In recent years, much work in descriptive set theory has been focused on the Borel complexity of naturally occurring classification problems, in particular, the study of countable Borel equivalence relations and their structure under the…

We investigate the notion of strong measure zero sets in the context of the higher Cantor space $2^\kappa$ for $\kappa$ at least inaccessible. Using an iteration of perfect tree forcings, we give two proofs of the relative consistency of \[…

We disprove the sum-product conjecture for real numbers by constructing arbitrarily large $A\subset \mathbb{R}$ (whose elements are algebraic integers in a number field of degree $\asymp \log\lvert A\rvert$) such that \[\max(\lvert…

In this paper we shall show that there exists L_0 such that for each even integer L >= L_0 there exists $c_1 \in \rz$ for which the Julia set of $z --> z^L + c_1$ has positive Lebesgue measure. This solves an old problem. Editor's note: In…

In this note we prove several theorems that are related to some results and problems from [6]. We answer two of the main problems that were raised in [6]. First we give a ZFC example of a Hausdorff space in $C(\omega_1)$ that has…

A classical result of Arne Beurling states that the Fourier transform of a nonzero complex Borel measure $\mu$ on the real line cannot vanish on a set of positive Lebesgue measure if $\mu$ has certain decay. We prove a several variable…

This paper characterizes the maximum mean discrepancies (MMD) that metrize the weak convergence of probability measures for a wide class of kernels. More precisely, we prove that, on a locally compact, non-compact, Hausdorff space, the MMD…

In this note we present a ZFC construction of a non-meager filter which fails to be countable dense homogeneous. This answers a question of Hern\'andez-Guti\'errez and Hru\v{s}\'ak. The method of the proof also allows us to obtain a…

For a countable ordinal epsilon we construct a Sigma^0_2 subset of the Cantor space for which one may force aleph_epsilon translations with intersections of size 2i, but such that it has no perfect set of such translations in any ccc…

Let $\mathcal{S} = \{ \tau_n \}_{n=1}^\infty \subset (0,T)$ be an arbitrary countable (dense) set. We show that for any given initial density and momentum, the compressible Euler system admits (infinitely many) admissible weak solutions…

We prove that various arithmetic quotients of the unit ball in $\mathbb{C}^n$ are Mordellic, in the sense that they have only finitely many rational points over any finitely generated field extension of $\mathbb{Q}$. In the previously known…

Recently, the first two authors proved the Alon-Jaeger-Tarsi conjecture on non-vanishing linear maps, for large primes. We extend their ideas to address several other related conjectures. We prove the weak Additive Basis conjecture proposed…

We prove that in some cases definable thin sets (including chains) of Borel partial orderings are necessarily countably cofinal. This includes the following cases: analytic thin sets, ROD thin sets in the Solovay model, and $\Sigma^1_2$…

The spectral set conjecture, also known as the Fuglede conjecture, asserts that every bounded spectral set is a tile and vice versa. While this conjecture remains open on ${\mathbb R}^1$, there are many results in the literature that…

We prove that the existence of a Borel lower density operator (a Borel lifting) with respect to the $\sigma$-ideal of countable sets, for an uncountable Polish space, is equivalent to the Continuum Hypothesis.
