Let M be the ideal of first category subsets of R and non(M)=min{card X: X \subseteq R, X \not\in M}. We consider families \Phi of sequences converging to \infty, with the property that for every open set U \subseteq R that is unbounded…

An infinite real sequence $\{a_n\}$ is called an invariant sequence of the first (resp., second) kind if $a_n=\sum_{k=0}^n {n \choose k} (-1)^k a_k$ (resp., $a_n=\sum_{k=n}^{\infty} {k \choose n} (-1)^k a_k$). We review and investigate…

We construct certain non-degenerate maps and sets, mainly in the complex-analytic category. For example, we show that for every countable subset S in an irreducible complex space X there exists a holomorphic map from the unit disk to X such…

The main result given in Theorem~1.1 is a condition for a map $X$, defined on the complement of a disk $D$ in R^2 with values in R^2, to be extended to a topological embedding of R^2, not necessarily surjective. The map $X$ is supposed to…

We investigate algebraic and arithmetic properties of a class of sequences of sparse polynomials that have binomial coefficients both as exponents and as coefficients. In addition to divisibility and irreducibility results we also consider…

The notion of a derived A-infinity algebra, considered by Sagave, is a generalization of the classical notion of A-infinity algebra, relevant to the case where one works over a commutative ring rather than a field. We initiate a study of…

This paper is devoted to proving an infinite sequence of relations for rooted tree maps. On the way, we also give a basis for the space of rooted tree maps.

We prove various results around indiscernibles in monadically NIP theories. First, we provide several characterizations of monadic NIP in terms of indiscernibles, mirroring previous characterizations in terms of the behavior of finite…

In this paper we introduce the concept of purely infinite rings, which in the simple case agrees with the already existing notion of pure infiniteness. We establish various permanence properties of this notion, with respect to passage to…

In this paper all rings are commutative. We prove some new results on flat epimorphisms of rings and pointwise localizations. Especially among them, it is proved that a ring $R$ is an absolutely flat (von-Neumann regular) ring if and only…

We give a full solution to the question of existence of indiscernibles in dependent theories by proving the following theorem: for every $\theta$ there is a dependent theory $T$ of size $\theta$ such that for all $\kappa$ and $\delta$,…

A topological space is called a submetrizable if it can be mapped onto a metrizable topological space by a continuous one-to-one map. In this paper we answer two questions concerning sequence-covering maps on submetrizable spaces.

We call a finite-dimensional K-algebra A geometrically irreducible if for all d, all connected components of the affine scheme of d-dimensional A-modules are irreducible. We show that the geometrically irreducible algebras without loops…

We prove that externally definable sets in first order NIP theories have honest definitions, giving a new proof of Shelah's expansion theorem. Also we discuss a weak notion of stable embeddedness true in this context. Those results are then…

There is no recursively enumerable sequence of sufficiently strong 2-consistent r.e. theories such that each proves the $2$-consistency of the next. Montalb\'an and Shavrukov independently asked whether this result generalizes to…

A sequence $S=s_{1}s_{2}..._{n}$ is \emph{nonrepetitive} if no two adjacent blocks of $S$ are identical. In 1906 Thue proved that there exist arbitrarily long nonrepetitive sequences over 3-element set of symbols. We study a generalization…

This paper introduces and studies nil-reversible rings wherein we call a ring R nil-reversible if the left and right annihilators of every nilpotent element of R are equal. Reversible rings (and hence reduced rings) form a proper subclass…

Let $p > 155$ be a prime and let $G$ be a cyclic group of order $p$. Let $S$ be a minimal zero-sum sequence with elements over $G$, i.e., the sum of elements in $S$ is zero, but no proper nontrivial subsequence of $S$ has sum zero. We call…

A short proof of the equivalence of the recurrence of non-backtracking random walk and that of simple random walk on regular infinite graphs is given. It is then shown how this proof can be extended in certain cases where the graph in…

We show that hereditarily indecomposable spaces can be characterized by a special instance of the Intermediate Value Theorem in their rings of continuous functions.
