Many interesting questions in arithmetic dynamics revolve, in one way or another, around the (local and/or global) reducibility behavior of iterates of a polynomial. We show that for very general families of integer polynomials $f$ (and,…
Let $X$ be an algebraic variety equipped with a dominant rational self-map $\phi:X\to X$. A new quantity measuring the interaction of $(X,\phi)$ with trivial dynamical systems is introduced; the stabilised algebraic dimension of $(X,\phi)$…
Given matrices $A$ and $B$ such that $B=f(A)$, where $f(z)$ is a holomorphic function, we analyze the relation between the singular values of the off-diagonal submatrices of $A$ and $B$. We provide family of bounds which depend on the…
We introduce the Hermitian-invariant group $\Gamma_f$ of a proper rational map $f$ between the unit ball in complex Euclidean space and a generalized ball in a space of typically higher dimension. We use properties of the groups to define…
We find necessary and sufficient conditions on an (inverse) semigroup $X$ under which its semigroups of maximal linked systems $\lambda(X)$, filters $\phi(X)$, linked upfamilies $N_2(X)$, and upfamilies $\upsilon(X)$ are inverse.
Every function over the natural numbers has an infinite subdomain on which the function is non-decreasing. Motivated by a question of Dzhafarov and Schweber, we study the reverse mathematics of variants of this statement. It turns out that…
In matrix theory and numerical analysis there are two very famous and important results. One is Gersgorin circle theorem, the other is strictly diagonally dominant theorem. They have important application and research value, and have been…
I introduce a new family of axioms extending ZFC set theory, the $\Sigma_n$-correct forcing axioms. These assert roughly that whenever a forcing name $\dot{a}$ can be forced by a poset in some forcing class $\Gamma$ to have some $\Sigma_n$…
Gaussian graphical models have become a well-recognized tool for the analysis of conditional independencies within a set of continuous random variables. From an inferential point of view, it is important to realize that they are composite…
We investigate fragments of generic absoluteness principles known as Maximality Principles. We determine the consistency strength of $\Sigma_n$-$\mathsf{MP}(\mathbb R)$ and $\Pi_n$-$\mathsf{MP}(\mathbb R)$, the boldface Maximality Principle…
It is a striking fact from reverse mathematics that almost all theorems of countable and countably representable mathematics are equivalent to just five subsystems of second order arithmetic. The standard view is that the significance of…
Mathematical induction is a fundamental tool in computer science and mathematics. Henkin initiated the study of formalization of mathematical induction restricted to the setting when the base case B is set to singleton set containing 0 and…
It is tempting to assume that because effectiveness metrics have free choice to assign scores to search engine result pages (SERPs) there must thus be a similar degree of freedom as to the relative order that SERP pairs can be put into. In…
Let $M$ be a smooth manifold of dimension $2n$, and let $O_{M}$ be the dense open subbundle in $\wedge^{2}T^{\ast}M$ of $2$-covectors of maximal rank. The algebra of $\operatorname*{Diff}M$-invariant smooth functions of first order on…
The independence of the continuum hypothesis is a result of broad impact: it settles a basic question regarding the nature of N and R, two of the most familiar mathematical structures; it introduces the method of forcing that has become the…
We consider the algebra of invariants of $d$-tuples of $n\times n$ matrices under the action of the orthogonal group by simultaneous conjugation over an infinite field of characteristic $p$ different from two. It is well-known that this…
Let kappa be the least ordinal alpha such that L_{alpha}(R) is admissible. Let A be the set of reals x such that x is ordinal definable in L_{\alpha}(R), for some alpha<kappa. It is well known that (assuming determinacy) A is the largest…
Cardinal characteristics of the continuum represent the boundaries in size between the countable and the continuum with respect to certain properties of sets. They are often defined as the minimum sizes of families of reals that meet some…
We consider functions of the type $f(z)=z+a_2z^2+a_3z^3+\cdots$ from a family of all analytic and univalent functions in the unit disk. Let $F$ be the inverse function of $f$, given by $F(z)=w+\sum_{n=2}^{\infty}A_nw^n$ defined on some…
In 1988, Sibe Marde\v{s}i\'{c} and Andrei Prasolov isolated an inverse system $\mathbf{A}$ with the property that the additivity of strong homology on any class of spaces which includes the closed subsets of Euclidean space would entail…
