We consider conformal non-Abelian Toda theories obtained by hamiltonian reduction from Wess-Zumino-Witten models based on general real Lie groups. We study in detail the possible choices of reality conditions which can be imposed on the WZW…
The notion of robust expansion has played a central role in the solution of several conjectures involving the packing of Hamilton cycles in graphs and directed graphs. These and other results usually rely on the fact that every robustly…
We prove that for any finite set A of real numbers its difference set D:=A-A has large product set and quotient set, namely, |DD|, |D/D| \gg |D|^{1+c}, where c>0 is an absolute constant. A similar result takes place in the prime field F_p…
We show that, if $M$ is a simple rank-$n$ matroid with no $\ell$-point line minor and no minor isomorphic to the cycle matroid of a $t$-vertex complete graph, then the ratio $|M| / n$ is bounded above by a singly exponential function of…
We will show it is consistent with $GCH$ that there is a minimal non $\sigma$-scattered linear order which does not contain any real or Aronszajn type.
There has recently been ample interest in the question of which sets can be represented by linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). A necessary condition is that the set is rigidly convex, and it has been conjectured that rigid convexity is also…
Reflections from hypersurfaces act by symplectomorphisms on the space of oriented lines with respect to the canonical symplectic form. We consider an arbitrary $C^{\infty}$-smooth hypersurface $\gamma\subset\mathbb R^{n+1}$ that is either a…
We consider singular integrals associated to homogeneous kernels on self similar sets. Using ideas from ergodic theory we prove, among other things, that in Euclidean spaces the principal values of singular integrals associated to real…
We develop some basic results about full amalgamation classes with intrinsic trascendentals. These classes have generics whose models may have finite subsets whose intrinsic closure is not contained in its algebraic closure. We will show…
We show that for any two sets of reals numbers $A=\{a_1,\dots,a_n\}$ and $B=\{b_1,\dots,b_n\}$, the sums of the form $\sum_{i=1}^n a_i\,b_{\pi(i)}$ always take on $\Omega(n^{3})$ distinct values, as we range over all permutations $\pi \in…
We give a survey on the theory of representation-finite and certain minimal representation-infinite algebras.The main goals are the existence of multiplicative bases and of coverings with good properties. Both are attained via…
It is proved that -- consistently -- there can be no ccc closed P-sets in the remainder space omega^* .
We build examples of properly convex projective manifold $\Omega/ \Gamma$ which have finite volume, are not compact, nor hyperbolic in every dimension $n \geqslant 2$. On the way, we build Zariski-dense discrete subgroups of $\SL_{n+1}(\R)$…
We construct Menger subsets of the real line whose product is not Menger in the plane. In contrast to earlier constructions, our approach is purely combinatorial. The set theoretic hypothesis used in our construction is far milder than…
We prove an unconditional power saving for the dimension of the space of cohomological automorphic forms of fixed level and growing weight on GL_2 over any number field which is not totally real. Our proof involves the theory of p-adically…
We settle all problems posed by Scheepers, in his tribute paper to Gerlits, concerning the additivity of the Gerlits--Nagy property and related additivity numbers. We apply these results to compute the minimal number of concentrated sets of…
Given a connected graph with domination (or total domination) number \gamma>=2, we ask for the maximum number m_\gamma and m_{\gamma,T} of dominating and total dominating sets of size \gamma. An exact answer is provided for \gamma=2and…
We show that, in contrast to the integers setting, almost all even order abelian groups $G$ have exponentially fewer maximal sum-free sets than $2^{\mu(G)/2}$, where $\mu(G)$ denotes the size of a largest sum-free set in $G$. This confirms…
We contribute to the study of $\aleph_1$-dense sets of reals, a mainstay in set theoretic research since Baumgartner's seminal work in the 70s. In particular, we show that it is consistent with $\textsf{MA}$ that there exists an…
Let $(X, +)$ denote $(\mathbb{R}, +)$ or $(2^{\omega}, +_2)$. We prove that for any meagre set $F \subseteq X$ there exists a subgroup $G \le X$ without the Baire property, disjoint with some translation of F. We point out several…
