The structure of the set of positivity-preserving maps between matrix algebras is notoriously difficult to describe. The notable exceptions are the results by St{\o}rmer and Woronowicz from 1960s and 1970s settling the low dimensional…
Inspired by the classical Riemannian systolic inequality of Gromov we present a combinatorial analogue providing a lower bound on the number of vertices of a simplicial complex in terms of its edge-path systole. Similarly to the Riemannian…
This report consists of two parts. The first part is a brief exposition of classical descriptive set theory. This part introduces some fundamental concepts, motivations and results from the classical theory and ends with a section on the…
One of the most famous results in Complex Analysis is the Little Picard Theorem, that characterizes the image set of an arbitrary entire function. Specifically, the theorem states that this image set is either the whole complex plane or the…
In a recent letter, new representations were proposed for the pair of sequences ($\gamma,\delta$), as defined formally by Bailey in his famous lemma. Here we extend and prove this result, providing pairs ($\gamma,\delta$) labelled by the…
In this note we consider a Ramsey type result for partially ordered sets. In particular, we give an alternative short proof of a theorem for a posets with multiple linear extensions recently obtained by Solecki and Zhao.
The original proof of the Sharkovsky theorem is presented in full detail. The proof should be accessible to readers with basic Real Analysis background. Although nowadays there are several alternative proofs of this classical result, we…
Remarkable progress has been made on automated reasoning with natural text, by using Language Models (LMs) and methods such as Chain-of-Thought and Selection-Inference. These techniques search for proofs in the forward direction from axioms…
In this article we define a minor relation, which is stronger than the classical one, but too strong to become a well-quasi-order on the class of finite graphs. Nevertheless, with this terminology we are able to introduce a conjecture,…
The main aim of this paper is to promote a certain style of doing coinductive proofs, similar to inductive proofs as commonly done by mathematicians. For this purpose, we provide a reasonably direct justification for coinductive proofs…
The first two authors of this paper asserted in Lemma 4 of "New Farkas-type constraint qualifications in convex infinite programming" (DOI: 10.1051/cocv:2007027) that a given reverse convex inequality is consequence of a given convex system…
We propose a categorical framework to reason about scientific explanations: descriptions of a phenomenon meant to translate it into simpler terms, or into a context that has been already understood. Our motivating examples come from systems…
Physics increasingly uses Bayesian techniques for systematic data analysis and model-to-data comparison. This paper describes how these methods can be implemented to answer questions of relevance to teaching laboratories. It demonstrates…
In 1986, Flagg and Friedman \cite{ff} gave an elegant alternative proof of the faithfulness of G\"{o}del (or Rasiowa-Sikorski) translation $(\cdot)^\Box$ of Heyting arithmetic $\bf HA$ to Shapiro's epistemic arithmetic $\bf EA$. In \S 2, we…
We present a formalization of convex polyhedra in the proof assistant Coq. The cornerstone of our work is a complete implementation of the simplex method, together with the proof of its correctness and termination. This allows us to define…
We establish a cutting lemma for definable families of sets in distal structures, as well as the optimality of the distal cell decomposition for definable families of sets on the plane in $o$-minimal expansions of fields. Using it, we…
We prove a general lemma about partitioning the vertex set of a graph into subgraphs of bounded degree. This lemma extends a sequence of results of Lov\'asz, Catlin, Kostochka and Rabern.
By addressing a long-standing open problem, listed in a highly regarded collection of open questions in the field and described as a "worthwhile research project", this note extends Markov's theorem (Markoff, Math. Ann., 27:177-182, 1886)…
This note is purely expository and is in Russian. We show how to prove interesting combinatorial results using the local Lovasz lemma. The note is accessible for students having basic knowledge of combinatorics; the notion of independence…
Working in any model theoretic structure, we single out a class of definable bipartite graphs that admit definable, close to perfect matchings. We use this result to prove a strengthening of Tarski's theorem for the definable setting.
