We develop a new technique for proving cell-probe lower bounds on dynamic data structures. This technique enables us to prove an amortized randomized Omega(lg n) lower bound per operation for several data structural problems on n elements,…
We prove that if $T$ is an $\omega$-categorical supersimple theory with nontrivial dependence (given by forking), then there is a nontrivial regular 1-type over a finite set of reals which is realized by real elements; hence forking induces…
We look for a parallel to the notion of ``proper forcing'' among lambda-complete forcing notions not collapsing lambda^+ . We suggest such a definition and prove that it is preserved by suitable iterations.
In this paper we analyze the relationship between o-minimal structures and the notion of \omega -saturated one dimensional t.t.t structures. We prove that if removing any point from such a structure splits it into more than one definably…
We bring forward a logical system of transition algebras that enhances many-sorted first-order logic using features from dynamic logics. The sentences we consider include compositions, unions, and transitive closures of transition…
Let $\mathcal M=\langle M, <, +, \dots\rangle$ be an o-minimal expansion of an ordered group, and $P\subseteq M$ a dense set such that certain tameness conditions hold. We introduce the notion of a `product cone' in $\widetilde{\mathcal…
The central result of this paper is the small-is-very-small principle for restricted sequential theories. The principle says roughly that whenever the given theory shows that a property has a small witness, i.e. a witness in every definable…
We introduce bounded category forcing axioms for well-behaved classes $\Gamma$. These are strong forms of bounded forcing axioms which completely decide the theory of some initial segment of the universe $H_{\lambda_\Gamma^+}$ modulo…
A supersymmetric inflationary stage dominated by an $F$-term has the problem that the flatness of the potential is spoiled by supergravity corrections, that is the slow-roll parameter $\eta$ gets contributions of order unity. We show that…
Consider the eigenvalues $\lambda_i(M_n)$ (in increasing order) of a random Hermitian matrix $M_n$ whose upper-triangular entries are independent with mean zero and variance one, and are exponentially decaying. By Wigner's semicircular law,…
We consider the one-dimensional Perona-Malik functional, that is the energy associated to the celebrated forward-backward equation introduced by P. Perona and J. Malik in the context of image processing, with the addition of a forcing term.…
We use ``iterated square sequences'' to show: There is an L-definable partition n: L-singulars --> omega such that if M is an inner model without 0#: (a) For some n, M satisfies that {alpha | n(alpha)=n} is stationary. (b) For each n there…
We prove that any countable support iteration formed with posets with $\omega_2$-p.i.c.\ has $\omega_2$-c.c., assuming CH in the ground model and assuming also that $\omega_1$ is not collapsed. This improves earlier results of Shelah by…
We prove that, for an undirected graph with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, each labeled with a linear function of a parameter $\lambda$, the number of different minimum spanning trees obtained as the parameter varies can be $\Omega(m\log n)$.
In this note we will discuss a new reflection principle which follows from the Proper Forcing Axiom. The immediate purpose will be to prove that the bounded form of the Proper Forcing Axiom implies both that 2^omega = omega_2 and that…
In \cite{MV} we defined and proved the consistency of the principle ${\rm GM}^+(\omega_3,\omega_1)$ which implies that many consequences of strong forcing axioms hold simultaneously at $\omega_2$ and $\omega_3$. In this paper we formulate a…
We consider strictly increasing sequences $\left(a_{n}\right)_{n \geq 1}$ of integers and sequences of fractional parts $\left(\left\{a_{n} \alpha\right\}\right)_{n \geq 1}$ where $\alpha \in \mathbb{R}$. We show that a small additive…
We develop the notion of higher Cheeger constants for a measurable set $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$. By the $k$-th Cheeger constant we mean the value \[h_k(\Omega) = \inf \max \{h_1(E_1), \dots, h_1(E_k)\},\] where the infimum is taken…
It is known that for a monomial ideal $I$, the number of minimal generators, $\mu(I^n)$, eventually follows a polynomial pattern for increasing $n$. In general, little is known about the power at which this pattern emerges. Even less is…
We prove that if Q is a nw-nep forcing then it cannot add a dominating real. We also prove that Amoeba forcing cannot be P(X)/I if I is an aleph_1-complete ideal.
