We show that in the iterated Sacks model over the constructible universe the Mansfield-Solovay Theorem holds for $\Sigma^1_3$ sets. In particular, every $\mathbf{\Sigma}^1_3$ set is Marczewski measurable and the optimal complexity for a…

We introduce a reducibility on classes of structures, essentially a uniform enumeration reducibility. This reducibility is inspired by the Friedman-Stanley paper on using Borel reductions to compare classes of countable structures. This…

We prove that the theory of Monadic Second-Order logic (MSO) of the infinite binary tree extended with qualitative path-measure quantifier is undecidable. This quantifier says that the set of infinite paths in the tree that satisfies some…

One of my recent papers transforms an NP-Complete problem into the question of whether or not a feasible real solution exists to some Linear Program. The unique feature of this Linear Program is that though there is no explicit bound on the…

A sequence of non-negative integers is exactly realizable as the fixed point counts sequence of a dynamical system if and only if it gives rise to a sequence of non-negative orbit counts. This provides a simple realizability criterion based…

For almost a century, the decidability of the Skolem Problem - that is, the problem of finding whether a given linear recurrence sequence (LRS) has a zero term - has remained open. A breakthrough in the 1980s established that the Skolem…

A field $K$ in a ring language $\mathcal{L}$ is finitely undecidable if $\mbox{Cons}(\Sigma)$ is undecidable for every nonempty finite $\Sigma \subseteq \mbox{Th}(K; \mathcal{L})$. We extend a construction of Ziegler and (among other…

We show that there is $n\in \mathbf N$, a finite system $\Sigma(\vec x,\vec y)$ of equations and inequations having a solution in some group, where $\vec x$ has length $n$, and $\epsilon>0$ such that: for any group $G$ and any $\vec a\in…

We determine when an arithmetic subgroup of a reductive group defined over a global function field is of type FP_\infty by comparing its large-scale geometry to the large-scale geometry of lattices in real semisimple Lie groups.

Many mathematical statements have the following form. If something is true for all finite subsets of an infinite set $I$, then it is true for all of $I$. This paper describes some old and new results on infinite sets of linear and…

Let $\mathscr{L}$ be a recursive language. Let $S(\mathscr{L})$ be the set of $\mathscr{L}$-structures with domain $\omega$. Let $\Phi : {}^\omega 2 \rightarrow S(\mathscr{L})$ be a $\Delta_1^1$ function with the property that for all $x,y…

Given a list of complex numbers \sigma:=(\lambda_1,\lambda_2,...,\lambda_m), we say that {\sigma} is realisable if {\sigma} is the spectrum of some (entrywise) nonnegative matrix. The Nonnegative Inverse Eigenvalue Problem (or NIEP) is the…

Sequential hypothesis testing asks for decision rules that update as data arrive. A natural goal is \emph{eventual correctness}: the rule may change its mind early on, but it should make only finitely many wrong decisions almost surely.…

In this paper, we show that the set of continuous functions defined on $\mathbb{R}^n$ that approach zero at infinity and attain their maximum at precisely one (and only one) point is $n$-lineable but not $(n+2)$-lineable. This result…

We show that certain families of sets in $\mathbb{R}^2$ (or $\mathbb{R}^n$) which are neither definable nor have bounded VC-dimension are nonetheless uniformly approximately definable in the real field, an o-minimal structure.

Fiber cones of 0-dimensional ideals with almost minimal multiplicity in Cohen-Macaulay local rings are studied. Ratliff-Rush closure of filtration of ideals with respect to another ideal is introduced. This is used to find a bound on the…

A multiset $\Lambda=\{\lambda_1,\ldots,\lambda_n\}$ of complex numbers is said to be realizable whenever there exists a nonnegative matrix of order $n$ with spectrum $\Lambda$. One of the broadest criterion that guarantees realizability is…

In this article, we investigate the existence and multiplicity of solutions to the Robin problem \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} -\Delta u = \lambda f(u) & \text{in } \Omega, \frac{\partial u}{\partial \nu} + \gamma u=0 & \text{on }…

We study the problem of deciding universal termination of linear and affine loops over the reals in the bit-model of real computation. We show that both problems are as close to decidable as one can expect them to be: there exist sound…

For a fixed countably infinite structure \Gamma\ with finite relational signature \tau, we study the following computational problem: input are quantifier-free \tau-formulas \phi_0,\phi_1,...,\phi_n that define relations R_0,R_1,...,R_n…
