We generalize the diamond principle and its variants using the notion of stationarity in trees introduced by Brodsky in [Brodsky, A. M., A theory of stationary trees and the balanced Baumgartner--Hajnal--Todorcevic theorem for trees. The…
The outcome of a weak quantum measurement conditioned to a subsequent postselection (a weak value protocol) can assume peculiar values. These results cannot be explained in terms of conditional probabilistic outcomes of projective…
We discuss several conjectures about derived equivalent varieties, defined over fields of arbitrary characteristics, and implications among them. In particular we show that the (conjectural) derived invariance of the Hasse-Weil Zeta…
We are interested in the possible sets of cardinalities of branches of Kurepa trees in models of $ZFC$ $+$ $CH$. In this paper we present a sufficient condition (for sets of cardinals) to be consistently the set of cardinalities of branches…
In this paper we show how some known weak forms of the Zilber--Pink conjecture can be strengthened by combining them with the Mordell--Lang conjecture or its variants. We illustrate this idea by proving some theorems on atypical…
We survey some recent results on the validity of Jensen's diamond principle at successor cardinals. We also discuss weakening of this principle such as club guessing, and anti-diamond principles such as uniformization. A collection of open…
Treebank selection for parsing evaluation and the spurious effects that might arise from a biased choice have not been explored in detail. This paper studies how evaluating on a single subset of treebanks can lead to weak conclusions.…
A congruence of the weak order is simple if its quotientope is a simple polytope. We provide an alternative elementary proof of the characterization of the simple congruences in terms of forbidden up and down arcs. For this, we provide a…
By an omega_1--tree we mean a tree of power omega_1 and height omega_1. Under CH and 2^{omega_1}> omega_2 we call an omega_1--tree a Jech--Kunen tree if it has kappa many branches for some kappa strictly between omega_1 and 2^{omega_1}. In…
In this paper, we introduce a very weak square principle which is even weaker than the similar principle introduced by Foreman and Magidor. A characterization of this principle is given in term of sequences of elementary submodels of…
It is shown, that the Aharonov-Albert-Vaidman concept of weak values appears to be a consequence of a more general quantum phenomenon of weak quantum evolution. Here the concept of weak quantum evolution is introduced and discussed for the…
We investigate the consistency strength of the statement: $\kappa$ is weakly compact and there is no tree on $\kappa$ with exactly $\kappa^{+}$ many branches. We show that this statement fails strongly (in the sense that there is a sealed…
The second author has recently shown ([20]) that any selectively (a) almost disjoint family must have cardinality strictly less than $2^{\alpeh_0}$, so under the Continuum Hypothesis such a family is necessarily countable. However, it is…
In [1] the authors claim that "weak values are not inherently quantum but rather a purely statistical feature". I argue that their model reproduces only few elements of weak measurements but fails to reproduce all the other intrinsically…
Assuming the negation of Chang's conjecture, there is a c.c.c. forcing which adds a strongly non-saturated Aronszajn tree. Using a Mahlo cardinal, we construct a model in which there exists a strongly non-saturated Aronszajn tree and the…
Weak radiative hyperon decays present us with a long-standing puzzle, namely the question of validity of a hadron-level theorem proved by Hara. We briefly discuss the conflict between expectations based on Hara's theorem and experiment as…
The Martin boundary associated with the simple random walk on an example of partially oriented lattice is shown to be trivial by computing fine estimates of the Green kernel.
Some simple facts are proved ruling the Collatz tree and the chains of vertices appearing in it, leading to the reduction of the number of significant elements appearing in the tree. Although the Collatz conjecture remains open, these fact…
We show that it is consistent from an inaccessible cardinal that classical Namba forcing has the weak $\omega_1$-approximation property. In fact, this is the case if $\aleph_1$-preserving forcings do not add cofinal branches to…
We use set-theoretic tools to make a model-theoretic contribution. In particular, we construct a \emph{single} $\mathcal{L}_{\omega_1,\omega}$-sentence $\psi$ that codes Kurepa trees to prove the consistency of the following: (1) The…
