In this paper we complete the attempt of H. Lefmann to show that Borel equivalence relations on the $n$-element subsets of $2^{\omega}$, that respect an order type, have a finite Ramsey basis.

We prove that, for every norm on $\mathbb{R}^d$ and every $E \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$, the Hausdorff dimension of the distance set of $E$ with respect to that norm is at least $\dim_{\mathrm{H}} E - (d-1)$. An explicit construction follows,…

We show that if compact set $E\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ has Hausdorff dimension larger than $\frac{d}{2}+\frac{1}{4}$, where $d\geq 4$ is an even integer, then the distance set of $E$ has positive Lebesgue measure. This improves the previously…

In a previous paper the second author introduced a compact topology on the space of closed ideals of a unital Banach algebra A. If A is separable then this topology is either metrizable or else neither Hausdorff nor first countable. Here it…

Let $P$ be a finite simplicial comple with underlying space (union of simplices in $P$) $|P|$. Let $Q$ be a subcomplex of $P$. Let $a \geq 0$. Then there exists $K < \infty$, \emph{depending only on $a$ and $Q$,} with the following…

Let $E$ be a countable Borel equivalence relation on the space $\mathcal{E}_{\infty}$ of all infinite partitions of the natural numbers. We show that $E$ coincides with equality below a Carlson-Simpson generic element of…

We examine caloric measures $\omega$ on general domains in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1} = \mathbb{R}^n\times\mathbb{R}$ (space $\times$ time) from the perspective of geometric measure theory. On one hand, we give a direct proof of a consequence of a…

We prove that for any $1 \le k<n$ and $s\le 1$, the union of any nonempty $s$-Hausdorff dimensional family of $k$-dimensional affine subspaces of ${\mathbb R}^n$ has Hausdorff dimension $k+s$. More generally, we show that for any $0 <…

I. J. Good (1941) showed that the set of irrational numbers in $(0,1)$ whose partial quotients $a_n$ tend to infinity is of Hausdorff dimension $1/2$. A number of related results impose restrictions of the type $a_n\in B$ or $a_n\geq f(n)$,…

The distance set $\Delta(E)$ of a set $E$ consists of all non-negative numbers that represent distances between pairs of points in $E$. This paper studies sparse (less than full-dimensional) Borel sets in $\mathbb R^d$, $d \geq 2$ with a…

Let $\Om$ be a Borel subset of $S^\Bbb N$ where $S$ is countable. A measure is called exchangeable on $\Om$, if it is supported on $\Om$ and is invariant under every Borel automorphism of $\Om$ which permutes at most finitely many…

It is shown that for every $\e\in (0,1)$, every compact metric space $(X,d)$ has a compact subset $S\subseteq X$ that embeds into an ultrametric space with distortion $O(1/\e)$, and $$\dim_H(S)\ge (1-\e)\dim_H(X),$$ where $\dim_H(\cdot)$…

For Borel subsets $\Theta\subset O(d)\times \mathbb{R}^d$ (the set of all rigid motions) and $E\subset \mathbb{R}^d$, we define \begin{align*} \Theta(E):=\bigcup_{(g,z)\in \Theta}(gE+z). \end{align*} In this paper, we investigate the…

Let $X=\{X(t):t\geq0\}$ be an operator semistable L\'evy process in $\mathbb{R}^d$ with exponent $E$, where $E$ is an invertible linear operator on $\mathbb{R}^d$. For an arbitrary Borel set $B\subseteq\mathbb{R}_+$ we interpret the graph…

Let X be an uncountable Polish space. Lubica Hola showed recently that there are 2^continuum many quasi-continuous real valued functions defined on the uncountable Polish space that are not Borel measurable. Inspired by Hola's result, we…

We indicate a way of distinguishing between structures, for which, we call two structures distinguishable. Roughly, being distinguishable means that they differ in the number of realizations each gives for some formula. Being…

We study the Hausdorff dimension of self-similar sets and measures on the line. We show that if the dimension is smaller than the minimum of 1 and the similarity dimension, then at small scales there are super-exponentially close cylinders.…

Let F be the flag variety of a complex semi-simple group G, let H be an algebraic subgroup of G acting on F with finitely many orbits, and let V be an H-orbit closure in F. Expanding the cohomology class of V in the basis of Schubert…

This paper is devoted to the study of analytic equivalence relations which are Borel graphable, i.e. which can be realized as the connectedness relation of a Borel graph. Our main focus is the question of which analytic equivalence…

In this paper, we use algorithmic tools, effective dimension and Kolmogorov complexity, to study the fractal dimension of distance sets. We show that, for any analytic set $E\subseteq\R^2$ of Hausdorff dimension strictly greater than one,…
