In this paper, we revisit the problem of classifying real algebraic and semialgebraic sets by their topological types, focusing on establishing the effectiveness of bounds rather than deriving new quantitative estimates. Building on Hardt's…
We investigate sumset decompositions of quite general sets with restricted prime factors. We manage to handle certain sets, such as the smooth numbers, even though they have little sieve amenability, and conclude that these sets cannot be…
'Skolem arithmetic' is the complete theory $T$ of the multiplicative monoid $(\mathbb{N},\cdot)$. We give a full characterization of the $\varnothing$-definable stably embedded sets of $T$, showing in particular that, up to the relation of…
Let $A_1$ and $A_2$ be randomly chosen subsets of the first $n$ integers of cardinalities $s_2\geq s_1 = \Omega(s_2)$, such that their sumset $A_1+A_2$ has size $m$. We show that asymptotically almost surely $A_1$ and $A_2$ are almost fully…
The main result of this paper is a probabilistic construction of finite rigid structures. It yields a finitely axiomatizable class of finite rigid structures where no L^omega_{infty, omega} formula with counting quantifiers defines a linear…
We develop a novel formal theory of finite structures, based on a view of finite structures as a fundamental artifact of computing and programming, forming a common platform for computing both within particular finite structures, and in the…
We consider partially ordered sets of combinatorial structures under consecutive orders, meaning that two structures are related when one embeds in the other such that `consecutive' elements remain consecutive in the image. Given such a…
Sharpening (a particular case of) a result of Szemeredi and Vu and extending earlier results of Sarkozy and ourselves, we find, subject to some technical restrictions, a sharp threshold for the number of integer sets needed for their sumset…
We show that if a countable structure $M$ in a finite relational language is not cellular, then there is an age-preserving $N \supseteq M$ such that $2^{\aleph_0}$ many structures are bi-embeddable with $N$. The proof proceeds by a case…
We construct a weakly compact convex subset of $\ell^2$ with nonempty interior that has an isolated maximal element, with respect to the lattice order $\ell _+^2$. Moreover, the maximal point cannot be supported by any strictly positive…
Suppose that P is an infinite set of primes such that P = A + B + C, where A,B,C are sets with at least two elements. We show that if P(x) > c x/log^d x (where P(x) = the number of elements of P that are <= x), and if A,B,C is a "regular"…
We say the sets of nonnegative integers A and B are additive complements if their sum contains all sufficiently large integers. In this paper we prove a conjecture of Chen and Fang about additive complement of a finite set.
We give a new proof of the NIP arithmetic regularity lemma for finite groups (due to the authors and Pillay), which describes the approximate structure of "NIP sets" in finite groups, i.e., subsets whose collection of left translates has…
It was shown by V. Bergelson that any set B with positive upper multiplicative density contains nicely intertwined arithmetic and geometric progressions: For each positive integer k there exist integers a,b,d such that $ {b(a+id)^j:i,j…
In the paper "An Abelian Loop for Non-Composites" (arXiv:110.14716), we introduced a group-like structure consisting of odd prime numbers and 1, with properties that allowed us to prove analogous results to well known theorems in Number…
We study uncountable structures similar to the Fra\"iss\'e limits. The standard inductive arguments from the Fra\"iss\'e theory are replaced by forcing, so the structures we obtain are highly sensitive to the universe of set theory. In…
Let K be a field of characteristic zero. Motivated by the conjecture that an enveloping algebra U(g) is Noetherian only if g is finite dimensional, we define the notion of weakly Noetherian Lie algebras. The main result, Theorem A, states…
It is shown the construction of a module structure [2] with universe over a set of a particular kind of mathematical proofs, the base ring of this module will be built on a maximal consistent extension of a set of propositions, this…
If $A$ and $B$ are two bounded sets of reals, Ruzsa proved a precise lower bound of the measure of the sumset $A+B$ involving the ratio $\lambda(A)/\lambda(B)$. De Roton established a structural result about the critical sets of this lower…
A class of nets in constructive (in A.A.Markov's sense) topological space for which the convergence is equivalent to convergence of all subsequences, is described. B.A.Kushner's theorem about coincidence of strong and weak constructive…
