Let $H$ be an infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space, $B(H)$ the $C^*$-algebra of all bounded linear operators on $H,$ $U(B(H))$ the unitary group of $B(H)$ and ${\cal K}\subset B(H)$ the ideal of compact operators. Let $G$ be a…

Let $K$ be a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}$ and $\mathcal{O}_K$ be its ring of integers. Let $\mathfrak{B}$ be a primitive collection of ideals in $\mathcal{O}_K$. We show that any $\mathfrak{B}$-free system is essentially minimal.…

Let F(X) be the set of finite nonempty subsets of a set X. We have found the necessary and sufficient conditions under which for a given function f:F(X)-->R there is an ultrametric on X such that f(A)=diam A for every A\in F(X). For finite…

A finite relational structure A is called compact if for any infinite relational structure B of the same type, the existence of a homomorphism from B to A is equivalent to the existence of homomorphisms from all finite substructures of B to…

A set $A$ is MSTD (more-sum-than-difference) if $|A+A|>|A-A|$. Though MSTD sets are rare, Martin and O'Bryant proved that there exists a positive constant lower bound for the proportion of MSTD subsets of $\{1,2,\ldots ,r\}$ as…

We call a family $\mathcal{F}$ of subsets of $[n]$ $s$-saturated if it contains no $s$ pairwise disjoint sets, and moreover no set can be added to $\mathcal{F}$ while preserving this property (here $[n] = \{1,\ldots,n\}$). More than 40…

A space $X$ is called selectively separable(R-separable) if for every sequence of dense subspaces $(D_n : n\in\omega)$ one can pick finite (respectively, one-point) subsets $F_n\subset D_n$ such that $\bigcup_{n\in\omega}F_n$ is dense in…

We provide a constructive algorithm to find the best separable approximation to an arbitrary density matrix of a composite quantum system of finite dimensions. The method leads to a condition of separability and to a measure of…

A 3-simplex is a collection of four sets A_1,...,A_4 with empty intersection such that any three of them have nonempty intersection. We show that the maximum size of a set system on n elements without a 3-simplex is $2^{n-1} +…

A topological space is iso-dense if it has a dense set of isolated points. A topological space is scattered if each of its non-empty subspaces has an isolated point. In $\mathbf{ZF}$, in the absence of the axiom of choice, basic properties…

We obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for an algebraic set in a group to have a fully characteristic radical. As a result, we see that if the radical of a system of equation $S$ over a group $G$ is fully characteristic, then there…

The distinguishing number of a structure is the smallest size of a partition of its elements so that only the trivial automorphism of the structure preserves each cell of the partition. We show that for any countable subset of the positive…

We investigate the partitioning of partial orders into a minimal number of heapable subsets. We prove a characterization result reminiscent of the proof of Dilworth's theorem, which yields as a byproduct a flow-based algorithm for computing…

Hyperfields and systems are two algebraic frameworks which have been developed to provide a unified approach to classical and tropical structures. All hyperfields, and more generally hyperrings, can be represented by systems. Conversely, we…

We show that a hypersimple unidimensional theory that has a club of reducts, in the partial order of all countable reducts, that are coordinatized in finite rank, is supersimple.

Let $G$ be a nonabelian group and $n$ a natural number. We say that $G$ has a strict $n$-split decomposition if it can be partitioned as the disjoint union of an abelian subgroup $A$ and $n$ nonempty subsets $B_1, B_2, \ldots, B_n$, such…

Suppose that all hyperbolic groups are residually finite. The following statements follow: In relatively hyperbolic groups with peripheral structures consisting of finitely generated nilpotent subgroups, quasiconvex subgroups are separable;…

A set $A$ is an $(r,\ell)$-approximate group in the additive abelian group $G$ if $A$ is a nonempty subset of $G$ and there exists a subset $X$ of $G$ such that $|X| \leq \ell$ and $rA \subseteq X+A$. The set $A$ is an asymptotic…

We study separating systems of the edges of a graph where each member of the separating system is a path. We conjecture that every $n$-vertex graph admits a separating path system of size $O(n)$ and prove this in certain interesting special…

A set $M$ of nonzero integers is said to split a finite abelian group $G$ if there exists a subset $S\subseteq G$ such that $M\cdot S = G\setminus\{0\}$. Such a splitting is called purely singular if every prime divisor of $|G|$ divides…
