Let X be a smooth complex Fano variety. We define and study 'quasi elementary' contractions of fiber type f: X -> Y. These have the property that rho(X) is at most rho(Y)+rho(F), where rho is the Picard number and F is a general fiber of f.…

Starting from an arbitrary endomorphism \alpha of a unital C*-algebra A we construct a crossed product. It is shown that the natural construction depends not only on the C*-dynamical system (A,\alpha) but also on the choice of an ideal…

A relational structure R is ultrahomogeneous if every isomorphism of finite induced substructures of R extends to an automorphism of R. We classify the ultrahomogeneous finite binary relational structures with one asymmetric binary relation…

A structure ${\mathbb Y}$ of a relational language $L$ is called almost chainable iff there are a finite set $F \subset Y$ and a linear order $<$ on the set $Y\setminus F$ such that for each partial automorphism $\varphi$ (i.e., local…

We say that a set of pairs of disjoint cycles $\Lambda(G)$ of a graph $G$ is linked if for any spatial embedding $f$ of $G$ there exists an element $\lambda$ of $\Lambda(G)$ such that the $2$-component link $f(\lambda)$ is nonsplittable,…

Let $X$ be an $n$-element set, where $n$ is even. We refute a conjecture of J. Gordon and Y. Teplitskaya, according to which, for every maximal intersecting family $\mathcal{F}$ of $\frac{n}2$-element subsets of $X$, one can partition $X$…

A bornology $\mathcal{B}$ on a set $X$ is called minmax if the smallest and the largest coarse structures on $X$ compatible with $\mathcal{B}$ coincide. We prove that $\mathcal{B}$ is minmax if and only if the family $\mathcal…

Orderability, weak orderability and the existence of continuous weak selections on filter spaces (i.e., spaces with a single non-isolated point) and their products are discussed. We prove that a closed continuous image X of a suborderable…

In this note, we extend results about unique $n^{\textrm{th}}$ roots and cancellation of finite disconnected graphs with respect to the Cartesian, the strong and the direct product, to the rooted hierarchical products, and to a modified…

If $A_n$ is a sequence of C*-algebras, then the C*-algebra $\prod A_n / \bigoplus A_n$ is called a reduced product. We prove, assuming Todorcevic's Axiom and Martin's Axiom, that every isomorphism between two reduced products of separable,…

Let $X$ be an unbounded metric space, $B(x,r) = \{y\in X: d(x,y) \leqslant r\}$ for all $x\in X$ and $r\geqslant 0$. We endow $X$ with the discrete topology and identify the Stone-\v{C}ech compactification $\beta X$ of $X$ with the set of…

We introduce a minimal ZFC-internal axiom system for pre-structural data (X, A, mu, mu^{otimes 2}, R, I, Pi_R, G, E_0, eta), where Pi_R : X -> R is a designated map and G subset X x X is a measurable relation; admissible structural models…

Let $I$ be an infinite set, $\{G_i:i\in I\}$ be a family of (topological) groups and $G=\prod_{i\in I} G_i$ be its direct product. For $J\subseteq I$, $p_{J}: G\to \prod_{j\in J} G_j$ denotes the projection. We say that a subgroup $H$ of…

Cartesian product networks are always regarded as a tool for ``combining'' two given networks with established properties to obtain a new one that inherits properties from both. For a graph $F=(V,E)$ and a set $S\subseteq V(F)$ of at least…

Consider the reduced free product of C*-algebras, (A,\phi)=(A_1,\phi_1)*(A_2,\phi_2), with respect to states \phi_1 and \phi_2 that are faithful. If \phi_1 and \phi_2 are traces, if the so-called Avitzour conditions are satisfied, (i.e. A_1…

A labelled, undirected graph is a graph whose edges have assigned labels, from a specific set. Given a labelled, undirected graph, the well-known minimum labelling spanning tree problem is aimed at finding the spanning tree of the graph…

We say a structure $M$ in a first-order language is indivisible if for every coloring of its universe in two colors, there is a monochromatic substructure $M'$ of $M$ such that $M'$ is isomorphic to $M$. Additionally, we say that $M$ is…

The coherent configuration $\mathsf{WL}(X)$ of a graph $X$ is the smallest coherent configuration on the vertices of $X$ that contains the edge set of $X$ as a relation. The aim of the paper is to study $\mathsf{WL}(X)$ when $X$ is a…

In this article we prove that if $ X $ is a normed space and $ U $ is a polygonally-connected subset of $ X $ with $M:=\{S_i:\ i\in I\}\subset \mathcal{P}\left( U\right) $, a non-empty arbitrary family of discrete, non-empty subsets of $ U,…

We study (smooth, complex) Fano 4-folds X with Picard number rho(X)>6. We show that if rho(X)>9, then X is a product of del Pezzo surfaces, thus improving recent results by the author and by the author and S.A. Secci; the statement is now…
