We present and study new definitions of universal and programmable universal unary functions and consider a new simplicity criterion: almost decidability of the halting set. A set of positive integers S is almost decidable if there exists a…

We establish generic existence of Universal Taylor Series on products $\Omega = \prod \Omega_i$ of planar simply connected domains $\Omega_i$ where the universal approximation holds on products $K$ of planar compact sets with connected…

In the present paper, we study a set that can be treated as a generalised set of subsums for a geometric series. This object was discovered independently in various mathematical aspects. For instance, it is closely related to various…

We characterize ultrafilter convergence and ultrafilter compactness in linearly ordered and generalized ordered topological spaces. In such spaces, and for every ultrafilter $D$, the notions of $D$-compactness and of $D$-pseudocompactness…

Descriptive set theory is mainly concerned with studying subsets of the space of all countable binary sequences. In this paper we study the generalization where countable is replaced by uncountable. We explore properties of generalized…

Let G be a group and let O_G denote the set of left orderings on G. Then O_G can be topologized in a natural way, and we shall study this topology to answer three conjectures. In particular we shall show that O_G can never be countably…

We study the set M(X) of full non-atomic Borel (finite or infinite) measures on a non-compact locally compact Cantor set X. For an infinite measure $\mu$ in M(X), the set $\mathfrak{M}_\mu = \{x \in X : {for any compact open set} U \ni x…

Suppose that $\lambda=\lambda^{<\lambda} \ge\aleph_0$, and we are considering a theory $T$. We give a criterion on $T$ which is sufficient for the consistent existence of $\lambda^{++}$ universal models of $T$ of size $\lambda^+$ for models…

A spectral set in R^n is a set X of finite Lebesgue measure such that L^2(X) has an orthogonal basis of exponentials. It is conjectured that every spectral set tiles R^n by translations. A set of translations T has a universal spectrum if…

In this paper we consider the relationship between the Assouad and box-counting dimension and how both behave under the operation of taking products. We introduce the notion of `equi-homogeneity' of a set, which requires a uniformity in the…

The classic middle-thirds Cantor set leads to a singular continuous measure via a distribution function that is know as the Devil's staircase. The support of the Cantor measure is a set of zero Lebesgue measure. Here, we discuss a class of…

A conjecture of Erd\H{o}s states that for any infinite set $A \subseteq \mathbb R$, there exists $E \subseteq \mathbb R$ of positive Lebesgue measure that does not contain any nontrivial affine copy of $A$. The conjecture remains open for…

We introduce and investigate a topological version of St\"ackel's 1907 characterization of finite sets, with the goal of obtaining an interesting notion that characterizes usual compactness (or a close variant of it). Define a $T_2$…

A 1910 theorem of Brouwer characterizes the Cantor set as the unique totally disconnected, compact metric space without isolated points. A 1920 theorem of Sierpinski characterizes the rationals as the unique countable metric space without…

A uniform approach to computing with infinite objects like real numbers, tuples of these, compacts sets, and uniformly continuous maps is presented. In work of Berger it was shown how to extract certified algorithms working with the signed…

A rational distance set is a subset of the plane such that the distance between any two points is a rational number. We show, assuming Lang's Conjecture, that the cardinalities of rational distance sets in general position are uniformly…

Burke \cite{MR1472122} proved that the generalized nonstationary ideal, denoted NS, is universal in the following sense: every normal ideal, and every tower of normal ideals of inaccessible height, is a canonical Rudin-Keisler projection of…

A generalized topology in a set $X$ is a collection $\text{Cov}_X$ of families of subsets of $X$ such that the triple $(X,\bigcup \text{Cov}_X,\text{Cov}_X)$ is a generalized topological space in the sense of Delfs and Knebusch. In this…

With a new proof approach we prove in a more general setting the classical convergence theorem that almost everywhere convergence of measurable functions on a finite measure space implies convergence in measure. Specifically, we generalize…

We study the exact Hausdorff and packing dimensions of the $prime$ $Cantor$ $set$, $\Lambda_P$, which comprises the irrationals whose continued fraction entries are prime numbers. We prove that the Hausdorff measure of the prime Cantor set…
