We give a short proof of the fact that each homogeneous linear differential operator $A$ of constant rank admits a homogeneous potential operator $B$, meaning that $\ker A(x)=\mathrm{im\,}B(x)$ for $x\neq 0$. We make some refinements of the…
In the present paper, we consider elliptic operators $L=-\textrm{div}(A\nabla)$ in a domain bounded by a chord-arc surface $\Gamma$ with small enough constant, and whose coefficients $A$ satisfy a weak form of the Dahlberg-Kenig-Pipher…
We prove that for every Aronzsajn line A and every Countryman line C, there is a proper forcing extension in which A contains an isomorphic copy of either C or its converse C*. As a corollary, we obtain answers to several related questions…
Let H be a separable, infinite dimensional Hilbert space and let S be a countable subset of H. Then most positive operators on H have the property that every nonzero vector in the span of S is cyclic, in the sense that the set of operators…
Let $\kappa_e(\overline{M}_{g,n})$ denote the kappa ring of $\overline{M}_{g,n}$ in codimension $e$. For $g,e\geq 0$ fixed, as the number $n$ of the markings grows large we show that the rank of $\kappa_e(\overline{M}_{g,n})$ is asymptotic…
Cohen's kappa is a useful measure for agreement between the judges, inter-rater reliability, and also goodness of fit in classification problems. For binary nominal and ordinal data, kappa and correlation are equally applicable. We have…
Woodin has shown that if there is a measurable Woodin cardinal then there is, in an appropriate sense, a sharp for the Chang model. We produce, in a weaker sense, a sharp for the Chang model using only the existence of a cardinal $\kappa$…
It is shown that for any irrational rotation number and any admissible gap labelling number the almost Mathieu operator (also known as Harper's operator) has a gap in its spectrum with that labelling number. This answers the strong version…
We consider decompositions of the real line into pairwise disjoint Borel pieces so that each piece is closed under addition. How many pieces can there be? We prove among others that the number of pieces is either at most 3 or uncountable,…
We consider weakly closed transitive algebras of operators containing non-zero compact operators in real Banach spaces (Lomonosov algebras). It is shown that they are naturally divided in three classes: the algebras of real, complex and…
The Kalikow problem for a pair (lambda, kappa) of cardinal numbers, lambda > kappa (in particular kappa =2) is whether we can map the family of omega --sequences from lambda to the family of omega --sequences from kappa in a very continuous…
An inaccessible cardinal kappa is supercompact when (kappa, lambda)-ITP holds for all lambda greater than or equal to kappa. We prove that if there is a model of ZFC with infinitely many supercompact cardinals, then there is a model of ZFC…
Real and complex norms of a linear operator acting on a normed complexified space are considered. Bounds on the ratio of these norms are given. The real and complex norms are shown to coincide for four classes of operators: 1) real linear…
Let $\kappa$ be any regular cardinal. Assuming the existence of a huge cardinal above $\kappa$, we prove the consistency of $\binom{\kappa^{++}}{\kappa^+}\rightarrow\binom{\tau}{\kappa^+}$ for every ordinal $\tau<\kappa^{++}$. Likewise, we…
We provide analogues of the results from [FMR11, CMMR13] in the reference list (which correspond to the case $\kappa = \omega$) for arbitrary $\kappa$-Souslin quasi-orders on any Polish space, for $\kappa$ an infinite cardinal smaller than…
We extend our previous study of Hopf-algebraic $\kappa$-deformations of all inhomogeneous orthogonal Lie algebras ${\rm iso}(g)$ as written in a tensorial and unified form. Such deformations are determined by a vector $\tau$ which for…
In extension theory, in particular in dimension theory, it is frequently useful to represent a given compact metrizable space X as the limit of an inverse sequence of compact polyhedra. We are going to show that, for the purposes of…
We investigate the combinatorial structure of the set of maximal antichains in a Boolean algebra ordered by almost refinement. We also consider the reaping relation and its associated cardinal invariants, focusing in particular on reduced…
Let $X$ be a set of cardinality $\kappa$ such that $\kappa^\omega=\kappa$. We prove that the linear algebra $\mathbb{R}^X$ (or $\mathbb{C}^X$) contains a free linear algebra with $2^\kappa$ generators. Using this, we prove several…
We introduce a new kind of infinitary logic that we call Boolean expansion of ${\mathcal L}_{\kappa \kappa}$. This logic involves a new kind of variable, that we call generalised Boolean variable. These variables range over the powerset of…
