The Goodman-Nguyen relation is a partial order generalising the implication (inclusion) relation to conditional events. As such, with precise probabilities it both induces an agreeing probability ordering and is a key tool in a certain…
We characterize several large cardinal notions by model-theoretic properties of extensions of first-order logic. We show that $\Pi_n$-strong cardinals, and, as a corollary, ``Ord is Woodin" and weak Vop\v{e}nka's Principle, are…
The goal of this article is to discuss a recent conjecture of the two authors, which aims to describe the long time behavior of solutions to one-dimensional dispersive equations with cubic and higher nonlinearities. These problems arguably…
The Galton-Watson process belongs to standard teaching in probability. The basic theorem says that survival is only possible when the fecondity exceeds 1. The classical proof is essentially analytic, using generating functions and convexity…
We prove that for regular $\lambda$ above a strong limit singular $\mu$ certain guessing principles follow just from cardinal arithmetic assumptions. The main result is that for such $\lambda$ and $\mu$ there are coboundedly many regular…
We formulate a generalization of Vojta's conjecture in terms of log pairs and variants of multiplier ideals. In this generalization, a variety is allowed to have singularities. It turns out that the generalized conjecture for a log pair is…
In this paper, we establish the existence and uniqueness of weak solutions to first-order discount mean field games and a stability result to give the existence for the ergodic problem. We show an example to illustrate the multiplicity of…
We prove new cases of the Tate conjecture for abelian varieties over finite fields, extending previous results of Dupuy--Kedlaya--Zureick-Brown, Lenstra--Zarhin, Tankeev, and Zarhin. Notably, our methods allow us to prove the Tate…
We provide an abstract framework for submodular mean field games and identify verifiable sufficient conditions that allow to prove existence and approximation of strong mean field equilibria in models where data may not be continuous with…
Motivated by a question of Krzysztof Oleszkiewicz we study a notion of weak tail domination of random vectors. We show that if the dominating random variable is sufficiently regular weak tail domination implies strong tail domination. In…
A new generalisation of Goldbach's conjecture (GGC) - also generalising that of Lemoine - is tested, introduced by the first author. It states that for every pair of positive integers $m_1, m_2$, every sufficiently large integer $n$…
We prove that if lambda is a strong limit singular cardinal and kappa a regular uncountable cardinal < lambda, then NS_{kappa lambda}, the non-stationary ideal over P_{kappa} lambda, is nowhere precipitous. We also show that under the same…
It is shown that the evolution of an axially and reflection symmetric fluid distribution, satisfying the Tolman condition for thermal equilibrium, is not accompanied by the emission of gravitational radiation. This result, which was…
We introduce the $\omega$-Vaught's conjecture, a strengthening of the infinitary Vaught's conjecture. We believe that if one were to prove the infinitary Vaught's conjecture in a structural way without using techniques from higher recursion…
We show that many large cardinal notions up to measurability can be characterized through the existence of certain filters for small models of set theory. This correspondence will allow us to obtain a canonical way in which to assign ideals…
Starting from suitable large cardinals, we force the failure of (weak) diamond at the least inaccessible cardinal. The result improves an unpublished theorem of Woodin and a recent result of Ben-Neria, Garti and Hayut.
We characterize winning strategies in various infinite games involving filters on the natural numbers in terms of combinatorics or structural properties of the given filter. These generalize several ultrafilter games of Galvin.
We introduce a natural generalization of Borel's Conjecture. For each infinite cardinal number $\kappa$, let {\sf BC}$_{\kappa}$ denote this generalization. Then ${\sf BC}_{\aleph_0}$ is equivalent to the classical Borel conjecture.…
We give Woodin's original proof that if there exists a $(\kappa+2)-$strong cardinal $\kappa,$ then there is a generic extension of the universe in which $\kappa=\aleph_\omega,$ $GCH$ holds below $\aleph_\omega$ and…
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…
