We show that it is consistent that the continuum is as large as you wish, and for each uncountable cardinal $\kappa$ below the continuum, there are a subset $T$ of the reals and a family $A$ of countable subsets of $T$ such that (1) both…

The goal of the present paper is to explain, based on properties of the conformal loop ensembles CLE$_\kappa$ (both with simple and non-simple loops, i.e., for the whole range $\kappa \in (8/3, 8)$) how to derive the connection…

We show that discrete one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators on the half-line with ergodic potentials generated by the doubling map on the circle, $V_\theta(n) = f(2^n \theta)$, may be realized as the half-line restrictions of a…

We study the representation of non-weakly compact operators between $AL$-spaces. In this setting, we show that every operator admits a best approximant in the ideal of weakly compact operators. Using duality arguments, we extend this result…

Motivated by recent results and questions of D. Raghavan and S. Shelah, we present ZFC theorems on the bounding and various almost disjointness numbers, as well as on reaping and dominating families on uncountable, regular cardinals. We…

In this paper we continue a long line of work on representing the cut structure of graphs. We classify the types minimum vertex cuts, and the possible relationships between multiple minimum vertex cuts. As a consequence of these…

We prove that for an arbitrary $\kappa \le \frac{1}{3}$ any subset of $\mathbf{F}_p$ avoiding $t$ linear equations with three variables has size less than $O(p/t^\kappa)$. We also find several applications to problems about so--called…

There are three main results in this paper. First, we find an easily computable and simple condition which is necessary and sufficient for a commuting tuple of contractions to possess a non-zero Toeplitz operator. This condition is just…

We prove that the almost sure Lyapunov exponent \lambda(\kappa) of the continuous space Parabolic Anderson Model is bounded above by $c_u \kappa^{1/3}$ as $\kappa\downarrow0$ under mild regularity conditions. This bound of the same order of…

We show that almost commuting real orthogonal matrices are uniformly close to exactly commuting real orthogonal matrices. We prove the same for symplectic unitary matrices. This is in contrast to the general complex case, where not all…

The current paper answers an open question of abs/1007.2426 We say that a countable model M characterizes an infinite cardinal kappa, if the Scott sentence of M has a model in cardinality kappa, but no models in cardinality kappa plus. If M…

For any cardinal number $\kappa$ and an index set $\Gamma$, $\Sigma_\kappa$-product of real lines consists of elements of ${\mathbb R}^\Gamma$ having $<\kappa$ nonzero coordinates. A compact space $K$ is $\kappa$-Corson compact if it can be…

We construct and study the conformal loop ensembles CLE(kappa), defined for all kappa between 8/3 and 8, using branching variants of SLE(kappa) called exploration trees. The conformal loop ensembles are random collections of countably many…

A cardinal kappa is countably closed if mu^omega < kappa whenever mu < kappa. Assume that there is no inner model with a Woodin cardinal and that every set has a sharp. Let K be the core model. Assume that kappa is a countably closed…

It is proved that smooth closed curves of given length minimizing the principal eigenvalue of the Schr\"odinger operator $-\frac{d^2}{ds^2}+\kappa^2$ exist. Here $s$ denotes the arclength and $\kappa$ the curvature. These minimizers are…

Suppose two Hermitian matrices $A,B$ almost commute ($\Vert [A,B] \Vert \leq \delta$). Are they close to a commuting pair of Hermitian matrices, $A',B'$, with $\Vert A-A' \Vert,\Vert B-B'\Vert \leq \epsilon$? A theorem of H. Lin shows that…

We give a very simple and elementary proof of the existence of a weakly compact family of probability measures $\{P_{\theta}:\theta \in \Theta \}$ to represent an important sublinear expectation--G-expectation $\mathbb{E}[\cdot]$. We also…

The Fourier-Walsh expansion of a Boolean function $f \colon \{0,1\}^n \rightarrow \{0,1\}$ is its unique representation as a multilinear polynomial. The Kindler-Safra theorem (2002) asserts that if in the expansion of $f$, the total weight…

Let $[n]=\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ be a finite chain and let $\mathcal{P}_{n}$ be the semigroup of partial transformations on $[n]$. Let $\mathcal{CP}_{n}=\{\alpha\in \mathcal{P}_{n}: (for ~all~x,y\in Dom~\alpha)~|x\alpha-y\alpha|\leq|x-y|\}$ be…
