We study several cardinal, and ordinal--valued functions that are relatives of Hanf numbers. Let kappa be an infinite cardinal, and let T subseteq L_{kappa^+, omega} be a theory of cardinality <= kappa, and let gamma be an ordinal >=…

We consider the problem of maximizing a monotone submodular function under noise. There has been a great deal of work on optimization of submodular functions under various constraints, resulting in algorithms that provide desirable…

Let $A$ and $B$ be compact operators over a topological space $X$ and suppose that these operators are normal and have same distinct eigenvalues at each point. By obstruction theory, we establish a necessary and sufficient condition for $A$…

We prove that the class of positive operators from $L_\infty (\mu)$ to $Y$ has the Bishop-Phelps-Bollob\'as property for any positive measure $\mu$, whenever $Y$ is a uniformly monotone Banach lattice with a weak unit. The same result also…

We show that in any complete metric space the probability measures $\mu$ with compact and connected support are the ones having the property that the optimal tranportation distance to any other probability measure $\nu$ living on the…

A pair of numbers is amicable if each number equals the sum of the proper divisors of the other. This paper after exploring the history and evolution of amicable numbers, introduces a novel characterization of amicable pairs whose greatest…

In this paper, the generalized Hyers--Ulam--Rassias stability of $(\sigma-\tau)$-derivations on normed algebras into Banach bimodules is established. We introduce the notion of approximate $(\sigma-\tau)$-contractibility and prove that a…

We associate to a compact spin manifold M a real-valued invariant \tau(M) by taking the supremum over all conformal classes over the infimum inside each conformal class of the first positive Dirac eigenvalue, normalized to volume 1. This…

We investigate the scalar Chern-Simons equation $-\Delta u + e^u(e^u-1) = \mu$ in cases where there is no solution for a given nonnegative finite measure $\mu$. Approximating $\mu$ by a sequence of nonnegative $L^1$ functions or finite…

An ideal $I$ on a cardinal $\kappa$ is called \emph{rigid} if all automorphisms of $P(\kappa)/I$ are trivial. An ideal is called \emph{$\mu$-minimal} if whenever $G\subseteq P(\kappa)/I$ is generic and $X\in P(\mu)^{V[G]}\setminus V$, it…

We consider problems to make a given bidirected graph strongly connected with minimum cardinality of additional signs or additional arcs. For the former problem, we show the minimum number of additional signs and give a linear-time…

Recent experimental results for the ratio of the branching fractions of $\bar B\to D^{(*)}\tau\bar \nu_\tau$ and $\bar B\to D^{(*)}\mu\bar \nu_\mu$ decays came as a surprise and lead to a discussion of possibility to constraining New…

We examine the elliptic system given by \begin{eqnarray*} \qquad \left\{ \begin{array}{lcl} -\Delta u =\lambda f(v) \quad \mbox{ in } \Omega -\Delta v =\gamma f(u) \quad \mbox{ in } \Omega, u=v =0, \quad \mbox{ on } \pOm \end{array}\right.…

Given a subset $A \subseteq \{0,1\}^n$, let $\mu(A)$ be the maximal ratio between $\ell_4$ and $\ell_2$ norms of a function whose Fourier support is a subset of $A$. We make some simple observations about the connections between $\mu(A)$…

This paper deals with countable products of countable Borel equivalence relations and equivalence relations "just above" those in the Borel reducibility hierarchy. We show that if $E$ is strongly ergodic with respect to $\mu$ then…

We discuss a simple singular system in two dimension, two heavy particles interacting with a light particle via an attractive contact interaction. Although intuitively clear the actual application of the Born-Oppenheimer approximation to…

The moduli space $\mathcal{M}_d$ of degree $d\geq2$ rational maps can naturally be endowed with a measure $\mu_\mathrm{bif}$ detecting maximal bifurcations, called the bifurcation measure. We prove that the support of the bifurcation…

Let $K$ be a positive compact operator on a Banach lattice. We prove that if either $[K>$ or $<K]$ is ideal irreducible then $[K>=<K]=L_+(X)\cap {K}'$. We also establish the Perron-Frobenius Theorem for such operators $K$. Finally we apply…

We define a weak iterability notion that is sufficient for a number of arguments concerning $\Sigma_1$-definability at uncountable regular cardinals. In particular we give its exact consistency strength firstly in terms of the second…

Assume $n=2m\geq 2$ and let $F(x)=x^{d_1}+x^{d_2}$ be a binomial vectorial function over $\F_{2^n}$ possessing the maximal number (i.e. $2^n-2^m$) of bent components. Suppose the $2$-adic Hamming weights $\wt_2(d_1)$ and $\wt_2(d_2)$ are…
