We prove an extension of the well-known combinatorial-topological lemma of E. Sperner to the case of infinite-dimensional cubes. It is obtained as a corollary to an infinitary extension of the Lebesgue Covering Dimension Theorem.
It is a survey of the main results on abstract characterizations of algebras of $n$-place functions obtained in the last 40 years. A special attention is paid to those algebras of $n$-place functions which are strongly connected with groups…
The theory of the basic statistical concept of (Lehmann-Scheff\'e-)completeness is perfected by providing the theorem indicated in the title and previously overlooked for several decades. Relations to earlier results are discussed and…
We prove a high order Schwarz-Pick lemma for mappings between unit balls in complex spaces in terms of the Bergman metric. From this lemma, Schwarz-Pick estimates for partial derivatives of arbitrary order of mappings are deduced.
Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic p>0, let m,r be integers with m\ge1, r\ge0 and m\ge r and let S_0(2m,r) be the symplectic Schur algebra over k as introduced by the first author. We introduce the symplectic Schur…
In this article, which is dedicated to my friend and colleague Boris Zilber on the occasion of his 75th birthday, I put forward a strategy for proving his quasiminimality conjecture for the complex exponential field. That is, for showing…
In 1994, P.-G. Becker and W. Bergweiler listed all the differentially algebraic solutions of three famous functional equations: the Schr{\"o}der's, B{\"o}ttcher's and Abel's equations. The proof of this theorem combines various domains of…
In this paper we survey the history of, and recent developments on, two major conjectures originating in Zilber's model-theoretic work on complex exponentiation -- Existential Closedness and Zilber-Pink. The main focus is on the modular…
It is well known that in Zermelo-Fraenkel (ZF) set theory any finite set is decidable. In this paper we discuss an extension of ZF where this result is no longer valid. Such an extension is quasi-set theory and it has its origin on problems…
About last 70s, Haynsworth [6] used a result of the Schur complement to refine a determinant inequality for positive definite matrices. Haynsworth's result was improved by Hartfiel [5]. We extend their result to a larger class of matrices,…
The aim of this article is to give an elementary proof of the fact that the Schwarz-Pick Lemma follows from the Ahlfors-Schwarz-Pick Lemma.
An active stream of literature has followed up the idea of skew-elliptical densities initiated by Azzalini and Capitanio (1999). Their original formulation was based on a general lemma which is however of broader applicability than usually…
We begin a study of Schur analysis in the setting of the Grassmann algebra, when the latter is completed with respect to the $1$-norm. We focus on the rational case. We start with a theorem on invertibility in the completed algebra, and…
We fix a gap in the proof of a result in our earlier paper "Generalised notions of amenability, II" (J. Funct. Anal. 254 (2008) 1776-1810), and so provide a new proof to a characterization of amenability for Beurling algebras. The result…
We prove a conjecture of Sturmfels, Timme and Zwiernik on the ML-degrees of linear covariance models in algebraic statistics. As in our previous works on linear concentration models, the proof ultimately relies on the computation of certain…
We deduce a special case of Zilber's quasiminimality conjecture, for the complex exponential field, from work of Henson and Rubel. Specifically, we deal with those subsets of $\mathbb{C}$ defined by formulas of the form…
After reviewing classical Schur-Weyl duality, we present some other contexts which enjoy similar features, relating to Brauer algebras and classical groups.
We show pro-definability of spaces of definable types in various classical complete first order theories, including complete o-minimal theories, Presburger arithmetic, $p$-adically closed fields, real closed and algebraically closed valued…
We prove Turner's conjecture, which describes the blocks of the Hecke algebras of the symmetric groups up to derived equivalence as certain explicit Turner double algebras. Turner doubles are Schur-algebra-like `local' objects, which…
In this paper, we introduce Schubert decompositions for quiver Grassmannians and investigate example classes of quiver Grassmannians with a Schubert decomposition into affine spaces. The main theorem puts the cells of a Schubert…
