It is easy to show that a pseudovariety which is reducible with respect to an implicit signature $\sigma$ for the equation $x=y$ can also be defined by $\sigma$-identities. We present several negative examples for the converse using…
Mean estimation is a fundamental task in statistics and a focus within differentially private statistical estimation. While univariate methods based on the Gaussian mechanism are widely used in practice, more advanced techniques such as the…
The study of the global structure of ultrafilters on the natural numbers with respect to the quasi-orders of Rudin-Keisler and Rudin-Blass reducibility was initiated in the 1970s by Blass, Keisler, Kunen, and Rudin. In a 1973 paper Blass…
An ultrafilter $\mathcal{U}$ on a countable base {\em has continuous Tukey reductions} if whenever an ultrafilter $\mathcal{V}$ is Tukey reducible to $\mathcal{U}$, then every monotone cofinal map $f:\mathcal{U}\ra\mathcal{V}$ is continuous…
We investigate sumset decompositions of quite general sets with restricted prime factors. We manage to handle certain sets, such as the smooth numbers, even though they have little sieve amenability, and conclude that these sets cannot be…
In this paper, we study some new examples of ideals on $\omega$ with maximal Tukey type (that is, maximal among partial orders of size continuum). This discussion segues into an examination of a refinement of the Tukey order -- known as the…
Tukey's depth offers a powerful tool for nonparametric inference and estimation, but also encounters serious computational and methodological difficulties in modern statistical data analysis. This paper studies how to generalize and compute…
A two-dimensional topological sigma-model on a generalized Calabi-Yau target space $X$ is defined. The model is constructed in Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism using only a generalized complex structure $J$ and a pure spinor $\rho$ on $X$. In…
It is well-known that the Toda Theories can be obtained by reduction from the Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten (WZNW) model, but it is less known that this WZNW $\rightarrow$ Toda reduction is \lq incomplete'. The reason for this incompleteness…
We study measurable spaces equipped with a $\sigma$-ideal of negligible sets. We find conditions under which they admit a localizable locally determined version -- a kind of fiber space that describes locally their directions -- defined by…
We formulate and discuss a conjecture concerning lower bounds for norms of log-concave vectors, which generalizes the classical Sudakov minoration principle for Gaussian vectors. We show that the conjecture holds for some special classes of…
Tukey depth, aka halfspace depth, has attracted much interest in data analysis, because it is a natural way of measuring the notion of depth relative to a cloud of points or, more generally, to a probability measure. Given an i.i.d. sample,…
We study ultrafilters on regular uncountable cardinals, with a primary focus on $\omega_1$, and particularly in relation to the Tukey order on directed sets. Results include the independence from ZFC of the assertion that every uniform…
We introduce a new class of ultrafilters which generalizes the well-known class of simple $P$-point ultrafilters. We prove that for any well-founded $\sigma$-directed partial order $\mathbb{D}$ there is a mild forcing extension where there…
This note explains an approach to producing examples of 'generalized Kuga-Satake theory' based on establishing special cases of Simpson's conjecture that rigid local systems are motivic. This strategy is then carried out, using work of…
This paper is devoted to proving the general {\L}ojasiewicz inequality, in both the definable and subanalytic cases, under the most relaxed assumptions. It means that we drop the usual continuity and compactness assumptions. In the second…
We reconsider the, by Brink and Vasiliev, recently proposed generalized Toda field theories using the framework of WZNW$\rightarrow$Toda reduction. The reduced theory has a gauge symmetry which can be fixed in various ways. We discuss some…
A generalized topology in a set $X$ is a collection $\text{Cov}_X$ of families of subsets of $X$ such that the triple $(X,\bigcup \text{Cov}_X,\text{Cov}_X)$ is a generalized topological space in the sense of Delfs and Knebusch. In this…
We continue the study of the pseudo-intersection property with respect to an ideal introduced in \cite{TomNatasha2}. Our theory applies to the study of the Tukey types of general sums of ultrafilters, which, as evidenced by the results of…
In this paper, generalised intuitionistic fuzzy soft sets and relations on generalised intuitionistic fuzzy soft sets are defined and a few of their properties are studied. An application of generalised intuitionistic fuzzy soft sets in…
