Every absolutely summing linear operator is weakly compact. However, for strongly summing multilinear operators and polynomials - one of the most natural extensions of the linear case to the non linear framework - weak compactness does not…
Assuming the existence of a strong cardinal $\kappa$, a weakly compact cardinal $\lambda$ above it and $\gamma > \lambda,$ we force a generic extension in which $\kappa$ is a singular strong limit cardinal of any given cofinality $\delta$,…
In this paper, we prove some divisibility results for the Fourier coefficients of reduced modular forms of sign vectors. More precisely, we generalize a divisibility result of Siegel on constant terms when the weight is non-positive, which…
We study which $\kappa$-distributive forcing notions of size $\kappa$ can be embedded into tree Prikry forcing notions with $\kappa$-complete ultrafilters under various large cardinal assumptions. An alternative formulation -- can the…
We prove that various classical tree forcings -- for instance Sacks forcing, Mathias forcing, Laver forcing, Miller forcing and Silver forcing -- preserve the statement that every real has a sharp and hence analytic determinacy. We then…
For any $2 \le n < \omega$, we introduce a forcing poset using generalized promises which adds a normal $n$-splitting subtree to a $(\ge \! n)$-splitting normal Aronszajn tree. Using this forcing poset, we prove several consistency results…
This paper investigates defining equations for secant varieties of the variety of reducible polynomials, which geometrically encode the notions of strength and slice rank of homogeneous polynomials. We present three main results. First, we…
The sequential form of a statement $\forall\xi(B(\xi) \rightarrow \exists\zeta A(\xi,\zeta))$ is the statement $\forall\xi(\forall n B(\xi_n) \rightarrow \exists\zeta \forall n A(\xi_n,\zeta_n))$. There are many classically true statements…
In this paper, we prove some splitting results for manifolds supporting a non-constant infinity harmonic function which has at most linear growth on one side. Manifolds with non-negative Ricci or sectional curvature are considered. In…
We study the finite dimensional partition properties of the countable homogeneous dense local order. Some of our results use ideas borrowed from the partition calculus of the rationals and are obtained thanks to a strengthening of…
The paper is devoted to a study of certain fixed point properties, and their relatives, in the context of full automorphism groups of countable rooted trees. Namely, we study Serre's property (FA'), also called unsplittability, property…
We construct a simple combinatorially-defined representation of $\mathfrak{sl}_2$ which respects the order structure of the weak order on the symmetric group. This is used to resolve a conjecture of Stanley that the weak order has the…
The cardinal invariants $ \mathfrak h, \mathfrak b, \mathfrak s$ of $\mathcal P (\omega)$ are known to satisfy that $\omega_1 \leq \mathfrak h \leq\min\{\mathfrak b, \mathfrak s\}$. We prove that all inequalities can be strict. We also…
From many supercompact cardinals, we show that it is consistent for the tree property to hold at many small successors of singular cardinals, each with a different cofinality. In particular, we construct a model in which the tree property…
In this paper we analyze the connection between some properties of partially strongly compact cardinals: the completion of filters of certain size and instances of the compactness of $\mathcal{L}_{\kappa,\kappa}$. Using this equivalence we…
Full strong-branching is a well-known variable selection rule that is known experimentally to produce significantly smaller branch-and-bound trees in comparison to all other known variable selection rules. In this paper, we attempt an…
We characterize the points that satisfy Birkhoff's ergodic theorem under certain computability conditions in terms of algorithmic randomness. First, we use the method of cutting and stacking to show that if an element x of the Cantor space…
Generalizing the proof for Sacks forcing, we show that the $h$-perfect tree forcing notions introduced by Goldstern, Judah and Shelah preserve selective independent families even when iterated. As a result we obtain new proofs of the…
In this paper, we estimate the weak saturation numbers of trees. As a case study, we examine caterpillars and obtain several tight estimates. In particular, this implies that for any $\alpha\in [1,2]$, there exist caterpillars with $k$…
A set X which is a subset of the Cantor set has property (s) (Marczewski (Spzilrajn)) iff for every perfect set P there exists a perfect set Q contained in P such that Q is a subset of X or Q is disjoint from X. Suppose U is a nonprincipal…
