Given a (di)graph $H$, we say that a (di)graph $H^\prime$ is an $H$-subdivision if $H^\prime$ is obtained from $H$ by replacing one or more edges with internally vertex-disjoint path(s). Pavez-Sign\'{e} conjectured that for every…
We consider quasiconformal deformations of $\mathbb{C}\setminus\mathbb{Z}$. We give some criteria for infinitely often punctured planes to be quasiconformally equivalent to $\mathbb{C}\setminus\mathbb{Z}$. In particular, we characterize the…
For a $C^{r}$ $(r>1)$ diffeomorphism on a compact manifold that admits a dominated splitting, this paper establishes the upper semi-continuity of the entropy map. More precisely, this paper establishes the upper semi-continuity of the…
We consider pinching cocycles taking values in the space of homeomorphisms of the circle over an hyperbolic base. Using the Invariance Principle of Malicet, we prove that the cocycles having non-zero exponents of contraction are dense. In…
A space $X$ is M-separable (selectively separable) (Scheepers, 1999; Bella et al., 2009) if for every sequence $(Y_n)$ of dense subspaces of $X$ there exists a sequence $(F_n)$ such that for each $n$ $F_n$ is a finite subset of $Y_n$ and…
We define a family of a (non-principal) ultrafilters on N which are, in a sense, far from P-points. We first under reasonable conditions, prove its existence. In a continuation we shall prove that such a point may exist while no P-point…
Answering a question of P. Bankston, we show that the pseudoarc is a co-existentially closed continuum. We also show that $C(X)$, for $X$ a nondegenerate continuum, can never have quantifier elimination, answering a question of the the…
We prove that for any infinite-dimensional quantum channel the entropic disturbance (defined as difference between the $\chi$-quantity of a generalized ensemble and that of the image of the ensemble under the channel) is lower…
For a function $f\colon [0,1]\to\mathbb R$, we consider the set $E(f)$ of points at which $f$ cuts the real axis. Given $f\colon [0,1]\to\mathbb R$ and a Cantor set $D\subset [0,1]$ with $\{0,1\}\subset D$, we obtain conditions equivalent…
Let $X$ be an unbounded metric space, $B(x,r) = \{y\in X: d(x,y) \leqslant r\}$ for all $x\in X$ and $r\geqslant 0$. We endow $X$ with the discrete topology and identify the Stone-\v{C}ech compactification $\beta X$ of $X$ with the set of…
A unified construction of canonical $H^m$-nonconforming finite elements is developed for $n$-dimensional simplices for any $m, n \geq 1$. Consistency with the Morley-Wang-Xu elements [Math. Comp. 82 (2013), pp. 25-43] is maintained when $m…
We isolate a new class of ultrafilters on N, called "quasi-selective" because they are intermediate between selective ultrafilters and P-points. (Under the Continuum Hypothesis these three classes are distinct.) The existence of…
In this article, we consider the notion of almost irredundant sets: A subset $\mathcal{X}$ of a C*-algebra $\mathcal{A}$ is called almost irredundant if and only if for every $a\in \mathcal{X}$, the element $a$ does not belong to the…
Let a real Lie group $G$ have a $C^\infty$ action on a real manifold $M$. Assume every nontrivial element of $G$ has nowhere dense fixpoint set in $M$. First, we show, in every frame bundle, except possibly the $0$th, that each stabilizer…
We show a number of undecidable assertions concerning countably compact spaces hold under PFA(S)[S]. We also show the consistency without large cardinals of "every locally compact, perfectly normal space is paracompact".
For classical Hamiltonian N-body systems with mildly regular pair interaction potential it is shown that when N tends to infinity in a fixed bounded domain, with energy E scaling quadratically in N proportional to e, then Boltzmann's…
In this article, we study the structure of the difference set $E - E$ for subsets $E \subseteq \mathbb{Z}^2$ of positive upper Banach density. Fish asked in [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 146 (2018), 3449-3453] whether, for every such set $E$,…
We show that it is consistent that the continuum is as large as you wish, and for each uncountable cardinal $\kappa$ below the continuum, there are a subset $T$ of the reals and a family $A$ of countable subsets of $T$ such that (1) both…
This paper is concerned with conditions under which a metric continuum (a compact connected metric space) contains a non-degenerate chainable continuum.
A metric space $\mathbf{X}$ is called densely complete if there exists a dense set $D$ in $\mathbf{X}$ such that every Cauchy sequence of points of $D $ converges in $\mathbf{X}$. One of the main aims of this work is to prove that the…
