Given an SFT $\Sigma$ and a finite set $S$ of finite words, let $\Sigma\langle S\rangle$ denote the subshift of $\Sigma$ that avoids $S$. We establish a general criterion under which we can bound the entropy perturbation…

We study first-order logic over unordered structures whose elements carry a finite number of data values from an infinite domain. Data values can be compared wrt.\ equality. As the satisfiability problem for this logic is undecidable in…

We show that the unification problem `is there a substitution instance of a given formula that is provable in a given logic?' is undecidable for basic modal logics K and K4 extended with the universal modality. It follows that the…

An interval algebra is a Boolean algebra which is isomorphic to the algebra of finite unions of half-open intervals, of a linearly ordered set. An interval algebra is hereditary if every subalgebra is an interval algebra. We answer a…

We give new and simple proofs of some classical properties of hereditarily indecomposable Banach spaces, including the result by W. T. Gowers and B. Maurey that a hereditarily indecomposable Banach space cannot be isomorphic to a proper…

Recovering and distinguishing between the strict-preference, indifference and/or indecisiveness parts of a decision maker's preferences is a challenging task but also important for testing theory and conducting welfare analysis. This paper…

Hereditarily finite sets (sets which are finite and have only hereditarily finite sets as members) are basic mathematical and computational objects, and also stand at the basis of some programming languages. This raises the need for…

Generalised Probabilistic Theories (GPTs) provide a unifying framework encompassing classical theories, quantum theories, as well as hypothetical alternatives. We investigate the problem of extending a system with a finite set of…

Given a countable group $G$, we develop a method to construct an overgroup $H$ that is finitely generated, highly transitive and mixed identity free. Our construction can be controlled to ensure that some fundamental group theoretic…

A theorem due to Hindman states that if $E$ is a subset of $\mathbb{N}$ with $d^*(E)>0$, where $d^*$ denotes the upper Banach density, then for any $\varepsilon>0$ there exists $N \in \mathbb{N}$ such that…

Existential rules are an expressive knowledge representation language mainly developed to query data. In the literature, they are often supposed to be in some normal form that simplifies technical developments. For instance, a common…

We study the existential (and parts of the universal-existential) theory of equicharacteristic henselian valued fields. We prove, among other things, an existential Ax-Kochen-Ershov principle, which roughly says that the existential theory…

In this article, we study the filtered $\Phi$-modules canonically attached to the exponentially twisted cohomology associated with some nondegenerate functions. Inspired by $p$-adic Hodge theory, we conjecture that those filtered…

Implicit probabilistic models are a flexible class of models defined by a simulation process for data. They form the basis for theories which encompass our understanding of the physical world. Despite this fundamental nature, the use of…

It is common to assume in empirical research that observables and unobservables are additively separable, especially, when the former are endogenous. This is done because it is widely recognized that identification and estimation challenges…
