We complete a 40-year old program on the computability-theoretic analysis of Ramsey's theorem, starting with Jockusch in 1972, and improving a result of Chong, Slaman and Yang in 2014. Given a set $X$, let $[X]^n$ be the collection of all…
Let $\mathbb{A}$ denote the Alexandroff-Urysohn double arrow space. We prove the following results: (a) $\mathbb{A}\times{}^\omega{2}$ is not countable dense homogeneous; (b) ${}^{\omega}{\mathbb{A}}$ is not countable dense homogeneous; (c)…
We study k Kadison Schwarz (k KS) mappings on matrix algebras and derive explicit conditions ensuring the k KS property for two classes of maps parameterized by a single k-positive map.
Alternative verifications of Klein's theorem and the proof of $E_0=mc^2$, for a relativistic macroscopic body are presented, using models with boundary conditions of varying complexity, together with some refinements for the case containing…
We show that it is consistent relative to the existence of suitable large cardinals that for any countable-to-one coloring $c: [\omega_2]^2\to \omega_2$, there exists a closed subset $A\subseteq \omega_2$ of order type $\omega_1$ such that…
We prove the consistency of ``CH + 2^{aleph_1} is arbitrarily large + 2^{aleph_1} not-> (omega_1 x omega)^2_2''. If fact, we can get 2^{aleph_1} not-> [omega_1 x omega]^2_{aleph_0}. In addition to this theorem, we give generalizations to…
The first-order part of the Ramsey's Theorem for pairs with an arbitrary number of colors is known to be precisely BSigma03. We compare this to the known division of Ramsey's Theorem for pairs into the weaker principles, EM (the…
In this article we show that $\mathbb{S}/8$ is an $\mathbb{E}_1$-algebra, $\mathbb{S}/32$ is an $\mathbb{E}_2$-algebra, $\mathbb{S}/p^{n+1}$ is an $\mathbb{E}_n$-algebra at odd primes and, more generally, for every $h$ and $n$ there exist…
This paper gives insight into intriguing connections between two apparently unrelated theories: the theory of skein modules of 3-manifolds and the theory of representations of groups into special linear groups of 2 by 2 matrices. Let R be a…
We consider some coloring issues related to the famous Erd\H {o}s Discrepancy Problem. A set of the form $A_{s,k}=\{s,2s,\dots,ks\}$, with $s,k\in \mathbb{N}$, is called a \emph{homogeneous arithmetic progression}. We prove that for every…
We construct a connected graph H such that (1) \chi(H) = \omega; (2) K_\omega, the complete graph on \omega points, is not a minor of H. Therefore Hadwiger's conjecture does not hold for graphs with infinite coloring number.
We present two different types of models where, for certain singular cardinals lambda of uncountable cofinality, lambda -> (lambda, omega+1)^2, although lambda is not a strong limit cardinal. We announce, here, and will present in a…
This paper continues our studies in arXiV:1608.06452 [hep-th] of ${\cal N}=1$ gauge theories in the strongly coupled regimes. We also consider here the ${\cal N}=1$ SQCD-like theories with $SU(N_c)$ colors (and their Seiberg's dual), with…
We answer a question posed by Hirschfeldt and Jockusch by showing that whenever $k > \ell$, Ramsey's theorem for singletons and $k$-colorings, $\mathsf{RT}^1_k$, is not strongly computably reducible to the stable Ramsey's theorem for…
Following methods of Bannon-Marrakchi-Ozawa, we show that for coamenable inclusion $\mathcal{S}\leq \mathcal{R}$ of ergodic, probability measure-preserving relations, we have that $\mathcal{R}$ is strongly ergodic if and only if…
We prove that for any $\varepsilon>0$, for any large enough $t$, there is a graph $G$ that admits no $K_t$-minor but admits a $(\frac32-\varepsilon)t$-colouring that is "frozen" with respect to Kempe changes, i.e. any two colour classes…
Given a nonnegative matrix $A$, can you find diagonal matrices $D_1,~D_2$ such that $D_1AD_2$ is doubly stochastic? The answer to this question is known as Sinkhorn's theorem. It has been proved with a wide variety of methods, each…
We prove from the existence of a Mahlo cardinal the consistency of the statement that $2^\omega = \omega_3$ holds and every stationary subset of $\omega_2 \cap \mathrm{cof}(\omega)$ reflects to an ordinal less than $\omega_2$ with…
This paper consists of three parts. First, we generalize the Jaeger Formula to express the Kauffman-Vogel graph polynomial as a state sum of the Murakami-Ohtsuki-Yamada graph polynomial. Then, we demonstrate that reversing the orientation…
We exhibit rationally ergodic, weakly mixing measure preserving transformations which are not subsequence rationally weakly mixing and give a condition for smoothness of renewal sequences.
