We develop a robust uncertainty principle for finite signals in C^N which states that for almost all subsets T,W of {0,...,N-1} such that |T|+|W| ~ (log N)^(-1/2) N, there is no sigal f supported on T whose discrete Fourier transform is…
We define a certain finite set in set theory $\{x\mid\varphi(x)\}$ and prove that it exhibits a universal extension property: it can be any desired particular finite set in the right set-theoretic universe and it can become successively any…
For a cardinal of the form $\kappa=\beth_\kappa$, Shelah's logic $L^1_\kappa$ has a characterisation as the maximal logic above $\bigcup_{\lambda<\kappa} L_{\lambda, \omega}$ satisfying Strong Undefinability of Well Order (SUDWO). SUDWO is…
Let $k$ be a perfect field of characteristic $p > 0$, $W_n = W_n(k)$. For separated $k$-schemes of finite type, we explain how rigid cohomology with compact supports can be computed as the cohomology of certain de Rham-Witt complexes with…
We explain how to construct a cohomology theory on the category of separated quasi-compact smooth rigid spaces over $\mathbf{C}_p$ (or more general base fields), taking values in the category of vector bundles on the Fargues-Fontaine curve,…
Let $\mathbf{M}$ be the basic set theory that consists of the axioms of extensionality, emptyset, pair, union, powerset, infinity, transitive containment, $\Delta_0$-separation and set foundation. This paper studies the relative strength of…
Cohesive powers of computable structures are effective analogs of ultrapowers, where cohesive sets play the role of ultrafilters. Let $\omega$, $\zeta$, and $\eta$ denote the respective order-types of the natural numbers, the integers, and…
We show that the K-theory cosheaf is a complete invariant for separable continuous fields with vanishing boundary maps over a finite-dimensional compact metrizable topological space whose fibers are stable Kirchberg algebras with rational…
Let F be a field of characteristic 2. In this paper we determine the Kato-Milne cohomology of the rational function field F(x) in one variable x. This will be done by proving an analogue of the Milnor exact sequence [4] in the setting of…
We use a second-order analogy $\mathsf{PRA}^2$ of $\mathsf{PRA}$ to investigate the proof-theoretic strength of theorems in countable algebra, analysis, and infinite combinatorics. We compare our results with similar results in the…
Let $(F_n)_{n\geq 0}$ be the Fibonacci sequence given by $F_{n+2}=F_{n+1}+F_n$, for $n\geq 0$, where $F_0=0$ and $F_1=1$. There are several interesting identities involving this sequence such as $F_n^2+F_{n+1}^2=F_{2n+1}$, for all $n\geq…
We introduce "weakly chained spaces", which need not be locally connected or path connected, but for which one has a reasonable notion of generalized fundamental group and associated generalized universal cover. We show that in the compact…
In this paper we develop an axiomatic approach to coarse homology theories. We prove a uniqueness result concerning coarse homology theories on the category of `coarse CW-complexes'. This uniqueness result is used to prove a version of the…
We extend the classical Feferman-Vaught theorem to logic for metric structures. This implies that the reduced powers of elementarily equivalent structures are elementarily equivalent, and therefore they are isomorphic under the Continuum…
Given a smooth affine curve X over a field k of positive characteristic, and an overconvergent F-isocrystal on X, we prove after replacing k by a finite purely inseparable extension, there exists a finite separable cover of X, the pullback…
Higman's lemma states that for any well partial order $X$, the partial order $X^*$ of finite sequences with members from $X$ is also well. By combining results due to Girard as well as Sch\"{u}tte and Simpson, one can show that Higman's…
In this paper, we prove that $\mathsf{ZFC+WA}_{n+1}$ implies the consistency of $\mathsf{ZFC+WA}_n$ for $n\ge 0$. We also prove that $\mathsf{ZFC+WA}_n$ is finitely axiomatizable, and $\mathsf{ZFC+WA}$ is not finitely axiomatizable.
The paper uses the formalism of indexed categories to recover the proof of a standard final coalgebra theorem, thus showing existence of final coalgebras for a special class of functors on categories with finite limits and colimits. As an…
We discuss counterexamples to the validity of the weak Maximum Principle for linear elliptic systems with zero and first order couplings and prove, through a suitable reduction to a nonlinear scalar equation, a quite general result showing…
A combinatorial proof of a pigeonhole principle of Gowers is found along with its symmetric and approximate version, FIN$_k^\pm$ theorem. The proofs do not use of the concept of ultrafilter.
