We sketch a tentative proof of P-completeness for the $\beta$-convertibility problem on untyped planar (a.k.a. ordered or non-commutative) $\lambda$-terms.
We give an example of a countable theory T such that for every cardinal lambda >= aleph_2 there is a fully indiscernible set A of power lambda such that the principal types are dense over A, yet there is no atomic model of T over A. In…
We show that if an automorphism of a standard Borel space does not admit finite invariant measures, then it has a two-set generator modulo the sigma-ideal generated by wandering sets. This implies that if the entropies of invariant…
Cantor sets of integers have a rich set of arithmetic combinatorial properties. We consider classical Cantor sets, with a base and a fixed set of allowed digits. For such sets, we (a) give examples of such sets that satisfy the intersective…
In this paper we show that every set $A \subset \mathbb{N}$ with positive density contains $B+C$ for some pair $B,C$ of infinite subsets of $\mathbb{N}$, settling a conjecture of Erd\H{o}s. The proof features two different decompositions of…
The monadic theory of $(\mathbb R,\le)$ with quantification restricted to Borel sets is decidable. The Boolean combinations of $F_\sigma$ sets form an elementary substructure of the Borel sets. Under determinacy hypotheses, the proof…
Let I be an ideal of subsets of a Polish space X, containing all singletons and possessing a Borel basis. Assuming that I does not satisfy ccc, we consider the following conditions (B), (M) and (D). Condition (B) states that there is a…
Let A be an idempotent algebra on a 3-element domain D that omits a G-set for a factor. Suppose A is not \alpha\beta-projective (for some alpha, beta subsets of D) and is not collapsible. It follows that A is switchable. We prove that, for…
We determine the exact Borel class of the points whose iterates under $\exp(z)+a$ tend to infinity. We also prove that the sets of non-escaping Julia points for many of these functions are topologically equivalent.
Let $X$ be an uncountable Polish space and let $\mathcal{I}$ be an ideal on $\omega$. A point $\eta \in X$ is an $\mathcal{I}$-limit point of a sequence $(x_n)$ taking values in $X$ if there exists a subsequence $(x_{k_n})$ convergent to…
We prove that a self-similar Cantor set in $\mathbb{Z}_N \times \mathbb{Z}_N$ has a fractal uncertainty principle if and only if it does not contain a pair of orthogonal lines. The key ingredient in our proof is a quantitative form of…
Let C(a) be the central Cantor set generated by a sequence a with terms in (0,1). It is known that the difference set C(a)-C(a) of C(a) can has one of three possible forms: a finite union of closed intervals, a Cantor set, or a Cantorval.…
We show that for any dimension t>2(1+alpha K)/(1+K) there exists a compact set E of dimension t and a function alpha-Holder continuous on the plane, which is K-quasiregular only outside of E. To do this, we construct an explicit…
We prove that the automorphisms of any separable C*-algebra that does not have continuous trace are not classifiable by countable structures up to unitary equivalence. This implies a dichotomy for the Borel complexity of the relation of…
We study aleph_0-stable theories, and prove that if T either has eni-DOP or is eni-deep, then its class of countable models is Borel complete. We introduce the notion of lambda-Borel completeness and prove that such theories are…
A Q-set is an uncountable set of reals all of whose subsets are relative $G_\delta$ sets. We prove that, for an arbitrary uncountable cardinal kappa, there is consistently a Q-set of size $\kappa$ whose square is not Q. This answers a…
Cantor's famous proof of the non-denumerability of real numbers does apply to any infinite set. The set of exclusively all natural numbers does not exist. This shows that the concept of countability is not well defined. There remains no…
We show that if a separable space X has a meager open subset containing a copy of the Cantor set 2^\omega, then X has $\frak{c}$ types of countable dense subsets. We suggest a generalization of the \lambda-set for non-separable spaces. Let…
A long-standing question in the theory of measures of noncompactness is that for the Kuratowski measure of noncompactness $\alpha$ defined on a metric space $M$, and for every bounded subset $B\subset M$, is there a countable subset…
We prove that for every uncountable cardinal $\kappa$ such that $\kappa^{<\kappa}=\kappa$, the quasi-order of embeddability on the $\kappa$-space of $\kappa$-sized graphs Borel reduces to the embeddability on the $\kappa$-space of…
