Motivated by team semantics and existential second-order logic, we develop a model-theoretic framework for studying second-order objects such as sets and relations. We introduce a notion of abstract elementary team categories that…

We are considering typed hierarchies of total, continuous functionals using complete, separable metric spaces at the base types. We pay special attention to the so called Urysohn space constructed by P. Urysohn. One of the properties of the…

For non-empty sets X we define notions of distance and pseudo metric with values in a partially ordered set that has a smallest element $\theta $. If $h_X$ is a distance in $X$ (respectively, a pseudo metric in $X$), then the pair $(X,h_X)$…

Federer's characterization states that a set $E\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ is of finite perimeter if and only if $\mathcal H^{n-1}(\partial^*E)<\infty$. Here the measure-theoretic boundary $\partial^*E$ consists of those points where both $E$ and…

In this paper we study the topology of a set naturally arising from the study of $\beta$-expansions. After proving several elementary results for this set we study the case when our base is Pisot. In this case we give necessary and…

This thesis concerns embeddings and self-embeddings of foundational structures in both set theory and category theory. The first part of the work on models of set theory consists in establishing a refined version of Friedman's theorem on…

We develop the Mass Transference Principle for rectangles of Wang \& Wu (Math. Ann. 2021) to incorporate the `unbounded' setup; that is, when along some direction the lower order (at infinity) of the side lengths of the rectangles under…

Starting with a sigma finite measure on an algebra, we define a pseudometric and show how measurable sets from the Caratheodory Extension Theorem can be thought of as limit points of Cauchy sequences in the algebra.

The Jarn\'ik-Besicovitch theorem is a fundamental result in metric number theory which concerns the Hausdorff dimension for certain limsup sets. We discuss the analogous problem for liminf sets. Consider an infinite sequence of positive…

For a metric space $X$ we study metrics on the two copies of $X$. We define composition of such metrics and show that the equivalence classes of metrics are a semigroup $M(X)$ Our main result is that $M(X)$ is an inverse semigroup,…

It is a longstanding conjecture that given a subset $E$ of a metric space, if $E$ has finite Hausdorff measure in dimension $\alpha\ge 0$ and $\mathscr{H}^\alpha\llcorner E$ has unit density almost everywhere, then $E$ is an…

The theory of uniform approximation of real numbers motivates the study of products of consecutive partial quotients in regular continued fractions. For any non-decreasing positive function $\varphi:\mathbb{N}\to [2,\infty)$, we determine…

It is known that one can construct non-parametric functions by assuming classical axioms. Our work is a converse to that: we prove classical axioms in dependent type theory assuming specific instances of non-parametricity. We also address…

We construct a multiset space $\mathbb{N}[X]$ over a metric space $X$ that simultaneously enjoys desirable topological properties and admits a natural matching metric $d_{\mathbb{N}[X]}$, making it a metrizable abelian topological monoid…

The technique of symmetric extensions is derived from forcing and it is one of the most important tools for studying models without the Axiom of Choice. Despite being incredibly successful since the 1960s, our understanding of the technique…

In this dissertation we define a generalization of Kakeya sets in certain metric spaces. Kakeya sets in Euclidean spaces are sets of zero Lebesgue measure containing a segment of length one in every direction. A famous conjecture, known as…

Michalski gave a short and elegant proof of a theorem of A. Kumar which states that for each set A in R, there exists a subset B of A which is full in A and such that no distance between points in B is a rational number. He also proved a…

In this note, we present a characterization of sets definable in Skolem arithmetic, i.e., the first-order theory of natural numbers with multiplication. This characterization allows us to prove the decidability of the theory. The idea is…

A landmark theorem in the metric theory of continued fractions begins this way: Select a non-negative real function $f$ defined on the positive integers and a real number $x$, and form the partial sums $s_n$ of $f$ evaluated at the partial…

It was recently shown that arbitrary first-order models canonically extend to models (of the same language) consisting of ultrafilters. The main precursor of this construction was the extension of semigroups to semigroups of ultrafilters, a…
