In this paper, we consider the problem of making skeptical inferences for the multi-label ranking problem. We assume that our uncertainty is described by a convex set of probabilities (i.e. a credal set), defined over the set of labels.…

Classification is an important goal in many branches of mathematics. The idea is to describe the members of some class of mathematical objects, up to isomorphism or other important equivalence in terms of relatively simple invariants. Where…

We study the Borel-reducibility of isomorphism relations of complete first order theories and show the consistency of the following: For all such theories T and T', if T is classifiable and T' is not, then the isomorphism of models of T' is…

We introduce a reducibility on classes of structures, essentially a uniform enumeration reducibility. This reducibility is inspired by the Friedman-Stanley paper on using Borel reductions to compare classes of countable structures. This…

We prove several improved versions of the Borel-Ritt theorem about the surjectivity of the asymptotic Borel mapping in classes of functions with $\boldsymbol{M}$-uniform asymptotic expansion on an unbounded sector of the Riemann surface of…

Higher order set theory has been a topic of interest for some time, with recent efforts focused on the strength of second order set theories [KW16]. In this paper we strive to present one 'theory of collections' that allows for a formal…

We answer one of the main questions in generalized descriptive set theory, the Friedman-Hyttinen-Kulikov conjecture on the Borel reducibility of the Main Gap. We show a correlation between Shelah's Main Gap and generalized Borel…

We study the coarse classification of partial orderings using chain conditions in the context of descriptive combinatorics. We show that (unlike the Borel counterpart of many other combinatorics), we have a distinct hierarchy of different…

We give a descriptive construction of trees for multi-ended graphs, which yields yet another proof of Stallings' theorem on ends of groups. Even though our proof is, in principle, not very different from already existing proofs and it draws…

Generalizing a theorem of Campercholi, we characterize, in syntactic terms, the ranges of epimorphisms in an arbitrary class of similar first-order structures (as opposed to an elementary class). This allows us to strengthen a result of…

We discuss the Borel Tukey ordering on cardinal invariants of the continuum. We observe that this ordering makes sense for a larger class of cardinals than has previously been considered. We then provide a Borel version of a large portion…

We introduce and axiomatize the notion of a reflective cardinal, use it to give semantics to higher order set theory, and explore connections between the notion of reflective cardinals and large cardinal axioms.

Contrastive representation learning (CRL) underpins many modern foundation models. Despite recent theoretical progress, existing analyses suffer from several key limitations: (i) the statistical consistency of CRL remains poorly understood;…

We establish the Borel computability of various C$^*$-algebra invariants, including the Elliott invariant and the Cuntz semigroup. As applications we deduce that AF algebras are classifiable by countable structures, and that a conjecture of…

This is a survey on the ongoing development of a descriptive theory of represented spaces, which is intended as an extension of both classical and effective descriptive set theory to deal with both sets and functions between represented…
