The almost sure convergence of ergodic averages in Birkhoff's pointwise ergodic theorem is known to fail in the finitely additive setting. We introduce a natural reformulation of almost sure convergence suitable for finitely additive…
We study algebras k[x_1,...,x_n]/I which admit a grading by a subsemigroup of N^d such that every graded component is a one-dimensional k-vector space. V.I.~Arnold and coworkers proved that for d = 1 and n <= 3 there are only finitely many…
We prove an analogue of the portmanteau theorem on weak convergence of probability measures allowing measures which are unbounded on an underlying metric space but finite on the complement of any Borel neighbourhood of a fixed element.
Given positive measures $\nu,\mu$ on an arbitrary measurable space $(\Omega, \mathcal F)$, we construct a sequence of finite partitions $(\pi_n)_n$ of $(\Omega, \mathcal F)$ s.t. $$ \sum_{A\in \pi_n: \mu(A)>0} 1_{A} \frac{\nu(A)}{\mu(A)}…
A theorem of Wiegerinck says that the Bergman space over any domain in $\mathbb C$ is either trivial or infinite dimensional. We generalize this theorem in the following form. Let E be a hermitian, holomorphic vector bundle over $\mathbb…
This paper is motivated by questions such as P vs. NP and other questions in Boolean complexity theory. We describe an approach to attacking such questions with cohomology, and we show that using Grothendieck topologies and other ideas from…
Let $X$ and $Y$ be Banach spaces, let $\mathcal{A}(X)$ stands for the algebra of approximable operators on $X$, and let $P\colon\mathcal{A}(X)\to Y$ be an orthogonally additive, continuous $n$-homogeneous polynomial. If $X^*$ has the…
In this paper we first formulate several ``combinatorial principles'' concerning kappa \times omega matrices of subsets of omega and prove that they are valid in the generic extension obtained by adding any number of Cohen reals to any…
We discuss proofs of nonlocality based on a generalization by Erwin Schr\"odinger of the argument of Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen. These proofs do not appeal in any way to Bell's inequalities. Indeed, one striking feature of the proofs is…
The notion of strong 1-boundedness for finite von Neumann algebras was introduced by Jung in arXiv:math/0510576 . This framework provided a free probabilistic approach to study rigidity properties and classification of finite von Neumann…
Categories of models of algebraic theories have good categorical properties except for gluing. Building upon insights and examples from Synthetic Differential Geometry, we introduce a generalisation of models of algebraic theories to…
We introduce the antipodal pairs property for probability measures on finite Boolean algebras and prove that conditional versions imply strong forms of log-concavity. We give several applications of this fact, including improvements of some…
We continue the work of [1, 2, 3] by analyzing the equivalence relation of bi-embeddability on various classes of countable planes, most notably the class of countable non-Desarguesian projective planes. We use constructions of the second…
If $\lambda$ is (strongly) inaccessible and $2^\lambda = \lambda^+$, then there is a nowhere trivial automorphism of the Boolean algebra $\mathcal P(\lambda)/[\lambda]^{<\lambda}$.
We consider homogeneity properties of Boolean algebras that have nonprincipal ultrafilters which are countably generated.It is shown that a Boolean algebra B is homogeneous if it is the union of countably generated nonprincipal ultrafilters…
We show that a QWEP von Neumann algebra has the weak* positive approximation property if and only if it is seemingly injective in the following sense: there is a factorization of the identity of $M$ $$Id_M=vu: M{\buildrel…
The forcing theorem is the most fundamental result about set forcing, stating that the forcing relation for any set forcing is definable and that the truth lemma holds, that is everything that holds in a generic extension is forced by a…
We prove that under any projective embedding of an abelian variety A of dimension g, a complete system of addition laws has cardinality at least g+1, generalizing of a result of Bosma and Lenstra for the Weierstrass model of an elliptic…
Shnirel'man's inequality and Shnirel'man's basis theorem are fundamental results about sums of sets of positive integers in additive number theory. It is proved that these results are inherently order-theoretic and extend to partially…
This article concerns commutative algebras over a field $k$ of characteristic zero which are finite dimensional as vectorspaces, and particularly those of such algebras which are graded. Here the term graded is applied to non-negatively…
