an infinite set on which a property $(\bf P)$ is defined. Suppose that $E=\cup_{i\in I} E_i$ is a partition, where each $E_i$ is infinite. Suppose also that, in each $E_i$, the number of elements satisfying $(\bf P)$ is…
Let $\mathcal{L}$ be a positive line bundle over a Riemann surface $\Sigma$ defined over $\mathbb{R}$. We prove that sections $s$ of $\mathcal{L}^d$, $d\gg 0$, whose number of real zeros $\#Z_s$ deviates from the expected one are rare. We…
For any $n<\omega$ we construct an infinite Heyting algebra $H_n$ which is $(n+1)$-generated but that contains only finite $n$-generated subalgebras. From this we conclude that for every $n<\omega$ there exists a variety of Heyting algebras…
We derive asymptotic formulas for the number of integer partitions with given sums of $j$th powers of the parts for $j$ belonging to a finite, non-empty set $J \subset \mathbb N$. The method we use is based on the `principle of maximum…
It is proved that there exists an (omega-1,omega-1) Souslin gap in the Boolean algebra (L(nu)/Fin,subseteq^*_ae) for every nonseparable measure nu. Thus a Souslin, also known as destructible, (omega-1,omega-1) gap in P(N)/Fin can always be…
Odifreddi asked whether every non-irreducible many-one degree must contain an infinite antichain of one-one degrees. Positive answers are known for computably enumerable many-one degrees (Degtev) and, more recently, for many-one degrees…
We show that for any infinite set $A$ in ${\mathbb R}$, there exists a compact set $E \subseteq \mathbb{R}$ of positive Lebesgue measure that does not contain any non-trivial affine copy of $A$. This proves the Erd\"os similarity…
Ramsey's theorem states that for all finite colorings of an infinite set, there exists an infinite homogeneous subset. What if we seek a homogeneous subset that is also order-equivalent to the original set? Let $S$ be a linearly ordered set…
We show that there exists a positive arithmetical formula $\psi(x,R)$, where $x \in \omega$, $R \subseteq \omega$, with no hyperarithmetical fixed point. This answers a question of Gerhard J\"{a}ger. As corollaries we obtain results on the…
A function is boundedly finite-to-one if there is a natural number $k$ such that each point has at most $k$ inverse images. In this paper, we prove in $\mathsf{ZF}$ (i.e., the Zermelo--Fraenkel set theory without the axiom of choice)…
