The forcing method is a powerful tool to prove the consistency of set-theoretic assertions relative to the consistency of the axioms of set theory. Laver's theorem and Bukovsk\'y's theorem assert that set-generic extensions of a given…
It is a classical result, due to F. Tricceri, that the blow-up of a manifold of locally conformally K\"ahler (l.c.K. for short) type at some point is again of l.c.K. type. However, the proof given in \cite{Tric} is somehow unclear. We give…
We combine here Tao's slice-rank bounding method and Gr\"obner basis techniques and apply here to the Erd\H{o}s-Rado Sunflower Conjecture. Let $\frac{3k}{2}\leq n\leq 3k$ be integers. We prove that if $\mbox{$\cal F$}$ be a $k$-uniform…
We give a combinatorial proof of the skew Kostka analogue of the K-saturation theorem. More precisely, for any positive integer k, we give an explicit injection from the set of skew semistandard Young tableaux with skew shape…
A family $\mathcal{F}$ of subsets of $[n]=\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ shatters a set $A \subseteq [n]$ if for every $A' \subseteq A$ there is an $F \in \mathcal{F}$ such that $F \cap A=A'$. We develop a framework to analyze $f(n,k,d)$, the maximum…
A family $\{A_{0},\ldots,A_{d}\}$ of $k$-element subsets of $[n]=\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ is called a simplex-cluster if $A_{0}\cap\cdots\cap A_{d}=\varnothing$, $|A_{0}\cup\cdots\cup A_{d}|\le2k$, and the intersection of any $d$ of the sets in…
Let $S_{n}$ denote the set of permutations of $[n]=\{1,2,\dots, n\}$. For each integer $k\geq 1$, let $S_{n,k}$ be the set of all permutations of $[n]$ with exactly $k$ disjoint cycles. A subset $H\subseteq S_{n,k}$ is to be a matching if…
A family of sets is union-closed (UC) if the union of any two sets in the family is also in the family. Frankl's UC sets conjecture states that for any nonempty UC family $\mathcal{F} \subseteq 2^{[n]}$ such that $\mathcal{F} \neq…
A conjecture of Freiman gives an exact formula for the largest volume of a finite set $A$ of integers with given cardinality $k = |A|$ and doubling $T = |2A|$. The formula is known to hold when $T \le 3k-4$, for some small range over $3k-4$…
A $k$-uniform, $d$-regular instance of Exact Cover is a family of $m$ sets $F_{n,d,k} = \{ S_j \subseteq \{1,...,n\} \}$, where each subset has size $k$ and each $1 \le i \le n$ is contained in $d$ of the $S_j$. It is satisfiable if there…
We show that with high probability a random set of size $\Theta(n^{1-1/k})$ of $\{1,...,n\}$ contains two elements $a$ and $a+d^k$, where $d$ is a positive integer. As a consequence, we prove an analogue of S\'ark\"ozy-F\"urstenberg's…
We prove a sufficient condition for the existence of a $T$-periodic solution for the planar system $\dot z=F(t,z)$, characterized by the growth to infinity of the rotations made in one period by solutions starting at increasingly large…
A Steiner triple system is a set $S$ together with a collection $\mathcal{B}$ of subsets of $S$ of size 3 such that any two elements of $S$ belong to exactly one element of $\mathcal{B}$. It is well known that the class of finite Steiner…
In this paper, we first establish the local well-posednesss of a Two-Component b-Family equations in nonhomogeneous Besov spaces $B^{1+\frac 1 p}_{p,1}$ with $1\leq p<+\infty.$ Then we present a new blow-up result for the Two-Component…
The Bollob\'as set pairs inequality is a fundamental result in extremal set theory with many applications. In this paper, for $n \geq k \geq t \geq 2$, we consider a collection of $k$ families $\mathcal{A}_i: 1 \leq i \leq k$ where…
We prove a gluing formula for Seiberg--Witten invariants which describes in particular the behaviour of the invariant under blow-up and rational blow-down.
Given a natural number $k\ge 2$ and a $k$-automatic set $S$ of natural numbers, we show that the lower density and upper density of $S$ are recursively computable rational numbers and we provide an algorithm for computing these quantities.…
An $r$-sunflower is a collection of $r$ sets such that the intersection of any two sets in the collection is identical. We analyze a random process which constructs a $w$-uniform $r$-sunflower free family starting with an empty family and…
For two families $\mathcal{A}, \mathcal{B} \subseteq \mathcal{P}([k])$, we write $\mathcal{A}\vdash\mathcal{B}$ if $A\not\supseteq B$ for each two sets $A \in \mathcal{A}$ and $B \in \mathcal{B}$. $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ are called…
We study the possibility of non-simultaneous blow-up for positive solutions of a coupled system of two semilinear equations, $u_t = J*u-u+ u^\alpha v^p$, $v_t =\Delta v^+u^qv^\beta$, $p, q, \alpha, \beta>0$ with homogeneous Dirichlet…
