We give an explicit combinatorial description of the two-dimensional faces of both the order polytope $\mathcal{O}(P)$ and the chain polytope $\mathcal{C}(P)$ of a partially ordered set $P$. Using these descriptions, we show that for any…
This paper extends the Kadison duality between compact convex sets and function systems to the setting of partial convexity. A partially convex set is a set that is convex in a designated set of convex variables when the others are held…
We prove that, for any $d$ linearly independent functions from some set into a $d$-dimensional vector space over any field, the family of zero sets of all non-trivial linear combination of these functions has VC-dimension and Littlestone…
We prove a general criterion for a metric space to have conformal dimension one. The conditions are stated in terms of the existence of enough local cut points in the space. We then apply this criterion to the boundaries of hyperbolic…
Classical problems of sorting and searching assume an underlying linear ordering of the objects being compared. In this paper, we study a more general setting, in which some pairs of objects are incomparable. This generalization is relevant…
The separation dimension of a graph $G$, written $\pi(G)$, is the minimum number of linear orderings of $V(G)$ such that every two nonincident edges are "separated" in some ordering, meaning that both endpoints of one edge appear before…
It is consistent that there is a partial order (P,<) of size aleph_1 such that every monotone (unary) function from P to P is first order definable in (P,<). The partial order is constructed in an extension obtained by finite support…
We consider the problem of determining which classes of functions can be tested more efficiently than they can be learned, in the distribution-free sample-based model that corresponds to the standard PAC learning setting. Our main result…
In this paper, we discuss some dimension results for triangle sets of compact sets in $\mathbb{R}^2$. In particular, we prove that for any compact set $F$ in $\mathbb{R}^2$, the triangle set $\Delta(F)$ satisfies \[ \dim_{\mathrm{A}}…
We consider the functor C that to a unital C*-algebra A assigns the partial order set C(A) of its commutative C*-subalgebras ordered by inclusion. We investigate how some C*-algebraic properties translate under the action of C to…
We study the Vapnik-Chervonenkis (VC) dimension of the set of quadratic residues (i.e. squares) in finite fields, $\mathbb F_q$, when considered as a subset of the additive group. We conjecture that as $q \to \infty$, the squares have the…
Quantization dimension has been computed for many invariant measures of dynamically defined fractals having well separated cylinders, that is, in the cases when the so-called Open Set Condition (OSC) holds. To attack the same problem in…
Partially ordered sets of type (k, n) are the sets such that a) cardinality of each set is n, b) dimension of each set is two, c) length of the maximal antichain in each set is k. Let \alpha_k(n) be the number of partially ordered sets of…
We establish an explicit link between depth-3 formulas and one-sided approximation by depth-2 formulas, which were previously studied independently. Specifically, we show that the minimum size of depth-3 formulas is (up to a factor of n)…
Given a set $X$ and a collection ${\mathcal H}$ of functions from $X$ to $\{0,1\}$, the VC-dimension measures the complexity of the hypothesis class $\mathcal{H}$ in the context of PAC learning. In recent years, this has been connected to…
We show that certain families of sets in $\mathbb{R}^2$ (or $\mathbb{R}^n$) which are neither definable nor have bounded VC-dimension are nonetheless uniformly approximately definable in the real field, an o-minimal structure.
We show that there exists an absolute constant $C>0$ such that any family $\mathcal{F}\subset \{0,1\}^n$ of size at least $Cn^3$ has dual VC-dimension at least 3. Equivalently, every family of size at least $Cn^3$ contains three sets such…
The dimension of a partially-ordered set (poset), introduced by Dushnik and Miller (1941), has been studied extensively in the literature. Recently, Ueckerdt (2016) proposed a variation called local dimension which makes use of partial…
We show that conformal blocks simplify greatly when there is a large difference between two of the scaling dimensions for external operators. In particular the spacetime dimension only appears in an overall constant which we determine via…
A partition P of the vertex set of a connected graph G is a locating partition of G if every vertex is uniquely determined by its vector of distances to the elements of P. The partition dimension of G is the minimum cardinality of a…
