Defining a condenser in a locally compact space as a locally finite, countable collection of Borel sets $A_i$, $i\in I$, with the sign $s_i=\pm1$ prescribed such that $A_i\cap A_j=\varnothing$ whenever $s_is_j=-1$, we consider a minimum…

We study Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs) in an infinite context. We show that the dichotomy between easy and hard problems -- established already in the finite case -- presents itself as the strength of the corresponding De…

In this paper we demonstrate that solitons of a simple real scalar field model that are {\it static and linearly stable} do exist when considered in a (3+1)-dimensional, spatially compact space-time background, the static Einstein universe,…

We construct two distinct yet related M-theory models that provide suitable frameworks for the study of knot invariants. We then focus on the four-dimensional gauge theory that follows from appropriately compactifying one of these M-theory…

This paper is concerned with the structure of Gromov-Hausdorff limit spaces $(M^n_i,g_i,p_i)\stackrel{d_{GH}}{\longrightarrow} (X^n,d,p)$ of Riemannian manifolds satisfying a uniform lower Ricci curvature bound $Rc_{M^n_i}\geq -(n-1)$ as…

This paper provides some counterexamples to Cantor's contributions to the foundations of Set Theory. The first counterexample forces Cantor's Diagonal Method (DM) to yield one of the numbers in the target list. To study this anomaly, and…

This paper presents conformal invariants for Riemannian manifolds of dimension greater than or equal to four whose vanishing is necessary for a Riemannian manifold to be conformally related to an Einstein space. One of the invariants is a…

We construct uncountably many simply connected open 3-manifolds with genus one ends homeomorphic to the Cantor set. Each constructed manifold has the property that any self homeomorphism of the manifold (which necessarily extends to a…

Kronheimer and Mrowka asked whether the difference between the four-dimensional clasp number and the slice genus can be arbitrarily large. This question is answered affirmatively by studying a knot invariant derived from equivariant…

It is investigated the existence of a separately continuous function $f:X\times Y\to \mathbb R$ with an onepoint set of discontinuity for topological spaces $X$ and $Y$ which satisfy compactness type conditions. In particular, it is shown…

It is introduced an analogue of the orbit-breaking subalgebra for the case of free flows on locally compact metric spaces, which has a natural approximate structure in terms of a fixed point and any nested sequence of central slices around…

According to [1] an $n$-dimensional $\mathcal{N}$--set is a compact subset $A$ of $\mathbb{R}^n$ such that for every $x$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ there is $y$ in $A$ with $y-x$ in $\mathbb{Z}^n$. We prove that every two dimensional…

The search for the true ground state of the dense matter remains open since Bodmer, Terazawa and other raised the possibility of stable quarks, boosted by Witten's $strange$ $matter$ hypothesis in 1984. Within this proposal, the strange…

In 1967, Schmidt wrote a seminal paper [10] on heights of subspaces of R n or C n defined over a number field K, and diophantine approximation problems. The going-down Theorem -- one of the main theorems he proved in his paper -- remains…

We consider the problem of reconstructing compositions of an integer from their subcompositions, which was raised by Raykova (albeit disguised as a question about layered permutations). We show that every composition w of n\ge 3k+1 can be…

A set of $N$ permutations of $\{1,2,\ldots,v\}$ is $t$-suitable, if each symbol precedes each subset of $t-1$ others in at least one permutation. The extremal problem of determining the smallest size $N$ of such sets for given $v$ and $t$…

We give a general survey of the solution of the Einstein constraints by the conformal method on n dimensional compact manifolds. We prove some new results about solutions with low regularity (solutions in $H_{2}$ when n=3), and solutions…

This is a survey which discusses the isomorphism problem for both C* and smooth crossed products by minimal diffeomorphisms. For C* crossed products, examples demonstrate the failure of the obvious analog of the Giordano-Putnam-Skau Theorem…

We show that it is consistent that the continuum is as large as you wish, and for each uncountable cardinal $\kappa$ below the continuum, there are a subset $T$ of the reals and a family $A$ of countable subsets of $T$ such that (1) both…

Let $X$ be a set of $4$ generic points in $\mathbb{P}^2$ with homogeneous coordinate ring $R$. We classify indecomposable graded MCM modules over $R$ by reducing the classification to the Four Subspace problem solved by Nazarova and…
