Erd\H{o}s \cite{MR168482} proved that the Continuum Hypothesis (CH) is equivalent to the existence of an uncountable family $\mathcal{F}$ of (real or complex) analytic functions, such that $\big\{ f(x) \ : \ f \in \mathcal{F} \big\}$ is…

Motivated by problems of statistical language modeling, we consider probability measures on infinite sequences over two countable alphabets of a different cardinality, such as letters and words. We introduce an invertible mapping between…

We consider time-delay systems with a finite number of delays in the state space $L^\infty\times\mathbb{R}^n$. In this framework, we show that forward completeness implies the bounded reachability sets property, while this implication was…

High fidelity state transfer is an important ingredient of distributed quantum information processing. We present and analyse results on perfect and quasi-perfect state transfer with linear spin chains incorporating non-uniform on-site…

We prove a version of the strong Taylor's conjecture for stable graphs: if $G$ is a stable graph whose chromatic number is strictly greater than $\beth_2(\aleph_0)$ then $G$ contains all finite subgraphs of Sh$_n(\omega)$ and thus has…

A harmonic mapping $f=h+\overline{g}$ in $\mathbb{D}$ is $\varphi$-normal if $f^{\#}(z)=\mathcal{O}(|\varphi(z)|), \text{ as } |z|\to 1^-,$ where $f^{\#}(z)={(|h'(z)|+|g'(z)|)}/{(1+|f(z)|^2)}.$ In this paper, we establish several sufficient…

We say that a weighted shift $W_\alpha$ with (positive) weight sequence $\alpha: \alpha_0, \alpha_1, \ldots$ is {\it moment infinitely divisible} (MID) if, for every $t > 0$, the shift with weight sequence $\alpha^t: \alpha_0^t, \alpha_1^t,…

In this work, we prove that every SFT, sofic shift, and strongly irreducible shift on locally finite groups has strong dynamical properties. These properties include that every sofic shift is an SFT, every SFT is strongly irreducible, every…

We show that the backward orbit conjecture is true for powering map $\phi(z)=z^d$ over a function field $K$ with a finite field of constants, and when $d$ is relatively prime to the characteristic of $K$.

Let $X_1, X_2, ..., X_n, ... $ be a sequence of iid random variables with values in a finite alphabet $\{1,...,m\}$. Let $LI_n$ be the length of the longest increasing subsequence of $X_1, X_2, ..., X_n.$ We express the limiting…

We consider symbolic flows over finite alphabets and study certain kinds of repetitions in these sequences. Positive and negative results for the existence of such repetitions are given for codings of interval exchange transformations and…

We determine completely the analytic functions $\varphi$ in the unit disk $\mathbb D$ such that for all (normalized) orientation-preserving harmonic mappings $f=h+\overline g$ produced by the shear construction with $h+g=\varphi$, the…

Given an infinitesimal perturbation of a discrete-time finite Markov chain, we seek the states that are stable despite the perturbation, \textit{i.e.} the states whose weights in the stationary distributions can be bounded away from $0$ as…

For two symmetric quantum states one may be interested in maximizing the overlap under local operations applied to one of them. The question arises whether the maximal overlap can be obtained by applying the same local operation to each…

We study two notions of expansiveness for continuous semiflows: expansiveness in the sense of Alves, Carvalho and Siqueira (2017), and an adaptation of positive expansiveness in the sense of Artigue (2014). We prove that if $X$ is a metric…

In a recent work (arXiv:2207.01954), we showed that a uniformly coupled chain could be symmetrically extended by engineered spin chains in such a way that we could choose part of the spectrum of the overall system. When combined with an…

We study positive subunital maps on ordered effect spaces and introduce the defect $d(T) = u - T(u)$, which satisfies a cocycle identity under composition. Using only this identity and elementary order-theoretic arguments -- requiring no…

Let $X$ be a two-sided subshift on a finite alphabet endowed with a mixing probability measure which is positive on all cylinders in $X$. We show that there exist arbitrarily small finite overlapping union of shifted cylinders which…

For any $d \geq 1$, random $\mathbb{Z}^d$ shifts of finite type (SFTs) were defined in previous work of the authors. For a parameter $\alpha \in [0,1]$, an alphabet $\mathcal{A}$, and a scale $n \in \mathbb{N}$, one obtains a distribution…

A new class of positive maps is introduced. It interpolates between positive and completely positive maps. It is shown that this class gives rise to a new characterization of entangled states. Additionally, it provides a refinement of the…
