Fix a weakly minimal (i.e., superstable $U$-rank $1$) structure $\mathcal{M}$. Let $\mathcal{M}^*$ be an expansion by constants for an elementary substructure, and let $A$ be an arbitrary subset of the universe $M$. We show that all…

This paper deals with the Fisher-consistency, weak continuity and differentiability of estimating functionals corresponding to a class of both linear and nonlinear regression high breakdown M estimates, which includes S and MM estimates. A…

The problem of learning a minimal consistent model from a set of labeled sequences of symbols is addressed from a satisfiability modulo theories perspective. We present two encodings for deterministic finite automata and extend one of these…

This paper proves that the equational theory of the class $RA_{\alpha}^{csp}$ of representable polyadic algebras is finitely axiomatizable over its substitution-free reduct $RA_{\alpha}^{cp}$, for finite $\alpha$. That is, substitutions of…

The main goal of this paper is proving the fixed point theorem for finite groups acting on weakly systolic complexes. As corollaries we obtain results concerning classifying spaces for the family of finite subgroups of weakly systolic…

The stability rule for belief, advocated by Leitgeb [Annals of Pure and Applied Logic 164, 2013], is a rule for rational acceptance that captures categorical belief in terms of $\textit{probabilistically stable propositions}$: propositions…

Let $(F_n)_{n\geq 0}$ be the Fibonacci sequence given by $F_{n+2}=F_{n+1}+F_n$, for $n\geq 0$, where $F_0=0$ and $F_1=1$. There are several interesting identities involving this sequence such as $F_n^2+F_{n+1}^2=F_{2n+1}$, for all $n\geq…

Whitney's extension problem asks the following: Given a compact set $E\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ and a function $f:E\to \mathbb{R}$, how can we tell whether there exists $F\in C^m(\mathbb{R}^n)$ such that $F=f$ on $E$? A 2006 theorem of Charles…

This Paper investigate sequent calculi for certain weak subintuitionistic logics. We establish that weakening and contraction are height-preserving admissible for each of these calculi, and we provide a syntactic proof for the admissibility…

This paper establishes model-theoretic properties of $\mathrm{FOE}^{\infty}$, a variation of monadic first-order logic that features the generalised quantifier $\exists^\infty$ (`there are infinitely many'). We provide syntactically defined…

In many instances in first order logic or computable algebra, classical theorems show that many problems are undecidable for general structures, but become decidable if some rigidity is imposed on the structure. For example, the set of…

The stable reduction theorem says that a family of curves of genus $g\geq 2$ over a punctured curve can be uniquely completed (after possible base change) by inserting certain stable curves at the punctures. We give a new proof of this…

We study the logical complexity of proofs in cyclic arithmetic ($\mathsf{CA}$), as introduced in Simpson '17, in terms of quantifier alternations of formulae occurring. Writing $C\Sigma_n$ for (the logical consequences of) cyclic proofs…

We present a new manifestation of G\"odel's second incompleteness theorem and discuss its foundational significance, in particular with respect to Hilbert's program. Specifically, we consider a proper extension of Peano arithmetic…

We show that it is consistent relative to a weakly compact cardinal that strong homology is additive and compactly supported within the class of locally compact separable metric spaces. This complements work of Marde\v{s}i\'{c} and Prasolov…

We study Fermat's Last Theorem and Catalan's conjecture in the context of weak arithmetics with exponentiation. We deal with expansions (B,e) of models of arithmetical theories (in the language L=(0,1,+,x,<)) by a binary (partial or total)…

In this paper we provide a (negative) solution to a problem posed by Stanis{\l}aw Krajewski. Consider a recursively enumerable theory U and a finite expansion of the signature of U that contains at least one predicate symbol of arity $\ge$…

Feature based explanations, that provide importance of each feature towards the model prediction, is arguably one of the most intuitive ways to explain a model. In this paper, we establish a novel set of evaluation criteria for such feature…

Linearizability is a widely accepted notion of correctness for concurrent objects. Recent research has investigated redefining linearizability for particular hardware weak memory models, in particular for TSO. In this paper, we provide an…

Many popular robust estimators are $U$-quantiles, most notably the Hodges-Lehmann location estimator and the $Q_n$ scale estimator. We prove a functional central limit theorem for the sequential $U$-quantile process without any moment…
